Comments about K2 Snowboarding Parkstar:

The board for everything. And not just anything a bit. i can ride the slopes on highspeed, jib rails and boxes, even powder when i put my bindings on the last positions. good stability on jumps. graphic is awesome. just the base is a bit boring on the 152. No need to size it down for the park. It spins much faster than any other board the same size. you don`t catch the edge on rails with the flatline. Just the topsheet gets scratched pretty easy.

      Comments about K2 Snowboarding Parkstar:

      Absolutely love this board, if you're considering it, buy it. Rides so nice in all kinds of conditions. I rode in deep pow, park, ice and packed pow and it was truly a treat. Pop was great, held lines really well and was super responsive. I was a little hesitant to buy it because of the name and I am more of an all mountain type dude. Honestly i am totally happy with how it handled everything. The only thing i did change was setting back my bindings off center for a 2+ foot pow day. But other than that I haven't needed to do anything different. Wish it wouldnt chip and it would be the only board i would ever need to buy!

            Comments about K2 Snowboarding Parkstar:

            I purchased this board after owning the WWW rocker. I loved the weapon but I wanted something that was a little stiffer for larger jumps. Before I get to the cons I would like to point out that I absolutely love this board. The flex, and weight are perfect. What is upsetting is the fact that after every day of riding park I find a new dent, chip or split in/on the board. The second day of riding this board the top sheet on the nose split and peeled 6 inches inward.
            I still ride and would recommend this board. K2-Possible to fix the weakness of this board?
