Hey i just got a GNU Riders choice 09/10 and am not sure if i should keep it or trade it in for a Burton Custom V-Rocker.

That's a toss up imo....

Would you get a store credit or something?

Have you looked into other companies to trade up to?

well my dad works at rei so i got it there. but i would get store credit or a full refund not sure.

Ah gotcha

Does REI have Never Summer, Capita, or Forum boards by chance?

I know they don't have Bataleon....

If your set on the Burton or GNU, it's a toss up imo.

And i tend not to go into the park so what would be the best choice then.

I'm not a Forum wiz, but I would put Ride and Forum far ahead of both GNU and Burton for mostly personal reasons.

Both Forum and Ride make sick boards, but it seems like everyone has either a GNU or a Burton board.

If you ride on the east coast maybe a GNU with Bananatraction isn't a bad idea for you though.....

Otherwise I would look into an all mountain Forum or Ride board.
