Since a lot of existing wood is on sale a few of the nice and shiny boards have come down into my price range. I'm debating whether to try and get a deal now or hold out until Aug-Sep.

The two I'm looking at are (I'm 154lb/70kg)
GNU Altered Genetics 156
K2 Slayblade 156

I'd say I've just started intermediate riding, in that I'm starting to ride pipe, kickers, sparse tree runs, slack country, and trying to get my 180s dialled in. Not really a rail guy.

If I get the AG or Slayblade will I end up getting ridden and bucked about on these machines, they sound pretty ballsy. Are these things difficult to progress on?

I maybe just hold out until later, I've been eyeing up that Jones Mountain Twin Split.
