new board. - Snowboarding Forum

alaric · 08-09-2008, 11:05 PM

Yeah, so. I need a new board.

Options:

Ride Kink (loved the flex on mine)
K2 WWW
Capita Stairmaster
Rome Artifact
Forum Manual
K2 VaVaVoom

I honestly don't like the new Kink and WWW graphics (actually, i hate the new graphics), which WERE my two main choices.
Graphics aren't a big deal, I know, but these are are pretty bad this year, IMO.
Yes, the VaVaVoom is a girls board, but they're pretty sick boards.
I have slight problems with Forum, but I'm willing to overlook them if you guys think they're quality is better than what it used to be.

You guys know I'm mainly a jibber, and I love me some flex.
So, opinions will be greatly appreciated.

Much love.

i would go with the capita......or artifact the brass edges are good for jibs but i would tear them up....i went with the graft

Coming from a kink you'll find the stairmaster too stiff.

not a lot of hype on it yet, but the capita horoscope should be dope. i think its kinda like a stairmaster, with flatkick (flat btwn bidings and rocker after). its what i'm getting.

or look at a santacruz fusion TT

+1 for stairmaster

if the stairmaster is going to be stiff compared to what im used to, then its out of the running.

BurtonAvenger · 08-10-2008, 09:16 PM

Seriously the boards to look at are the K2 WWW (rockered version also), Kink, Artifact, signal park series. Those are going to stay along the same lines of flex.

Machine is really just a wide artifact so its right in those same lines but wide.
