    Whoa, too much of a variety. Can't you narrow it down to one or two disciplines?

    seeing as you're mainly into dancing and not DH, i'd say remove your option of a DH race and stick with the Evo. since you're not hardcore hill-bombing it'll give you a bit more versatility and use-ability as opposed to the VERY bomb-oriented DH
    that said, out of those the only ones which are speed-oriented boards are the evo and the dh... I don't know how a loaded pin rides, but if you're into dancing and speed a fish isn't really what you're looking for either, it's more of a pump/carve deck.
    osd is a pretty slick board, it would certainly let you dance your feet off

    not really an answer, but some input. you're the only one who can answer what board you SHOULD buy.

    Dude why not get a long board larry dancer? And i really feel you on the Dervish not being all that great for dancing, I mean i love the board but my feet slip off the top of the truck base plate when doing manules and shuvits, on the plus side i can slide my 80a big zigs at only about 10mph and carve a hill like a pumpkin on oct 30th... i still want to take it to the pool though
