Box Scratcher 145cm

I'm thinking of getting the 145cm box scratcher. I'm about 5'8" and 150lbs. I already know that with a smaller size board there will be a lost of speed which I don't mind since I will just use the board for park only. Will the 145cm box scratcher be able to support my weight? or Is the board to small for my height/weight? Any info would be of great help.

Any Differences between skate banana vs box scratcher

Also what is the difference between the skate banana vs box scratcher? I know both have mtx and rockers. Other than that both boards seem similar.

im exact same size as you but

im exact same size as you but one inch shorter. i have been riding the park all winter on the 152 banana. I absolutely love the board and i have no complaints. It is funny to see this post because I saw a box scratcher at the hill the other day and the dude riding it was 6'1. Anyway, because i have been getting better in the park i think i want the box scratcher just to make life easier there, and I think 145 will be perfect. So, i will soon have both and I cant think of a better 2 board combo. If you are already strong in the park, get the 152 banana, its a treat. Definitaly not the 156, that would defeat the purpose.

Got a blue 148cm

I was looking for a box scratcher but since it was sold out (middle of jan) at the time, I decided to get the 152 blue banana. I loved it so much that I decided to drop down to the 148. It's so much easier to whip around than the 152. Its "BANANAS"!

My Buddy

Is your size and has both boards... He LOVES them both!

Their are slight differences... The box has a extruded base and morning wood core....

The banana has a sintered base , power transfer internal sidewalls, and a h-pop core with banana specifics....

Hope that helps!
Get the scratcher and rip up the park!
