Hey guys im new this forum!
I have been looking around for a new board for this season and these 2 are the ones i have been looking at! Im going to be doing alot in the park. Im from canada and im not too familiar with any shops from canada carrying good park boards. So i wanna hear your guys thoughts on between the BLUNT or Skate banana? or your own suggestions:D (im 6'1 175lbs)

nothing special about the blunt. the edges of the topsheet on mine are destroyed. but if this is your first board, don't get the banana, try to get a cambered board because it teaches you to snowboard better than a reverse camber. only get a RC board after you can ride a cambered. if I were you, I would get a Bataleon board. they have this thing called triple base technology which I a cambered board, but its kinda like rockered from edge to edge. I don't know if you get what I'm saying. This explains it TRIPLE BASE TECHNOLOGY complete video - YouTube

Don't know about the Blunt. I have the Skate Banana. It revolutionised my riding. (i.e. - doesn't suck) It is amazingly grippy on ice - there is no more effective grip technology than Mervin's.
What sort of park?? Big jumps maybe not either of the two you suggest. Jibbing and buttering are the Skate Banana's strong points. I thought the Evil Twin was a fair bit stiffer than the Skate Banana. For landing bigger jumps and a bit more all mountain freindly maybe the Evil Twin or something like the Never Summer Proto. The Never Summer Evo is a firm forum favourite (nice use of alliteration!) and awesome in the park flexier than the Skate Banana (if you were going for the 56)
