I'm currently skating Crockett Highs, but kinda interested in NB again. I found the 440 too thin, 508 my heel slipped, and the 1010 is a bit too much for me. I'm not fully a cup dude and I've heard good things about the 272 and 306. Can anyone give a comparison to the Vans skate line in terms of flick, padding, and board feel.
