Help me u fellow big guys,
I am an old heavy-set (read fat rad dad) guy, "forever intermediate" rider, looking to buy a park deck to force myself to start progressing.
About 260lbs / 5'10'' / US 10.5, riding an old Yes Optimistic 157 as my all-mountain (best board I ever had... since way back when).
Now want something fun and catch free (confidence building), but live where we ride mostly icy conditions.
What is the most poppy model (maybe stiff with lots of camber and some edge-tech like magnetraction) to launch a big guy and handle the abuse... in like a 157w-ish size?
Most grateful if any of you with similar build and experience, could provide some of your hard earned wisdom!?
Even more grateful if any of you younger and thinner and more advanced riders, could manage to keep away from this very post and comment elsewhere
Cheers!
