So is the Lib Technologies Skunk Ape MTX Snowboard a good board? and if so should i get the 157 length or the 162 length? i'm 6'2" 180 lbs. with size 13 boot.

first, what do you mean by 'good board'? libtech is a top manufacturer and has a good warranty. if you are asking if the board is a good fit for how you ride we can't say since you didn't provide that info. same regarding size, the size will depend on how and what you ride.

sorry. i'm a beginning park rider learning 1's but i have 5 seasons of riding under my belt that were mostly mountain riding so i'm comfortable in that respect. by good board i meant does it handle well, hold an edge well.

yeah its a big board ment for big boys, kind of on the stiffer side but it has a cnetered stance and flex, what they are trying to do with it is make a board thats good for freeriding and charging on but isn't so directional that its hard to land backwards on. the stiffness plus the mtx makes the edge holod really good esp for a heavier rider (compared to softer boards out there). its not a park noodle by any means.
