    Reply Quote
    hey ive been posting here heaps recently but its getting closer to the season stars over here, about a month away and im stressing because i havnt picked up any of my new gear im getting this year. Im trying to find a board that will be soft enough to butter and play around but will also be able to do jumps and handle decent speed. Suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

    i used the the rome graft for 1 1/2 seasons as my everything but powder board. once i started to hit 30ft+ kickers i wanted something a little stiffer though. the distance or speed isnt what bothered me, it was how poppy the kickers were at PC that if i landed a little off i had a hard time carving out. granted i could of probably sharpened my edges and been fine, but who doesnt like new gear? i never felt sketchy at any speed on that board. and as greed said in your other thread the postermania or however its spelt is the reverse camber version of it.

    burton hero cuz it so easy to press and to do jibs but at the same time its one of the best jump boards iv ever ridden.... the only thing is that it isnt the greatest board when going really fast.

    if you want burton i would get either the custom v-rocker or the joystick both of those are all mountain freestyle boards which will handle jumps and speed nicely while the v-rocker will make pressing and buttering super easy
