   Check out Rome SDS instead of the K2 or Burton. Like, for instance, the Artifact is super flexy, ton of pop, and is definitely geared toward more street riding and jibbing. The Graft is a little bid stiffer, a little more park geared-nice for jumps. Finally, the Agent is again a little more stiff great for jumps, also pretty pricey. (Which would kind of parallel the Uninc, except...nicer).
   
   As for other boards, the WWW you have to buy 5cm shorter than what you would normally ride (which means that a 145 in that board might work) because it has the same effective edge as a longer board, just a chopped off nose and tail. It's midpriced to lower-end. Hence, the Uninc is a huge step up. Burton's are nice, but overpriced and tend to feel stiffer. (Not to mention the company is a gigantic corporate monster, looked down upon by some riders for not being "core"). ANYWAYS.
   
   Other boards to check out would be LibTech Skate Banana (really jibby and flexy),  Nitro T1 (less pricey), Nitro T2 (more pricey, laced with carbon I think), and the Capita Stairmaster.

   im the exact same height and weight as you bro and a 145 is a little small for jumps. I ride a capita stairmaster extreme 148 and im about to get a 152 next season just because its kind of a pain trying to gather enough speed for jumps while still staying in control. As far as boards go ( I highly recommend the capita stairmaster extreme) i would say the www is a better board for rails because its so soft, the uninc is a good board also its just not as flexible for those presses. so overall go with the www if your looking to jib more and go with the uninc if you want to catch some fat air.
