Take a knife and carve a plank of wood out of the nearest tree. You will have the best board out there if you like it. The matter of the best board is the one that suits YOU the best not me. Personally i haven't found the best board yet. I have a TNT and i like it a lot but it needs a bit more weight. I have a legacy and i like it a lot but it could be better. I have numorous impulses and i like the shape a lot but it could have a bit more concave and not break in a day. I have a k39 and i wish it wasnt broken, it was such a fun board. I have ridden a omen and i liked it a lot but the 5 stage felt weird at first. I have rode a sattelyte and it felt good and solid, really no complaints. Same with Oak. I have ridden a deuce pop and i liked the feel a lot but it sill felt diffrent unfortunately didn't get a long enough ride on it to really explore the options. I just haven't found the magic board yet. Basically i need the feel of a wood board worth extra concave but the durability of a integ/omen. If someone builds that for me i will present them with a baby kangaroo.
But seriously ride what ever you thinks going to work best for you. there is no "Best Board"

che blanc is right.
The best board hasnt been made yet.
I think Integrity is on the right track with the direction of their products, but really I think that many companies are making the decks way too complicated.
These companies are ruining the simplicity of the sport with products like the Karma (barf) and all these bi level decks. Skating is simple. Make a deck with some concavity, decent but not too much weight, and let the riders do the work.

The board doesnt make you a rider, your riding does.

if I knew what the MOC of the year award was, I might actually care.....

and if you actually think riding bi levels and karmas are gonna elevate your skills, then I ll be sure and look for you on the podium at TOE JAM holding one of the wackest boards ever

W, dude some people that ride bi levels could call your board wack but they dont
moc=most outrageous comment of the year

W you have to be joking! just becuase you like simple shiat doesnt mean new boards dont work. its called progression. byerly learned back bigs on his new board, and others are learning new shiz as well. so dont hate cause your old school!

Dont ever confuse people with strong opinions for haters....

I never wrote that the bi levels dont work, I just wrote that I think they are whack...

Bi Levels are not revolutionary, they were invented by snowboard companies making snowskates about four years ago....

BUT just for all of you who type more than they ride, I'm inventing a new deck that actually hovers momentarliy when you stomp on the tail.....

Stole the technology from Marty McFly and Back to the Future....

Post your name below to receive a super secret bonus link to the board in production mode...

AND skatefilly, I SERIOUSLY DOUBT BYERLY JUST LEARNED BACK BIGS

W i am at work right now and just got done riding like i do every day before work so dont get me wrong i am not a kid who just post random shiat. but i am just sorda taken back by what you said. and snow skates also have a lot of backround thats all we do in winter. i know where your coming from stating that too many companies are trying to do new shiat but sometimes it takes that to find something that really does work. trial and error. and if it doesnt work the KARMA it is just forgotten about. so we all have opinions and i dont care if anybody says whatever they are feeling but seriously W, I want one of those super hover boards that you dont have to pump when marty gets stuck on the water. i think it was bttf 2, but i could be wrong. not hatten just feeling like it needed to be said.

W WOW MAN. Yeah, it's all about getting to that podium Rolling Eyes

Haven't you heard, bi-levels have already been on top of the podium at the stops this year! "whack" boards are taking over!!!

I skate a bi because I love the feel of it and that's what it's all about for me. I never said I skated a bi because I think it will land new tricks for me and you are an ass for putting those words into my mouth. I skate for me. Sounds like you skate for someone other than yourself...for that...I feel sorry for you. Go ride a LF sponge if you're not down with board design progression.

and it sounds like you ARE interested in MOC of the year. I'll be sure to nominate you as we approach the end of the year. Laughing
