I'm looking for a new stick myself
I am also considering the A-Frame. Looking for a top notch freeride board that can rip with excellent edge hold. Elex on this forum turned my attention to Glissade Snowboards. They appear to be a nice custom shop based in San Francisco. Take a look at the Short Bus. I don't know your specs, but this looks like an awesome board.

Also considering the Never Summer T5, Donek Incline Wide, maybe a Ride Timeless.
Good luck.
Question for NoKnees (and others)
I have narrowed my board choice to a '03 Never Summer Premier 161or '03 Ride Timeless 161. From earlier posts, I have seen you have been on the Timeless for some time now. Have you ever demo'd a NS? I was curious to hear the pro's and con's for each board. I have heard nothing but rave reviews for each. I am 5-11, 175, 5 years exp, freeride exclusively. Looking for an all mountain board that can go fast with minimal chatter. Excellent edge hold also a plus.
Thanx.
