Ok first off this isn't one of those "i weigh ___ pounds i'm ___ ft tall what board should i get?" threads. I'm doing my research, but i could always use more oppinions and info. So i'm going for a new setup this year... i used to ride a burton punch and i liked it. i think i'm goin for something that's pretty flexible... i'm 5'6 and 120 lbs and looking for something probably in the 150-154 range. I got the 06 transworld buyers guide and looked on the internet and came up with 16 boards i liked. I narrowed that 16 down to 11, which are red. I then took those 11 and found 4 that i liked the most. Now i am on to the check out in person and hopefully demo stages. But first i'd like your guys' oppinions. Here are the boards, and thanks in advance.

Oh crap my spreadsheet won't work on here... maybe i can find a way to attach it... so anyway... the 4 that i came down to are the Burton Dominant 150, CAPITA Shape Shifter 154, Forum JP walked 154, and the Nitro Team 152.

alright i got it. so the 4 remaining are red and bold. the 11 are red. i took the boards w/ a waist smaller than 24 cuz i have big feet. i also took out the 155's... i think they'll be a bit bigger than i'd like. i took out the stiffest boards because i like to flex my stick every once in a while. and moneys not important... i've saved all summer for a new stick.

But i have tried riding it, but i am 6'2 and that doesn't say much when i ride a 154... but anwyas i just thought it was alot more softer than any other board... i had the 158 wide peter line and the jp was way soft... good luck bro.. and sorry bout that one.
