Have you ridden a Riot 179???

[dagranov]

Hello,

I had a chance to ride a friend's Riot 179 the other day. IT IS AN AMAZING BOARD!!! I stayed on it for 7 hours at A basin, just dragin elbows the whole time.
What I want to know is if you have ever ridden this board, what do you think it is comparable too???

I absolutely loved it, the quick way it transitions and just pops out of turns, and found that I rode it better than I ride my own Prior WCR 185. Since Riots are impossible to find, I'm wondering what 179 to buy. I am already considering a Donek and will demo one next week...

AS long as I'm here, what do you think of Head boots vs. Raichle???

Thanks!

Dmitry

Pretty soft from what others have told me. A lot more sidecut than the Prior too. So perhaps that's what you should look at, like the Coiler or Donek all mountain stuff, 11m sidecut. They can customize the flex to your style and weight too. But of course Prior can do that also.
