    Freeride/big mountain snowboard?

    I've been riding a Never Summer Premier as my primary freeride/big mountain board for the last 5 seasons and I totally love it. What do you use as your freeride board?

    I've been riding a Smokin' Snowboards 172 this year,real stiff, but fairly heavy. Rode Arbor A Frames before that, but the smokin' board is much better riding.

    I am going to have Neversummer do a custom splitboard for me this summer. They charge $1100 to do a custom T5 or Titan.

    Nitro Naturals 165- I need to try a NS Titan. Basically I want a super stiff 165 that is bulletproof like my Nitro. I really like the sidecut on the Nitro's. They basically turn for you and never give out at high speeds.

    I can't even find a NS Titan right now...

    Too bad the Titan doesn't come in anything but the 164 or 169. I would have bought it one if their was one in between.

    Burton BMC164W at the moment, I love them, I have 2, I'd have more if I could find them.

    Can't find anymore BMC164W's, so I will probably start riding my Burton BaronES164 this season (7 weeks til our season starts down here, yee-fucking-ha!).

    One more plug for NS, I have a 168 T5, a 168 T5 splitter, and a 168 SL (I actually managed to break it pretty badly and replaced it with a T5, but then the Blaho boys fixed it up like new for me). Still the T5 likes to go faster and turn less.

    sooo this goes out to all the never summeres here: my GF has the chance to get a never summer titan for a reasonable price and she needs a big mountain board. she rides really really well and needs something big because her 156 duotone board is just not enough when she is going fast on wide open faces. the problem: the titan would be as big as her because it's the 169. originally she wanted to get a big mountain board in the 162-164 range. do you think she should go for it ? she certainly rides well enough, but im not sure about weight or stance issues.(as far as i know anything about snowboards)
    It's a war of the mind and we're armed to the teeth.

    On the rare occasion that I bust out a snowboard on pow days, I've got an old burton supermodel 180. Noodly as hell and blows past the flats.

    It's rediculously fun to ride

    go big
