    Freestyle board recommendation?

    I have a '00 158 Ride Timeless right now. I feel like it's holding me back in the park because it doesn't have much pop anymore and it's really stiff. One possibility is a Ride Serum. I'm looking for something midrange price because it's going to be a spare board.

    I'm 5'10, 154lbs, size 11-12 feet.

    Possibly enough pop left for ollieing in that board, but not the best stick at your weight for that type of riding due to it's stiffness. Check out this '04 model. Great price on a great freestyle board that would likely meet your needs, especially being just slightly wider than the Serum.

    You really think I should get a 158? I was thinking about going shorter.. maybe a 155 or something.

    A 155 would be okay for park. One advanatge of a board such as the Shadow in a 155 is that you can drop down slightly in length for better swing weight without really losing much speed due to it's slight added width(speed is determined by mass in contact with snow).

    What about the Nitro T2?

    What would I lose from going with a twin tip and more flexible?
