I see 0 reasons why a 6' man would ride anything below 160... As for versatility, it's the matter of setup choices, no matter HB or SB.

Just for something different I may demo a short Sashimi tomorrow using my F2 stepins and my UPZs which are totally comfy after a lot of screwing around with them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1xsculler Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 Just now, Jack M said: I feel like you’re asking for permission to quit...? Not at all but maybe broaden my ways of getting down the steeps at Jackson Hole with my son-in-law and grandkids. Alpine, hardboot carving is my passion even though nobody in my family or among my friends understands it or has any interest in it...they think I am a little crazy but that’s nothing new. I like being considered a little nuts by them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
