Welcome!

 

Get a ride and meet him! Then test out your 4WD in the snow That first ride in a heavy snow storm will make you love your truck

 

I ride a 151, which is actually short. But I like it that way as I do a lot of tree runs and it's a lot lighter/easier to maneuver.

 

I'm 5'6"~.. What is a good board length for that?

 

Probably around 156. http://www.frostyrider.com/tips/size-guide.htm

 

I would guess 145 or less. I ride a 157 but i am 5"11" and i like my boards a little longer and stiffer cuz i dont do much park riding. I like to bomb hills

 

Well really depends on your style. I was always told the board should be between your chin and nose, but that has always seemed to long for me.

 

I'd probably go 150. I just do trail riding. Slow to moderate and almost never do park

 

Welcome! Hide your wallet lol.

 

Ill see if i can get any deals on something around that size. I think his decks at $300 are a bargain, but he might be able to hook it up with one from last season or something.

 

So with all this ski/ snowboarding talk, I gotta say this. I tried last year to ski. Now if you wanna laugh your ass off, you gotta see a big guy like myself try it haha. I was not meant for this kind of sport. Went on a little kids hill, I fell right away and almost broke my nose. Went again and fell on my ass. I was gonna get the hang of this so I tried it again and did a split and said some not so nice words and walked home funny lol. Guess I wasn't meant to ski. I'll stick to my snow tubing lol.

 

Lol big guys can ski, they just suck at falling

 

ROFL.

 

That's true lol. You would think the extra padding I have would help me when I fall but it just makes it worse and it hurts haha

 

Dude I'll take one from 3 years ago! As long as it goes down hill comfortably, I couldn't care less!

 

Take a class, it might help

 

Yeah I should. I wanna take a class this year. I love the snow. Wish It was winter all the time

 

I second that

 

I'm gonna say my tires should be fine for winter. Two wheeled around the un-plowed city with an empty bed and quarter of a tank.

 

that is the one..thanks Sloth
