Looking For A new Board..Need advice/Help - Page 2 - Snowboarding Forum

Okay well then let's stick to just park

I currently have a 161 Rome agent from 07/08? Which is in great condition and will suffice for groomers I believe!!

You will love the Gnu Pickle 159 Wide. Magnetraction will help with that E Coast hardpack and you will get the full freedom from catchitude that rocker was designed for. Keep your Agent and you will have a solid quiver.

Stoked!

Are hybrid boards not usually for park? Also are gnu bindings any good? many place by me carry the standard brands burton flow flux ride if im lucky... and the demos consist of just Burton products usually

Hybrid boards can certainly be used for park and most add in a little middle ground that gives them some overlap into other riding styles that benefit from more contact. Rocker remains the loosest, most playful profile.

Gnu bindings have a solid following. The Weird will be a great choice for you.

I think im sticking with ride bindings since the flows are ridiculously high priced for decent ones

also i feel like they're one of the only companies that offers weggies 1.5+from $175 and up pluas besides the beta mvmnt bindings theyve never let me down

Gnu's not really canted i feel like it may not be comfortable

anyways...

So as of right now im looking at these boards..

Rome Agent Rocker
Lib Skate Banana
Ride Machette GT
Lib Attack Banana
Gnu Riders Choice

any you guys like dont like or anything you guys heard about certain products?

Thanks,
Garry

I also haven't bought a board since like 02. I ended up getting a 2012 Rossignol Angus 159 which is a hybrid rocker/camber/rocker. I live in the Midwest where there is ice most of the time. After a coupon I bought it from Evo.com for $169 shipped. They make a mid wide version as well.
