Sir, some words of advice.
Focus NOT on what device you slide down snow covered (or not) hills on, but on the FEELING and SHAREABLE EXPERIENCE that whatever wood/carbon/plastic/unobtanium plank brought you in this gravity (and sweat) induced endeaver brought you to the nirvana that needed to be expressed in such a public medium.
For the most part, we are all here to share the hard to express snow stoke...and encourage others to not only participate, but share in many various ways in the participation of that exact endeavor.
Offer rides.
Share information.
Buy beer.
Warn of dangers.
All of those things, and more.
Kudos, Mazeltov, and velkommen.
or whatever, I'm wasted.
Snow, bro!
oh I agree with you 100% but I'm shopping for my own equipment and I'm just curious what everyone who snowboards here is rocking.
in any case, I'm stoked to board the Italian Alps in Bormio this December! But thats not on topic now is it =[
Resort Dropping is a disease that must be eradicated!

bindings, its a shame there aren't more companies out there with a good product, rides high end mods are ok, get the flow team binding= better performance and you'll spend more time riding, less time screwing with straps.
techtalk bitch?
swallowtails...anything else is just a big a skateboard.

I also have a Terje Hakkonsen 159, and a Pryder 170, strictly for rock season...
Ghee, you were too swilly at the party, I was gonna give you a tour of the collection. But that fire was too big and tempting.
(and I admit, the Nitro is a loaner when I need it)
wow, that's awesome. how's you land that?Quote:

advres, how do you like the Cartels. I can't choose between Missions and Cartels
The cartels are sick. By far my favorite binding (A little stiffer then the missions which is what I like.
When the cartels first came out they were breaking boards because of the little "wings" in the base by your heel. If you landed a little too far on the tail or nose they would cause a pressure point right behind the binding like using your knee to break a stick. I almost gave up on em' but Burton figured it out for all the following releases and they flared these upwards instead of leaving the points on the board. No more broken boards since and a happy advres I have been.
I may be switching up the bindings on the gnu though. I got hooked with a pair of Technine MFM pros and Rome 390s so I will be checking those out. Heard nothing but good things about both.
Rad Air Tanker 177-longer is better
Catek makes some sweet binders
It looks to be like your bindings only reach the ball of your foot? Is that what I am seeing? That must suck, IMHO.Quote:

Neversummer T5 168
Neversummer Titan 164(built as a split by neversummer)
Neversummer Titan 169(built as a split by neversummer)
I ride 2 different bindings. Ride SPI's (which I dont really like) and Burton P1-Carbon Fiber bindings(which absolutly rock, but forced me to buy more padded boots because the carbon fiber is sooo incredibly stiff)
Does anyone ride Option snowboards? When I went to Whistler to snowboard for my first time I noticed Option was all over the place. They are based in Vancouver.
I'm having trouble finding a board that I can ride without toe drag. Size 11 boots are ride in the middle between mid-wide and wide boards =[
Prior will make custom boards, any size, up to 34cm wide, and 205cm long, I believe. (I'll check) Pricey, but handmade, just for you, in Wheestler, eh.

Hmmmm, Catek.
The Solly 914 for the TGR Snowboard set?
I may be intrigued enough to get a pair.
I've been rocking K2 wide boards for a decade (good shop deal):
Fat Bob 159
Trucker 163
Nemesis 165 (x2)
Solly Bindings, until now..?
I really do need some solly 914's for the new twintip skis.
Poles are on the way.
I wanna be back on skis by the end of the year.
You really wanna part with them there ski binders ??
trade for a wasatch mojo with TD2s ??
No, no. Don't have to trade, just suggesting the Cateks as perhaps the bombproof standard (like the s914) for TGR knuckledraggers.
Sorry, I have some 20yo tyrolias if you want those?
In that case....;) INHALE to the CHIEF ! :rolleyes2Quote:
