even for jumping the dom is wayy to soft. its a noodle all it can do is jib and cruising around the mountain will not be fun on that thing. id try to find an atomic hatchet. the hatchet is a freestyle board that is perfect for rails and jumping, but is stiffer than the dom so itll ride well on the rest of the mountain. you can find last years hatchets pretty cheap online, so look around. you could also look into a capita stairmaster, which is a very similar bpard to the hatchet.
