I have narrowed my search for a new board to a HL Premier. I am a 160lb intermediate with sights on doing inverts and 360's soon. After riding a few boards (see notes below), I determined that I have the most fun and am most consistent on the Premier. I have only ridden the 141 BIO core with the jib (rubber type base). Questions: - Should I go with a 136 or 141? - How different will the standard base ride compared to the jib? Will this effect length choice? I don't believe the bio boards will have the jib base available for '05. Thanks for the input. Thoughts on other boards: '02 HL Belmont 140 - first board, easy to ride but has minimal pop and feels big compared to new boards. '04 HO Revelation 135 - good pop, tracks well and flickable '05 HL ERA 137 - did not like this board, feels slow and does not like to release '04 Byerly 137 - second best choice, good pop, tracks and lands well '04 Premier 141 - my favorite, good pop, loose feel and was able to land all my tricks first try
