Hello everyone
I was just wondering, Does anyone here snowboard?
Have you gone once or do you rarely leave the mountain?
What do you ride and where do you go?
-Dibs


I ride Eddie Wall's board by forum. its the 2009 model and its lime green and black. I have danny Kass special reserve bindings (purple velvet) and i mostly go to elk mountain. i have gone to most mountains in northeast pa and vermont too

Edit: Go hard on the double posts here huh? lol

I try to go at least 3 times a winter. I love it. I'd like to go more often, but the closest resort is about 3 hours from me and college basically runs my life. I have a Lamar board and bindings, Burton boots and I board regular.

I just started going a lot this season. I started around four years ago but never got into it b/c I didn't have a board. I plan on getting a Burton TWC 145 cm (I know it's small, but suits me for freestyle), Burton freestyle bindings with red trim, and burton freestyle boots.
I go to Spring Mt. b/c it's close and convenient.

I tried it a couple years ago and my bad knees prevented me from being able to turn without a lot of pain so it didn't last too long and obviously I won't be doing it anymore. Sucks because it seems like it would be a lot of fun otherwise once you get the hang of it.

I love smuggs. the glades are awesome there. We go there on a school trip and get a condo and everything

I've snowboarded for a couple of years. I work at a ski resort and I go up a couple times a week if I'm lucky. I usually either go to bear creek or blue mountain but I have been to other places as well.
I ride a Burton Dominant with some Cartel low back bindings at the moment.

I'm Canadian. Everyone here snowboards.

Depending on where I'm going, I have 3 different setups.

Just curious, what are they?

Dibs
01-25-2011, 12:17 PM
Rome Anthem 156cm (2008) / Rome Targe Bindings (Park)
Stephchild OG Powder 157cm (2010) / Burton CO2 Bindings (Freeride/Backcountry)
Shortys Freestyle 151cm (1999) / Gnu Street Bindings (Street Board)

I only have one pair of boots, my DC Balance Boots in Limited Edition Brown and Gold. Best Boots I've ever owned (http://www.backstreetshoes.com/p-2617-dc-men-balance-snowboard-boot-brown.aspx) You can get them for a really decent price, and they are totally worth it.

Im really liking that park setup. does it work good?

I can't believe how good he is at skateboarding as well. I know they are somewhat related but still, to be world class in both is incredible.

He could go pro in anything with a board. I think he should stick to snowboarding tho. If he endorses everything i think he will sellout

He's such a great guy too. Really down to Earth. The kind of dude companies love to throw money at. Future is bright indeed.
