hey guys i want to get into sliding and wondering what board i should should get between these 2, im 5' 7", and want to slide, some street tricks and take my board to the park. i've heard great things about both boards but still cant decide any help?
I would recommend the executioner, but that is simply because I feel that the sergio is way to cramped. I just don't feel like there's enough room for my feet on the thing, but people I met who use the board say they get used to it after a little while but I just don't like the thing. The executioner is a way more comfortable ride to me.
I ride the executioner and love it. While it may seem short, in reality, you're only losing about an inch of wheelbase over the 35" drifter. Personally, I like that reduced base to keep my spins fast. And, while I have never ridden the sergio, from what I see on the gravity website, it seems a little thin for my preferences (maybe I like my slide decks fat?).

If you're going to the park, definitely go for the Sergio or something all wood. The Executioner is an excellent slide board; but way too flexible for park use in my experience.
sliding you can use a soft or a stiff deck but in the park you need a stiff deck, the all wood Yuppie (if you can find one) though a bit flat would be a better park board. The new Yuppie is EcoTech Fiber which since EW and Gravity are pressed in the same factory means it's probably very similar to the Executioner. A better choice would be a EW Corchia as a dual use board for both slide and park.

while wearing a piece of plastic and foam on your head of course.
its stiff enough with good pop, light, still long enough to haul ass down a hill on (I'm 6'1" btw). gravity and EW are both awesome company's though either way you go i think you'll be happy.
