Mostly been a piste rider.  just started progression parks this year, and am looking to improve there and go on to big boy parks, and freestyle.  I love the presses and butters and such out on the regular slopes too.

  Been on the Rossi trickstick, which i absolutely loved but it was only a 154 regular, I am told that is way too small for me, though I didnt feel it at the time.  not sure if the ampteck is the identical to the rockers or not it has camber between the bindings i guess, not like most rockers? but I loved it.  My problem is that they mostly offer only up to 158 for the MW model.  And I have not been on another rocker board, so I would be worried about buying that and it not performing as well.

My other two boards i am looking at are the K2 anagram 161 or so W, or a Neversummer SL, or Revolver, If I can get the right price.

I am wondering out of the NS boards which would most recommend, but because price probably will be a factor, I am also wondering out of the Rossi or K2 what would most recommend.

i am 6’2   215lbs and my snowboard boots are 11.  I wear a tennis shoe 13 US.

Thanks all for any input.

The Revolver sounds like the board that’ll meet your needs for progressing in the park and for cruising around the groomers too. I’d look at the 159 or 161.
