Help me decide please - Snowboarding Forum

I can't decide between these three boards, TRS, Travis Rice, and Banana Magic. I barely ever go into the park, mostly just groomers and trees. All three seem to be able to do what I want but I am still not sure which I would enjoy the most. The reviews on all three are great, so that doesn't really help me.

any more specifics on what riding you do?

where do you usually ride?

are you riding pow constantly? at all?

chrisj · 10-23-2011, 12:46 PM

I ride 15-20 days a year, in Colorado, Utah, and California. I only get to ride pow if there happened to be a big dump while I am on a trip.

I am usually just trying to get speed and make short turns down the mountain, but every once in a while I like to just cruise, relax, and stay with my wife or beginner friends.

pick the one with the graphics you like the most because, 3 similar boards, 1 with banana, 2 with C2.

My vote is Travis' board...sick.

Of the 3 from what you said I say Travis Rice too. It will do it all and if you get a dump you'll be loving it

This is my vote as well

Would me having a 9.5 boot make it harder to get on edge with the t.rice since it's a mid wide? Or should I not worry about it? I am looking at the 157 in all three boards.

7 maybe. 9.5 will be sweet. Absolutely not an issue.

Horsepower or no horsepower?
