| They do the wide DH boards in snow and rock but with size 11 id of thought you could get away with standard width as long as you were riding a wide stance with wide angles |

| I'm a size 11 and am on a Yes 158 this season, pretty wide stance set at +15-15 and I dont suffer heel or toe drag. Set me back £315 from TSA at the demo day with 10% off |

Yes mate, they do the Parkstar wide.
http://k2snowboarding.com/boards/parkstar-wide
This Parkstar is one of 4 boards i can't decide whether to have myself this season. I rode it at the board test in May out in Austria and didn't want to give it back. Its amazing Park, piste and powder.  |

Ok cool like the look of that Parkstar in Wide, do you think i'd get away with a 157 in the Parkstar wide (maybe if i lost some weight LoL) love the lime green.
Ok so list of boards to try:
DC PBJ
DC MLF
K2 Parkstar
Ride DH
Nitro Team Series
All in as wide and short as I can get away with...
Going to see a new shop thats open up in brighton about the Never Summer Revolver aswel tomro see what they'd give me for my baron in part ex |

157 is too small and 85kg if you get back to 80kg you should be ok....ish
Personally i don't do the whole small board thing. I like speed and powder and don't see the point in riding small boards unless you only are a total park rider.
The DH as an amazing board. I've riding one for the past 2 years now. Look at the DH2 as well. The lowrise rocker works really well on the whole mountain and park. |

I'd go for the 160W personally. If you can find one that is. They have sold stupidly well!! The 3cm won't make it any harder to get that 360, but you'll appreciate it building speed on the way to the kicker  |

Cool cheers, born extreme
I went to surface 2 air today had a look around they're getting someone to call me who knows about snowboards as they guy in there only knew about kite surfing.
Saw the Parkstar seems nice, the guy said they've sold loads of them already.
Trying to get a Never Evo to demo but not holding my breath |

| My brother has a baron too, he loves it but has the same problem when it comes to freestyle and jibbing. I'd recommend a Ride Machete 161w, It's going to be really playful with the lowrize rocker but this board has plenty of pop too. It didn't win this years Transworld 'Good Wood' award for nothing |

| I liked the look of the machete and the nitro team series. If you are tempted by the team series, check out boardridersguide.com, they have last years at a snip over £200 as they're on sale and have a further 10% off with scuk membership. I looked at the nitro team gulwing in snow and rock in hemel, and that looked sweet. They have demo's of the dh and the team series, so if you're there and riding anyway has got to be worth the £15 to demo them both. |

Well guys tried a few boards out and ended up really liking the Ride DH, only problem is I HATE the graphic on it, they really dont go with any of my bindings/boots etc.
Right pain in the arse, trying to get hold of a DH2 or 2.3 but doubt it as there not many made, bad times. |
