sorry i didnt see your question. i got the 162 directly from burton cause they didnt have a 155 in stock. i was planning on trading the 162 with a 155 from my shops stock but i just bought it instead because i didnt want to wait on a 2 week shipping. the 162 hero sold on ebay yesterday.

i use the 151 blunt with my size 10.5 boots with not problem. the key to riding it with out toe drag is just widening your stance width and "ducking" out your stand angles.

What angles to you typically ride at? I ride with a wide stance as is, but usually 15/12. I'm going to be changing that to 15/15 though so I can work on riding switch more. I've been trying small spins and 180 outs on rails, and being horrible at switch typically alters my abilities to stay upright haha.

i believe it is both a twin and centered thus making it a "true twin"; symetrical. i am not 100% sure though. i dont plan on going to the 757 anything but my girl is in williamsburg and i have some friends that are from the beach so if they are going home anytime they could prob meet you.
