Never Summer Revolver opinions - Snowboarding Forum

policeman51 · 07-30-2011, 11:36 AM

I picked up a demo 2011 Revolver 159 a month ago for a deal.
The board is in great condition and I just went for it.
Now I'm thinking the board may not be for me.

I'm 5'10" and 200lbs, with a size 13 (thank you mom and dad for the giant feet). I run mostly groomers, pow when available, and natural jumps.

Just wondering if this board is gonna be too soft and if I should sell/trade it for a Legacy or maybe even a Dark Series.

Hey there. Im 6'3" and ~210 with size 13 shoes I used a 161 revolver and it is fine or better for all the things you listed wanting to do. the only area I would say it "struggles" in would be icey moguls. in those conditions the flex of the board makes it rougher but for normal riding and pow its great.

Thanks man. I'm sure it will be fine and I love the black deck and graphics. I had just been looking at the Legacy so much and then the Revolver popped up on a deal so I jumped on it. Now all I need is snow.
