should i keep it??? - Snowboarding Forum

local legend · 12-06-2010, 03:08 PM

I got a great deal on a 2011 forum conflict 157. I have not ridden it yet but can feel it is going to be a great board? Before I went shopping I was looking to get a 159 or 160 as I am 6'0 and weigh about 170-175 lbs. Now that I have it I am wondering if I should of stuck to what I originally planned. They make the conflict in a 160 with a weight range of 150-210. The 157 is 130-190. Should I just be happy with my 157 which to be honest I got for free, or should I try to sell it and get the 160. Can't decide so any input would be appreciated. I'm leaning towards keeping it. Thanks folks!

Keep it! I ride a 158 as my all mountain board and I weigh around 185

I think you should just keep it

I don't think you would feel that much of a difference between a 157 to a 160.
Just my opinion

The 2011 Conflict rips! It is super strong on edge...I am willing to bet that the 157 will be enough board for you (that is what I rode and I am 160lbs.)
