I have mountain boarded a few times, (alot of fun) most of the boards are sturdy enough for a bigger rider. How big are we talking about by the way? Not sure about picking up used boards on the cheap though. I'd check ebay or craigslist first but you might be stuck buying new.

well im 265lbs and just under 6ft. i think that if i get a board with carbon fiber in it i would be fine.

For your size you dont want to be cheap. Try it out before purchase if possible, make sure the brakes will work for you.

This^^^ prolly not gonna let you try first but can't go cheap i am 185 and have broken 2 boards. running rather mildly by my standards.
