Snowboard equip?

Question

ok im just checkin to see if this is a good combo to buy, give suggestions if you want:

im 5.3, 100 lbs and 13 yrs old.:

-morrow peak 146 (right size for park/freestlye?)

OR a Ride team micron 142 (too small?)

-burton custom bindings:M

-burton moto boots size: 9/9.5

im sure about gettin the burton customs and motos but im not sure about the board. i tried out a 140 cm board, and it was decent i guess, but im not sure.

thanks for the help

Answer 1

First, for the bindings and boots. Burton Customs are very soft bindings, where as the missions are stiffer and more responsive. The customs are going to be better for jibbing and tweakability, and will also be more forgiving on landings, however, I would suggest the missions over customs if you don't do a ton of jibbing, and you stray away from the park. Boot wise, either of those would be a decent choice, but I'd go with the rulers over the motos. Though honestly I'd prefer to stay away from the speedzone lacing and go with traditional laces, but if you like the speedzones, they'll do fine.

Board wise, a 146 might be a bit large if your riding freestyle, and a 140-142 might suit you better, however considering you are 13, I'm sure you'll grow into the 146 in no time. I would personally stay away from morrow products as well, look into some Gnu, Nitro and Ride boards, both are good brands, and off the top of my head they make some boards that suit what you are looking for.

Answer 2

I have Burton Bindings and Motos I really like them and the comfort. Good board. I would go bigger... you are going to grow into the board. Investing a lot of money and then growing out of it will be a waste of cash.

Answer 3

the boots and bindings are good can't go wrong with burton but i would invest in a better and bigger board morrow  isn't the greatest brand
