      Hey everyone, I’ve been riding K2 boards and boots for a while now and love them, but I’m curious—how do they compare to other brands for freestyle riding? I’m especially interested in board flex, durability, and overall feel in the park. Also, if anyone has recommendations for Union bindings versus other brands, let me know! Looking to upgrade my setup this season and want to get the best ride for park and pipe. Thanks!

It’s got a super soft flex, so it’s awesome for rails and getting tweakable on boxes. It’s not a speed demon, but for park, it’s a ton of fun.

Generally, K2 boards are known for being durable and having a pretty classic, predictable feel without a ton of extra tech like some other brands.

        As for other brands, I’d
