Under $500

I'm pretty much looking for park friendly board that has a nice flex to it, is somewhat lightweight, is great on jibs, kickers, etc etc. It should have a nice design. That's important to me. I wouldnt like to get a shitty car that goes 200mph. I like LOOKS and PERFORMANCE. Oh and a board with great pop

Used a skate banana last season and want something new this season.

Don't want a noodle and don't want a rock. Somewhere right in the middle perhaps like a 3/10 or 4/10 or 5/10. The reason why I want a rather soft board is because I'm more of a street and jibbing kind of guy. However, I do occasional jumps and I don't want to destroy a noodle board off a 15+ kicker. So something playful, but can also handle jumps. But keep in mind, kickers/jumps aren't my priority. Park jibbing and street sessions are.

What I like to mess with:

-rails
-kickers
-jibbing
-Lunch tables
(I'm more of a street guy) BUT I also like big kickers


About me:

-5'11
-170lbs
-size 11
-union force bindings

Did you start a new thread cause we were telling you to learn if you can't press your Nanner? Yeah still that.

If you want a new board though, and actually you should cause the Banana is garbage, then sure.

Though you're not winning points by disregarding a board cause of graphic. The Blacklist is one of the greatest park boards of all time. And you can reference my post in your other thread for what I suggest to you.

How are we supposed to know what constitutes a "nice design" for you? You've been given probably the best choice (Westmark/Blacklist). Then why don't you tell us which designs are worth it to maybe sacrifice performance, so we can be of better help.

since you're picking your board based on graphics (which is fucking retarded) why don't you tell us the graphic style you like and then maybe we can pick you a board... what graphics do you like?

also, 15 foot jumps aren't shit - they won't "destroy" any board... if you tailblock a landing on any jump you will break boards, but that's just not knowing how to snowboard...

I just don't want a plain ass design. Like take the banana for instance, the top sheet graphic/color scheme is sexy AS well as the bottom.

The PRIORITY is to pick out a board for my specific style, then just leave the colors/graphic opinion to me.

So a board that I can use for 85% street, 15% jumps.

-rails
-lunch tables
-buttering
-jibbing
-jumps (not huge kickers)

Do you think the artifact rocker is a good choice for the description above?
