| Im looking to buy a new board, primarily for park use and seeing as its towards the end of the season there should be a few deals knocking about. Have been very tempted with the Ride Kink. Have been looking at the K2 WWW Rocker as well. How does these compare and which one would be is better / most forgiving and value for money? |

| Have a look at the Capita Stairmaster and Horrorscope which is the reverse camber version of the stairmaster aswell. Both use the WDT core which has a really nice soft but poppy core, Ive been ridding one since the start of the season and its an awesome board. Its ideal for park and our uk slopes and domes and when I got mine they started off with a retail of £ 250 so you should be able to grab a good deal on one now. |

Don't expect to be using the SCUK discount at freeze any more this season, apparently all discounts have expired for the rest of the season...at least that's what I was told when I asked why the code no longer worked on their website.
Great shop and service though!! |

| When you're buying a park board, should you buy the same size as you normally ride or smaller? |

generally smaller..... assuming your already riding the correct size for all mountain use.
you could get away with a much shorter board in a UK dome than you'd use on a mountain........so many variables - weight, skill level, personal choice! etc. |

| Ive got the DH2 with the slimewalls i would say it makes some difference but i wouldnt buy a board just based on it having slimewalls its not a major factor |
