OK I am new to the whole forum thing.
I have an old motive (?) board. I am not too sure what it is it has a shield and two axes on the top and just says motive on the bottom of it. its a 56. it is a darkish grey color both sides. with black shield and axes and white motive.

My question is what is this board? how to I find information on it so i know what I am riding. so I know where to go.

I want to upgrade as this board has been used for a few years. but I am looking for somewhere that I can find a flex rating? type? pretty sure it is a chamber type of board. but I am looking for find some kind of specs so I know what to compare it too so that I know what to expect/look for.

any help would be great thanks!

different companies have different flex ratings. i have a burton x8 which has a rating of 3 and its no way as soft to butter on.

the best way to do it is to memorize how much flex ur board has by bending it with ur knee or hand, and then go to a store and find something similar:dunno:
