Hi everyone

I own a 157 Lib Tech Jamie Lynn 2008/2009 and I love it for all round riding. I had a Capita Mid Life 155 for the park but I broke it. Ive been using the 157 in the park but would love something smaller for jibbing and fun stuff in the park. How short can I go?

Im 5'11 and 160-170lbs (70 kg) and my boots are 9.5 Salomon Dialogues. Ive met people who have boards as small as 142 and they say they love them. Do you think I can go down to say 151 or something?

Also, what would you recommend.

I demoed the Capita Horrorscope 155 2010 board and I loved it, so much fun. Also tried the Salomon Arnie 154 (didnt like their new edge thing, too grippy) and the Bataleon Evil Twin 155 (nice board but a bit stiff).

Any other ideas?

Bataleon Airobic in a 155. Its softer than the evil twin. I think a 154ish would be a great all around park size for you. 158 is good for all mountain and pow. 151 for straight jibbing.
