2009 K2 TURBO DREAM REVIEW

[conarmyers]

I have this board i shred the park to the trees, this board stops at nothing, i go higher and bigger ever since i strapped onto this piece of magic, so light and agile and fast in the trees. i ride the 156 and i weigh 175 and i'm 6"1. i had the burton cartels and hated them because they were to soft in the back plate, and the board is soft so two soft's don't make a right, the best way to go for bindings with this slice of heaven is the k2 formula.

hay im wear a size 11.5 and im 5'8 whats sizw bored should i get ?

[conarmyers]

@SuperFranklin1234567 all depends on your weight, but this board is AMAZING ive tried lots of different park boards, and non of them compared to this board, even though its a all mt board

[LPZKproductions]

any brand of bindings work... there all good.... get a newer year though because they have a lot better technoligy for the newer ones... all off the newer ones are good...

[bobbocesu19]

i want to get this board for my 18th. What bindings go well with it? does anyone have any suggestions

[PortersLars]

the K2 Auto or the Burton Cartels aren't a bad option.

[joekuta]

TylereB it doesn't matter what you get

i'd suggest trying reverse camber so u can get a feel for the flex

get something soft for tricks,

but really it doesn't matter till u try it anyway so buy it

Internet will not give you Snowboard experience

[ijustategoldfish]

awesome, thanks for the help.

[ijustategoldfish]

What size would you suggest for 5' 7" 145 size 9.5 boots?

[PortersLars]

you could buy the 156 or the 159 and it really depends on what you want to ride it on will determine what size you might want... if you want a possible parkish board then the 156 if you want an all mountain killer then the 159

[joekuta]

even 156 is a bit large for the park........i ride a 148

10lbs less, 2" more size 9 boot

[vinceyuen88]

dang i wish it came smaller!

[TylereB]

Is it hard to get used to the reverse camber when turning?

[PortersLars]

just a different way of turning the snowboard, like I said reverse camber you ride more centered and cannot drive your weight downhill towards the nose as much... if you want a board that will perform in technical lines then I would strongly suggest a cambered board over a reverse camber

[TylereB]

Cool so faster turns on the Zep. Tubo D is better in the pow, but both are good at that. Seems like Turbo D is better for jumping. Zep might be better in the back country making those big turns. If you could choose what would you ride between these two boards? I ride a lot of big mountain stuff in Colorado, Park City, and Tahoe.

[TylereB]

Right but both are freeride all mountain freestyle boards. How will they ride different and in what conditions do they both excell? What is a better board the Zepplin or the Turbo Dream rocker?

[PortersLars]

these boards are apple and oranges... you ride reverse camber more towards the center of the board while traditional camber you dive harder towards the nose to initiate your turn. The reverse camber will help keep the nose up in pow and crud but you loose the ability to pop out of a turn as you would in a cambered board by allow the tail of the board to rebound out of a turn.

[TylereB]

How does this differ from the Zepplin? Details please. Which is better?

[PortersLars]

for starter the zepplin is a regular camber board and the Turbo dream is a reverse camber board.

The Zepplin has a wh4 core the Turbo dream has the WH3 core Different glass, and torsion forks. The main difference is camber vs reverse camber

[1ly]

just bought it for 265€ sale,cantt wait to "rock"er it, gotta be awsome

[ThatIsGoodOJ]

Does anyone know if this board comes in a 144 0r 145? 146? God I want this board.

[PortersLars]

sorry the smallest this came in is a 156

[YingYangCrew]

i got a K2 Fuse is it good ?

[PortersLars]

that must be an older board b/c its not in this years line-up or else you bought it at a big box store and that usually is a very low end board no matter what they try and make you believe.

[jrsped2005]

k2 and burton rock!

[clajam09]

sorry i dont know if my comments are posting

[ggghockey]

5 "10 200lb would this be a good board for me i am not really good in the park but im gonna start would this be a good bored to use?

[PortersLars]

You might be better off getting a K2 Anagram if you are just getting into park. and depending on your shoe size you could use most of the sizes except for the 147.

[ggghockey]

i am shoe size like 12 i donno if it is the same for snowboarding so i donno

[PortersLars]

if you have a shoe size of 12 you might want to look for a mid wide or a wide so those toes don't drag.

[ggghockey]

i have a salomon ace is that a good board for parks?

[PortersLars]

thats an all around board so might not be the best for park.

[ggghockey]

does anagram go midwide or wide?

[PortersLars]

no, sorry, but you might be good on a Forum Recon ... that comes in a wide.

[JTJG94]

yeah they do, i have one.

[conarmyers]

@JTJG94 all depends on your weight, but this board is AMAZING ive tryed lots of different park boards, and non of them compared to this board, e

[ggghockey]

is a burton twin good?

[PortersLars]

yes the burton twin is a very good park board. but you really need to look for a wide/mid wide with the size guns you have.

[Ceckian]

haha, i'm not too sure, but i think he was referring to the camera lens?

[PortersLars]

damn it your right... must have been asleep at the wheel on that one... we use a standard fish eye for almost all of our videos.

[Phelixdacatz]

what type of lens are you using?

[PortersLars]

That was Chris Bosco Riding, one of our team riders and he is hooked up with Spy goggles, but I am not too sure what Lens or frame he was rocking.
