Hey everyone,
I am looking to get a new setup next season, and I want you guys to help me narrow out my selection.
I am...
6'1"
196lbs
Shoe size 10.5US
Ride 80%Park 20%Searching for terrains on the groomers
I am currently riding the 159 Gnu Carbon Credit BTX with Union Contact Pro binders. I love the board for what it is, but I think I am ready to move on to something shorter, more specific for my park/freestyle needs.
I have been reading the forum and doing some research, and it has come down to the following decks for 2012:
Gnu Park Pickle (156)
Gnu Rider's Choice (157.5)
Lib Tech Skate Banana (156)
Never Summer Evo or Revolver (155,156 respectively)
I like the BTX in the Mervin's line, but I wouldn't mind trying the RC from Never Summer. As most of the C2 BTX are on the stiffer side.
If I go with Never Summer, should I go with the Evo or Revolver? My 159 Carbon Credit has a 25.5cm waist. The Evo 155 has a 25.1 and the Revolver 156 has a 26.1... would either be too narrow or too wide for my 10.5 size boots?
If you have any experience with the boards mentioned, please advise.
Thanks!
