That just killed like half an hour...

I remember when snowboarding was all about bucking what was trendy, and not falling for name brand and stuff. The more neon the pants, and the craaaaazier the hat the better.

[LMAC]

same shit as last year.. but maybe not not sure what i will end up doing

[visual_kool]

Went to the lodge sale at Martock last Friday and got the wife and kids all ready to go for the season. I'll be using the same gear as last year (Ride board and bindings).

Bought a new setup to screw around on, for those "I'm gonna try ______ today"

2007 Sapient Lotus 160



2009 Flow Flite 4 Bindings

[Beaker]

your gonna regret those flows. otherwise nice board. i like the saipent pnb2's. whatever their park board is.

[dpwu32]

Oh probably. It was more of the concept thing, then anything. As for the board, I was torn between a PNB2 and the Evolution. Scoring The Lotus new for $61CAN on ebay I couldn't pass.

Also, i wanted something true-twin and the PNB2's are directional I believe.

[CKR]

beaker, tell me about the Flow's from your experience..

[Beaker]

i had a pair of team elites or something. i cant even remember the model but i hated the feel of them. i need to feel the straps.

i sold them to my roommate and now he is looking for new bindings as well. he dosent like them either. although they are quick to get into they arnt comfy.

few other people i know like them tho. you really really gotta dial them in.

[random drunk guy]

I've had a couple of pairs of flows. First was a cheap pair that I beat the shit out of and they kept on taking it. Too heavy so I upgraded to Flow NXT's and they were garbage. Couldn't put the things on without breaking a strap. Swapped them out for Burton Cartels after about a month.

This was when the NXT first came out though, I would hope that they have upgraded the materials since then.

I bought all new shit last year, but I am having trouble with my board, its SUPER stiff, I have a really hard time on choppy bumps and shit like that, it pulverises my ankles/knees.

I thought it was my binding/boots being too tight, so I tried different levels of loose, not good.

Its kind of a shit board, I don't even remember what it is. Am I better off going to a "better", more flexy board?

I am not a park guy, I like fast cruzing.

The hill is now a fashion show.

I have a Ride all-mountain board. The core in it really helps to absorb bumps n shit. It's not a super stiff board, but stiffer then what you'd want for park/pipe. Since it sounds like we do similar riding, you may want to look into it.

[Beaker]

get a capita black death speed tribe.

id look for soemthing with like a bit of a setback stance, and thats directional. i rock short perfect twins but i ride park so.....you want the exact opposite. also a lib tec with magnatraction wouldent be bad. ive ridden a burton vapor (1200$ or so) and it was stupid nice to tear around on. but fuck it was expensive.

i had a forum lander and really liked it as a long board.

[DUKE]

Liquid 151 Snowboard
Burton Bindings
Burton Boots
Oakley Glasses
Northface Summit Series pants and jacket

I am too lazy to find pictures for them. This reminds me that I need to get my snowboard re-waxed and sharpened.

[CKR]

Every time I'm ready to get out, something comes up.

/annoyed.

[jspurr]

i am thinking of a new helmet for this year and was looking at this one.. id like to get something with speakers built into it... any other suggestions?
