snowboard talk/BS

Those look really nice but I don't think they work on Burton boards. I think burton has proprietary boards which are only compatible with their bindings.

 

Burton uses EST mounts on most of their boards now. You can usually get an adapter plate for the bindings so its not that big of an issue to mount any binding you want. I took a look at the ride revolt bindings at the snowboard shop yesterday. If the flow bindings don't work for me I may give them a try. Going to Vail tomorrow for the first ride of the season!

 

Lucky!!! I am several weeks away, the weekend before Christmas several weeks away from going out and riding. Right now I am torn between what the hell I should splurge on:

Zeal z3 live goggles over $600 alone! :O

Or

A burton Sherlock board
Or echelon boards
And bindings and boots for mentioned boards up top

 

those zeal z3 sound badass! i wonder how good they work though

 

Ill tell you they work great when you are riding in the trees and a branch rips them off your head and you can't find them in the powder..

I use expensive goggles, but I'd never pay more than $100 after a discount

 

i would probably cry haha. i dont pay that much either. I think i got my electric eg2 with a spare lens for like 65 bucks or something

 

I currently use the spy soldier goggles. They are sick and have been an absolute pleasure to ride with even in the harshest of conditions. I would like some guidance around the mountain though because more often then not my inner compass absolutely sucks.

I actually saw them within a couple YouTube videos. The self photochroming portion alone of them makes them WAY worth it! They work exactly as shown in the videos (the mod live portion) I haven't seen the photochroming portion of them in action yet.

 

x2 Paid 70 bucks for the Smith I/O with the green sol X lenses. Full retail is a joke!


So who else is going shredding this weekend?!

 

shredding this weekend is a joke haha, its supposed to be like 60 again tomorrow, massanutten hasnt made snow since thanksgiving and snowshoe has 12-30" at the base...not to mention its finals week

 

So when is a good time to start going up for people on the west coast?

 

Psh! I got finals too.. Priorities man!

 

haha oh if the mountain was open i would totally be shredding, did it last year, the monday of finals week 2 of my buddies and I went on opening day to ride for a few hours before studying hahaha

 

Jackson just received 15in over night of cold smoke, 4-8 more throughout the day, all lifts including the tram opening up today, and there was a good 10in of pow yesterday. Best part is, not tourist season quite yet so it will not be very busy today.

Today, will not suck. Just thought I would rub that in

 

lol. idk it’s over a year old. maybe it’s time to get a new girl. i’m single so i dong have to deal with any of that crap. all tho i would not care if she did not like snowboard much. as long as she would try it one time. her not liking it just means one more thing on the list that me and “the guys” can all go do.

 

Lol and that's exactly the way I'm treating it honestly. Hey she can be a downer all she wants as long as she don't kill my good tIme with it. She's been vocal that she is upset she can't go Witt the 4 of us this month but oh well. That's not my fault!

I am gonna go boarding regardless. I am trying to decide between a new board and bindings at this point or the zeal z3 live goggles.

The HIGHEST of speeds!

 

OMG! THIS IS FUCKING BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




Base of Brundage!

Going for opening day friday, going to be pure awesome!

 

^im jealous. Someone find me a job out west so i can move.

 

so lucky...i wish i could see some powder this winter, i doubt i will though

 

about to go mammoth next week. got to get the neversummer out.

 

So I'm going to be having some fun soon.

Flying out west to go buy my new truck, then driving it back home to NY. Will be stopping in Kirkwood and also Jackson's Hole.

I'm currently riding a 2012 Gnu Riders Choice 161.5 w/ '13 Union Atlas's.
