So I'm in the market for a new board. I've been looking at boards for the past month or so and have come up with a few choices. I'm considering the Bataleon - Distoria, Forum - Spinster, or the Never Summer - Pandora. I'd just like some input on whether these boards are good and if they'd suit me. Im an advanced rider, except for park. I just started to seriously get into park for about the past 2 seasons. Defiantly looking for a board that'll help me step up my park game but still every once in awhile I can take it and tear up the whole mountain. I'm about 5'8" and 135lbs, thinking about sizing down a little bit and goin for a 149 or so, but I'm a little iffy with that cuz I wear size 9-10 boots and I don't know if the board would be too small for that? Any suggestions on the boards or different ones would be greatly appreciated, I love hearin input from my fellow girlies!

Hey there, the Bataleon and the Never Summer sound great choices for advanced park riding, as of what I've heared. Isn't the Forum Spinster rail specific? It might not be the best choice for allaround riding.

I once tried K2 Darkstar 154 and I liked it a lot. Normally I'm on K2 Fling 146. Darkstar is a mens's board but it was really fun and solid. You're taller than me/bigger boot size and have better park skills than me, so maybe it would suit you:)

good luck and let us know what you bought.

Thanks! I checked out your board and the darkstar and really liked what I read. But... I decided to go with the bataleon distoria. Definatly has everything that I want, and an added plus of having sick graphics! I have a huge obsession with animal print so I was stoked when I saw what it looked like. My sister is actually going to get the never summer pandora and she's just about the same height as me, so we plan on switching boards every once in a while :)
