Damien, I answered you in the chatbox as well on your reply. Horrorscope is definitely a softer park board, great for playing around with but it’s yet to be seen how people like it on jumps. Your weight is fine with the 156 and it’ll be easier than your 158 without sizing down insanely small, so at least you’ll have a more stable size for jumps. I’m a fan of the force bindings, I owned them last year and like them.

I’m around 140, 6 foot 3 with my boots on, size 10 boots. You think this board in 156 will be good for me? I’m determining wether I should buy a package of this board in 156 w/ 09 red union force bindings. I ride basically like jamal, a little bit of everything but going slow and looking for those jumps.

Thanks Jamal for posting that! It was great to email you and stoked you enjoyed your board!

Snowboarding is fun, definitely riding boards that make it more fun are what it’s about.

I finally got a chance to take out my Capita Horrorscope this weekend for some turns. Everything you wrote in your review was spot on. I had to re-educate myself about snowboarding. Some rules that use to apply, don’t apply. Like riding flat. It didn’t squirrely or out of control when I was flat on the base between my feet. It did pretty good riding all mountain but it’s a beast on hills with a lesser grade. It ollies like a pogo stick and presses like an iron. This board has me thinking about snowboarding again and how much fun and happiness it brings to my life.
If you have anymore pointers for me about this board please give me some inside info. I feel like I’m missing something.

You could go either size, i’d say 152cm since you are entirely in the park.

Adam,

What's your weight? Weight determines a lot more in board length than height does.

Hey Shay,
I am 5 foot 11 and want to know if this year’s 152, or next year’s 155 horrorscope would suit me. I spend all my time in the park. What do you think?
