? 161H... 63.5 kilos ?

Post by **kelvin o** » Friday 4 March 2005, 18:33

Hi,

Anyone out there with a Swoard that is on the boundary of the flex spec (around 64k for 161M/H, 74k for 168M/H, 84k for 175M/H)? I'm considering getting one of the last 161H 3D's and I'm about 63.5 kilos. I was wondering if anyone out there has the harder of the flexes but is on the border of the weight divisions and how the board works (does it feel too hard?, is it difficult to turn correctly?, etc). Thanks in advance for any information you guys could give!

Contact Peter Vu (yomama in the Forum): he tried both.
He has a 161M, what is perfect for his weight of 58 kg, but he had the opportunity to test a 161H too.
He is travelling and will be back next week.

Peter found the H a bit too difficult to flex and was struggling with it. He has the M. He will be back on the net next week.
I weight the same (132 lbs) and found the M to be maybe a little soft, then again never ttried the H. On the other hand, the Wild Duck is a little stiffer and more to my liking mainly when you pushed really hard. On regular riding (ie not to the limit/full on EC) the M is nice and bouncy and very lively. Peter rode the Wild Duck without problem.

Especially since it is based in New York, Manhattan apparently has the highest concentration of Fat Donald anywhere....haha.
You can then decide on either M (less Mac Do) or H (more Mac Do).

Thanks for the info

. I've actually had an exchange with him on TahoeCarvers about the Swoards and never actually asked about the M/H issue... Will try again.

Not to burst anyone's perceptual bubble but the city (NY) is made of a rather untypical cross section of just about everyone in the world so you can choose just about any strategy of consumption you want. Fortunately my wife is rather obsessive of keeping me healthy and limits my consumption of Philly cheesesteaks and HaagenDaz to a reasonable minimum so I have the enviable "problem" of possibly being too light for the H...

- You know what they call a quarter pounder with cheese?
- They don't call it a quarter pounder with cheese?
- No, they got the metric system, they wouldn't know what the fuck a quarter pound is.
- So what do they call it?
- Royal with cheese.
- Royal with cheese! What do they call a big mac?
- Well a big mac's a big mac, but they call it, "LE" big mac.
