Basically it boils down to, Do you want a discount or not? If price is an issue, buy an 04's because shops will be trying to get rid of them to make room for the 05's. If the "latest and greatest" is a must, and price is not the issue, then wait for the 05's. Personally, I think it's not a bad idea to stay one season behind, because I dont have anyway of demo-ing boards where I live. So I have to wait for reivews and such. Otherwise you can just read the manufacturer's description, because they would never lie and not tell you that the board doesnt track as well and doesnt have the pop as last years board. YEAH RIGHT!!!!!!
