deeluxflow Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 i am looking for a freecarve board that is better for every day carving than my burton factory prime. right now the fp is the only board that i have, but it is wicked fast, and the sidecut doesn't allow for tight slow turns. the fp is a 7.1 171cm. i am 6'3" and 220lbs. i am open to suggestions, and i am not looking for any particular brand. i am however, looking for inexpensive, because i just totalled my car, and i have to buy a new one. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deeluxflow Posted December 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 possibly, but i would prefer to trade. this is my only alpine setup, so i don't want to sell without having a replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowboardfast Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 Practice doing tighter turns on your current board. You should be able to do both short and long radius turns on that board. You just have to practice doing both. Especially as big as you are shouldn't be a problem. A free carve board might be slightly more turnier because of the smaller side cut radius but it won't be that much diferent. I am riding a 185 liberation and can do both small and large turns when needed. It has a 15 meter sidecut. Obviously I don't like to ride it early season when not much is open. I am 185 and 5' 10'' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
