you want to make sure you get something with zero flex, if it's going to be your first board dont bother going too expensive, take a look at the sector 9 DH division boards, and buy from hopkin's or creative, free postage and great prices! just click on one of the links to the right of the page --->

steve daddow makes some good boards, his drop through board is a good all round board, fast bombing and freeriding depending on how you set it up. my mate Phil has one of these and is very happy with it; http://www.hopkin.com.au/glyde-praxis.html, it will be more durable then a mass made board like the Raynes. Give hopkin a ring and ask for Robbo, he'll give you the advice you need.

i hear glyde will be making boards soon too.
