Thanks Adrian! Came to the same descion and your words strengthen my opinion.
I guess it´s just important to adept to your board, once you are getting used to it, everything is going to work out…

Hey Eiki, the indoor survival fk would be a good for you, its more of a do all board and stiffer than the horrorscope and will suit your needs much better. Its got that perfect mix of softness and stability. I think the fk will make teaching easier too because its just so easy to turn. Also the indoor is probably a bit better overall on jumps. Snatch that indoor up and shred the gnar k Eiki!

Hi Adrian! Thanks for your answer!

I ride for 16 years now, but only since the last 5 years I get to mountains for about 30-40 days. Unfourtunatly no mountains near my hometown…
I have to be able to ride very technically because I am an Snowboard Instructor, got a be abel to show some exercises. Love to got in the park! There I enjoy big jumps, small ones and sometimes some boxes (not too good at rails). When theres pow I love to hit that too. I also realy enjoy doing tricks and stuff on the slopes, making the whole mountain a park…
To me, my actual board (Gnu RC 0708 Magne) seems pretty soft, but i guess there are softer ones. I think I would like to go with a board that can do it all, with a mid flex, not too soft not too stiff. Something thats stable on the big jumps but also not too stiff for doing tricks in the flat.
I hope u have an idea of my riding style now! Realy appreciate your help.

Eike

Eiki, could you fill me in on a few things first? I have ridden both boards and see upsides to both. What type of terrian do you ride? How would you describe your riding style? do you spend more time in the park or all mountain riding? Do you like soft boards or stiffer boards?

Hey Adrian!
Did you ever ride a “Indoor Survival”, perhaps with the flat kick stuff? If so, how would you compare it to your “Horror”? I already asked Madame Shay and i am happy with her reply, but some more input ist always appreciated!! Everybody else who has something to add, your welcome!
My Problem is: I am stuck between those two boards mentioned above, cant decide.

please excuse my bad english, I´m european..

Hey lee, I ride a 149, which I believe its changing to a 148 this year. Shay says its a bit stiffer, I rode it at the on snow demo & I think mine is just broke in. I got lazy steeze and that board is great for that. I have about a 8 degree bevel and its fine on ice, sick on rails. Good on all sized jumps, great in pow and somehow is still the softest board ever. Great for butters and tail/nose blocks. I ride a 149 with 25inch wide centered stance and 19 degree up front and – 15 and I don’t need to change it for different types of conditions. Its a wonder board! I’d like to check out a soild, where can I check one out?
