hey man was wondering if you could tell me how tall/heavy you are and if you felt the 155 was a good length/flex for you.

thanks, lachlan

Bought the 159, had it sitting in my room for at least a week before I could take it out. Switched from a 2007 Ride Crush 156. What a world of difference.

This board MURDERED IT. So sick. The edge holds like super glue, nothing like the old whip. Could trust it to take me left or right without hesitation. Point it forward and set it off, no chatter or noise, just silky-smooth responsive action. Sick pop to it, giving almost the perfect amount of kick when ollying little rollers.

It was so much fun. Had a coat of sub-zero wax thrown on for the conditions today too, absolutely sick. Was riding and in my head thinking “QUIVER KILLER” and totally relating to the concept behind the name. It kills anything, you can trust it to represent your steez and that’s it. Roll out the mentality.

I am about 6’1&1/2″ and weigh 205lb. This board sounds like something I would like because I like doing a little bit of everything while at the slopes. Just wondering if a 159cm or 161cm would be better for me. Oh, and my shoe size is 12. I currently have been riding a 55cm Sims Kinetic Series from like 2005 or something(not quite sure its year). I was a little shorter when I got it but have been riding it until now, and I want a buy a new board. Any suggestions on sizing for me? (I do have to say I like the blue graphics better)

Cliff
I had a 57 and I live in Michigan. Ice and man made galore there and it was a ton of fun. I also had a 59 BDST ( comparable board) and they both worked fine. I could rip trenches if I wanted and go hit the park and pipe with either. The other thing is I’m pretty much the same size as you sooooooo, I can relate. Make a choice and have some fun. 🙂

Hey Ciff,

2cm isn’t much of a difference you could go either way. I think you’ll find the 157 suitable enough for your conditions but if you want longer, go longer.

Hey,

I’ve been trying to decide if I should get a 159 or a 157 quiver killer. I am 6′ and weight 185lbs. I do most my riding in Ontario sadly so it’s pretty dinky hills for the most part with minimal powder. I want to be able to rip up the park in the morning and kill the glades in the afternoon. Do I get a 157 to maximize play, flex and manouverability or is it just alittle to small and I will still get all that play i need out of a 159 while having more edge hold for better free riding?

Thanks dude.

Thanks Lee, awesome your uncle is loving his.

Yuma, that’s my mistake I only meant to put flex. The setback is .5 and the radial sidecut is directional. Thanks excited for summer myself!

Shay,

I heard the board is a twin-shape but just has a longer nose. How much is it set-back?

Congrats on your new job, hope you have a great time at windels this summer!!

Regards,

yuma

Good review. You hit on all the points that I like about this board. Such a fun ride. Amazing no matter what terrain you ride it on. I would like to see it with a faster base but that’s really no issue.
My uncle is riding mine now and its his first board after learning on rentals. He loves it.
