- a big nerd
Just to go full nerd on this for absolute clarity. I was doubting my measurement after riding as it did indeed feel shorter.

You need to press down the camber while doing that, to go full nerd 🤓 If the widest part of the board is still touching the ground, and then some, that's when you know someone fucked up. It can vary a little depending on how far up on edge you go, while the board is compressed.

Has anyone ridden the Lib Lost Rocket in recent years? I can get some ex-demo that may not even have seen snow for a decent price. Looking at 2023 or 2024 models, seems only to be a minor nose shaping difference between them. Would be using as a pow board and also for carving and goofing around on smaller hills.

There are also some suggestion about how to mount your Flow bindings in different position, for different riding purpose :D

Think I need one of these. Can't decide between the 159 and 160w. Do you think that extra waist width would drastically change its flex? I'm basically looking for it to ride exactly how you described it, but i have 10.5 US feet. I miiiiiight be able to get away with the 25.5 ww on the 159.

I’m really not sure if the wide versions are made for the same weight rider but with larger feet or just bigger all over and heavier. I guess if the core profiling is the same then the wide will be stiffer by 1/25, which isn’t much at all.
