mountain board Question
Question by Nick C: Is an All Mountain Freestyle Snowboard good for a Beginner?
Hi everyone,
I have just bought a Burton Mayhem snowboard, and before I bought it, I read up on it and it was describe as an "all mountain board"
Having received it, I have done a bit more reading and it is actually an "All mountain Freestyle board" (it has a Feel rating of 4 whatever that means!)... not a "Freeride board"
Any help or info would be much appreciated!! as I am obviously new to this. I bought it on the premise of it being a good deal, liked the fact it was a med-wide for my size 11s and it seemed to do everything... and having learnt on tatty battered rental boards, anything would be an improvement!!!
The point is, I am going to go mainly on groomed runs, not in the park... Will I be okay??
Thanks very much for all the help... Its much appreciated.

yes it will be fine. A lot of people actually think its easier to learn on freestyle boards. Have fun

You should be okay with what you have. Because your only going to do the groomed slopes, you won't be needing a park board.
The difference between your board and a park board is that Park boards have different types of uhhh bottoms. (don't know the name). There are things like V-Rocker and S-Rockers. But you won't need to know that stuff unless you want to go into park.
But for what your going to do, an all mountain free-style board should do it.

I seriously wished i had learned on a freestyle board, more flexible, more fun and easier to learn on. You will find that board great to learn on.

you'll be totally fine! my first snowboard, oh my a long time ago it seems, was a freestyle board. didn't hinder me at all and i loved it.
as a beginner the difference in types of boards doesn't really matter to you at all. unless you plan on becoming more than a rec. boarder pay no attention to it. the difference in styles and the different widths are for the boarders who have the money to buy different boards per different terrain.
i had my first board for the first 2 years and now that i've been boarding for over 7 [starting at age 11] i've had different boards for different terrains [ie park/pipe, powder, snowcross, etc]
happy shredding!

DEPEND ON HOW SOFT IS YOUR BOARD, IF ITS TOO SOFT, GET A STIFFER ONE, IF NOT, GIVE IT A TRY AND SEE WHAT ULL GET...
I PREFER STIFF BOARDS, BUT IM NOT A PARK RAT!!!
