Best K2 park board

Posted: 06 November 2011 04:41 AM

I am looking for a new park board this upcoming season. I am 6’5 220 lbs with size 14 feet so i need a wide board. I spend most of my time in the park. This season I am getting a new board and I’m not sure what the best K2 board is for park riding. Any suggestions?

The best park board that K2 makes in my opinion is a toss-up between the Lifelike and the Fastplant. Team tester Tom really rates the lifelike as a great kicker board. The Fastplant was my favorite park board of last season, it’s lively, stable and incredibly fun and the 5yr warranty against core breakages is a definite plus for any riders of 200lbs+. Rich

I’d probably throw my vote to the Fastplant.  It’s got the Jib Rocker profile so the early rise tips will help with buttering and be more forgiving if you don’t throw your 3’s all the way around by accident.

Also it has an Ollie Bar tech this season which they say adds more pop.  Hopefully I’ll get to ride one this season (fingers crossed).
