All Mountain....ish Board Help
Posted on 21:09 by Immigration

So, I've been riding a K2 Format for about six years. It's a beginner's board, very stiff, but it's served me really well. Unfortunately, it's a beast and a half to ollie, so I've not spent much time in the park.
With the rest of this season, I want to start getting a bit more freestyle. My wife and main riding buddy are both very much just all mountain cruisers, so I'm trying to decide what to do boardwise. I probably won't push it too hard in the park, but it'd be nice to get some jibs in between cruising around. I especially just want to get used to ollies in the middle of my ride for fun. In contrast, it's kind of a tradition with a buddy to bomb the ever-loving god out of some steep runs at the end of the day.
I got to try out a parkitect last weekend, and I freaking loved it. I didn't really bomb any runs with it, though, and it maxes out at 157. I'm a 220 pound, six foot tall dude, so 157 might be too short.
So I've been looking at:
Burton Parkitect
Arbor Coda
Burton Custom Restricted
Never Summer Proto
Arbor Blacklist.
So first question is just: Anyone got any specific advice/thoughts?
And then the second question is broader: Which do I sacrifice first, some of that aggressive all mountain control, or some of that pop for jumps?
Oh, and I can get the Coda for 30% off because I know someone at a store who sells them, but they don't sell any of the others. That's not the biggest break for me, I'd rather buy what I"ll love, but all things equal it helps.
