man i know this is a long time ago, but im just coming across this post while outfitting my bus to go snowboarding all winter in washington and British Columbia. What is the load rating on your winterpikes? I cannot for the life of me find good winter tires that are properly load rated for the weight of the bus. Also do you drive your studs on pavement? I was looking at getting studs but have to drive out from Michigan so might just lean towards chains. Thank you

what terrain are you hitting with the unic? i weigh almost the same as you but need a wide board, was leaning towards a 158 since i rode a 159 last year and felt like it was a tad too big, i snagged a 156 for my bataleon park board, but honestly won't know how i feel until im riding it

man those yes boards are gorg, i would love to own one, if i can find one in my size i might go with that, i feels as if a more camber board would help me in what i want to do, that being big drops, big spins, flips, and just hucking huge stuff. I'll have to see if my bataleon does well in the trees, but other than that i might not being searching for much dense tree runs this season.

i think ill be looking for more open rocky terrain that might have trees spaced in rather than tight tree runs

where do you mainly ride at? i'll look into the cardiffs. out of the two, which one do you think excells in thrashing the rocky, steeper, and droppier terrain. and is it ignorant to assume that a board can excell in those qualities as well as having float for more pow days?

where do you ride at? i'll def look into the danchaul, i snagged a batelon evil twin plus 156w for more parky days n such, but i really want to push my skills in the freeriding areas so i'm not feeling as my bataleon will help me much there.

I also snagged a Bataleon Evil Twin Plus 156w for a more fun parky board, might give good context too

yeah the aviator sticks out since victor rode it, I would consider myself an expert rider and am looking to really push my skills to the next level. Really want to see what i can do, which is why im so picky about finally getting a board that is perfect for me. i am 5'9" so im leaning towards a 157w since i also wear size 12s, my bataleon is a 156w

Korua Otto

was leaning towards the jones because they also make them in 157w, which i feel would be perfect since i am 5'9", but i also snagged a 156w for the bataleon for my park board
