    0.26 “Have you sturrffffed?”…lol.. and try press 4 repetitively. or press 4 then wait one second and press it again. 0.23-0.28 he kinda sounds Austrian.
    Without taking the crap from the vid, I still learnt something out of it.

    Im 6′ 175lbs and ride a 154. It all depends on what kind of riding you like to do, If u ride a lot of park, go with a smaller board. If u ride a lot of pow or just like to carve, go with a bigger board. Usually its better to pick a size based on your weight, but if you are short and heavy or tall and light, that will make a difference too.

  • zygi22:

    expert FAIL ! still perpetuating the old same crap that your board’s length should be somewhere in between your chin and your nose. WTF ?! How about you consider riders WEIGHT along with riding style as a primary factor.

  • jorgethesexy24:

    how do you find out your size of boot? do you get it in the shoe size you are or what?

  • Brute934:

    I have 1 question wat happens if you do have overhang why is it so bad

  • mwjk13:

    im 175 cm and 67 kg wat size board shud i get and i am size 8 boots wat width

  • xXUrbanProductionsXx:

    then thats bad cus you don’t want toe drag

  • IVisionLive:

    No, That is the Length of the board. Average is about 156 or so. The width is 26CM if Wide and 24/25 if regular or so

  • DPfromthenorth:

    @daniej1 : Where can you get these disks? and does it effect your riding?

  • nasa1998:

    yes it will affect your carving cause your toe might get caught when your carving

  • TheXbox360News:

    Is the width of my board where it says “156″ because I have a Redline 156 Option and I where size 13 shoe and my foot hangs over the board by like an inch or two will the effect carving or anything?

  • dejanpolo:

    @daniej1
    dwarf is fat and gay

  • daniej1:

    your snowboard size depends on your weight, not your length, and also on what type of riding you do

    also if your feet are to big for your board you can get disks that raise your bindings so you don’t get toe/heel drag as fast

  • xBloodfatherx:

    @cjacki32 only you can know if its too big for you!!!

  • icecoolskater:

    i have a problem
    my board is 24,4 wide and i have size 9,5 boots

    ‘cuz my toes are hanging about 3 cm off the edge

  • TheChickMagnetTheMiz:

  • Civic95:
