snowboard talk/BS

yeah im really diggin the color of those. my friend got fishbowl's instead of EG2's a few weeks ago so im guessing they are bigger than the EG2...they kinda look like they might be

 

i have EG2’s as well pic on first page. love them.

 

Yeah, after looking at tons of goggles for a half hour, he finally showed me those.. looked through the lens and said yep, ill take those. Just the color and lens shade are perfect and sold me. The John Jackson ones are SWEET. Check those out.

They are supposedly between the eg2's and eg2.5's.. but I think thy are just like the 2's

 

moose you ready for this weekend??

 

VVVVVV

dam thats still alot of people.....

this^^^^^^^^

you lucky bastard

alpine FTHMF my all time fav mtn in tahoe

 

Hells yeah. And dammit! You weren't suppose to see my new goggles yet. Lol

 

Don't beat me on this, but I'm thinking about starting to board, but not sure what size board and how much I should be spending... I'm about 5'6 thanks

 

how much do you weigh?

where would you be riding?

 

About 135 and somewhere upstate new york

 

probably around a 150-152 would be good...look into lib techs and other manufacturers who have the magnatraction as it will help with the icier conditions...camber would be preferred as the reverse camber will not be a big gain for your in the NE..

then next board i'd go up to 152-155...as you get better

 

Cool man, thanks

 

your best bet would be lessons and rentals to see if its actually something you want to get into. cheap boards are shitty and good boards are expensive.

Windham mountain and Hunter mountain wouldn't be too far of a drive for you. A bunch of us are meeting at Hunter February 11th

^ that is a good thought to keep in mind too


also, make sure the boots are snug on you...a lot of people have bad experiences due to the wrong boot fitment...you don't want your foot to move around inside the boot, but you don't want it to cut off circulation also...

i wear size 10.5 shoes, but i wear size 8.5 snowboard boots...the inside of the boot will pack out and the first few days with the tight boots will pay off in the end when your boot is still snug on your foot years down the line...

 

x2 on the boots. i actually think that my boots might be a little too big now that they are broken in. i just have to tie them really tight.

 

x3. its amazing how much they loosen up when they break in

 

i was using a friend's boots, they fit me just fine.. kind of hard to get on and off.. but i didnt cut off circulation and my foot didnt move around.. so i guess il stick with that size (9), its something ive always wanted to get into just never been around a place with snow... im just gonna save a bit to see what kind of board i like

 

thinking about going to a 158 to a 153-154... i ride a burton custom now... looking at arbor boards, any body have experience?

 

i was told to look at burton customs... but im still looking.. looks pricey

 

Check out Bean Snowboards instead of Arbor, same concept..much better quality made in Boston for less $.

 

yeah mine rides great, just a bit too big for my style

will do thanks for the tip
