Hey guys, looking to get my first press board.
I took an FLX for a spin around the cable park the other day. I did not get to spend as much time as I wanted on it, due to the long lines. But I started to dig it towards the end of the session. That was my first time riding any type of completely finless, no channels, press board. So it felt squirly at first, but I had it under control towards the end. I did ride a Watson hybrid also, and I really dug that board. But I cant find any decent deals on one.
Now, I'm just wondering if I should pull the trigger on the FLX, or should I try and hold out until I can get someone to let me take a spin on their Slingshot. Obviously I know there are a few other press boards out there, but I'm kind of limiting myself to the "good deals" I've found on the 2010 FLX and the 09-10 Slingshots.
I can tell you what I'm looking for is pressability (obviously) and soft landing off the kickers (old knees!). By the way, I mostly ride cable these days.
Any advice?
