Park board?

Question

I am a freestyler with a burton clash right now but may be getting a new board more suitable for park, but that can still shred the mountain. I'm pretty convinced that the burton dominant is what I'm lookin for (nothing over 400 bucks) but I'm also seriously considering the doom, seven, and blunt. which of these is the best. i also am considering the forum destroyer

Answer 1

Any park board will do fine on the mountian, as long as you don't plan on doing any actual back country runs. So the Youngblood, Blunt, Rome Artifact Solution Machine, and Seven are all good choices. I think the Seven and Youngblood are your two best options.

Answer 2

I tested out my friend's WWW by k2, and it's probably the sickest looking freestyle board I've ever seen. You CANNOT go wrong with forum youngblood, dope graphics with soft flex and great for jibbing, but you can definately still shred the mountain! You can get a youngblood for 215 online (I know a site, but you gotta look ;]) and a NEW pair of Cartels for 131 (Again, you gotta look, but they are on the same site). Under 400 Bucks for JUST a board you say? Well, get a NAAAASTY board with some sick bindings as well, for only like 350. DUUUUUDE. You make me wanna buy a new setup now haha.. Good luck.

Answer 3

im looking at the rome artifact and k2 WWW (world wide weapon) which are very great boards. the artifact has a softer flex, and is directed towards the park, great on rails and good on jumps. the WWW is soft too, but not as soft as the artifact and is great for jumps and rails, and it also has more control. another great board is the burton dominant, great soft flex and is great for park, it is a direction shape, so if you want to land switch it might a bit harder, but it might not be, depends on you. The burton twin is also a great park board, nice twin shape and flexy. the blunt is nice too, twin and i think it has a soft flex, but for around 350-400$ you could get a better board.

Answer 4

all the responses are pretty much right on.... the K2 WWW is dope as all h**l,

the dominant is a great freestyle board, but it's too soft for big mountain riding, you might have some trouble w/it in some fast line riding...

The burton clash is garbage bro,  i'd snap that thing in half...LOL

the seven is tight, i honestly didn't know they still make it....ahahah...haven't had much experience w/the blunt...

if you want a burton, you have to go to their higher end boards....they're low end boards are garbage....i have the custom  for my all purpose board....antwaan is right, it's a sick all around board, but it's not that great for jibbing.....much better suited for kickers and pipe and all mountain....

i just bought the nitro eero ettala as my park board.....i LOVE IT.....it's stiff enough to handle the entire mountain and soft enough to jib and butter until the sun goes down...it's got unbelievable pop, first time i hit a kicker w/it, i  almost lost control b/c i was so high....highly recommend it....oh and ps...it's always the last thing i look at, but the graphics are just plain sick....(no animals were harmed in the making of it)

good luck

Answer 5

the burton blunt is a great board. i just got one and have really improved my freestyle ability in a short amount of time.

Answer 6

The best park board they make is the K2 WWW

The clash is junk brotha, Most of the LOW end burton boards are trash

The domintant is frickin sweet, especially this years with the griptape.

BUt id wait untill next years ROME artifact comes out, the graphics are so so so sweet, Thats what im waiting for.   But id say that the BURTON CUSTOM would be exactlly what your looking for, the Rome and K2 are JIB boards, The Custom will do it all and you can get this years for frickin 360 bucks thats a steel!!  So go get it and shred it, Good luck Dude
