Is it too advanced for me?

Question

I've been snowboarding for a total of about 3 weeks and I'd say I'm intermediate. Turning feels natural and I can do a few basic tricks like ollies, 180s and butters etc. I want a board I can really progress on because I want to become a rep for about 10 weeks and think I can get much better in this time.

Is the Burton Feelgood ES with Escapade EST bindings too advanced for me? I want to get the best I can afford and no other boards I've seen compare. Will cope riding it or will I find it difficult to tame? I've only ridden rentals before.

Answer 1

ive been to the burton flagship store in burlington vermont and talked to one of the workers there about the boards. im a beginner rider and i liked the graphics on the Feelgod ES so i asked about this one and she said that it was a pretty advanced board and pretty stiff and not too forgiving. seems like its more for pow definitly not park

hope this helps

have fun riding!

Answer 2

Carissa if you are intent on becoming a rep your board will not matter...its all a mindset...

However, the Burton Feelgood ES is gonna be a great board for you, if you want to not ride a Burton and stick out a little in the crowd, take a look at the Womens Arbor Push.... a truly sick deck made with bamboo...progression will come with experience and experience is gained by riding so good luck!!
