need help urgently! skwal choice q +

Postby Jazzz » 01 Mar 2009 17:38

hi there!
tested a skwal today for the first time, loved it :)

want to buy one to explore futher, but dont know which one to buy

the one I was testing today was an mpride xrace 183. Stable, predictable, fast.

However, I have someone offering a Lacroix X1 to me real cheap (at 300 euro), new.

how do these two compare? mind you, I am only a novice in skwal, but a hardbooter for about 3 years, and a softbooter for another 7 before that:)

thanks for your help - I need to make a decision fast, like today or tomorrow.

Nice to meet you.

The Xrace183 is the best gun.

In totali opposition, the X1 is very soft ( to much soft )

for bye a skwal, you can make it on http://shop.skwal.eu/index.php?id_lang=1 for the RS176 ( or other one )
Or on http://www.mpride.net/index.php?sL=shop&setLang=en for a mpride board

The RS176, was a good board for beginner, stable, fast and easy, versatile.

The XRace 183, is the best board, for speed - race - carve

nice meeting you too and thanks for a fast answer.

I would love to follow your buying tips, but I don't think they will deliver to Russia. My choice is basically limited to X-race and X1.

I am 1m84cm and 95kilos. I guess mpride is a better choice that will last me longer, right?

Hi Andrei,
I would say that with your size and weight you have only a few choice of suitable boards :)

I think you would break an X1 in two parts only in a few curves, so forget it definitely.

The mpride x183 is a good choice, if you want something radical, there should be no problem
to have it shipped to Russia durectly from the mpride web site.
Maybe the Lacroix 183 can be found in Russia more easily, it is a bit cooler to ride (with less sensations).

If you know other russian skwalers, push them towards skwalzone, we would be glad to have news from skwal in russia!

Zarkod,
Thanks for your answer. I think going for an easy choice (I know a place here that stocks mpride) is the right thing to do :)

I know at least 2 other people on a forum that I frequent, but not sure they speak English all that well. I will invite them here anyway :D

Cheers,
Andrei
