How's it going everyone, Im just getting back into snowboarding and been on the search for some new gear ended up buying most of my stuff new again just not wanting to get a new board/bindings right away as I am planning to just use a easy setup to get back into things. But i was on CL and found an ad for Lamar MX30 they are like new (used once) what do you think about about them?

Unless they're $30 I wouldn't bother. Toe straps instead of caps (caps are the way to go) and those ratchets look like they'd be a pain. Seems like a buget binding to me. Better off getting some used Burton stuff, at least you know there are tons of parts out there for them, and tons of replacement stuff available from the manufacturer if you need. Baseplates are guaranteed for life, etc.

its funny you said that they are 35$ haha, Also i was looking at the idea of getting new bindings aswell and just getting a used board then upgrading it probably next season or during the off season the bindings i was thinking about purchasing new are "Burton Freestyle" i would be able to get them at 99$

So stumbled on these while i was looking for something and being not an expert and being able to ask someone who is far more knowledgeable than myself i thought id ask you guys what you though about this package i have found

Burton Custom Bindings! All white size large

The wide is unnecessary for your size. A regular width would be fine for you. That Kemper board is likely to be older as well. I'd probably keep looking if it was me. The Customs are the nicest thing there, and they alone are not worth $100 used IMO.

Did you just say Kemper was a no-name company? They're long gone, but no name they were not! :laugh: I'd hazard a guess that at least 50% of people that started boarding in the early 90's either rented a Kemper as their first board, or bought one as their first board.

That said, if the OP can talk the guy down to even $70 or so I'd say pick up the combo, use it as is for a bit as a first board, and pick up a new board in 2 months when the end of season sales are on. Win-win...

Shit! I had the opposite happen. Bought a no-name board in '94, inserts pulled right out on the first run! Brought it back, store was going out of business, owner went over to the wall and took the Kemper (with an MSRP of $750) off the wall and gave it to me! :yahoo:

I think Kemper, like burton, had a rental line and a regular line. Unfortunately many people hated the Kemper rental line. Some of their stuff was actually really good for the '90s! If I haven't yet posted a pic of the '95 FS I'll do that soon...
