Jack M Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 I believe you meant Donek MK 161. It would be a much, much better board than an old FP 157. More grip, more edge hold, more energy, smoother ride, less chatter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
workshop7 Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 Also, I think the MK 161 might have a longer effective edge than the FP 167. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the FP's, Burton settled on a formula of 15cm nose length and 5cm tail length, so a FP 167 would have 147cm effective. MK 161 is probably 151cm effective or more.

1xsculler Posted April 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 My reason for bringing this up is I have a 2018 Coiler 163 SL, custom built for my weight, and an old (1995 to 2000ish best guess) Rossi 163 Slayer that I bought on Ebay for $29 and I don't notice a lot of, or any difference, in the way they ride. I like them both very much for their turnyiness. This is probably due to my lack of carving experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would depend on which combination of hallucinogens you took. 3 hours ago, 1xsculler said: My reason for bringing this up is I have a 2018 Coiler 163 SL, custom built for my weight, and an old (1995 to 2000ish best guess) Rossi 163 Slayer that I bought on Ebay for $29 and I don't notice a lot of, or any difference, in the way they ride.

ursle Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 Let's say it's 2001,(no MK) I had a blue factory prime and a Madd 158, took one run on the prime, laid into a front edge and it dug it's way to china, I landed 12' away, got to the bottom, sold that sucker....it tried to dig in all the way to the bottom... The tip dug in and it submerged, it noodled, what a pos. vs the madd 158, in it's day the best ice board available, excellent at carving on ice. Not a noodle.
