01-08-2007, 04:12 PM

Hey guys,
im new to this forum (this is my first post).
i just got back from heavenly this past week, and i f***ed my board up pretty bad

. sooo its time for a new one. ive had my LTD board for the past 3-4 yrs.

im looking to spend $400-500 on a board, what would be the best board for some backcountry boarding.

ive been looking at the Burton malolo , GNU Kyle clancy, and Rome Anthem.

anyone have any advice as what board to get?

Thanks alot in advanced.

i myself have never rode a rome but have heard a lot of people that are very satisfied with it. you may also want to check out the never summer premier or the atomic cold smoke.
