Rome agent or burton white collection?

Question

I just started riding park this year, been riding for 11 years. I currently ride a 07 154 K2 Kibpan with burton cartel bindings. However, i want a board thats more all freestyle rather than all mountain like the jibpan. I was curious how the rome agent and white collection compares with eachother, and also the jibpan. any suggestions?

Answer 1

If you are just getting into park riding, I would suggest the Rome Agent from your list.  I think you will find the White to be a bit stiff for entry into park riding.   While that stiffness will rock in the pipe, it will be less forgiving on rails and jumps.  I know less about the Jibpan, but from the K2 site, it sounds like it will also be stiffer than the Agent.  Stiff is great once you know what to do with it, but soft flex is better to learn park with.

Answer 2

i always like a softer flex (for burton about a 5 in feel) just for buttering and stuff like presses. but I'd go with rome agent just because its an amazing park board.
