Jumps, rails, butter - Snowboarding Forum

Hey all, whats a good board that does well in jumps, rails, butter? I know to butter, you need a good soft board. Would a soft board do good in rails and jumps also? Are these 3 considered a "park" board? Any help would be appreciate, thanks!

Try searching the forum a bit. Youll be amazed at what you find. Theres been numerouse threads in just the past 2 weeks about park boards. You want something not to stiff for butter but not to soft for jumps.

yup, been searching. seems like Arbor Draft is good for the park + buttering. but on the other hand, some say the Westmark is good cause it does the buttering/park decent AND is good for all mountain cruising, which is a plus! hmmmmmmmmmm

also, maybe Signal Park Rocker? I read its a noodle. Must be bad in groomed trails for some cruising?

i like the signal park camber but the rocker is too extreme for going big. generally speaking a board that is good on rails and for buttering wont perform all that well off big jumps. so if u wanted something to do both id say go with a stiffer board that will be more stable. ull still be able to butter and your jibbing wont really suffer.
