For the record, i do not have a BG anymore, i sold it. I posses a Burton Cheetah for pow and that board is in 159, i also have a lobster 157 and its fun for park but terrible for terrain found outside of groomed jumps. I would like to compliment my pow and park board with something like a Billy goat. I found it to be excellent for speed, pow, funky flex, magne was killer, base was fast, length was nice. Should i go with just another goat 162 OR a trice 157 replacing my lobster and adding a board at the same time. Keep the lobster and add a Goat, or sell it and get a trice? Im really never in park. My riding consists of exploring the mtn, speeding down groomers, jumping of shit, pretending i know how to butter then eating shit, tapping random things, looking for pow, getting in trouble in glades and spraying skiers that deserve it.
Id like to keep the lobster to have some differen shit if i ever get bored but if i find a board that does everything lobster and BG does combined i dont see the need for 3 boards.
i heard the Trice is stable? As much as 162 BG? i cant really believe that because my lobster is like summer tires on ice when it comes to going fast. and if i ever do anything park related its jump only, i never jib anymore. I do like to launch of things into pow tho. FYI my stats are 6'2 200lbs.
BG is longer and thinner, trice is shorter and wider. I guess i like the idea of a twin board, but its not like i couldnt ride switch on my BG.... now im thinking outloud. i never actually liked the tbt that much to begin with. It was fun to go from edge to edge but the tbt makes your nose so stiff it wears me out. Id like something aggressive that doesn't make it their slave. At this point if your still ready you deserve a cookie. Park is basically out of the window and pow is covered by my new pow gun (ze cheetah). What i need is something versatile, fast, stable, edgy, grippy, fun, loose, rc for those not too deep days that i need my cheetah but enough float to survive, edge to edge fast, and has the same cool feeling my BG had; solid nose and tail and flexy in the middle. OMg i want my BG back........ ugh. i cant believe i just typed this. Just waxed my boards for tomorrow, fucking sucks scraping of cold temp wax. Its like it turns into solid plastic.
