> Longer boards tend to do better at high speeds. Most use a shorter board for park/pipe. I’ve ridden shorter boards and IMO they aren’t as stable at high speeds. On the other hand I tend to have a little bit of trouble turning my 156 at lower speeds, but I like to ride fast. Lol, it could also be that I weigh 125lbs and and 5’8".

I want a more agile board. I feel I would benefit more from a shorter to medium sized board…i foresee myself doing park and tricks in the future (when i used to skate at pipe dreams i whored the pipe like it was no one elses business 🙂 )
