Ok guys been directed here by someone from another forum.
I've been boarding for about 10 years now so I can get down the mountain pretty well. I always have a little play in the park but can never do anything more than grabs and 180's.
I've got a Burton Baron 164 board which I love for piste smashing but its just no good in the park so am selling it to fund a new more park orientated board the question is "WHICH ONE" theres so blooming many out there.
Im looking for around £300-£350 and ideal available from snow and rock as a mate started work there 2 days ago so hoping for some good discount 
I was looking at DC PBJ (its so cheap), DC MLF, K2 Darkstar, Ride DH, have been told about the Never Summer Evo R (its a bit pricey).
Just would like to get your ideas on it. I've got Burton Cartel bindings but thinking I might sell them with the board to make it easier.
I'm going to Hemel Snow dome in Dec so will be able to try a few boards out.
Your thoughts would be great.
Cheers Elliott |

i'm after a new board too, so went and got myself a copy of the whitelines buyers guide.
There's tons of stuff in there and might give you a few other options too. |

You'll need a wide, so NS is out as I don't think there are any Revolvers left...
Darkstar Wide or DH Wide would be good. Not sold on DC as the flex patterns are a bit whack and I'm not sold on their quality. |

i am also 6'5" about 85kg with size 12s and i also used to have a baron but recently got a new board because i wanted to start doing abit of freestyle. very strange i know.
the DC PBJ did cross my mind and also the Ride crush but in the end i got a 159W ride DH because i still wanted an all mountain board rather than a pure park board and i like it a lot. |

| Your best bet would be to actually go into TSA or Snow and Rock and speak to one of the staff in there. They can then show you the boards they feel would suit you. |

I've also got a Baron - it's too cumbersome, I'm only 6'2" - and was looking for a new board this season. I don't really need a wide so I was looking at the Yes boards or the Bataleon Goliath. I fancy gettin me some of that rocker s**t.
But I don't know if they do wider boards for you. Sorry, not much help. |

Winterfunman who are you ? Which forum do I no you from ?
Hey Simongoessideways hows it going.
Ok I have been into snow and rock my gf's brother started there last week so getting a board from there is ideal.
But from someone on another forum who sounds like he knows what hes talking about the only board in the snow and rock range he'd go for is the Nitro Team series in a wide. (apparent this guy has been on the slopes over 500days in the last 5 years and has ridden pretty much everything going)
Bornextreme I didnt think they did the PARKstar in a wide ???
De... the Yes boards I like the look of but are they in the £300-350 range ? |
