swing wieght (Reply to this comment)
by DrYiCe61
You're right, swing rate is a factor, but, i bieng 130 pounds, snowboarding for 8 years of my life, dont even worry about it, I can pull a 720 out of dead leg muscle, once your in the air, it's the wieght of the board not the construction so much, when you are on the ground, the tail is what keeps you from pullin ground 180's but anyone who has ridden enough can pull it around, anyone who is just starting will probobly fall anyway on a simple 180 as i did when i started. Great column rodeo.
