Can't wait until after exams... Whistler is going to be my bitch. |
Was looking at some boot info came across a great guide with all the lacing systems n such. Dogfunk.com - Snowboard Boot Buyer's Guide from Dogfunk.com What do you guys prefer? I have a pair of ride boots for 8 years... Time for an upgrade :D edit I don't ride park at all just cruise with my friends for the most part. Posted via RS Mobile |
I've always preferred standard lacing but thats just me. It's getting harder and harder to find boots with standard laces though. |
Traditional is best to go as you can customize your lace pattern, introduce zone lacing, reduce or enhance stiffness of the boot, and also modify your ankle hold based on how you lace it. This is obviously at a higher level, but large amount of pro-riders still use traditional lacing. Posted via RS Mobile |
Anybody have links or guides on different lacing techniques? |
vangruver: whoa! that sucks about your accident, bummer. |

Hey guys, im looking to get into snowboarding, gonna be purchasing my first board soon..... Any tips? Is buying an older board okay? |

Sportchek has the K2 anagram on sale for $159.99 this week from $319.99 Fantastic deal, its got catch free rocker which will make learning to ride a bit easier Posted via RS Mobile |
When I used to snowboard I think I had that internally ankle support thing where you just reefed on it to secure your ankle within the boot then did the traditional laces up on top of it. I was never a fan of having a bulge down on top of your toe or increased "sensitivety" for turning and the same goes for gas pedals, wasn't a fan. |
K2 Anagram Snowboard 2011 - SportChek.ca 159 sale on now... I'm thinking of buying one myself... what is this board BAD for? It can't be great for everything... I'm wondering what downsides would this board have compared to like ~$500 Burton board? weight? flex? core issue? |

Not going to be as stiff or as responsive as say a burton custom However it is a great learning board It has minimal rocker with a mostly flat profile, it is not a "deep pow" board. Overall it is a fantastic deal for $160 Posted via RS Mobile |
155 or 161 cm board? I'm 6'0 185lbs ish gonna buy it :D after watching this I think i'll get the 161 :o edit: Wtf its sold out already -.- |

Nice work! There's no better feeling than getting something for a good price! Any snowsport you partake in can provide you a great thrill even if its not on the best gear. Fact remains, not every pro rider will opt for the top level snowboard or ski for their uses. They generally choose whatsbest suited for the terrain they're riding! Let us know how that snowboard performs, the best way you can. Posted via RS Mobile |
Why do they run the big tracked machines on mountains that arn't yet open making it all bumpy and choppy? |
