Someone stole my 6 year old Glissade 168 longboard (now called big gun)
and I am very sad. This board did everything: power, crud, groomers,
ice. Flakey old Glissade will not be able to replace it until next
year, so I am looking for alternatives.

I am

A freerider -- back issues keep me grounded.
150lbs, 5' 7" (170cm, 68kg)
9 years riding.
A Baker boy.

Off the runs, where I do most of my riding, the Pacific Northwest
offers two snow conditions: Fresh with crud and no-fresh with crud,
where crud means bumps with textures ranging from soft to ice commonly
in the same run. Oh, yes and I love riding in crud.

For no-fresh with crud I've settled on an Donek Incline 160 which I
have owned in the past and I loved but is not long enough for most
freshies.

For fresh with crud, I'm in a quandry. Ideas are

Never Summer T5 165: built like a Glissade but is it as responsive?
Arbor A-frame 166: friends think it is the **** but none of them own
one.
Option Signature or Vinson 164-166.
Burton Malolo 162: do Burtons still die after a year, my old custom
did?
Rossignol Jeremy Jones 162-165.

Any comments? Better Ideas?
