What board size/length?

I know know anything about the Venue, but I absolutely LOVE my Ronix Ibex!

Well dont know if sacrificing the right sizing for a certain board is worth it. You can probably find a board that would fit your style and price range i another company. I might suggest a Liquid Force Shane 136.

What? 6 ft. 155 lbs and you guys are tellling him to get a 136 over a 140? No way! Get the 140 for sure. Granted it won't make a huge difference but I'd definitely say get a 140.

I would highly discourage you from buying anything smaller than a 140.

This guy hasn't mentioned skill level at all. I wouldn't reccomend this board to a beginner learning to jump. The pop was explosive to me.

I agree with the 138 and up, 140 should be great for you.
