Same old shit, different years and different shit. Just picked up my new Berzerker, Raiden Phantoms, and Northwave Decade sl's.
Attach a pic and share what u got!
hear say only really. This is my second arbor board though the westmark and now the coda, have the 08 westmark it was a great board and i still ride it but i got it at the time cause i wanted to get more into park(that was a mistake, can ride park but it gets old fast for me.), waiting for the season to pick up before bringing out the new girl.
"Flex: Softer in the nose then stiffening up under foot and in the tail. Little bit of give torsionally to allow for center twisting when initiating turns.
Stability: The nose had a bit of chatter but over all this board is stable but lively.
Ollies: You can load up the tips and snap. Granted the tail will have more snap than the nose due to the flex.
Pop On Jumps: You can send a jump on this board without a problem.
Butterability: The nose being softer lets you play around on that a bit better than the tail.
Jibbing: It’ll get the job done but you have to put a bit more effort into it.
Carving: You can rail a turn underfoot due to the griptech. This board is at home laying carves all the way down the mountain.
Rider in Mind: Someone that doesn’t want a twin and will ride the whole mountain.
Personal Thoughts: This board really hasn’t changed since the last time I reviewed it. It’s still a consistently solid ride that can handle it all. If anything I would say it’s a slightly directional Westmark or Blacklist in how it rides albeit with just a bit more give in the nose."
Well if you get a chance on it let me know what you think. I'm looking for a new setup. Haven't tried many boards. Still riding an old 170 never summer legacy. I need something that will handle better through the trees. Hesitant to buy something without demoing it.
holy shit a 170? i can see why your wanting new board. Yeah i dont normally buy boards without demo first but this wont be the first or even second arbor i've ridden only the r=second i've owned, so i feel comfortable enough knowing that the board will do what they say it does.
You want to ride tree lines, yeah get a shorter board with a mid/wide depending on your weight and foot size then go tear it up.
Set ups are: 2012 salomon grip 154 with burton cartels. 2012 salomon powdersnake 160 with flow flite 3's, and a 2013 k2 panoramic splitty 162 with burton mission binders. Hoping for a kick ass season for everyone! (K2 Supersmooths for the wife and Lamar Omen for my nephew)
Does it bug you at all that the second set of BOAs are on the inside of the boot instead of the outside? I have 2012 DC Judges like that and the day I got them, I accidentally clicked my boots together and one of the BOAs snapped the other one right off.
Finally got my last peice if equipment in.
2013 Ride Triad boots. These are by far the loudest thing I have never boughten.
In the background are my new 2012 Rome 390 Boss'.
Pretty much the same as last season
Capita Ultrafear w/ Union Atlas
Echelon Rounds w/ Ride Delta Mvmt
And just cuz it looks so nice, my friends new setup:
Echelon Attack Plan w/ Forum Faction
Took me a while to get it all together but, the bindings finally came in yesterday!
2012 Flow Quantum
2012 Rome 390 Boss
2013 Burton Invader Boots
