www.oldsnowboards.com Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Good solid carver, damp, low nose. What do you want to know?? Go ride it!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rc30rob Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 All i need to know i guess is it ok for a novice carver but i have loads of soft boot riding experience i have a chance to buy it ,thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Houghton Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Awful big for a first board. Will not let you make many mistakes. Most people start with a 160-175 board, which is much easier to handle. Not to say that it can't be done though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Sub Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 yeah thats a pretty darn big board for a first timer! unless youre a big, powerful rider that understands carving thoroughly, and dont have super big feet so you dont get stuck with too high angles at the outset. might want to consider easing into it like Houghton said.

RJ-PS Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 I just put a first time carver on the same model in a 190cm size. It just depends on the rider. He loves it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdea Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 are decent but I must warn you that once you know how to ride well to not ride that board in soft snow, those rossis are soft right in front of the inserts and its easy to fold them, very easy other than that they are great decks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to remind myself not to do that on will garrow's rossi 184. LeeW, ouch, Dude!!! I rode the 190cm quite a bit and liked it overall. I did stuff the nose on one real hard on soft snow one day. Fortunately I just got slammed and my bell rung!! I would certainly ride one again, they are fun boards that carve well. Just a bit wider than I typically seek. A young buck who rides Mt Bachelor calls them "Exploders". He has evidently snapped a couple of them. I am told they have a carbon stringer in them?? To be fair , this young man cranks a turn like few I have ever seen, starts out hard and doesn't let up all day. He takes a beating for it though.
