I have been snowboarding for a few years now on a good salomon. I learned how to ride. When my edges are are good i can get pretty much anywhere. I cant do park at ALL. The board is not centered. Which i need. Because its not a park board at all. Spinning is so hard, heavy among other things. The board takes way to much. I have downhill skied my entire life and raced most of it. I know its nice to have the right gear. So im lookin for advice on just that.
Im 5'11, 150-155 lbs, got a 10.5, 10 boot. My current board is a 157 and its at my nose with boots on... Im lookin for a board and bindings right now.
I want a good park setup and that can take mountain if i want to. I dont expect it to be perfect but its nice to take a black every now and then.
Im lookin for bindings that just hold me down with little bulk on the binding. Im not to worried about weigth. I keep hearin about the 390's.
Rome 390 Snowboard Binding - Free Shipping! from Dogfunk.com Ratchets only for me. i have never ridden a binding where the front strap is over your toe. Anyways i have been lookin at that link.
For my board i have been lookin at more rome. I have been lookin on the web but im unsure. I saw a review in these forums on the rome graft, excellent review on what im lookin in a board, but a 151 seems to small. Although i havent ridden a 151. 153 sounds nice... if they came in that size. Any good board im in really. Im goin to look at a few board shops soon. I would like to test before i get to a mountain this year but i dont think i can.
thanks for any advice.
