Dan- Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 Custom. Everything I've heard about the seven is bad. I rode a custom for awhile. Liked it a lot. Quote

Mixilplix Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 I have a Custom 158 and liked it a lot(it was not the wide model)pretty much got me through everything.Never rode a 7 Quote
TT C6 Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 I hope you're a heavy fellow. I'm 190lbs and rocked a 160 Custom with no problems. Quote
Dan- Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 I hope you're a heavy fellow. I'm gonna be rolling around on a 168 rockered beast this year. I'm 150lbs. Quote
ectobar Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 I'm gonna be rolling around on a 168 rockered beast this year. I'm 150lbs. Why? I rode a rockered 157 last year. I'm about 175lbs. It was awesome for sure, but I think it was a bit much. Prob going to go back down to 154 this year. Quote

Prob going to go back down to 154 this year. For shits and giggles. I rode a 162 rockered rome notch last year for awhile until i broke it in Utah, and i my everyday board was a 157 GNU riders choice. Big boards are fun as hell to ride. Quote

They same the same thing about big women and mopeds... but you won't find me on either! ZING Quote
Tyler Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 im not much of a burton fan, but for what its worth i've never heard positive about the Se7en, but i've heard a lot of good things about the custom. and just to follow the thread im 170 and ride a 155 Quote
TT C6 Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 I agree that the custom is a good choice. For shits and giggles. I rode a 162 rockered rome notch last year for awhile until i broke it in Utah, and i my everyday board was a 157 GNU riders choice. Big boards are fun as hell to ride. I like riding a big board. They are fast and give me a lot of confidence on bigger jumps. Quote

Prob going to go back down to 154 this year. Rockered boards already ride way shorter then they are, and you think a 157 was to much? Riding a 154 is going to be like riding a 150 straight midget status. I agree that the custom is a good choice. I like riding a big board. They are fast and give me a lot of confidence on bigger jumps. Exactly, fast and stable is kind of what i was getting at. Especially when your trying to keep up with skiers riding sticks 20-30cm's larger then your board. Quote

Especially when your trying to keep up with skiers riding sticks 20-30cm's larger then your board. I'll prob still use the 157 for cruising around and when traveling up north. But in the pokies I spend a good amount of time 'attempting' to hit some rails, and those couple extra cm's are really noticeable. Quote

ectobar Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 I guess I pry shouldn't quote myself, but I just read: "those couple extra cm's are really noticeable" and thought "thats what she said" Quote

Timeless Posted October 6, 2009 Report Posted October 6, 2009 (edited) It's all about girth, not length. Well mine's about 24cm wide between my feet...... to add to the original post, Sierra snowboards have some great deals on last years custom and custom x, not to mention a whole load of other brands.
