park is like going into the terrain park and hitting rails (jibbing) and jumps and stuff..all mountain is ur jack of all trades all around board thats a little stiffer but handles bigger jumps and landings and is more stable at higher speeds (groomers, big kickers, pipe), free ride is ur pure speed powder board really (longer and stiffer)..generally the park boards are shorter and softer so better for spins and tricks and easier to learn on.

He pretty much hit the brands head on. I would just like to add, spend alot of money on nice bindings. Most people blow all their money on the board and get poor bindings which will end up being even worse than having good bindings and a bad board.

thanks for the tip

guess im only going for all mountain
i dont plan on doing rails lol

and great boots..also equally important

boards when knew have a wieght range on the spec sheet. i like to be right in the middle of the range, sometimes on the light end cuz i like to ride real fast and so a stiffer board helps in that.

im 5'9 145 and i ride a 156cm burton custom as my main board and a 153 lib tech skate bannana as my "fuck around" board for urban riding etc.

no thanks
i know people who paid for lessons and got it down in 2 days
i learned from my cousin and i got it down in 2 hours what they got down in 2 days

lib tech is a good board

no ROME?

fail

forgot about rome sorry
