02-03 Burton Speed 168

[Guest MHM]

Any info or reviews on how this board compares to the previous years UP or FP would be appreciated.

12 meter sidecut and 19cm waist

the board is a fun board in soft snow

the board for me was like a springboard, it had allot of pop to it

it is a board I would only ride on certain days but when conditions were right it was a board that I could pull off some crazy small turns on

when I was living in steamboat springs I was riding down afterwork in the spring sorta snow getting a little air between my turns

I was riding down Vagabond and I was taking the corner onto betwixt riding like a mainiac and probably as nice of turns as I have ever made all with a huge heavy pack full of crap and softboots tied to it

I get onto betwixt start railing smaller turns and end up losing it and going over the bank

a couple patrollers say the whole thing as they were helping me back up the bank they told me I was looking great up untill my last turn

so I guess my answer is yep, its a decent deck in particular what they sell for these days

They also come in a 22cm waist, my buddy's got one. He's got big feet and likes it cuz he can ride at lower angles. Probably not as nimble as the 19cm, though.

I was riding the 167 I THINK

I still have it somewhere I should check and see what it is

that wide beast is something I never rode but Jack had one I think, maybe he can tell you a little about the wide board
