gawdzira Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 I picked up 2 used boards last year (thank you again to 1xsculler) and it has taken until now to ride the second one. I am not sure what happened after last January but all I know is that I am 10 lbs heavier and there are teenagers living at my house. Help me understand what I bought please. Board 1, The Firefly T 164 LVD 020 RH 6.3+9 This one was my favorite board ever until I rode Board 2, The Snake in my Boot T 172 AMTC 020 RH 6.4+4 What in the flip do these hieroglyphics mean? I was a little nervous getting the 172 since my previous board for almost 20 years was a 161 Nidecker SL board. But, after 1 run, the size was easy to control and I feel great at speed on toe side, heel side I do what I can to survive. My expectations are low at age 57 with maybe 7 days a year on the snow.

dredman Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 10 lbs will not make a big difference. The biggest difference is the LVD = Livvid model is a very energetic lively board and the AMT = All Mountain Titanal is a very friendly easy to ride board. Stay on the AMT until you get super comfortable on it. The Livvid is a very demanding board that will wear you out quickly, and will probably not be much fun after the groomers get cut up. The AMT will be a great ride all day board. Dont be intimidated by the length, it actually gives you more stability forward and aft. You have some great boards! Have fun with them! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gawdzira Posted February 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 Thanks. That is exactly the experience for both boards. Just don't tell my daughter that the green one is the all mountain board or I will have to follow her down the bump runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibrussell Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 Get a 160 asym for the bumps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 Get an ordinary narrowish freeride, or pow board, for bumps. You can still ride it with hardboots, but at low angles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowrider Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 You may be ten pounds heavier with teens in the house now but when they leave you will gain another 20 so enjoy the boards and save up for a custom build to your new specs.

arneburner Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 the 6.3 and 6.4 is the flex. The +4 and the +9 is the amount of decamber at the nose. The 020 is the year of the build. Not sure about the RH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Buggs Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 AMT is a blast to ride and opens up the entire mountain. I always end up on my AMT by noon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note that these flex numbers are not comparable across different lengths. They are deflection under weight measurements of the specific build; longer boards can measure higher deflection than shorter even when they are stiffer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
