Hey Shay,

I’ve been thinking of switching from a burton board for a while now, and I’m pretty set on getting the Rider’s Choice. I’m about 5’7 and 145 lbs, and I’m debating between the 151.5 and the 154.5. I used to due mostly park but I’m starting to do 3’s off of 15-20 foot jumps, so I want a board that could handle. Is a 151.5 too small? (I ride a 152 Hero right now)

Also, what bindings do you recommend with the RC?

Thanks,
Jeff

Angela,

I haven’t ridden the 2011-2012, because I’m a nobody, but I do know that the new model will have asymmetrical heel and toe side, similar to the Park Pickle, which is pretty neat.

Paul, the riders choice is definitely the board for an aggressive rider and will handle the jumps (definitely stiffer for the rails though). I think you could handle either size but probably the 154.5 would suit your more park style better and still be as capable without being on the bigger size.

Alex, what’s your weight?

Hello Shay.

I’m riding 60/40 mountains(inc hardpack)/park. My boot size is 295. I’m linking turns(learning aggressive carving), riding switch, learning butters, frontside/backside 180.
Thought if I even take 158w?

Thank you so much for the advise.

pretty keen on this board. Im an all mountain freestyle type guy who hits the park on firm days, on kickers mainly just the dd rail here and there.

I just cant decide on the size. Was looking for a 156 and of course this sits right in the middle of the 154.5 and 157.5.

I am 177cm tall (just a tad under 5’10) and weigh 170. Boot size is a burton 9.5

Can you pls suggest a size?

Alex,
What type of conditions do you ride, boot size and skill level. Are you linking turns, riding blues comfortably?

Hi there.

I’m 6,1 and 200 lbs so just hesitating between 162w and 166w. Could you please advise keeping in mind that I’m trying to get universal intermediate deck after my 1st season that will help me to progress.

Thanks in advance.
