can anyone here recommend a soft, noodle-y board for learning to butter? not necessarily for a pure park board, maybe a shade of all mountain, but it has to be twin so i can also learn to ride switch.

reading up online today led me to either a Bataleon Airobic, an Arbor Draft, a Signal Park, an Endeavor Color or a Rome Artifact as possible choices. The board I'll get is not exclusive to these though, if there are better ones suggested out there. I'm also checking out the GNU Carbon Credit as a possible purchase.

thing is, i'm not a park rat, and given this will only be my second year riding, i've only ever stuck to groomers for all of my riding time, most notably Collins and the Upper and Lower Fork up in Cypress. i've read that park boards like these are pretty much mediocre outside the park which is understandable.

so can anyone help? thanks a lot!

PS.
also, mid-priced boards are preferred. I got my current Ride Control on sale for around $179 at sportchek, so i'm hoping i dont shell out $600 for something i use for 3 months in a year. online sites have boards for $399 but those are probably US only. I dont think i've seen a Bataleon Airobic on a canadian website for lower than $450...
