What type of snowboard should I get if I like to ride in the park and in trees?

Question

I'm female rider

Answer 1

Check out the Rome Detail

thats what i ride, i'm a girl 5'1 and i ride all park, its an awesome flexy board, and would work just fine for some trail riding for tree's. its a twin board so you can ride it regular and switch and not notice a thing.

its perfect for what you are looking for, i gaurentee you wont be dissapointed, check it out.

Answer 2

The difference between a true twin and a directional twin is in the flex.  They both are shaped the same, the nose and tip are the same, but a true twin has the same flex in the nose and tip, while a directional twin has a stiffer tail and a softer nose.  

Some good boards to check out include the Burton Gtwin and the Rome Vinyl.  

If you are really throwing down 360s, you may be good enough to look at some guy boards too.  I ride a Gnu Rider's Choice and I looooovvvvveeee it!  Guys boards are wider and stiffer then girls boards, which makes for a more stable ride at high speeds, but is harder to control.

Answer 5

Well with the details you have provided it seems like you have a lot of choices. One of my favorite female boards for this style of riding is the Option Echo. It is a directional twin shape, so it will ride switch great and still kill it through the trees.  The flex is perfect for learning how to kill the boxes and rails and it still has plenty of pop for those booters.

The Palmer Halo is another great one that serves the same general purpose: http://www.sierrasnowboard.com/Palmer-Ha... If you are looking for something a little softer and more geared for the rails and jibs you should check out the Flow Myriad: http://www.sierrasnowboard.com/2008-Flow... Hopefully that helps you out!!
