for sure! they kinda go fast, but thats what warranty is for. and i think nitro makes some good all around park boards, theyre kinda stiff if ur gonna be buttering around....... one of my friends has a rome board that is really flexy if thats what ur looking for tho....... and as far as bindings, as much as i hate burton, i like how theyre bindings feel, but theyre not made real well..... ride, k2, and raiden bindings arent bad either, and one of my friends has a pair of union bindings, that have bushings them to allow the board to flex and keep it from breaking at the edge of youre binding..... which would be nice if u want your board to last.
