Default which board would be better for dancing and various tricks...

A fibreflex pintail 44, a Ladera respect 38, or a mini carve 42? One of these is gonna be my next board but im trying to dial in whats best for me. I want to do tricks and be able to pump, which one you guys think?

Roggs Jr. Dancer. Made for tricks but is pumpable. If you want made for pumping but is able for tricks then one of the other options perhaps (I haven't rode any of those 3).

i completely had my heart set on a jr.dancer about a week ago but they are just way to expensive, i can get a complete in any of those other boards for what a deck would cost from roggs i know they're completely worth it though. Maybe when he gets his economy models out ill pick one up.

well the economy line is out just not spoken of, a Jr will set you back 140 but you have a choice of colors, wheelwells are included, and it will definitely be a fun board

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this sounds like what you want. I learned to dance on this board, it's much better than the pintail for that because it has more room to move around on. It is also good for pumping. 110 out the door.

I might get a ladera because the lenght on my fibreflex 44 pintail messes up my boneless. When I go high, the most comfortable spot for me to land is not close enough to the trucks... in short I am afraid I will break the deck.
