Nitro T1 big enough? Equivalents? - Snowboarding Forum

vis a vis · 12-20-2010, 09:52 AM

I (heigth 6'4", weight 176lbs, foot size 13) am considering getting the Nitro T1 wide for all around park riding (50% medium jumps and pipe, 50% rails and jibs)

Do you think the 159cm T1 is big enough for me? What would be similar, larger boards from other brands?

Thanks in advance for any information

(my english might be a little odd sometimes, that's because I'm german and only know it from school ...)

A 159W should be fine for you... do they have a size down from that.. say a 156W or so? You could also consider that..

Thank you. I was just worried it could be too instable when going a little faster for a change (say to the next park/spot ...^^) or for jumps, considering that i'm pretty tall ...

EDIT: It's 158w, not 159
