Anyone use a Ride board? Whats the verdict on them? I have my eye on one and was looking for opinions about them compared with the other big-brand boards.

Dude, i bought a DH at the tail end of last season after borrowing a mates old one for a few weeks. Love it. Flex and poppy, super fun. If you push it you can still get some pretty good board performance out of it as well, during high speed carves and such.

Cant speak of any others, as i have only ridden DH's and DH FC's.

Hope this helps.

Burton T6 156 (05/06) and a Ride DH 151 (07/08)

Will get a third board this season, maybe a salomon acid. Something really playful.

Old boards:

Ride DH 155 (06/07) knackered rock board when given to me, but some much fun.

Salomon Substance 151 (old) my first board.

How about yourself tsondaboy?

you gonna be in Niseko this season tsondaboy? I would give my right arm (and i'm right handed) to ride a swallow-tail prior again. I can get them heavily discounted through my CASI pro-deal, but they will only ship to canada, so i'm picking one up in May.

Are you canadian? As prior aren't big anywhere i've seen other than western canada.
