I bought a 5150 Dealer Snowboard with the 5150 FF3000 bindings. How will the board hold up in the park?

Question

I am not a beginner but this is my first board. I bought the Dealer 157cm and am 6'0" and about 185. I can hit the jumps pretty well and love the boxes and getting used to the rails. Will this board last for awhile? Is it a good fit? What boots do you recommend?

Answer 1

5150 is not the greatest quality ride money can buy but don't sweat.  I think the size is fine... a few centimeters won't make a huge difference anyways... it's about stance and what your abilities are.  How long it lasts depends on how hard and how much you shred.  I would ride it for a couple years then upgrade.  As for boots go for a flexible boot with lots of heel hold.  My faves are Burton or DC.
