We have no info to go on... Where you usually ride, how experienced you are, what size you are, etc. How can we help if we have no info?!?

Do not buy the 5150.

I haven't ridden the Swindle but I think it has gotten decent/favorable reviews. The Drift Rocker is an OK park board. I didn't love it. But it would be good if you're a park rat.

Mostly parks... Im intermediate i guess.. Im doing some normal jumps and rails..
My foot is 44 - 45 europe size. Im 180 tall.

I guess cheaptrick would be the best as much as i have made research on internet. Its flexible (i hope not too soft) and durable. Also good for my riding level.

what do you think?

What's your weight? The Nitro 148 cm is designed for somebody about 55 kg, it might be too short.

Out of your list the Salomon would likely be the better sizes in the mid 150 cm range (assuming you're more like 70+ kg)

i know that boards lenght has to be around 155 ... i weigh 75 or so.

My favourite one so far is the Rome Cheap Trick , because of the good reviews and everything like that. You know anything about that board?
