Good Quiver?
Posted on 09:42 by Immigration

So I've slowly added to my quiver over the last 3-4 years, but I'm not sure I added the correct boards to cover various types of terrain, conditions, and riding.
First off, I don't ride park anymore. Too many close calls but I'll hit small, natural features, ollie, butter, and do some toe to toes. My preferred riding is all-mtn freestyle to include bombing/carving groomers, powering through crud, and hitting small natural hits. I also enjoy glade riding and love me some powder, especially open terrain and bowls. With that said, I'm 5'9" 225 lbs. My quiver includes:
11-12 Rome Anthem SS 163
12-13 Ride Berzerker 161
11-12 Burton Custom 158
The Anthem is what I use for powder days and the bezerker/custom are my everyday boards to do everything. If conditions are hard pack/groomed but theres a chance of snow while riding, I go with the bezerker just in case of some accumulation. It also allows me to enjoy powder on trails but also hit bowls if good accumulation occurs. If I know I'll be doing a little more freestyle, I'll go with the custom. If a dump happens the night before, I'll go with the anthem knowing it'll be a powder day.
A few questions for the board experts out there:
1) Does this seem like the proper quiver for my riding?
2) Are the bezerker and custom too similar? If so, is there a better option for me? Or are only 2 boards necessary meaning I should sell one?
3) Is the anthem a good choice as a powder board considering what I like to ride?
4) If not the anthem, what would folks recommend?
I'm trying to fine-tune my quiver once and for all so your feedback is appreciated. With end of season sales starting, I may clear some boards out and go with some different options.
Thanks for your input.
