Lib Technologies TRS C2BTX Snowboard - 2010

I'm from the east, about your same size and I got a 159 but good luck finding it in that size. Board can do it all and I got it brand new for under $400, love those end of season sales.

hey man for ur size i would deff recommend a 167

I'm same size as you, I ride a trs 154, I have a trice 153 love them both. I have a gnu dkass 158. hate it. too big. The trs is a stiffer board smaller the better IMO so you can man handle it, but in powder its a dream due to the radness of the c2btx. The waist width can handle up to size 11 on a 154 or 157 TRS. I wouldnt recommend anything bigger than a 157 for your size.

I'm your exact size and I ride a Libby 159 TRS-MTX and I couldn't ask for more out of a snowboard. Lib-Tech are the gold standard of snowboards. Magne-Traction ftw.

Not if your that small. If your 5'7 you should be gettin at biggest a 154 for the park, this board would be huge for u in the park

that is what i ride and we are the same size. the guy in your local shop was right on!! you should make sure you go back to them and pick it up from the shop. they are the ones that steered you in the right direction so hook them up with buying the board from them!

may aswell stick with the 159 its good enough to ride mountain and still be nice in the park

a skate banana is awesome they dont get much better in my opinion. and are great for an all round board. it really depends how much more time you want to invest in the park. the lib tech box scratcher is a wicked little jib board for the park. but out the two boards you have listed i personally would pick the GNU riders choice board. every review i have seen on it is at least 4 out of 5 stars everyone loves it. and my friend in st anton swears by it he wont even look at another board for fear of the GNU leaving him lol.

I've got union force SLs on my trs 162...great combo. Responsive, light and comfortable

rome 390's no doubt.

First things First. . . You dont put BURTON bindings on a LIB TECH . . . .Well unless you're travis rice ahhh, HE's AWESOME! . . . to sum it all up. tag the TRS with some UNIONS! also . . . ahhh id put some ROME 390's "acid" those would look RAD! but honestly the board you buy reflects on the bindings you buy.... depending on the riding you do. . . . EXAMPLE. if you do park.... Go with a LOVE. . .HERO. . .or what have you not... you would want a MISSION... CARTEL... if you ride ALL MtN. . . . lib tech TRS... burton Custom... you would do a Union data lil more stiff then the force /rome 390 for the Lib... an or Burton board....CO2.. or C60 are stiffff!!! hope this helps anyone!

sup bro,, i'm bout 5'10"/170lbs/size 11 boot,, i've never rocked a wide stance board in my LIFE,, and you should be fine as well,, both of these boards are sick as hell,, the skunk being wider of course,, if you wanna try out the wide it's your choice,, but you should be good on a regualr 157 board,, hope this helps..//

159. But consider the Skunk Ape since you've got size 12's, unless you have some really good boots with low profiles.
The two boards are very similar in construction, the Skunk Ape is like the Wide version of the TRS.

well i would say the Young Blood Chillydog for sure

Are you kidding???

Forum youngblood NON chillydog. Original camber DONT CONFORM

hey Steve im 5-10 and 185 and rock the 162. Ive been in 2' of pow and been all mountain with my TRS. I couldnt be more happier with this board. I also dont think that 167 would make that big of a difference if youre not in the park. It seems to ride shorter then it is, at least in my opinion.

Type words here.

I'm exact size as you.. 157 is the size I choose. I would never consider going larger than a 159. With the c2 you can size down a little, it'll still float effortlessly.

id go 162 for sure

5'11" size 11 boot on 157,, no problemo..//

I'm 5'11 and ride a 157.. I wear nike 10.5 boots. Any larger I would want a mid wide board. At an 11 I'd look for a mid wide for sure

Yes.

I meant how heavy the board is (157 cm)

I dont understand the question are u asking how heavy the board is or what size you should get for your weight i have no clue. if you leave me a better question in the comments ill try to get you an answer asap or you can ask the live chat experts.

this board should be just right for you,, it has a flex rating of 5 of 10,, 10 being stiffest,, the magtrac is ice's worst nightmare so this i believe is a must for your location,, i'm about 5'10"/170lbs and i rock the TRS C2BTX 154,, Go Get IT!!!..//

The TRS would work well for you. You definitely want C2. It gives you all the stability and pop of camber while riding a rockered board. Its stable while bombing the steeps and while stomping huge landings in the park. Plus it has magnatraction which goes through ice like butter

157

I'm 180 and usually ride the 159, but sounds like the 162 will be a better fit for you. That's what I would pick to ride at Jackson.
Enjoy!!

The board is available in a narrow size elsewhere on this site. I would suggest the 151 narrow for sure!

154. more control. no pow where u ride no need to lug around more than you need.

A 159 would be perfect for you.

Go for the TRS. The Travis Rice board is a mid wide and may be sluggish to turn with a size 7 boot. They both have C2, but the construction on the TRS is a little more high end also.

I rode last years T. Rice C2BTX and it was by far the best board I have ever owned. However, the only reason I didn't purchase the TRS last year was because it wasn't a double camber. This years TRS is, and although riding a C2 with Magne-traction takes a while to get used to, once you master it, you'll never go back. It really comes down to what kind of rider you are, the T rice is an awesome all mountain board that will rip anything, where as the TRS is lighter, has more pop and is a little more park oriented. Both are down right awesome boards. I would probably go with the TRS, but, you really cant go wrong with either.

Should be fine if you have some newer boots and a decent pair of bindings.
The Skunk Ape is the closest thing to the TRS in the wide if you want to make sure you don't have any problems with your footsize.

If you're looking for the convienance of the rear entry bindings, go for the Gnu Agro binders. They utilize the best features of the Flow's and the Cinch by K2. Otherwise, I'd agree with E.C.R. and scope those unions and mayube some flux's.

flow bindings are junk, break easily, can be very uncomfortable and are not as responsive as other bindings. If you're looking for something durable, light, and responsive then go with union forces or datas. If you're a union hater, Rome Targas are another option, but I haven't found them to be as durable or light as union

Flows easy to get in and out of thing is overblown, if you know what you're doing you can get your strap in bindings on just as fast as any pair of flows
