Youngblood Snowboard

The Forum Youngblood Snowboard is a menace in the terrain park. If you live for park kickers and ultra-long butter boxes, this is definitely the sled for you. This freestyle board's medium flex and twintip shape let you slay the sickest features in the park without bucking you off the rails. Forum gave the Youngblood a durable P-Tex 4400 base for big jumps and pipe runs.

Bottom Line: Show the gapers what some real park flow looks like.

For you a 152 is going to be on the longer side of the spectrum. You could go anywhere from a 148-154 and probably be ok.
A couple things to keep in mind though. The longer the board is the tougher it's going to be to control and manuever. So if you're a beginner you may want to look into something shorter.
A longer board is going to get you higher speeds and will be better in powder.
If you are still growing, like in middle school or high school and think you have a ways to go, then I would say it wouldn't be a bad idea at all to get the 152. Because if it's a little long this year, it'll be perfect for you next year.
Overall, you'll probably be ok in a 152, especially if this is the best deal you can find. The only thing I'd be worried about it is maybe being a tad too long for you. But like I said, if you're still growing, you should be ok for sure.

Here, yes. It's all they have in stock. But if you're asking if Forum only makes this board in a size 152, then no. They have a variety of sizes for this board.

i just like to say first of all this board has been nothing but good to me for the 3 months i have had it but i would also like to say i have unfortunately broke it on the tail it is delaminating on the nose a little bit and i hit a little rock and bent the edge in and had to get it fixed lol but i could not get over the feel of this board after all that its amazing how it handles and feels flex is perfect plenty of pop over all pretty fast so i give it a 3/5 for lack of reliability

If you are anywhere near a mountain, you need edges to be able to turn. If you are strictly street, you could get away with it. The Youngblood is a full wrap edged board.

Color ways are dooooooope. As long as its not black, the color reflects into the snow and looks like you have neon lights under your board. Good flex, Good pop. Rode the 154 and am awaiting my 155 wide in the mail. For this price anyone looking at this board should jump.

go for it this board is great in many ways and if you get the right size along with the right set of bindings to combo with it then id say your set for the season and many to come.

If you are planning to ride pretty much exclusively park, this is a great board for a beginner. It's medium flex will be plenty responsive without being too sensitive, making it easy to control. However, without having snowboarded much at all yet, you might find that other areas of the resort draw your attention more than the park. Thankfully, this board is really affordable so ditching it in a few years if you change your style wont be a big deal.

I'd go with this board if I were you. It's made for the park anyways. And it has a lifetime warranty on it so if anything goes wrong with it, you can send it back.
