Jack M Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 http://www.hardbooter.com/news/archives/49-The-Big-Madd-Stick.html Great job guys. The Madd 180 is truly a special board - easily my favorite Madd (I like bigger boards). The big radius is a real eye-opener/jaw-dropper. Just one question - is your 180 narrower than mine? You seemed to mention a narrow waist repeatedly. Mine measures about 192mm, fully 12mm wider than the 170. I really like the width of the 180 - feels "just right" for my 28.5 mondos. "stiff cord under the board" - that made me smile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bordy Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 They are all 19.2 according to Shaggy. Same as my Kesslers.. In my 25 shells I was fine just jumped right on and made it happen. Problem we have here on the left coast is snow. A board digs much deeper here. I know we have discused width before, it can be a personal issue requarding stance and angles that each rider likes. Even in my 25s I would like to back down the angle but I can't. Alpine boards need to be offered in widths so the rider can choose. I like riding all waist widths but some are more practical for specific conditions. At some point widths will become a option in hardbooting but for now you just have to take what you can get. Many manufactures are beginning to make width an option and I believe it will be a necessity in the future as board tech trickles down.

Jack M Posted October 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Pretty sure "the big 3" have tooling for different widths for many of their boards, but they either don't publish them or they don't draw a lot of attention to this fact. But yeah, I'd like to see a choice of widths become a standard option, in my perfect world. Say 180, 195, 210mm for starters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
