I currently am riding a Ride Fleetwood, and looking for a more freestyle board. I have been looking at three different boards: Ride DH, Nitro Team, and K2 Titan. If anyone has any suggestions let me know.

Yah those are the three, I'm looking at. I just dont know too much about forum. I've always heard they are good though. I really don't know too much about Nitro either, but if anyone has any information on them that would be great.

noliver, yeh forum are good as!!, i could help you out if you wanted a forum board. but the 3 boards i dont know to much about. i used to have a nitro and that crapped out after 2 seasons so ive gone right off them, ive never ridden a ride or a k2...but i would go for a ride rather than k2 but thats my opinion, good luck

I like the DH alot. Hebbel and Mathes are two of the world's greatest riders, and they love it... Uhh, I had a Nitro a while ago and liked it quite a bit, but then sold it and it broke the next day. I think they aren't super durable but ride good. Aaand I would stay away from K2, never had good experiences with that. Like Dragon hinted at, there are lots of other sick companies to check out.

What boards from Capita and Forum are good freestyle boards, and what do I need to do about riding a narrow board with a size 12 shoe.

Umm don't do it!!! You need a wide board, something at least 26.5 in the waist..

be careful with Forum. If you can get one for cheap go for it, but I have heard most of their stuff is pretty poor quality. I personally like Option and you can never go wrong with a Burton.

I think I have broken at least 1 burton board every season for the last 6 seasons....but at least they warranty it every time Very Happy

The season before that I broke 6 K2's in one season.

My unity has held up nicely for 3 seasons now....I am pretty sold on their quality if you are looking for a durable board.
