How does this board handle rails in the park? Too stiff, too...

By Ranked #170 - Freestyle Snowboards March 30, 2009

How does this board handle rails in the park? Too stiff, too much flex or what? Anyone with experience on that?
Also, I'm 6' 185, 12 boot. Is 158 the best, or can I downsize to 156W if I find a better price? Thanks much.

This would be a great board for the park. Stiffness wise it falls right in the middle, so a mid flex. You could downsize to the 156w no prob. I would however recommend a wide board no matter what size you choose because of your foot size. If you just bought a normal width board you may have the problem of toe and heel drag.
