Parks - 3 Stage Rocker
Belmont - Continuous Rocker

I got the parks because it has some mad kick, and when it's on edge it flys. But other than that I like the graphics on the parks, and well If i got a belmont I would have to get belmont bindings Razz

The Parks bindings are some of the most comfortable bindings I've ever been in. I've never ridden a belmont, but I do like my parks a lot.

Go with the 02 Belmont. You'll save some cash. The Belmont hasn't changed, they just put uglier graphics on it.
The Parks tends to punch through the wake alot.
Go with an Absolute dude. Rides better than both.

The best thing you could do is take both boards out for a ride and see which one you like the most. We can all tell you what we think is best, but that's because our opinion is biased towards our riding style. As for the cost of the two. I got my Parks DNA for less than the Belmont biolite but thats because I use to be an employee of the shop. Im sure you could work out a deal with the shop though.

definetly try both. if neither board fits your style, demo the premier. the premier isnt as aggresive as the parks, but not quite as mellow as the belmont. its a good go-between for the two totaly differnt styles.

I rode the Parks 90% of last season. Right at the end of the season, I got a Belmont........2 TOTALLY DIFFERENT BOARDS, BY FAR!!!!!!!!!
My suggestion is demo before you buy either. I personally liked the Belmont because it was a smoother, more consistent pop. It just did'nt have the vertical pop of the Parks.....which I liked. It just seemed like I could never get the thing dialed though, good pop, but unpredictable as all hell. JMHO!
Hope this helps!

I have the Belmont 136 bio and I really love it. The pop is very good and the landings are really soft. Kyle's right about the Parks it has a very unpredictable, but huge, pop.

Pope I'm pretty sure Kyle was referring to the Parks... The Belmont is very predictable and consistent...
