no one can just sit hear and rattle off boards that you would like...it's all about the research/desire/roc vs corp/ MOST importanly personal preference

basically do a few searches, or tell us your weight/height and we can make suggestions..

if you just want to know what boards are out that 'people' like then search it or I'm sure people will tell you

ps. i <3 the k-39, lots of people <3 the integs, some <3 the Sattelyte's, others <3 their cassette's, and then you have Oak, and Distortion, out of those Oak seems preferred because they are more 'traditional' style boards...and then theres Omen, which from the looks/sounds of things is in a class of it's own

good luck...

05 byerly looks sweet but a bi- level is like silver in the mine

i weight bout 135 and am 5'7. the reason i was thinking bi-level is because i heard it gets great pop.

p.s. plllllease do not buy a L13. Well, the "Superstar" at least. That is one really badly shaped deck... It's rocker is non-existant, and it pops like a 50 lb log. After riding this deck, and then hopping back on to my Integrity - the L13 feels like garbage. Wouldn't recommend it

s34n, that's a shame to hear, I always thought L13 would have a quality product Sad

Hold off for a few months and check out The Integrity Taylor model. It will be either a 39.5" or 40".

I think it would suit you good.

im definitly gunna wait and see that new integrity model it sounds ridiculous but until then im not sure if i read on this site or somewhere else that you can take the foam off ur deck and pick griptape on it. Is this possible or am i just dillusional.
