Ranked #102 - Snowboards
November 6, 2009
I received a 169 as a gift from a generous employer. As far as how stiff most reviews that i have read rate it, i found that it flexes much easier than my old 170 K2 fat bob. im 6'5 and 220. dont know how the banana-traction helped. it definately felt like it tracked alot better. the softer flex was alot more fun than my last board. I wasn't aware i could tailpress so easily. or nose press either. switch was alot easier too. not that i am that great at it. see you after the first pow day...
