    I'm a bigger guy. Not fat but just a big guys who is in pretty good shape. 6'3'' about 240 lbs. I want to ride more park and freestyle but still want to ride all mountain also. I live in Michigan so my runs arnt huge but include some ok natural fetures. Will a Twin 161 be an ok board for me? I'm worried it will be to soft for a guy my size. I really like the board itself and I really like the twin stance.

    The Twin is stiffer than your typical park noodle.  It will be able to handle anything Michigan can throw at it.

    oh and any park board should be fine for the midwest no matter how soft they are you really cant gain enough speed to wash out or nothing so really any park board should be fine
