Re:any snowboarders here?
 

Sadly, I live in Colorado and haven't done snowboarding. I've only gone skiing 3 or 4 times. Its getting to be to damn expensive, like $300-400 for a one day trip.

i board. i ride a k2 valhalla with lamar mx125 bindings and lamar a.k.a boots. as a matter of fact i dislocated my left shoulder again last night after coming up short trying to bust a 540 off the big air jump at mohawk. ------ a. im sitting here with one arm. i will be sidelined for at least a month. :( >:( :'(

Re:any snowboarders here?
 

how do those lamar bindings work for ya? I was looking at some lamars and they're pretty cheap. That's the last piece for my new snowboard setup. I just bought a K2 Spitfire board, Limited Galaxy boots, and now I need some bindings. What size boot do you wear? I wear 13 and I noticed a lot of bindings are too small :(

That sucks you have been sidelined. i have yet to injure myself (knock on wood) but I don't usually attempt any tricks, I just like to carve and go really fast

Re:any snowboarders here?
 

I go up snowboarding, about once every few weeks. I've gone to Crystal once, and stevens once this year.. Low snow coverage in some places. Ya we should go up sometime, I was planing on going to baker atleast once this year.

I live in Reno, NV, so there are tons of place not to far away. I just went to Mt. Rose today, tons of good O.B. No tracks and it hasn't snowed for 3 days ;D I have a burton floater w/burton custom bindings. So do you guys hit the tables and such???

Re:any snowboarders here?
 

I just got back from a riding weekend trip to Killington, VT. Some kid told me that I was old school because I ride a free riding mountain board, Oxygen FR47 with step in plate binding and Burton Reactor hard boots. Free time riding this season. Last year was way too warm and I only did it once. This year hopefully I can ride more.

Re:any snowboarders here?
 

I'm to lazy to learn snow boarding ::)
Being skiing at Baker 3 times so far this year. They've finally got enough snow :)
Went to Crystal on New Years day, but it was windy as hell :( . Kinda sucked.

Re:any snowboarders here?
 

mt high, mammoth, snow summit, big bear here in so cal....i went about 7 or 8 times so far this season but its draining my funds so im planning on not going any more or only couple more times.... i ride on a 152 rossignol imperial w/ lamar bindings and airwalk boots....i want new gear by now.....too many deep gashes on my board cus of the dayam rocks and bindings getting hard to strap and release :P

Re:any snowboarders here?
 

you are a lucky mother fucker. i wish I could go to mammoth and SS all the time.

Re:any snowboarders here?
 

ok I just bought my bindings today, they are Sims strap bindings. Only $80, and they seem like they work good. I'll be testing the whole setup out this thursday if all goes as planned!

Re:any snowboarders here?
 

I am in new york i ride at holiday valley.I ahve the 158 danny kass promodel with spx bindings and the danny kass signature boots and i am selling my old setup of anyone is interested it is the 2001 palmer honeycomb 158 with switch standard x step in bindings and vans boots

Re:any snowboarders here?
 

Hi boosted i ride there too... what town are u in? Im in Orchard Park. Its pretty cheap there too for how decent it is, i usually pay $99 for a season sunday night pass (whole seasons worth of sundays!) and then you can ride from 3-10 when nobody is around and its gorgeous. Im riding a 160 Salomon X wide with burton custom strap in bindings and vans world traveler boots... i like that setup but need to upgrade next season

Re:any snowboarders here?
 

Ive ridden since I was a wee lad (Living 20min down the road from Crystal Mt) Probably about *thinks a min* about 10 years, although only about 5 out of those ten were with passes, and consistent riding. The other years I was in college and could only let myself go once a month. (any more and Id quit college and go back to riding).

My first board was the first Twin tip board ever made, and I still have it, an '89 Barfoot Twin tip 161, it is floresecent yellow and built like a giant ski. The bindings were steel.

I still havent ridden regularly, and when I do I get frustrated because Im so out of shape, that I cant do what I used to do, and end up having to stop a lot due to muscle fatigue. I used to hate people that stopped, and slowed me down. (fate is always Ironic)
Last year I went to Red Mt in the Canadian Rockies (Supposedly some of the steepest/best powder w/o a helocpter) I went once up and once down before my legs were wasted.

Im running everyday on a treadmill 45+min a day to get back in shape, and hope to buy anouther pass this season. Snowboarding was really a major part of my life, and Id like it to be again.

As for boards and equipment...bahh I dont care, Ive still got a bunch of the stuff in my basement, different Mt.s = different tools.

I never ride anything smaller then 150 (back in the New School Days all my friends rode little 140's and stuff I dont even know if they still do that?)
My favorites over the years, were Option boards. Cant stand K2's (They felt like a damn Ironing board, they still use plastic cores too, and that sucks up too much vibration that I like)

Ill never own clip in bindings...I hope they go the way of the baseless binding, Like having sex with 8 condoms on...

Well I can go on about snowboarding adventures, but this is a damn car site

Re:any snowboarders here?
 

i ride over 80 days a year..

use to have multipul sponcers and ----...

contest and all that gey stuff..

jsut ride for fun and coach high school snowboard team...

living 20 mins from the slops of mt. hood helps on the riding numbers.. year around operation is gods gift to the snowboard community!

Re:any snowboarders here?
 

Yep! I actaully haven't gone snowboarding in like almost two years. wow.. now that i think about it, thats a long time. I would snowboard big bear in cali. big sky in montana, and some other place in colorado, aspen or someshit.

Re:any snowboarders here?
 

i only went like 3 or 4 times last year. i didnt even go this year. its 2 expensive. well only if you pay :P
i got a mint 162 rossignol- nomade
planning on selling it tho

Re:any snowboarders here?
 

I board when I get the time. It is usually a 2-3 hour drive to the nearest hill for me and they are just small ass hills so it kind of sucks. I went to Quebec for a weekend trip this year and went to pull a 360 and there was a guy that was with me that wiped out so I went to stop mid air and landed sideways and fucked my knee up. It still bothers me if I move it too quick one way :-\
I just bought a Salomon RUDE 154 at the first of the winter with Burton RFLD bindings. My boots are the same ones I have had for the past 4 years, they are Prestons...

Accordepicenter whats up it is ron from machias talk 2 u later jay

Re:any snowboarders here?
 

Hmmm... I wanna go to the snow again. I can't call myself a snowboarder since I've only done it once, and I rented my ---- ;D. But it was fun. I don't like going slow so I would go through the mountain straight down, I didn't do none of that side to side bullshit. ;D Only tilted to the side to turn, other than that squated and went straight. Almost hit a few people, actually hit one guy, but his dumbass was sitting in the snow. It was definitely fun, and hope to do again sometime.
