    custom vs. custom x vs. custom v rocker / sizeing

    Reply Quote

    Hi, I want to buy a new board, I consider myself a medium rider but with high growing rate.

    I want to buy a custom but I don't know which feets better to my style, currently I'm a freerider but I wana go freestyle this year. I ride 2000 - 3.300 th. altitude mountains. I'm 5.4 ft and 110 lbs, therefore I'm thinkin on a range of '45 to '50. I'm getting more and more agressive in my ride, however, for the moement I'm pretty chill. Therefore I know Custom x – freeride, oriented all mountain board, Custom – freestyle, oriented all mountain board, Custom x is stiffer , but I don't know where custom v comes in here.

    Can you please help me in this respect?

    you seem to know the general differences between the custom and custom x.  the custom v rocker is impossible to make a call on, because rocker is all preference.. youd have to try it to know if you like it or not.

    between the custom and custom x, it sounds like youre more of a custom guy, but you never know.

    when you say that you are a freerider, i am assuming that you must already have a freeride board? if so, then why would get the CX which is probably very similar to what you already have? go with the custom.

    It is settled, I'll go with the custom, plus I like the graphics very much. In respect of the size, I'm light weight (110 lbs / ). My actual board in 1.45, for freeride I definitely can go higher, however for freestyle I think is very good. I am thinking to with the 1.48.

    Thank you all for the advice.
