The agent is awesome because it is soft but you can still ride powder and carve on it rather sweeeeetly. It's still not as soft as my Artifact though which shall be making a rare appearance on the hill next weekend. Butter tastic chaps  |

evil twin is basically the sh*t in the park, i tested one in verbier and its just so easy, landing kickers is awesome, not going to catch an edge easy on land.
although if you take of and initiate your spinf with the tail edge of the board your gonna have to change your technique a bit
its amazing for butters aswell although it is a bit stiff in the nose and tail because of the base construction |

I have last years Ried DH DFC and think it's really stiff (tho it does glow in the dark), I'm not sure if the same can be said of the '08 board as I've made a concious effort not to look!
Matt has a Rome Agent and it flexs like a crazy thang! I didn't get a chance to ride it but I've been looking at getting my hand on a cheap end of season one.
Tho if there is something just a "poppy" and butters like a... well a butter knife I would be interested for recommendations!  |

| Word from local shop is that Forum have taken their eye off the ball, & Devun jumped ship - not saying a rider leaving spells doom by any means, but it adds to the evidence. His graphic on his DC 2009 board is a sheep jumping a fence, leaving a barren wasteground to reach green lush pastures - speaks volumes. |

| I'm the same height as yourself, same sized feet and a little heavier at 13 stone. I ride a 159cm Atomic Hatchet. Great for pulling off nose and tail presses and so easy to spin too. This would be my pick for a park/jib board. |

Forum Manual
Never ridden one, but it sounds like what you're after:
Primed and ready to satisfy all your deepest, darkest jibbing desires.
Last season we conveniently enough called this jib board, The Jiblet. For 2008 we switched up the name, added two new lengths, and whipped up some high gloss, two-toned jibtastic madness graphics to keep things fresh. Aside from those few tweaks, The Manual stayed the same and continues to serve as the ultimate true twin jib stick.
Jibmonkey has one for sale in a 150. |

Everyone will generally recommend what they ride!
However, I will do thge opposite
I have a Capita Stairmaster, its a great board and has a good following, but I personally find it to stiff.
My choice of jib boards was limited due to having big feet if this wasnt the case I would have gone for a "Bataleon Evil Twin"
As well as those mentioned above are the usual suspects..,
Rome Artifact
Burton Dom
Ride Kink

153 apo selekta...now let that be the end of it...i wont have it heard that there are other freestyle boards out there as good as that.
note: theres other good freestyle boards but u wont go wrong with the selekta and its decently priced too. |

K2 WWW is great fun, bendier than a drunk contortionist and the edge length means you can get a board 5cm shorter than you'd normally.
I'm 5"8, 12st 4 and ride an X158 for freeride. My WWW is a 151. Spin and jibtastic!  |

| Looking to get a second board to start learning tricks and doing some park riding. Not very clued up on these boards so some advice is needed. I've seen a Rome Cheap Trick and a Technine Jib which I can afford, what are the + and - of these boards? Also I'm 6'1'' and12st 7lbs with size 9.5 feet, my freeride board is a 159, what size board should I go for? |
