Well put my friends brand new p1 bindings on my board today to try them out (he can't use them til xmas cuz they don't fit on his current board.) Anyways leave it out to go in and eat, come out its gone. 45 mins later my friends gets stolen.

Anyways I had a Shaun White (06-07 model has a yetti on it) 152cm. It was the perfect board for me, but it is expensive, and mommy and daddy are not forking up money again. So basically what I am looking for is an all mountain freestyle board as burton calls them. I need a board that is built for the woods. I love the woods/ungroomed terrain. I am not really into freestyle, but I think it would be nice to get a feel for it this year. I don't need a "freeride" board, I can make it down a groomed hill just fine, don't need a board designed to do it.

So I guess I am asking, what is a good board to tear through the rough stuff but can still handle the jumps and rails.

Oh and I already have Rome 390 bindings coming my way, was going to put it on my shaun, but it got stolen

Looks good but I think I need a 152. I weigh 110 and 5' 9". I have a weird ass body, so getting the right size is hard.

Atomic Alibi. Just ordered one for myself yesterday. Centered stance on board and it's a twin tip, so it's not directional. Great pop, fairly stiff, but not to the point where it's too much for rails n' stuff. Basically it's the type of board where you don't need multiple situational boards in your quiver. great park board but also great for everything else! look into it, do some research
