Which would be the best snowboard for me?

Question

I'm 5'5, 145 lbs., size 9 feet and into all mountain boards

with that in mind i was looking up some good boards but cant decide which to buy
they are all in my budget so thats not such a big problem but i need help

the boards that im interested in are:
Ride Antic
Burton Mayhem
K2 Podium
Rome Solution
Nitro Team
Burton Elite

as of right now i really like the rome but let me know why you think one board or the other is better

Answer 1

ok first of all, dont get any of the burtons. burtons arent as good as people say they are. they are just famous and overpriced. I would either get the ride antic or the rome solution

heres some info on them.



Ride Antic: A great all mountain board, and a very stiff flex. It is also pretty lightweight. Despite the thin shape, it s surprisingly strong.





Rome Solution: A very forgiving board with tons of flex in it. It also has a ton of energy return in it when you hit a jump. A great amount of pop as well.





I would get the rome solution

Answer 2

Go with the Rome or the Ride. Nitro is not very good, Burton is overpriced and Overrated, and that particular K2 is err...



BTW Gnu didn't get the tech from LIB, they are both made by Mervin Manufacturing, Though that is a great board.

Answer 3

Have you considered the Gnu CHB MTX? Great board, MTX is supposed to give you excellent traction on all terrains. Gnu got this technology from LIB Tech which is supposed to be the industry leader in snowboarding innovation. I was gonna get this, but the graphics just doesn't work for me as I was trying to avoid cartoony appreciate a more subtle look.
