I've made a few of these before, but I've changed my mind a little bit. I'm looking into getting a park board that can still handle the rest of the mountain. I will be primarily be using it for buttering, cruising down trails hitting natural features and 5-20 ft jumps. I'll start doing some more jibbing also. I just also want it to also be able to fly down the mountain without too many problems even if it isn't ideal.

I was looking into boards like the NS Revolver, K2 Parkstar, and LT Skate Banana, but I'm up for any more suggestions. I was also wondering how well boards like the NS Legacy, GNU Rider's Choice, and k2 Turbo Dream would be for buttering and riding park.

I guess I'm mainly undecided about what I want to compromise more. I'll go with the more all-mountain freestyle board if it can still ride park well and butter fairly easily, but if not I'd want a park board that can ride the rest of the mountain decently. I really just want the best board that is decent at everything, but not amazing at any one thing if there is any board like that.
