I just scored a really nice Hyperlite Parks 143 Pro model with Parks bindings for $400. How'd I do?

i got the 2004 model of the same setup... overall i like it. the binding are nice and comfortable, and the board has nice pop... I got a good deal on it, so i went with that setup.

Crazy, i have the same setup. I just got both board and bindings last week. Board for 200+shipping and the 04 parks bindings for 220.

The hypes over. You should have bought a board that rides well and bindings with a soft foot bed and that don't tear. Always DEMO boards.

The way the board rides is a matter of opinion. Some love, some hate. Bindings are preference also. Consider this next time, prior to making a post.

You take things to seriously J-Rod. I am just merely suggestion he try a board that he doesn't require him to change his riding style. It is always beneficial to demo boards to find the one that works best for you, not one with a cool name.

I just bought an 03' Parks 143 DNA for 320. That's 1/2 what a new one costs. 03' Parks Biolites are goin for like 250 these days, so i think you did pretty good. 03' Parks Bindings are also like 220 so... you did pretty good... i dont know what some of the other guys on here are talking about, but I LOVE my new board. I was outperforming my old board which I now have come to hate due to my purchase of the heaven sent Parks board. Its hard to out carve this board, once you're on it, it stays there, i haven't once had it slip out on me, and i've been riding it for about 2 months now. Cheers on the purchase.
