Winter is almost (hopefully) here on the East Coast, and I still don't have a board! My old board was a Burton Dominant: http://s3.backcountry.com/900/BUR/BU...488-S146CM.jpg

I've done my research and I've narrowed it down to the Lobster Freestyle and the Lobster Parkboard.

I am 5ft 7-8in and I tend to do many jumps, butters, some rails and boxes. I would like to ride the rest of the mountain as well. I have been riding for 7-8 years now and my biggest concern is... Will I still be able to ride the rest of the mountain with a parkboard? Or would I need the freestyle board? I think I am advanced enough that I should have no problem with the parkboard, but I just want to make sure I will make the right purchase. If someone could help me out, that would be great.
