@snwaddicted those are all great bindings. You should check the Union bindings too. The Force and Flite are great.

This board rides longer tho I thought. Is that true and if so by how much would you say?

[tilleybrdr90]

Hey i'm thinking of getting this board but I'm not sure what size to get. I'm 5'7" and 140 pounds. I like playing in the park and doing butters on the mountain but also spend a good amount of time in the pow. would you recommend the 150 or 153?

[tacticsboardshop]

@tilleybrdr90 well, for butters and the park, the 150 would be best. If you're riding more pow, get the 153. I guess it all depends on which riding style you think you'll do more of.

Hey next season im probably getting this or the capita ultrafear. My riding style is 75% jibbing 25% medium sized jumps, which one would you reccomend? Thanks!

[tacticsboardshop]

@acownz2 I would recommend this one. I love the Ultrafear and rode it a lot earlier this season but its just a little too soft for jumps in my opinion. The pickle is a more well rounded board.

@tacticsboardshop K thanks a bunch

I'm 5 foot 6 and looking for a park board what size should i get?

[usar78]

hows flex? is it still on softer side so i can press it worund? or is it on stiffer side?

[tacticsboardshop]

@usar78 Its definitely one of Mervin's softest boards but i would still give it like a 3 out of 10 on flex because Mervin just makes their boards stiffer than most where as something like the solamonder or capita horrorscope i would give a 1. It will break in a little tho.

[usar78]

@tacticsboardshop awesome!! thanks for the answer. i loved how u compared it with other boards, n gave it ur own flex scale. it was easier for me to understand n it totally made sense. u guys r great!

[marceufilho]

@tacticsboardshop Thanks for explain. For riding pipe, jumps and rails, would you choose the Capita indoor survival vs the gnu park pickle?

Thank you!!

[tacticsboardshop]

@marceufilho I would go with the indoor survival. The flat kick base is just a little better on bigger jumps and pipe. But the Pickle is still great from smaller jumps, powder, and jibbing.

[marceufilho]

@tacticsboardshop Yes, the indoor surv. is the best board I ever ride. I asked the question because I never tried the park pickle. But ill definitly buy the indoor. Tks a lot!!
