How heavy is your board?

nobody cares? Sure... For what it is worth, the breakdown on my old board was about 8 pounds for the board and 3 to 4 pounds for the bindings. I just moved to a 157 Palmer Classic, which comes in at a pleasant 6 pounds... These weights are only as accurate as our cheap scale can be.

My board and bindings is just about 10 pounds and with boots it's about 14.5 pounds. I can't be sure just how accurate these weigh ins are because this is on a pretty old bathroom scale. lol. I'd probably say its + or - 0.5 lbs.

Originally posted by EazyKeel our names are too similar (E's and Z's) people will think we ar the same person :) 10 lbs should be just about what my new setup comes in as. I will weigh my boots and throw that in too.

Hey you never posted up what boots you're using with your new setup and how much they weigh.

so does a lighter board make it easier to use??? or just easier to lug up a hill?

Lighter board is more control and it doesn't tired you out as much. Problem is most light boards chatter at high speeds cause they have a lot of flex.

boards (and everything else) are light as a standard these days.  people tend to worry way too much about weight, and in reality, it varies so little that its basically never going to matter.  you can barely tell while riding (or even just lifting your gear up for that matter).

i'm not sure how it is overall, but my old board was like a tank & was pretty heavy. i did notice my new board is lighter and makes a diff for riding up the chair lift and lugging around but haven't really noticed a diff the weight makes while riding, but the boards are so diff on other aspects who knows what is from weight or from other tech. i think you'd have to compare boards that are pretty much exactly the same except for weight to see if there is a difference

I think that it mostly effects spinning, lighter=faster rotation.  Now are you really going to notice 4 ounces, I think not.  But hey whatevers, people love gimmicks and propaganda.

my 156 board bindings and boots are about 12-13 pounds all together by my bathroom scales :)

Artec Gabe Taylor-6 pounds woot!

ya 12 sounds a lil heavy, and yes it would make a difference, everything they make gets lighter, specially bindings, I wouldn't be too worried about it but you would notice a difference if you had a drop in weight

what size traids? any die cuts or stomp pads??

I just weighed my board and it weighs 8 pounds i think?? maybe 9. but we'll go with eight. I'm riding a capita stairmaster, and burton customs. shiz ya.

yeah, whether weight matters is going to depend on the rider and the type of riding.

like pickles said, she's not digging the weight of her set-up.  At 92 pounds and questionable muscle, 11+ pounds is probably difficult to throw around

it makes sense that if you're into flatland tricks and mini-shred, lightweight is probably more desirable than if you bomb vert and hit big booters

(...I'll weigh/post when I pull all my stuff out of storage)
