So sold my Pocket Rocket 2.0 unridden, was hard to justify having it where I live and the limited access I have to resorts so I moved it on. The guy I sold it to sent me this message and I thought it would be worth posting it here. Those looking to get on one, sounds a blast.

So, I've ridden a lot of great boards over the years, and I'm not to easily surprised anymore.
Until now. 😲
This thing (Pocket Rocket) is so much bloody fun.
I was a little cautious, worried I may be too big for it (6ft, 94kg).
Wrong‼it's short, but fairly stiff, & when I really leaned on it at speed, I couldn't believe how much it gave back, & its full banana. 🤷‍♂️
Super playful, nimble, you can spin it, or pop it off anything........ just fun.
I had great spring conditions, maybe that contributed, not sure. I got the feeling I could ride it anywhere.
Yeah, it's different, but it's so refreshing to ride different. I didn't want to get off it, you're imagination goes🤯

So now that I've convinced you, that you shouldn't have sold it............sorry.
Just want to say thanks.
I've been boarding since 84, & I love how snowboarding is still evolving.
This board was a wonderful surprise.

And doesn't it get some looks😳

Yep, sucks the big one doesn’t it. Makes some appreciate what they have hey, and others not so!

hey im getting a Korua dart for the upcoming season and wondering what bindings would pair well?
I also have a ride algorhythm that the bindings would also be used on.

I currently have a pair of malavitas that i'll be selling as i find them a bit too loose for my riding style.

tossing up between rome katana/dod, union falcors.
or something stiffer?
Most of my riding is carving, high speed and Japow also.

At least you know it went to a good home

Had a great time with my falcors on my Café Racer, they wouldn't be a bad choice. Not the most "surfy", but that's not what you seem to be looking. But I ended up swapping them for my Highlanders, which makes the front/back movement the Korua needs easier.

I usually use my Katanas and after thinking about it a little longer I think their probably an ideal binding for the CR. I just wish I had bigger feet so I could get more versatility out of it. Then again I have taken it through the park so I don't really know what I'm complaining about.

I'm trying to decide between a pencil or dart for japan?
What would be better? would be for powder and carving

guessing a 164, as im 10.5 boot and 200 lbs.

 

[Etienne]

No wrong choice, more of a personal preference I think. Honestly you can niptick the details of floatability and front/backfoot carving styles, but it's going to be small compared to getting the one you like the most on paper

 

[16gkid]

They're all the same board anyways 🤪

 

[Kevington]

The biggest difference is you can ride/land switch on the pencil if you need to, forget about that on the dart.

 

[Yeahti87]

Pencil 164 has different geometry than Dart 164. Way more EE, bigger sidecut radius and less taper on the Dart 164. Pencil 164 = Dart 156 on piste and the difference is a softer torsionally tail that is indeed worse switch. That’s it.

Yea pretty much. It always felt a little more like work than play on the snow we got last season. If the groomers were a little softer it would’ve been different I suppose. Then I rode @ridethecliche Simple Pleasures and it was way more fun on the same conditions. It could have been my physical specs but I never really bonded with the board, which is fine!

Dart for sure, those trees can be pretty tight! Just watch this and you see they are all on the Dart.

got a pocket rocket to add the the cafe racer my wife and i share. silliest lil board i've ever seen and probably even more fun than the sushi. paired with some 390 boss's adjusted to slack mode and i've got some high expectations this winter.

praying to our lord and savior for the nose rider this year. had a pre-order through milo but i guess korua axed shop sales for that board. anyone heard if it's resurrected for this year?

Maybe the Nose Rider got replaced by the Überegg this season?

Anyone interested in the new CR plus?
