Lib Technologies T.Rice Pro Model C2BTX Blunt Snowboard - 2010

this board should be fine for rails but if all ur focusing on is rails there are better boards out there. lib tech makes the skate banana can kill on rails

if he wants bugger snowboard... bought him 1.61...!!!!

161.5.. The board rides shorter than it is.. It's a midwide so it will easily fit his boot.

Jake, you sound knowledgeable on sizing. I'm 6' flat but 210 lbs with 11.5 boots. Do you think the 61.5 is too short for me or should I opts for the longer board?

So would you think that the T rice board runs bigger ? I am about 5'9 and weigh prolly 160lbs n i wanna know whether this board is gonna be to big or not. I got the older T rice model in a 151 n it fits me perfectly.

I agree with ben in terms of sizing for your board, but however I believe you should go with a 153. These boards are hand crafted, making the size not exact. I went to my local shop and put a 153 of this exact board up to me and it fit perfectly. If i had to guess it was probably more towards a 156 then a 153, and I am 170 5'11'' and have this board in 153. I do the same riding style as you and think you will be happy with a board of this size due to your statistics. You will not be let down with this all mnt machine.

i think that for a powder/ freestyle a 153 would be too small im your size and i ride a 153 in the park so if i were you id go with a 155/154 it should be the right size for you... hoped that helped

Those are two totally different rides and each have their own unique qualities.
T-Rice
*Mid Wide
*Stiffer-More aggressive flex
*Big Mountain Freestyle
*C2BTX

Pickle
*available in wide or regular
*Medium, highly versitile flex
*Deeper heelside for balanced heel-to-toe action.
*BTX
*lower price-point

Depends on your riding style, pocketbook and graphic preferences, either way you're off to a great start picking between these two boards!

I got the park pickle last year and just traded it in for this board. The pickle is great, real fun board for everything. But it was a little too soft for hauling at high speeds, and the full reverse camber was fun, but the bottom of my board got DESTROYED. I ride east coast ice, so the magna traction was nice, but the bottom of my board has more p-tex on it that any of my old boards combined. And I only had it for ONE SEASON! So my hope is that T Rice will prevent some of that chatter at high speed as well as the complete destruction of the base due to the C2 power banana shape. I'll get back to you specifically on which one rides better, but I would recommend the T Rice based on my riding with the pickle.

T Rice for sure. Just Look at what Travis Rice does on it. Its amazing on jumps, tons of pop and stable on the landings

Its more of advanced big air board, maby not be the best for rails but i think it would handle ok.

The T.Rice has a slightly smaller side cut radius which may make it a bit more 'carvey', its a little wider which will help it float a little better on pwder days...are you done growing? If you are you might as well toss a coin? I bougth a TRS and then changed my mind and decided to go with the T.Rice - I wear an 8 Boot, I prefer my boards a little stiffer - which the T.Rice is according to Lib-Tech's website, And the smaller side cut radius might make it carve a little better. If you are worried about sluggish turning, and want the T.Rice, consider a slightly more responsive binding/boot combination....I ride Driver X's with Aluminium bindings - Ride, Drake, and Bent Metal's - each on a a different board - for the T.Rice I am debating between a set of Ride Contraband Nitrane's or Burton C02's. At the end of the day buy which one your feeling - they will both rip and you will likely like both boards.

I would say to go for the TRS. The T Rice is a mid-wide and might feel a little sluggish turning with a size 7. The TRS will be faster edge to edge.
