smaynard Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Looking for any offers/recommendations on a good racing board for the slalom course. I've been using a 171 FCI, but she's on her last legs. Would appreciate any insight. Thanks. p.s. 6'2", 185lbs, pretty aggressive rider...

Guest Alan Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 I have a Madd 158 used appx 10 times last year Great shape Best offer cplofloonatics@hotmail.com Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 I've got: 1) A never ridden Cocoon Lotus 158. She's got 11mm scr, progresive to tighter on tail, and carbon composite structure. 2) Nidecker Extreme 156. Tis is a beater, but cheap ;) See my tread for more specs: http://www.bomberonline.com/VBulletin/showthread.php?t=9968 And pictures at: http://www.blueb.biz/boards.htm Boris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smaynard Posted February 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Alan, I have last years Madd170, which I proceeded to hit a rock with and put a 3/4" core shot in the base. It was fast... It went from race board to rock board in seconds. I'm interested in the 158. How would it compare to the 170? Big enough for me? Thanks in advance for the info.

bobdea Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 he will let you ride one, he has a stack of demos or if you should be in MA there is a guy down here that has some as well the 158 is stiff in the nose area just in front of the inserts, I don't like narrow boards when the snow is all rutted up but if you can deal with that you probably will like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubz Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Dude Dont hesitiate, I passed on Alan's 158 b/c I already have one and it has upped my riding level a few notches in teh handful of weeks I have had it. Not as relaxed as teh 170 as far as initiating turns , but if you want something that will do tight turns, large open ones and be fairly stable at speed for a 158, this is the board to go with, IMHO. Dont expect to be lazy on it either. This board also helped me gain my confidence in carving steeps. Riding heavy in the nose and it holds an edge like a mother.

Guest dylan Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 I have a factory Prime 160, that is perfect for an aggressive slalom rider, a little too stiff and snappy for me, email me at canadiansnowboarding298@hotmail.com if you are interested. dylan.
