Bobby Buggs Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) Well maybe not since its Coilers but for the past few times out I have been on my AM vsr 168 and thinking its great. Today I went back to my 177 Freecarve vsr and Holy chit it was amazing. I have not rode for the whole month so I expected to be a bit rusty, 3 turns in and I was right back to killin it from edge to edge. So I guess Im fickle as a school girl when it comes to my boards. Glad I limit my quiver to 2 boards Does this happen to you. Edited March 2, 2015 by Bobby Buggs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Yup, fickle carver here. I love each of my boards for what it does slightly different from the rest. I almost always have two boards with me, with one under me and the other locked on the ski rack. Although switching from a Skwal (10m sidecut) to a 22cm-wide EC board (~15m sidecut) is pretty comical for onlookers. So... Hard... To get... On edge... Not turning... :0 [slam!] LOL! One you manhandle to get it turning, one you try to keep from turning too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny, did the same thing this past weekend, minus the slamming. : ) Did a few runs on the skwal, then switched over to an unfamiliar setup on a 23cm EC board; 40 degree angle on the back foot with no lift or canting on either foot. (Experiment with a setup for Pureboarding style with mixed results) First few turns felt like I was riding a tank after coming off the skwal!

lowrider Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Been riding the Skwal so long I have to relearn how to snowboard. Maybe I can do a better job of it this time around. Longer Skwal on the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
