nidecker is a pretty solid manufacturer that has a core following, would be more popular if snowboarding was less driven by trend...having said that, if you want a board for park, rails etc, the most important issues are flex, length, and stance options...you want a nice soft board, one that is a bit on the shorter side, and very importantly, has nice wide stance options so you can have a nice wide stance...this makes sliding rails so much more comfortable, and keeps you nice and low helping balance and all dat...hope that helps...

my first thought when i read about this in the niseko news site was that maybe it was in response to the countless aussies who invade every winter and act like butt heads, and no doubt committ petty crimes, or worse when there shouting there way back through the streets of hirafu, or wherever, waking everyone up, and being knobs...maybe the government would like to be able to hold some people to account who would otherwise be able to do whatever they want with no repercusions...???

also depends on foot size, although not so important when floating through fields of white gold... you would be fine on a 155, or you could go a bit loger if you wanted more floatation...
