I've really been diggin Santa Cruz boards for park riding. Their twin tips use ''Biometric Sidecut'' & this makes a huge difference. Think about ur turns, toe turns r always stronger & tighter than heelside turns, right? Santa Cruz has helped deal with this by designing their twins with a deeper heelside cut which strengthens & tightens ur heelside turns for you. And the comply constuction is basically shock absorbers for ur board which will reduce hang ups on the rails. Not the cheapest boards on the market but well worth the coin. l really like the Seth Huot.

Keep in mind that no board is really made to handle rails forever. If u jib a lot u WILL break ur board, it is only a matter of time. So if rails r ur thing u may want to think of a cheaper board that wo not hurt as much to replace when u blow it up. The Burton Dominant is great for that.

As far as bindings r concerned, l think that Burton makes the best bindings hands down. Cartels & Mission r great bindings for park riding. Both r similar with the Cartels being a touch stiffer for better response.

Boots r a personal preference. Again, l like Burton but that does not mean they will work for you. l would go to a good shop & try on as many pair as u can. For park riding u would probably want a medium flexing boot that way u get the support & flexability u need. Keep in mind that if a boot fits perfectly in the shop then IT IS TOO BIG! A boot should fit very tight in the shop as it will stretch a bit after it is worn. l always buy my boots at least a half size too small but some boots r known to stretch even more than that. Also, if u get a lot of days on the hill (60+) u r going to work ur boots harder than most. Other boot companies that I've liked in the past r Northwave, Solomon & K2.
