First snowboard - Snowboarding Forum

burtontwinner · 11-08-2009, 08:04 PM

so ive gone snowboarding twice in two years and i feel that im already good at it that im comfortable going on most hills(anything but double diamonds haha) anyways i found a 2006 burton retro twin on ebay that i got for 100 bucks with burton bindings unsure what type. I also went to my local ski/snowboard swap and got some used sims boots for 40...definitely not the best but good for me to start on. so i just wanted to introduce myself. im a michigander so im not near many mountains...haha. if any of you guys want to review the board if you've have/had it. that would be great. yes i know its a freestyle board...i am a freestyler as i spent my second time snowboarding in the terrain park for 3/4ths of the time hitting the jumps and boxes.

Well welcome to the world! I just recently got back into snowboarding and I bought most of my gear used, I couldnt believe how little I paid for so much great stuff! $100 for a Burton board and bindings, you cant really beat that. I dont know much about that particular board but I have rode Burtons ALOT when I was younger ( we used to get them for nearly free from the factory here in Vermont)

$140 for an entire setup is awesome - if everything fits well and is the right size then great. never used that board but it's soft and sounds good for you.

yeah when i saw the deal i was like omg!!!!! im hoping the bindings are larges so they fit my 9.5 boots that fit me perfectly.

you should be pretty good with that board. and for $100, you won't feel too bad about kicking the crap out of it on rails or whatever.

Hope you have fun riding. And I think you can get a lot of practice in with that setup and progress like I did.

am i the only one that find the posts by new people that say
"i have ridden twice before, i love riding everything (oh except for double blacks!), and i love hitting the park doing boxes and jumps!" a little fishy

maybe i just really suck and learn slow, but my second time riding i wasn't hitting jumps in the park

sorry for the hate, it just kind of bugs me

I have a feeling that they are the typical Michigan jumps, not anything that's big.
