Best Freestyle/Park Board Under $500 - Snowboarding Forum

02-01-2010, 01:53 PM

I am looking for a freestyle park board, I have been looking at Capita Ultrafear FK. But im afraid it might be too soft for jumps. I dont have any clue as to what im looking for. I want something soft but with enough pop for jumps. I am just getting into park so 15' jumps are all im hitting right now. I am 5'8" 120lbs, thinking about maybe a 148? could be too small though? maybe a 151? If anyone can point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated!

Personally I would pick either a Ride Machete LE, DH2 or Neversummer EVO-R
