I am 190-200lbs and am looking at a hyperlite parks 138, i dont have a boardshop anywhere nearby, can anyone help me and tell me if i'm too heavy for a 138. I currently use a gator 141 and works good looking for more pop

yea the parks 138 (2004 ? ) should be able to handle your weight, but if you are looking for more pop should you be considering a same size or larger board because large board=more surface area for more pop? At least that's what I have always herd...but there are other factors for pop to so I could be wrong.

your size, def. the 142. as for the board however, make sure you demo and are sure. i rode a premier until i broke 2 of them, then moved to a parks for the same reasons u want to, i wish i hadnt. the parks is probably one of the hardest boards ive ridden (very unforgiving), but it does buck like crazy. just make sure thats what you want before shelling out mad cash.
