Bataleon Evil Twin
I don't know why but I always had a fascination with this one, probably because I like black yellow unlike wiz khalifa of course but lets just say it works it's a jib stick by all means but I like the cool name and the simple graphics. It has been around for years but the triple base technology has it's fans the rocker is catch free and the pop is magical, so if you want a board with traditional camber and a catch free rocker to rock around the park this one is definitely for you.

Lib Tech Birdman
This is a very ineteresting board form me I'm not a big fan of powder and freeride (or I should just tell you the truth and admit that I'm rubbish at it :)) The Birdman replaced the long running Snow Mullet. Its a specialty ultra deep powder board for riders who already know what
they are looking for. The Birdman is basically the most un-sinkable
powder board out there. If you like a caddy type feel and ride in ultra
deep snow this is one of the only choices you have for ultra big
boards. It might not be a looker it's a sort of love it or hate it board, but if you need a specific deep powder board you won't go wrong with this cool board.

Roxy Ally
I think it's time for a Female board again and isn't she a beauty. Ladies and Gentlemen I give you the beautiful Roxy Ally
You look at it and you think it's a mess and it is, but it is a beautiful mess on another note this is a good board. This is pro slopestyle competitor Kjersti Buaas’ accomplice for all-condition event. This is a great Beginner to Intermediate all mountain freestyle board. This board will really help you discover almost every aspect of the park but if you are looking for something to learn mostly mountain riding you should probably look elsewhere.

Burton Barracuda
This is a bit of a strange on it's sort of love or hate for me looks strange but cool at the same time, tho I have to tell you the name sells the board for me. This board is a child of Burton Malolo and the Burton Supermodel. The Barracuda's ride is a very nice blend of the 2 discontinued boards
and this is a great choice for any intermediate to expert freerider who
lives for powder, morning groomers and good condition riding. So this is a sort of a mixed bag but i have to say I'll stay away from the strange and delve into the cool.
Salomon Man's Board
The reason why I like is because it's a man's no I'm just kidding it's just the marketing gimmick. This is the board with the unique beer inspired graphics it is the performance that will make you a happy
customer. Despite having Cork and Bamboo sidewalls the Man’s board is
built like a brick house. It's a very good all conditions ride. The waist width is a little wider so it's a good Mid
sized boot choice for those riders right in between a regular size board
and a mid/wide board. This is a cool board it's an award winner as well this board is a 2012 Good Wood Award Winner for All - Mountain Snowboards over 400$ so I think this board brings a lot of bang for your buck.
Never Summer Evo
This board has been a giant of Never Summers freestyle commitment to
snowboarding. The Evo is made for park-play and it is very good at it.
It's not great on the mountain but it is decent for such a soft
board, Never Summer boards are great in almost every condition. The
one complaint is when the conditions are firm the Evo R looses that
feeling of stability when you are one footing or flat basing. It's a nice looking board looks a bit menacing which definitely is a good thing. I really like the web structure of the graphics bring together with death and you have a winner which scores well on my cool boards chart.
Lib Tech Skate Banana
You just have to add this one, this as I think is a classic the design has improved over time which is a great thing. The Skate Banana started it all in the rockered park board world.
The Skate Banana's loose, soft and playful it is perfect for someone who loves to play in the park. The worst thing about is that it can't handle speed compared to most hybrid shapes there is a doubt in the carving ability. This does the job in the park very well. It just takes some getting use to. The Skate Banana has a rep that is beyond it's performance but it is still a great all around freestyle board. It might have some issues but as park play-board it's very nice and I have to say the graphics look a lot cooler than on the original one.
