Hey all, just joined this great forum. Been snowboarding for 2 years now, prob a total of 12 trips. I been hitting the park a lot last year and looking at progressing. I got a Rome machine 2010 I believe . I weigh 200-210 6ft 2in the machine is a 159. So I been looking at a softer board , because I also like to do butters. I was looking at the Rome artifact 155. With the contact bindings( can't remember the name of the bindings) is this a good board. I don't hit jumps that' much and I'f so not huge. I hit rails a lot and do some all mountain riding but I ride in NJ and Pennsylvania so the mountain isn't big. Any suggestions would be good, board and binding setup thx.

Hi,

The Artifact Rocker 155 Wide will be a lot of fun for you. This is a pure skate style deck and will be awesome for rails, presses, butters, boxes etc. If you has stressed the All Mountain part of your description, that would be a different story but for an amazing play board on a smaller mountain...you cannnot find better.

Alright , been looking at the 390's lot of people saying they have problems with it being a bit to small for 13 size boots, and Iwould not perfer the m9, any other suggestions? I saw the flux tt30's how are they?
They are awesome. What boots do you have?

They are awesome. What boots do you have?
I have the rome bodega but they didnt fit good, and hurt after a like 20min of riding. So I then purchased the burton Ruler-R and they fit really good, and I have no complaints witht them. I do not have much to choose from as far as boots from local store, Ill never buy boots online.

Also, your saying to get the rome 390 boss, it has a lot of adjustments which I am not fimilar with. Is there a significant difference with the regular 390, or even the mob boss.
