SOOOOOO...in hopes of ending this creepy awkwardness.

Back to gear inquiries.

I didnt really see a review for the 09' Autos (not the EVERS). Was wondering how they compared to the Formulas and the EVERS. They'd probably be on a Believer as an ALL mountain freestyle and pipe board.

The Auto's are softer than the new formulas because they have more give due to the cable system. My buddy AJ rocks the Auto's on a Believer and slays everything on it and loves it, for me I think I'm more of a formula guy.

I noticed you were rocking the Vans Boas during most of the rides. One question, why the change from size 10 to 11 and vice versa?

BurtonAvenger · 10-21-2008, 11:54 PM

I was in an 11 with the old vans liners, when they switched to the new ones I dropped a full size in them, then after riding them for a while I pulled the stock liners out and put in Dalbello Aftermarket ski boot liners. I buy my boots with my toes curling and in pain because I'll ride the shit out of them.

Understandable. I wear an 11.5 to 12 and thought the vans I tried on was a 11.5 but my buddy that was with me swears them shits were 11s. I think he is right as well. I think the 32s were 11.5s. I loved the way the Vans fit though.

Any reviews on the Lib Tech Boxscratcher??

And reading the reviews on the skate banana it was described at Buttery?? What does that mean??

My son is 14, bout 5'4, 110lbs, size 9 boot, primarily a park rider but does like to do free style riding with his brother as well. He has gone back and forth on several boards ( Burton, Rome Graft, Gnu Street, & the Lib tech Box Scratcher & Skate Banana) but is getting his heart set on the Skate Banana 152! My concern is its alittle long for what he likes to do, will it be like a boat to him in the park?? I prefer him get the 148 Narrow but the boot size max is an 8 1/2. After all the reviews on different boards, do you have ANY SUGGESTIONS???

BurtonAvenger · 10-31-2008, 11:11 PM

Park riding is freestyle riding. Get him the skate banana 148 and say fuck the maximum boot on it.

One Word: Soft

This board was really soft to me even for being in the 159 size. At speeds it was very chattery and through a carve it just wouldn’t hold the way I wanted. I was really struggling and muscling it into deep carves. Switch it was fine and still very butterable. All in all this ride just wasn’t as much fun as I’d have liked, way to soft for what I wanted and very hooky. In the pipe the edge hold was so sub par after coming off riding that 160 afterblack. I just couldn’t understand why at times it would get hooky when initiating carves. Rome makes some awesome products but this was not one I can say I was in love with.

Are you sure that you had the anthem? From everything I have heard, it is very stiff.
