GNU Pickle vs Burton Process Flying V - Snowboarding Forum

mastershake · 01-06-2013, 09:28 AM

So the guy in our local shop convincingly made me put a deposit down for a Process Flying V (don't ask, I go to a store to cancel something and come out with tons of shit I don't need). Its a 152cm and I am 155lbs so I am afraid it'll be a bit too small, i also know that the edge hold on it isn't spectacular and especially on ice and that magnetraction seems better.

So I can probably get the GNU Pickle from them in 153 or 156 or I can try real hard and get my deposit back...

opinions?

What type of riding do you do and where do you ride?

ice coast. very rarely pow.

i'm looking for a playful board that i can throw around, im an all mountain rider, but i wanna start getting comfortable controlling the board and visiting the park.

if anything i'll leave this as a park board eventually or sell it, don't want to get involved with the burton channel system in case i wanna sell the board, that would mean i'd have to sell the bindings with it.
