sgauto08 · 03-30-2009, 09:16 PM

I was just wondering what u guys think. I'm around 160 and 5'7" and I've been looking at an atomic hatchet that is a 149cm. just wondering if it could pass for my weight and height? thanks

it might be a little short, I wouldnt really go lower than a 152 for you. but I do ride a 152 and Im 180

beacuse it would be a bit short would it be harder to ride?

No, but it's a bit too small for your weight. The smaller the board, the softer it is, so it will feel like a noodle.

I'm 5'7, 110lbs and I ride a 146 and 149. For you, I would agree on the 152 being better.

What are you planning on using the board for? If purely for park, then the 149 shouldn't be a big deal. If you plan on freeriding it, get the 152 like everyone has stated.

depends on what you want to use it for, if your 75% park or more then your fine, anything less and i wouldnt think about it if i were you
