Check out the 08 Sattelyte lineup, very solid. Should be ready around March (ish).

The LF Bi-Lvl(sorry I forgot the name)looks pretty sick. Just search for it and you should find it pretty easy.

i would definately recomend devotid if you want a bi level

or for a concave definately an integrity Twisted Evil

Why the bi-level vs. single level? What's the diff?

jflock2, it just depends on your opinion. lately i have been riding a devotid onward bi-level, and i love it. It flips very well, and the pop is great. I also enjoy a good concave, i have a sattelyte and i really like integritys. Its all opinion though. I stggest that you try out different kinds, and ride them for more than a set to really see if itll grow on you

I've definitely been eyeing the Devotid passion 41. I've been riding the Integrity deck for the past two years and love it, but really want to try and ride a heavier board.

Seems as if there is a migration to heavier boards this year - what are the advantages & disadvantages? Also, what is the best size to go with? I'm 5'10" and a buck sixty five.

jflock2, heavier boards take less board control and are harder to throw around, lighter boards need more board control but are easier to throw around(IMO).

what ever size you like is personal preference, im about 6'1'' and around 155 lbs and i love smaller decks, i ride a 39 integ and a 38 devotid.
