Hello,
I'm 6ft 2in and weigh 170 lbs. I rock a size 12 boot (Burton freestyle) and a size larger binding (Burton Cartel Ltd); but I am lacking a new board. I'm looking for a buttery board that is great at jibbing, and hitting kickers. I ride in the North East (Windham Mountain NY) so powder/pillows and other things i sont have to worry about. Now I've done my research like a good little boy, and i know i need the midwide boards (bleh) but i want to ride a 154. So if you guys could give me any advice on what to pick out, i would greatly appreciate it. I would like somthing close to a Burton Un.Inc (which i have but cannot ride due to massive toe and heel drag). I've looked into the Capita Midlife Theory and Rome Machine boards, but I am still up in the air as what it is I will pick. If you could possibly give me other board Options that would be incredibly helpful. Thank you for your time community. -Gepetto |

Rome Machine is sick. Also check the Agent.
but duh..... you want a 154 and you need a midwide.... duh.... Burton Royale... Uninc 54 is one of my favorite boards of all time. but the ww is a bit tight for yo me thinks depending on your angles. or check some of the Libs. |

I like the rome machine alot... but to be honest if im spending alot of
money i want a board i would fall in love with. Since I'm a college
student i have very little cash on hand, and the rome machine is
lacking in graphic appeal for me, although it is everything i could
ever want in a board. Any other suggestions?

Any Capita board is dope and most of them are fairly wide so i would rock out with that. I promise, you would fall in love with either boards.

So you think i should go with the Capita Midlife Theory? Or do you have
a better Capita freestlye/jib board for suggestion, or even another
company?

That may not be so!!! Do you think i could fit onto a burton twin 154? I have a burton Clash 162 with a waist of 54 cm and i have no heel or toe drag. (Stance is 15:-15). Think i could fit onto the twin? |
