snowboard talk/BS

Ober can get icy too. it sucks! and hurts like hell.

 

Going snowboarding tomorrow.. so pumped!

 

Jealous! How so early?

 

haha nice! i go to JMU right now, im a freshman...but yeah last year i went and its was really bad, especially when your one of the first ones on the mountain haha

yeah i wasnt able to go much last year either...i already know im going like every weekend once it opens here and then hopefully during the week cause i want to do a lot of night runs, ive never done that but it sounds fun haha. I really want to go up north sometime this year... im definitely gonna save up this summer to go to colorado next winter though!

 

oh cool, i dont know him but if he snowboards i might meet him, he probably joined the snowboarding club cause its like the biggest club on campus i think

 

Abasin opened Thursday and Loveland Friday

 

Cool. JMU is a fun school. Lots of parties & drunk chicks. Best mtn within your driving distance is Snowshoe WV. Rode there a few times back in the day, that's the closest thing to riding out west IMO.

 

Whaaaaaaat?? Mtns r open in CO already? How much snow is out there right now?

 

yeah definitely haha. i definitely want to get out to snowshoe atleast once this semester. ill probably get a season pass there the rest of college cause the snowboard club rents a house out there atleast 3 times a season maybe more if there is like some good snow out there.

 

ok guys. i could not sleep (prob because i sleep most of yesterday with a headache) so i watched snowboarding videos all night.
and discovered i need new pants,gloves, and i need to get some good socks. what do you guys use as far as pants and gloves? i have some North face shell type that are to short now. (going to keep them i have some lady friends that want me to take them this year) and i have a North face jacket that is still good.

 

another question i have for you guys. is. how many times did you go and rent a board before you went and bought you’r own?

i went 3 or 4 times before i got my board. i new i liked it and wanted to advance. so mom and dad got me my board,bindings and boot for my 19th B-day. i got tired of having bindings one time and the next time step on kind. and crapy boards that are heavy.

 

Once I started getting into snowboarding, Sugar Mountain was the place to go in NC. Now that I am living in MD, I've been going to Liberty, which's less than an hour from where I'm at.

My set up:




K2 WWW 159W, Union Contact bindings, and K2 Raider (although I might swap them out this year). My last set up was a Salomon Pulse with some crappy 5150 boots and bindings.

 

how old the is K2 ?? and how do you like the ride ?
I'm in need of a new board this year and I'm thinking about going from my Burton to a K2.

 

sweet. i plain on going to sugar this year. will prob get some people and make a day trip.

 

I picked it up last year. It rides like butter and does great in the park if you like that kind of stuff. Great company IMO.

 

That'd be pretty awesome.

 

yeah. idk how far it is. something like 3h. but Ober is like 45 min to 1h. and it’s not all that great.

 

Thanks thats just what im looking for in a board. i have had my board for 6 years time for a new one !

 

3 hours sound about right.

 

Yeah I know what you mean. I had my Salomon for 5 years before I finally swapped it out to my current set up.

Have you checked out http://www.the-house.com? If not, you should, they have a lot of good deals and are pretty easy to deal with.
