Forum Manual Chillydog 2010 Snowboard

[RapidianSnow]

which board would you guys recomend . the burton whammy bar this board or the forum young blood... btw i mainly ride the park

[thehouseboardshop]

@RapidianSnow I would go with the 2012 Whammy Bar with some EST binding

[RapidianSnow]

@thehouseboardshop i think imma go with the manual and i just got new union bindings and the manual is cheaper but thanks for the help, i really like the videos you guys put out

[thehouseboardshop]

@RapidianSnow Thanks. The two are very similar board and Union bindings are great! I have been using the same pair for 4 years now. Have a great season!

I have size 11 boots, could I get away with using this board, or should I go with a wide?

[thehouseboardshop]

@CeejMeister45 You could get away with riding on a standard width board. what size are you looking at getting?

[CeejMeister45]

@thehouseboardshop I was thinking about getting the 156, but since I ride everything I'm worried about toe drag.

[thehouseboardshop]

@CeejMeister45 your going to have a little over hang, its just part of the game. Personally I ride wide boards because i have a 12.5 boots i always have overhang but last year i switched to boots with Shrinkage™ Footprint Reduction Technology and wow what a difference. I still have over hang, but nowhere near as much.

[buritosam]

hey, what size should I get if I am 5'7 135 pounds, and a 10.5 boot?

[KHSBikesCo]

I've commented on a lot of your vids so I'm sorry about that but this board looks a lot nicer then what you recommended to me. (forum manual/forum contract) I know I'm 147 board height but would this give good pop for spins and big jumps rails boxes stairs?

[thehouseboardshop]

@KHSBikesCo No worries man, it's all good. Which board did I recommend first, the Contract? The Manual and Contract are pretty much the same quality, they were just built specifically for different riding styles. The big differences are the profile, core, laminates and base. The Contract has Pop Camber, a Bad Ass Core, Bad Ass Glass and a 0-60 base which is all constructed for the needs of urban riding. The Manual might be better for what you want. It was meant for more resort park riding.

[KHSBikesCo]

@thehouseboardshop okay thank you is it possible I could find this board in canada? if not im ordering it does it come in 147?

[thehouseboardshop]

@KHSBikesCo Same story as the Nike boots. Go to the Forum web site check out the board click on Buy It and you will be able to find if there are any shops near you. And yes, it comes in a 147. Have fun!

[julian3717]

Hey, I'm planning to buy this board (the new 2011 one), but I don't really know what size. I'm 5'12" tall and weigh 157 lbs... I'm not growing anymore, but my weight will most probably increase... Should I get a 153 or 156?

[thehouseboardshop]

@julian3717 5 feet 12 inches? So you're 6 feet tall? Haha, jus' playin'. But yeah, go with the 156, it's a perfect size for you. And the Manual is great board you're for sure going to have a lot of fun on it this season.

[crazysteezy]

is this board sick for pressing and jibs? how soft is it from 1 to 10

[thehouseboardshop]

@crazysteezy Yup, you'll love it for that. Twin shape and a 3 flex. Doesn't really get a whole lot more park than that.

[MegaSnowgreen]

how much does this board cost if i order it from the dealer ship

[thehouseboardshop]

@MegaSnowgreen From us it costs $319.99

[larsentunes4]

flex?

[thehouseboardshop]

@larsentunes4 3

[TGMONEYproductions]

i usually ride 154 but since they forum only makes this board in 153 do you think that will be ok? and also my shoe size is 10.5 do i need a large or medium size bindings? thanx!

[thehouseboardshop]

@TGMONEYproductions For sure, one cm won't make that much difference, and get the larges.

[snowboardr323]

can you imagine if forum made a chillydog with the old manual? (the 2009 model) that would be the greatest board of all time!

[wgfootball3]

what snowboard has the softest flex ?

[thehouseboardshop]

@wgfootball3 Rome Artifact or Signal Park Series.

[loomin94]

which one is better for some powder riding: the manual or the manual chillydog?

most of the time i ride the park (mostly smaller jumps and some rails/boxes) and piste...

thank you for your answer.

[thehouseboardshop]

@loomin94 Do the Chillydog for sure!

[SonnyTurbo]

5'71 , 152lbs , 11 boot

would that work on the 150? cause i prefer a smaller board..

[thehouseboardshop]

You would have to rock a wide stance with pretty aggressive duck angles to make that boot size work.

[SonnyTurbo]

@thehouseboardshop

I would probably put it on widest stand, and 12-12 angle

[thehouseboardshop]

153

[oshposh88]

which ones better for park manuel, manuel chilly dog, or nitro haze

[thehouseboardshop]

They are all very good similar boards. I wouldn't say one is better than the next.

[oshposh88]

good for bigger jumps also? and carving

[thehouseboardshop]

Look at the Youngblood or Destroyer.

[ForumSnowboarding17]

i plan on getting a board next year, preferably a forum board that is very flexible. When i looked at flex and some say softer flex to stiffer flex. is stiffer flex more flexible, or is softer flex more flexible?

[thehouseboardshop]

Softer is more flexible.

[NomisT9]

super sick flex
