Ok A short while ago i tried out a friends salomon loft 160 with rome 390's realy nice although no flex in it atall.

After reading some reveiws on the salomon i realised it wasnt for me as what i like to do is little bits of powder starting into jumps and just messing about on the side of runs.

I went to a shop the other day and they had a Nitro Atomic 162 (I think its a bit big) the woman said it had quite a lot of flex but when i got it home I flexed the salomon and this nitro didnt seem to flex more atall

Any help should i just sell it all and buy something completely different or what?

Also im 9 stone and just under 6ft

All advise is welcomed

Thankyou.

Honestly, every snowboard is good for that kind of riding.
Jib baords, park boards, powder boards...it's all the same for mountain riding
mostly what you want to look for is the length
if its anywhere between your chin and your nose when you stand with it, it's a good size
if you want to do rails, get a smaller baord, if you want jumps, get a bigger board
