Arbor Blacklist or Rome Reverb Rocker - Snowboarding Forum

daveron28 · 11-17-2011, 10:20 AM

Hello.

I've narrowed my choice of boards down to these two although still open to suggestions. I've read lots of good things about the Blacklist but the Reverb's a lot cheaper and still seems to have got positive responses. Can anyone tell me how these boards compare against eachother (hold on ice, flex, stability at speed etc). Riding will consist of a bit of park and limited powder and a lot of cruising groomed runs. I want a board that's going to do this and be fun rather than too demanding.

Is the Blackilst worth the extra £100 it would cost me?

Weight is 175-180, boots are size 11 (UK) so was looking at either the 157 Blacklist or 155/158 Reverb Rocker wide.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Anybody? is the blacklist noticeably £100 better than the reverb. Is it worth the extra cash if it'll only be used 2 weeks a year?
