Bataleon Evil Twin 2011 or K2 Darkstar 2010

Hey,

I need a new board for this season and will be riding plenty of park but will also venture out onto the piste every now and again.

I was thinking of getting this seasons ET until I saw a discounted Darkstar from last season, can anyone recommend one or the other?

Hi there Jables, welcome to the SB-R forums!

The Bataleon ET is a great park ride and reading the review here on our website you can be sure to go nowhere near wrong, buying this deck!

On the K2 front, I’d say the Darkstar’s brother, the Parkstar would be a better fit out of those two. Rockered version and a slightly softer flex for even more park enjoyment.

One more deck you could add to your list would be the NeverSummer Evo. It has won our King of Jib Competition this season (check out the video reviews for more informations) and might be a bit better on piste compared to the other two rides without really sacrificing anything in the park.

To sum this whole thing up: You definitely won’t go wrong with any of the above decks. They are all solid park rides and will provide you with some mad fun during your laps in the park!

Let us know what you think,
Tobi
