right now I have a Ride Society which I find is sick for pipe, booters and generally charging around the mountain. I need a board that I can jib/butter boxes rails and flatground without catching and something that presses really well unlike the society. I'm afraid the WWW rocker or ride crush will leave me wanting a nicer board because of its lack of tech and carbon but will a parkstar or machete be too stiff? that leaves me with the jibpan, I thought it was a decked out www but I hear its stiffer than a parkstar?Basically I want something as different from my society as possible when it comes to the things i mentioned without being a POS noodle.

Grab a Machete. You will love this board. I rode one for abouot 20 days last year and it was my hands down favorite. The Crush is a little to jib for me as well, but the Machete breaks in real nice. You will be hyped. Thats why this board got the #1 best of test.
