The Great Question - Snowboarding Forum

we all know what it is. let me give you some background info.

so gr. 5, at the age of 10, i take up snowboarding. i love. i'm riding, doing rails, jumps everything. 15 years old, and i end up needing some new equipment. at this point i was really getting into freestyle skiing, which i still do. now at the age of 17, i'm looking to pick up a board again.

it has always been in the back of my mind to get a snowboard and start riding again, whether it be a combo of both, or just snowboarding.

so i have my experience snowboarding. i'm looking for a freestyle board. 195lbs, 5'11. from what i know, i'm looking at a 157+, but dont know where to look.
i want something that has a bit more flex, but still holds on some groomers, and wont chatter.
and something light would be nice too. i have other equipment that still works and fits.

youll probably want something 160-162 and possibly a wide depending on your boot size. do you do a lot of switch riding? could be a factor?

price range?

annd although its probs too small for me, i was thinking about getting the rome garage rocker ltd in a 156.
