Agent

Superpop Core Matrix
Smooth flexing with high energy release; lighter than 2008

StraightTriax 30 Carbon Laminate
Ultra light and ultra snappy for a dynamic, responsive feel

SinterSpeed Base
High-end wax absorption for high-end speeds

Impact Plates™
2.5 times more anti-compression protection under your feet

Impact Edges
Thick edges handle rail abuse better

LDC Technology
Strategic use of low density wood to reduce weight—more LDC in 09

Graft

Pop Core Matrix
A consistent flex profile with a ton of energy return

StraightBiax Carbon Laminate
The jib-friendly feel of biax with the added ollie pop of carbon

SinterTrue Base
A porous sintered structure for speed and glide

Impact Plates™

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
im leaning more torwards the agent because of the faster base and it has more pop, so its generally better all around but the graft has true twin, ive never tried true twin before but heard its good, what would you go for?
ive found a graft in 149
and an agent in 152 but am still looking to find one in a smaller size

both are really good boards. what kind of riding are you looking to do?

mainly park but some groomers was just about to buy the graft as i found one for a nice price but the site doesn't ship to the uk so thats down the drain. Cant find a Rome Agent 149 anywhere theres only 152's and thats on sierra but everyone says that way too big for me. id say i do about 70% park 30% groomers. you know any good sites that ship to uk and have either of these in stock.

oh yeh would a 149 be ok and would i even notice the 3 cm difference on the agent cause i can get one for 224$ at 152

Do you dick around on rails or jumps more. If you do more boxes or rails the Graft is a better choice. Although the graft is still fun on jumps. Or at least that's my perception.

dude you keep making threads, just pull the fucking trigger already. the board's not going to define you as a rider.
