I am 5´10. Almost 190 pounds, I am working on 720s and mobes.

I like air tricks.

Don't care if I dont wheelie on top of rails. Normal presses are more than enough.

I love kickers, I try to go as big as I can.

Given my description. What board you guys think fits me better?

Thanks heaps!!!!!

Deluxe between those two, but I would also recommend looking at Slingshots for more durability

I demoed the oli board at the LFFFall and it was fast but very loose, the delux being the old peak is a great all around board for sure..you need a little grip for those powerful air tricks, so Deluxe is my vote..

Thanks for the input guys!

Every person I know of that has a LF either deluxe or raph has broken a board. You are right, is there something wrong with them in terms of durability?

I love the Jobe Conflict. Edges like it has fins for air tricks even though it doesn't. The softest landings off the big kicker boosts I've experienced from any board so far. Slicker than snot on the rails (which I love) when I got it, but starting to slow down a bit with wear, flexes great for pressing, and is rock solid. In the same time I've owned mine I completely destroyed a CTRL RX, but the Conflict shows almost no wear.
