Your the pretty much the same height and weight as myself. The jib is a midwide board so unless you've got really big feet (above 10.5/11) should be fine for either. It's got a big range of stance options so no probs there. The 153 would be better on a mountain but if your only going to use it for rails in the uk then you could get away with he 149. just get along to a shop and strap into one and see what you think.

Ian (oneloveofboardsports) is on here and he deals with technine and nomis so he'd be able to help you more.

Cool, cheers for the reply, i'll mainly be using it in the UK. Does a shorter board make for harder landings from kickers? Will the 153 be harder to better with?

Cheers for the help Smile

i've heard the jib is slightly stiffer than alot of jib boards but you should still be abel to butter with it. Yeah a 153 would be better for landing off kickers though as it would spread ya weight over a bigger area.

Do you think i'd notice much of a diff between my 156 and 153? 3cm doesn't seem like much of a difference.

Basically I want something thats the right length for flat land tricks, kickers and rails Smile

smaller boards are easier to spin, sure you can do those things with a 156, just what ya prefer really. Demo any 153 and see what you think and wether you think it's a big difference then ya can make a decision

Beaker we have 1 T9 jib board left in stock in a 153 in blue but we also have the pimped limited edition jib board in stock in a 153.

I actually ride the jib board myself in a 153 and I love it. I used to ride a kink 152, the jib is slightly stiffer but you can still easily butter it, hit rails and kickers.

Just click the link in my sig to check out the boards we have in stock!

I've got one, you'll be ideal for it, I'm 5'11 and 15 stone with 12.5 feet, I'm cool on Tam for it, but need slightly longer for more powdery.

Its slightly stiffer for a Jib board, but its cool.

If you weren't in glasgow you could come test it Razz

Drop some feedback, good or bad its all good for us to see what people think, and to give everyone on here a better idea of how product rides etc.
