I used a K2 parkstar for a bit, not a terrible board, but certainly not something I want to be taking off the big hits. Perfectly fine board for mid winter jibbing sessions.
Had a 162 Burton Custom X with EST bindings, terrible system and I am overall not a fan of burton gear. I bought this board for powder days, so I bought it a good deal taller than my other boards, but unfortunately the EST system is such a load of non-sense that riding this board even down basic groomers was a chore.
The last board I had for an extended period of time was a bataleon goliath. This was also a very good board for me, but unfortunately did not hold up very well, partially due to abuse, partially because I believe the board is pretty fragile. Edge started to tear up, and core shots are way to easy.
Like I said I love my skatebanana, it is the perfect all round board for me, and since I just pick up the same board and ride it day-in day-out regardless of conditions it is exactly what I need.
