Board Decision

I've been going crazy trying to decide on a new deck for this year. I live in Ontario so I'm mostly riding park (pipe, rails, bonks, booters) on hardpack. I'm 5'7" and 135lbs. looking for a slightly stiffer board. For the last few seasons I've been on a Nitro Team 152 and have enjoyed it but I'm looking for another brand. My choices right now are:
Lib Tech Skate Banana 152
Burton Love 152
Burton Jeremy Jones 151
Rome Graft 151
Ride Society 151
Rome Agent 152

Any feedback?

I heard

that the graft is an amazing board. Might not be stiff enough. I don't know how stiff is "stiff."
How can hip-hop be dead if Wu-Tang is forever?

graft

is "looser" than the agent, the agent is a mid to stiff flex board. i like it much better than the graft.

Damn!

Whats with all the hate! The Graft does still have a ton of guts and plenty of play, but i plan on running a Rome Agent this year. If you are ridiing a high calibur board like your previous stick, why not make an upgrade to the Agent?

stay away

from the skate banana. pieces of shit. you dont want one.

and you wonder

why you have a bad reputation and people respond negatively to your "advice" i have heard nothing but the best words about the skate banana - sure it isn't for everyone - but it performs amazingly in powder - it does really well on jumps, and pretty well on rails - it is the first true all around board -

i throughly recommend the skate banana

were exactly....

do you get your info pal? have you rode one yourself. talked to someone who had rode one. or did your friends brothers mom say they suck???

SHUT the HELL UP

you are FULL of SHIT. you say one thing to one person and then advise someone else the complete opposite. you're telling this person the skate banana is a piece of shit yet you tell this other person ( http://www.snowboard-mag.com/node/25888 ) different and it seems that you are even planning on getting one yourself. no wonder everyone rips you a new asshole any chance they get. then you whine like a little bitch, when they drop it on you. grow the fuck up and stop using the "it's my opinion" bullshit that you have preached on many occasions and i hope you don't use the "sarcasm" line or the one where you say, i just don't want people to go out and buy one because I want one and don't want them to be sold out. you are fucken annoying.

if....

he did this so they dont sell out... he should be banned from this site.

dude, chill the fuck out. its

dude, chill the fuck out. its just a joke. i should be banned from the site for making a joke?

read

its hard to READ sarcasm, and it is hard to READ jokes on a non-conversational based website where you answered a question... when you answer like that it is taken a straight opinion not as a JOKE

Exactly. (Not to mention you

Exactly. (Not to mention your reputation precedes you after certain other threads.)

uhh

seemed like pretty obvious sarcasm if you keep an eye on this sight. Its turning into Transworld. Noooooo!

dude

ive been all over this site premoting the hell out the skate banana. so if you read my other comments or looked at my page you would know its sarcasm.

ok

not everyone will take the time to search all over the site for all your comments. especially someone who is new to the site like rmenegg. your comment could have made rmenegg not want to purchase a banana skate and cause lib tech to file chapter 11. (see that last line, that's a better example of sarcasm.)

whatever, its the lack of snow thats most likely the cause of all this bs. come on winter.

you dont have to serch all ov

you dont have to serch all over this site. go to my page... look at what board ill be riding next year.

listen

my points are:

1. most likely the person is not always gonna check out your profile to verify if you are being sarcastic or not. a person asks a question and you give them an answer.

2. i was showing you why people rip on you.

3. you're not getting it.

Exactly

I dont feel like I should have to do background research on every single post I comment on. If I am replying to an asinine comment that someone makes I dont think their comment history is really of much relevance.

plain and simple a new member asked a question and againstme answered it in such a way that could make a new member feel unwelcome.

i agree with you completely 888

I thought the same. x2

I thought the same.

Man, this must be the slowest train wreck in the history of the interweb, I jumped off the train two days ago, but it continues to crash. I can't stop reading, best entertainment of the summer.

I CAN'T WAIT FOR WINTER>>>>>>

this conversation has gone o

this conversation has gone on way to long. i was being sarcasic, people who go on this site know i was. on the post before this i spent an hour answering this kids questions he had on the skate banana. it was titiled ONE MORE QUESTION TO PICK YOUR BRAIN.

"has gone long enough"

and yet you continue to drag on. "i was being sarcasic, people who go on this site know i was." REALLY???? please someone make a poll.

hahaha, im not going to make

hahaha, im not going to make a fucking poll to prove i was being sarcastic. if its so important to you make it your self. paste my comment and ask dose anyone think this is sarcasm?

oh man,

talk about taking life so serious.

:D :D :p :D :D

you are so punk rock.

you shouldn't be banned dude.If you were banned I could never call you a Douchebag.Douchebag.

yeah

because im claiming to be so fucking punk.

"sarcasm" like a joke. haha,

"sarcasm" like a joke. haha, funny. of course i dont think the banana is piece of shit and yes im going to try to get one. i said that because i think the banana will be hard to come by. it was just a fucking joke.

just a joke??

then for the sake of the visitors on this site, stop trying to be a comedian. you lack the skills.

mayby you just take life to s

mayby you just take life to seriously.

serious?????

if that was the case i wouldn't be alive right now. i laugh at everything and anything. in fact, i'm here laughing at you. :D :D

i think the problem is your j

i think the problem is your just a dumbass. youve read where ive answered other kids comments on the banana. than you said, "not everyone has the time to look over evryones comments." well obviously you did because in your first comment you stated, "you tell one kid one thing, than tell another kid something else."

yeah ok kid

the reason i am aware of what you said is because i read the posts almost daily. i sure as hell didn't know you were being sarcastic. that's why i called you out. hold on....hmmm, for someone who claims to read on malcom x, karl marx, darwin, stephen biko, hewey p. newton. denis kucinich, i would have assumed that you would be at a level where you would understand what i and everyone else has been trying to make you understand. i hope you are truly understand the message behind those books if indeed you read them or did you just write those names down because the girl you have a crush on has mentioned those names to you.

:D :D :D

what the fuck are you talking about?

i said a simple sarcastic line. how dose me making a little joke have anything to do with malcom x or denis kucinich? yeah, because cute teenage girls know alot about revolutionist.

damn kid

you look like you are just out there to pick a fight. now you are bringing gender, beauty and intelligence into this? wow thats "revolutionary" of you. aren't people who hold your interests - im assuming radical politics, originating philosophies, and revolutionary ideals would know that the people who are famous in those fields were all about equality and justice for everyone, including people of other genders, races, creeds, and beliefs.

im bringing gender, beauty an

im bringing gender, beauty and inteligence into this? im on here trying to start a fight? hahahahahhahhhhhhhhhhh! i havent started shit with anyone on this post. i said one simple "joke" and everyone on here is still on my ass because of one sarcastic line. if i would have known it upset so many people i would have never posted it. oh, and i never claimed to be a revolutionist did i?

calm down, its ok,

here, i'll hold your hand...breathe in deeply, slowly breathe out...now do that one more time. ok, just read your comment that i'm replying to, then read my reply. read it slowly and calmly. hopefully, now you understand. malcom, kucinich and all the others i mentioned have nothing to do with this whole conversation. i merely mentioned them to elucidate that everything that has been said to you should not be difficult for you to understand, if you read and understand such books. simple. :)

:D :D

obviously your not very calm.

obviously your not very calm. if you were you wouldnt be getting so upset over a little comment.

hahhahaha

not calm? i've been super chilled. if you were to take your time and read properly, you would have noticed how i began speaking to you very calmly. I was trying to console you, give you some tender loving care, even holding your hand. you know, baby you...put you in a comfort zone so that hopefully you could understand. guess it didn't work.
:D :D :) :)

well cuz

you rode a team with Biax glass i'd step up to a Agent. That Boards my vice.

"collective addiction"

Get the king!

In Japan, the banana is the king of fruits... I'd get the Banana!

Agent/Sk8Bannana

You cant go wrong with either, I myself have ridden my friends agent and it was amazing, not as soft as I prefer but still an amazing park board. As for the Sk8 Banana I have heard nothing but the best about it, either choice would be great. Good Luck!

Prepare For World Domination

///™ my two cents...

all the boards you have listed above, rmenegg, are nice choices.

however, with your weight and height why not try a skate banana (which by the way, for many claiming lib pioneered reverse camber, they didn't. thank the ski companies for this creation.)?

the banana looks straight-up fun to shred on.

the only people i would recommend staying away from reverse camber boards (or even skis for that matter) are peeps in the 190lbs. plus range (the reason being is that the tail becomes less supportive when you weigh more).

er what

you got to be kidding this discussion is lame you all should be gaffled just for contributing.
If you dont agree just try to read this from the begining. truthfully if you are going for a board around the size of 151 ish you should rally check out the new snotech split tail. RADICAL
