hey im 6'3 190 lbs, i was wondering if the stairmaster 159 would be too soft for pipe for me? thanks
Reno, I've ridden that board. I'm 6'3" and 210. I got a size 12. That decks great if your looking for a park board to mini bike around on. Butters, rails, just dorking around on. It's super fun and the type of deck that feels like you've been riding it all season the first time you get on it. You throw it around vs. it taking you for a ride. That's why it's our best selling deck, because of it's killer rideability.
There are some really good pipe boards out there, I bet. Pretty sure the Stairmaster is for stairs that's why they are so affordable, they get beat up. I've wanted a Stairmaster for a while too but not for a pipe board. Fuck it get the Stairmaster, you'll probably love it!
Well, I mean Im not a pipe Jock by any mean. I just want a board that kills it in park and pipe. I want a board thats soft enough to easily press some rails, but stiff enough that I wont slip out in the pipe. If not the Capita Stairmaster 59, I was thinkin about these boards:
1) Lucid Notion Bird 160. 2) Signal Park 159. 3) Stepchild Hammerhead 159 4) Capita Photo fetish 160.
any info on those boards? thanks!
MHT then. That's your deal. It's $40 more than the Stairmaster, and a directional twin. Has better guts than the Stair and a couple of strips of carbon to keep it from slipping out. TWS gave it good wood for a pipe deck too.
I already have one of Tyler Lepore's Board, it was his first Pro model before MHT, its called the Capita Totally Awesome, in a 161. I still have it, it kills. I just want a bit shorter of a board, and a True Twin, plus i have size 11 boots, and its kinda wide for me. (its like 25.9)
may i suggest the dh? comes in a 159, and from what ive heard, its decently soft board that can still take some jumps and even hold up in the pipe. you could look at the rome agent as well?
peace
Word, Ill check them out. Thanks for all the info guys, it defintaley will help when i go to get a board next month.
with your weight and dimmensions, i would lean...lien towards a 160 outdoor, photo fetish or b.d.s.t.
a stairmaster seems to be too soft for your weight and height...although i am not too familiar with how capita's ride (even though everyone seems to leve them)-you seem like a solid dude, get a board that will hold and ride your dimmensions properly.

I was 195lbs when I got my Stairmaster at the end of a few seasons back. I got the 156. It was fine, no problems. It's a jibstick, but it's one of the stiffer jibsticks out there, so it holds up surprisingly well all over the mountain. Not the best, but definitely doable.
If RENO's got size 13's, the Outdoor might not be wide enough, and he might want to look at the Mid Life. And of course, if he plans on more pipe than jibs, a different stick would be best, if it fits his boots.
i havent rode it yet but im 6 foot, 215 pounds, size 11 32's. it should be fine its a jib stick, it get out the 158 capita for everything else.
snowboarding is FUN
Yeah I think so.
Damn it.
I might not be right.
