What do you guys think of Ride snowboards?

[boyRacer]

I need a new board to move up from my cheapo board... im lookin at Ride and M3 right now... what do you guys think? I'm 5'9" so i'm thinking 155-160 regular board width (foot size 11) sounds good? Also... i've seen boards that are wider up front... what does that do? Are twin tips usually better? Thanks!

Hmm

I am Burton kinda guy myself.. I ride the Burton BMC

Ride is owned by K2, I believe.

I would get the M3 myself..

No offense to xdjopmx, but i wouldnt ever spend the money on Burton. Call me a non-conformist, i dont know, its just that i've always thought their boards rode like sh1t. I would maybe look into the Morrow line, or Oxygen has a few nice boards (if they are still around) that can be had at a decent price. Myself, I ride a Hammer, if you can afford to get one imported, i would seriously think about it if i were you, next time i need/want something new, i'll definately be using their boards again. such a sweet ride...

Never buy a ride board. Eveeeer.

They have a very low center base so they are prone to scratches and chunks very easily. Most of their models except for the signatures and pros are under 1000 CB. Thats bad.

I have a K2 Dart with Ride bindings. The bindings are very nice.

Well People ride what they ride.

I like my burton and i think rides like great.

I personally have no care for Morrow or Oxygen.. but my prefernce i guess

Good Luck on gettin a ride
