I`m about 140 lbs....I was thinking about the 152 but I would rather go with the 148 since I really wanna mess around in the park and screw around the slopes with it, focus little more on the freestyle rather than riding....just need to know how does it handle in the park on the kickers and at higher speeds since when I ride with my friends I need a little speed to stay in range :P

How much do you weigh? I'm about 170 lbs and I can ride the 148 but it does get a little sketchy when straightling it. But it handles. I think you'll be fine or run the 152 if you are around my weight and that will be a perfect smaller park board.
