snowboard talk/BS

i dont do park(well not yet) and are place is groomed but some times if it is snowing after they groom. may get some pow on it. thats why i got it and they said it was a goo beginner and intermediate board. and i love the graphics! thats what cough my eye. they only had one other board i liked. and another place had one. i got it as a b day gift from mom and dad.

 

How much was it? I want to see it soo bad but i'm soo broke!

 

Ahhhhhhhh!!! Dont tempt me! The last thing my GPA needs is me daydreaming about snowboarding more than I already do.


Anyone on here go to any freerunning type gyms for practice? Me and a buddy are going to one this weekend. Should be fun!

 

i can’t wait ether! and i like how this thread was dead for like a month and now i dont think it has cone off main page for long.

 

sooo.. totally made another one of these in the Az section (i know you dont think of snow in Az) for the local peeps.. my bad! lol

havent hit the powder in over a year due to dealing with a DUI.. (again, i know, i know) but its all done.. learned my lesson and am ready to ride!

'10 Burton Dominant 154" with Burton Mission bindings

 

Sorry it took me a little while to get here but yeah I got the 2009 cartels I was thinking of getting some drake bindings but Idk yet

 

dude ive seen the trailers. it looks bad ass...

 

so guys what brand of snowboards do you recommend? i want to get one before the season if its possible.

also if anyone has any for sale let me know!

 

Depends on what you want to do. Different companies have different specialties.


I am selling my Rome SDS Crail I put up on the last page. Was looking to get 190 + shipping. And I already have a box to ship it in!

Ive only used it two times since I bought it in January, it was my secondary board last season.

 

hey mani think ROAM are good forum are also good. those are the only ones i now anything about.

like my board is good for me and what u ride. i don’t ride park yet. and i’m still kinda learning. and i ride groomed slops. and maybe a little pow. i know i went one time this year and they got 6” of pow after they groomed it.

 

to 113tac i think this is a good deal. same board i have just a tad bit longer. it’s a good intermediate and beginner board. also good for groomers. and pow. you live in va right? well ober is prob pretty close to what you are going to be riding. BTW wear will you ride the most? i may go to CAT this year.

 

Rome are great boards, ive had 3 and they have all been amazing. Ride does good stuff too, Just got my 2nd ride board and haven't used it yet.

No experience with Forum, but I hear nothing but good about them too.


Burton though, its like a BWM.. good at first, but turns you into a douche.

 

Hey hey. No hatin on Burton. lol. Love my Dominant. my second Burton board with no regrets. poppy, strong, light, especially my Dominant as its a pure park board.

 

At least we can all agree to stay away from the Helgason's new brand "lobster" lol

 

i just went to the snowboard club meeting here at my school and now all im thinking is snowboarding...

im probably going to be riding mostly fake snow haha. but that sounds like a good setup. can you pm me more details about it?

yeah dude im probably gonna be riding a lot of hard packed snow...hopefully we will get some fresh powder this year but who knows. Ill mostly be riding Massanutten which is like 20 minutes from my school or Snowshoe Mountain in West Virginia. Im joining a snowboard club through my school so hopefully ill be able to get to canada this winter and maybe even colorado!!!

 

i used to have a rome board, then went to burton, and now i have a GNU and i would say go with a GNU or Libtech hands down. i've ridden a lot of boards at demos from burton and others and nothing has come close to how my GNU board rides. if your a begginner the reverse camber will help you not catch an edge and will be much easier to learn on.

what sort of budget are you looking at??

 

My new setup. Its a 150 Gnu Carbon Credit with the skate banana V-Rocker and some Burton Cartel bindings. I love the board, its a dream to ride.

 

well i think the crail would be good board!! thats why i got mine. i talked to them and they said it would be great for around wear. and for hard pack. and for the price. its good i paid like almost $300 for mine (i think) and if you don’t like they may it rode you wont be taking that big of a loss in $$$

 

I've heard the libtech boards have had problems snapping... Atleast the park boards like the skate bananas and park pickles. If you want an all mountain board.. Never Summer are great boards. Two friends have those and they are fast, durable and ride like butter. Not as easy to throw around tho. i went from an all mountain Burton Blunt to my Dominant and have to say, the small agile board is soooo much better... Imo obviously. just more fun.

For a beginner, an all mountain is best. Longer and wider is easier to learn and cruise on. Smaller is more unstable but easier to throw around.
