Sierrascope size advice

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   I am a returning rider from 20 years ago that can shred my burton clash, and am now hitting boxes and rails and lovin' it. Being from Michigan the park is great because the hills are small. I am thinking about pulling the trigger on a Sierrascope fk. I want to run union contacts. I am typically on groomers, boxes, rails, and attempting small jumps. I love my 155, if I was to get an indoor fk I would probably get a 154. I am 155-160lbs 5,10" Would the 156 be to big to learn how to press on and would the 152 be to small to go down steep groomers. I know the difference is small but this is a big purchase and I want to get it right. Could someone with experience give me some advice. I know the advice is subjective and either board would be fine.

	honestly i think you will be ok on either really. just if you want to have it a little easier for rails do the 52. if you want a tab bit more stable, go with the 156. i ride the 152.. im 160lbs and 5'7'' (little fatty i know) i ride it everywhere and have no problem keeping up with people on other boards. I also took it up in 12 inch of pow and didn't have any problem keeping up with people on their pow boards. Be bold.. go with the 52 you won't be disappointed.
