Has anyone got any info on head snowboards? Iv been looking around on the net for an intermediate ish board that im not going to grow out of too fast but that will help me to progress and become a better all round snowboarder. I ride all over the place and would like to get into a few jumps etc but nothing major as yet.
I went into a few shops and alot keep saying buy a burton custom but at 400 thats alot of cash to be spending really so i started hunting around then went hunting on ebay and seems you can get some nice deals. A friend of mine rides a head damage and loves it but i was just wondering if ther were any other people out there who use head boards and what they are like. I have been looking at a head giant i (can get it with some head p1 bindings too but they look a little naff??) anyone got one of these?
So basically does anyone have any expericance with them and could anyone point me to somewhere with more info on last years boards
thanks in advance

Alright chief,
I'd recommend a Head Tribute [which is a bit of a do anything board] or a Head Transit [which is the main park/freestyle board, which is a bit stiffer than the Tribute]
I'd avoid the Crown as you'd find it too stiff for what you want.
However if you are riding mainly in the UK, look into a Head True, the are super poppy and quite soft. The best thing about the True's are the price, so you won't feel bad hammering it on rails etc.
It would be worth checking out Head's bindings, I reckon they are the best in the market at the moment. Check out the PX5.
