Once an intermediate rider. Moved away from the mountains but hope to make it out for a few outings per season. Would like to upgrade from the antique sticks I have been riding.

5'9" 165lbs. Really like the 157 size.

I do more freeriding than park tricks, especially now that I don't get out as much as I used too. I felt an all mountain board would be fine for going fast down blues and blacks, yet forgiving enough I can pick it up and ride after lengthy intervals between trips to the slope. (agree?)

So my question: Any good ideas for boards to look at? Something from a few years ago that I could pick up used would be nice too.

Appreciate the input.
