Park/speed board - Snowboarding Forum

03-04-2010, 08:05 PM

I'm looking into buying either a k2 parkstar, gnu park pickle, or maybe a k2 slayblade. I normally bomb steeps and bust out some eurocarves, but ride park every run, mostly boxes and medium jumps. Most of the time I ride hard pack, but also some occasional powder. I'm 5ft 7in weight 120lb, and have size 11 feet. The parkstar and pickle sound like they'll do well on the steeps, but the slayblade sounds like its still fine in the park and is great for speed. Any ideas?

i have a pickle. those boards you mentioned arent made to bomb steeps lol. you can go fast but they do get a little unstable.

pickle is a great board though.
