Intermediate snowboard choice?

Here's the deal. I've been riding 6 seasons, agressively for 3.. and I have a 5150 vice, which isn't gonna do it for me next year. I have burton boots and bindings (07 moto's and 08 missions) but I'm not sure about the board. I'm leaning towards three companies: Burton, Rome, and Ride. I've checked out Gnu's site, and they seem good, but don't provide as much info as Burton or Rome do.


Let me tell you about my riding style. I do basically everything.. piste, powder, groom, glades, ice (unfortunately), and park. I push myself to my limits when riding groom and sometimes pow/piste, going as fast as I can and carving short, quick turns. the thing is, I sometimes feel that my 5150 is limiting me. I also started park at the end of last season, I do natural jibs all the time, as well as boxes and rails. I'm also looking at gettign into jumps.


In short, I need a board that dominates the mountain, but can hold it's own in the park. Budget's no problem, as I'm getting it next year.

Reply:I personally am a huge fan of the Ride boards. I always felt like I was more in control on a Ride for some reason. Thats just my personal opinion. Hope that helps. Good luck.
