All you snowboarders
What kind of board do you ride? I've gotta buy a new one this year and was looking at the carbon circle palmer or the jeenyus kevin jones board. Wondering if ya'll have heard if they were good or not, and your experiences with the board you ride...

All my life.. if you are in the area there is a snowboard convention in LA first week of Nov. Most companies have last years' models at 70% off.

hey piercingitup.....Boarding is not "hard" its just very very very abusive the first few times you go. Expect to have a ****ty day for the first few sessions or but if you really have a desire to learn it (or are drivin by a a challange...like most bodybuilders) than you'll love it. Its just like bodybuilding, you get better/stronger every time you go...and there's always room for improvement.

For boarding, I wish I had those measurements JC LOL, I'm 6' tall, and size 11.5 feet, have to ride a wideboard, which is great, but have never felt that nimble. I ride a Ride Fleetwood, Ride bindings (forget model #) and Solomon boots. My board rides like a dream, great for cruising.

Got any videos you could put on here? I dunno if you could do that sh!t but that would be badazz. if slopestyle is the parks then that's what i like to do too. not too good at railing yet but i am pretty good at the jumps.

I've been ridding the same K2 board with clicker bindings and K2 boots for about 4 years now and i love 'em. I might buy a new set up next year if I can get some dough!

I LOVE original sin. I gave my OS Team FS to a friend in need, and I bought the OS Team Stratus. I love it. Season's almost here. Anyone live in Utah? I take a trip there every year, but I think this year we are going to Canada! Unfortunatly though, I broke my wrist last year, 9 months in a cast, a surgery later, and another planned surgery for December, HOPEFULLY I'll be back in the gym full speed! Sucks. Anyway, let s know what you buy.

A snowboard that gets you down the hill is the same as a different snowboard that gets someone else down a hill
I never saw the point in spending 400 dollars for a board "alone" unless you are a pro and sponsored. If you are NOT, then go to "CHEAPSNOWBOARDS.com and buy one.
They are all the same. Get a board that looks good and is cheap.
I paid 100 dollars for mine and it works just fine. Plus, when it gets fvcked up, I can buy a new one and change bindings.
What you need to worry about are good bindings and boots.
LAMAR is what I use and no problems.

and every snowboard isnt the same even if your just a everyday rider. there's to much to explain this morning, but its the same presence of every car is the same so why not buy a yugo? they all will get you from point A to point B. just some do it a hell of alot better.

yeah, theres wide boards where you can't turn as sharp as a nonwide board. flexable boards where you can get that extra pop to get on a rail or off a jump and stiff boards for newbs. also the faster boards are more expensive. thats why you always see newbs walking or pushing themselves with their hands on a catwalk...
