Gary, what’s your girlfriend’s ability level and riding style?

Hi,

I’m looking at the Feelgood V-Rocker for my girlfriend. She’s 5’1″, 117lbs., and wears a size 6 boot. Should I go with the 149 or a size smaller?

I ride park ALL the time, but like I think that even if I get something like the technine dime, I’ll probably be able to ride it fine in backcountry and stuff… maybe haha. Also another board I’m looking at is the endeavor boyfriend. Ahh.. I can’t decide, thanks so much for responding though 😀

Annie, Well sweet on the upgrade to a new board! Definitely heard of where you ride! Both boards are directional, the feelgood is more mountain in my opinion and the dime I haven’t ridden but looks more freestyle. Do you want a board for more straight up park riding or something that can do it all?

Hey Shay!
I’m an intermediate snowboarder, and my old snowboard is done for. I live in an area that has a small snowboarding/skiing hill, with a huge park. It’s call C.O.P if you’ve ever heard of it haha. Anyway, my friends and I go there after school almost everyday in the winter time and hit jumps, rails, boxes, and as time goes on we keep trying new things; but on weekends we always go up to the mountains and ride all the runs, but we always end up hitting park for about 3 hours each time haha.

So I was wondering which board would be best for me?
I’m trying to decided between the Burton Feelgood V-Rocker, and the Technine Dime.
Also, if you have any other suggestions for me I’d appreciate it. Thanks so much!

Oh by the way, I’m 5’1 weigh 116 pounds and I’m looking for anything, don’t care much for price.

Angel, great you were able to demo the board already. The size difference will make it less turn-y but might be be as fun in the bumps. Are you able to demo the bigger size, that might help you decide better.

Brandi, Awesome on getting into boarding! Between the feelgood and infinity, you are getting two solid snowboards. The feelgood you already love and enjoy so that’s the safe bet. I’d say get that and keep enjoying the above, then demo the infinity later on to see how you like it in comparison. it’s a good board but you already know you love the feelgood.

Rosie, Awesome on the feelgood! Definitely excited to hear how you like it, it’s always nervewracking when you buy something and first take it to snow. I think you’ll find the 144 really playful and easy to ride, way easier than your nitro.

Hi Shay,

I went ahead and purchased the Feelgood V-Rocker last week. I am super excited to go out and ride. But I tend to keep researching and second guessing myself. I am 5’4″ and 125lbs. I was riding a 2003 Nitro Glide 147. The board is super stiff and I was finding myself lacking responsiveness to turns. I went ahead and bought the v-rocker 144 thinking that I’d really enjoy playing with it on the side of the mountains and taking it through the trees. I ride mostly in the northeast where the trails are icy/groomed. Am I crazy for second guessing myself? I didn’t want to go for a bigger board then the one I already have which is why I went for the 144.

I’m new to boarding and trying to pick a good board to get started. I have rented the feelgood 154 and found it to be an amazing ride. However I have read such great things about the neversummer infitiy-r that I keep wondering if I should consider buying it instead. Turning and control are still a challenge for me, I found it to be much easier on the feelgood than anything else I’ve tried. The ride was smooth and easy. If I buy the infinity instead of the feelgood it would be without ever trying it, well it makes me nervous. I like your comment above about stability on the infinity.

Hi Shay:
Thanks for the detail review. I can’t decide if I should get V-rocker 151 or 154. I’m 5’5″ and 130lb. Currently I ride Troop 151 and also have a Ride Kashmir 153 (I like stiffness for response). I did demo a Feelgood v-rocker 151. Fun on bumps, but a little too “turn-y” for my liking. I am considering 154, but afraid that it might take the fun out of going to steep bump runs. Any advise?

Kay,
Awesome you are considering the Feelgood V-rocker. Size depends on what you want to do with the board, are you looking for more stable, freeriding or more playful park? Even if you size up, you are still good with your weight for the 148.
