Man, I'm starting to think height makes just as much difference as weight. Lever-age-ish-wise. Dig? I bet that 56 was a party and ultra fun to ride.

I'm advocating for a stiffer Birdman, camber with early rise nose, hybrid BRD-Dynamo-Rig sorta jam.... 159-173 somethin'...Trust the Wizards for good times.

For me, same deck with HP core and maybe just a little more open sidecut. They claim “dreamboard makers”.we’ll see.

I was slated for a C2X skunk this season. I didn't get it in time, then this camber skunk happened. My kid has the C2X skunk but he didn't want to F it up with the low snow this year. Technically, I've never ridden a C2X board, which is really weird, but it never came on anything I wanted or was made for a big kid. Camber boards can be hooky. C2 boards can feel lifeless. I've been told C2X is the magic. I dunno, I might never know. My kid won't let me ride his?

I agree. It rides loose until you ask it to ride long, loaded at speed. At speed it and loaded it's similar. HP is my favorite core so it handles speed without a fuss. It does have a strong/stiffish tail so it does pop pretty good, but it doesn't track like the Dynamo or Titty on flat, it also doesn't load in transitions like the heavy C3's do.

165, 225lbs

Height doesn’t matter for boards! All about weight

​@@j.p.6228 I totally agree, however I am big, Tall, and old. I cannot shred like you, but I can ride ok. I am wanting to get a board, but just do not want something super super long, even though I that is what I should be riding. I am 6' 6" and 255lbs. What would you recommend, I was thinking a169W or 170UW.

ski tracks

yeah, 162 and 167 don’t spec that different, but they are like two different boards. 67 is beast mode.

Agent Orange 👍

best day of the year so far. Doesn't look that that's gonna change.

Tough call. Foot fit in snowboard boots is like a dark art. Feet are all really different to try and fit into any standard snowboard boot. Companies to have tendencies for narrower or wider fits. Then that is all compounded by peoples opinions. As an Example, I'm men's 12 in a vans street shoe, but I wear men's 13 in Vans snowboard boots. That is counter intuitive to what most people will sell you in a store. To your situation, I think a conversation with the folks at intuition would help. There is a method for measuring actual foot length to the inside pf the outer shell of the boot using your fingers behind your heel (How many fingers:) That will give you the first step in procuring the correct liners. I do not promote the wrap liners anymore, for me, but think the standard tongue liners are the wat to go. Good luck.

Thanks so much

yeah, I pulled a muscle in my back that day. Still hurts. totally worth it. pfff...

Montana Snowbowl 🔥

Just checked your first vid. Sick. I don't really pay attention to snowskates. Nobody I know does it around here. Your vid made me want to try a longer ski, badly! So sick, actually looks fun and manageable in terms of steeper slopes and scrubbing speed when you need to. Super rad!

Montana Snowbowl.

Yep, if you look across to the other side of the mountain, that's man made there too. That side is typically how you get down from the top in late spring. They only make snow at the very bottom, which is still almost 5k feet?! This low tide is nuts...

Ha ha,, CD'A, Rad. My daughter was born there. Shit talking is all I got at my age...🤘

I dig C2 skunks, they’re great boards for shitty conditions because they do it all, but they are a champion of none. C2 removes the ability to change the shape of your turns because you can’t twist it enough to overcome the reverse camber. I’d try and ride one first. Also, everyone is trending away from reverse camber. It’s cool for shitty conditions because it rides itself- and uses that one turn it does. I’ll never purposely ride one again except my rock board. It always reminds me how much I like camber. Good luck

Inner shell volume is important. Those new vans shell bottoms are bulletproof and don't have much "collapse" meaning if you don't have enough :"liner volume" to consume inside the shell, the shell might not be able to tighten up enough to get tight. Unfortunately, the trial and error can add up in a hurry. I don't have any solid answers as I'm not an expert, but I can tell you I'm not using the powerwraps anymore. The amount of material over your ankle can't be squished enough by your bindings or BOA's to get a firm ankle hold. I kept smashing my toes until they were black and blue as I couldn't keep my feet/ankles tight enough to keep them from slider forward. No bueno. Good luck.

@@wannagoforarip3131 the new downhill wraps have a lot of volume. Th rep was concerned it maybe too much so I’m thinking maybe that’s the one you should be testing next!

I don't know. They are the standard versions of the pro and power wrap. I'm making an updated vid about liners. I don't think the pro and power wrap liners are going to be right for everyone. If I had to do it again, I use something else. Pro tongue or Tourwraps maybe

@@wannagoforarip3131 I thought the Downhill is their new line I didn’t realize it’s the standard version of the pro wrap.

@@wannagoforarip3131 maybe I’ll try the downhill tongue dual density in 15mm

Yeah, Vans insoles don't work fo me either. I get the idea, but always leaning forward is no bueno. I use a Superfeet Gold/Brown version as my feet are kind of flat. Get the arch support, inner volume of you boot, and the stiffness of the liner all "correct" makes all the difference in the work in terms of foot pain. Dig it.

Rad, Yeah they're super cool. I think everyone should have a mag C2 board in their quiver. Those two thing on one board can turn a shitty day into a good one. They ride themselves, but they have their own agenda. They like a single turn. As long you agree with that turn, you're golden. I'll always have a 161 Skunk in my quiver. 🤘

I've learned a few things since this vid. That said, I don't think the PowerWrap is the best option. OR I might have been advised poorly from the folks at Intuition. I think the foam/stiffness is perfect, however the PowerWrap style of liner might have too much material in front of the ankle, allowing too much squish to keep your toes from finding the ends of your boots even when your BOA's and ankle straps are cranked. This may have been due to the size I used, maybe they were too small? but this is how I was advised from intuition. I am now in a different liner. Admittedly, I was happier in the PowerWraps, but my toenails turned blue and hurt. Dig? I think that Tour style Intuition is the ticket, or just a standard liner with a tounge from Intuition might have better results. Good luck!
