Smokin M.I.P or Buck Ferton or Attack Naner - Snowboarding Forum

earl_je · 12-27-2010, 09:23 PM

Didn't ask for a Christmas present this year from the wife and with my birthday coming up, she decided to let me pick whatever snowboard I want, price doesn't matter...

By this weekend I need to decide what board to get and basically narrowed it down to, Smokin Buck Ferton/ Smokin MIP/ Lib Attack Banana. Choices are mainly due to the new/multiple tech combos on the three. Considered the TRS but wanted a fairly soft-mid flexing board.

Here's where I need help, because this will basically be a blind buy, havent demoed any of the three I need feedback from the people who've ridden these boards. Do you like the board? What do you like/dislike about it? Would you have bought it again after riding it several times? What other board would you have considered after riding it? Does it meet/exceed expectations?

I mainly freeride, tons of ground tricks, haven't been hitting the half pipe much lately but will still go on a stoked out, out-do your friend day. Bomb runs when I'm starting to get tired (my endurance goes faster than muscle fatigue), mainly just be playful all around the mountain.

No one has ridden these boards?

Weekends coming up, still no info.. wow. Leaning more on the MIP at this point due to flat rocker. Dual camber is awesome on the Buck, but I have an Evo alreay.

Thanks man! Been trying to find one, no luck yet. I'll try Gravitee. I've also been trying to ask you where I can find one in Summit but your PM box if full! clean it up dammit...

no way if I clean it out people will pm me again and fill it up. Gravitee is the only smokin dealer that I know of down here.

I have a review of my Buck Ferton in the reviews section. If you are looking for something more playful and flexy then an Evo then you are probably looking for the MIP.
