I am wondering how many of you have a "quiver" of snowboards, rather than just one board.
Different brands, different profiles (camber, rocker, hybrid, etc.), different purposes (powder, carving, freestyle, park/jib), different flex/stiffness, different shape (true twin, directional twin, directional, tapered...).
So how many boards do you own?
Why do you have more than one?:dunno:
Which one(s) for which purpose?:dunno:
And if anyone knows, how do I set this up as a survey on the main page?
52 Burton Root - smaller mountains, park, banked slaloms (I actually have two of these, one is mothballed)
63 Burton Juice Wagon - pow, big mountain, snowshoe bc
63 Rossi Experience- big mountain, snowshoe bc
62 K2 Panoramic split
I believe in one board to do it all. That said I bought a super expensive board this year, so I have a couple cheaper boards to use on rock days, park laps, etc.
Virus Avalanche FLP AFT 160 - Carving, powder, steep lines, glades, it does EVERYTHING well
Burton T7 159 - My former do it all board, now it's my early season, late season charging board
Burton Custom 156 - Picked it up this year used for $145, it's a play board for the park so I don't break the other two
What I would really like to do is find a way to stop wrecking boards. :dizzy:
13' k2 www - jib, no snow butter days
13' DC mega - park, booters, mountain charger
Gunna pick up one or two boards with magnatraction for icier days, a freestyle board for deep days, maybe a designated deep pow charger if i have spare cash before the season starts.
2012 DC Biddy 151 for all mountain - loved it for our week in Courchevel, think we got to see almost all conditions on that trip
2012 Roxy Ally 143 for jibbing and dome riding - perfect board for flatland stuff
I'll probably get a powder board once we move to the States, will have to see what's available in 2 years or so... considering the Powder Snake based on what's out now.
Arbor Roundhouse - 163W. This is the board I learned to ride on and have been riding exclusively for 1-1/2 seasons! So Ive used it for Everything. Rome Garage Rocker - 159. Flat rocker. I won this board from Wiredsport back in Dec.! Fun board, use it for butters n soft fresh groomers. Not great in the ice or chop but holds a nice carve in the fresh. Never Summer Proto CT - 157. Bought used two months ago from one of the regional forum members and fast becoming my favorite board!!! I got to ride it in some knee deep POW few weeks back n it performed awesomely!! Ive ridden ice, chop, slush, a little fresh n Pow and I like it on all but the bullet proof stuff! This is the board I logged my fastest speeds on! 45 mph+!! It Needed wax when I bought it, and I only just waxed it for the first time today! This board is FAST!!! Cant wait to see how she rides this weekend with a fresh wax!! 55 mph+????.
159 Burton cheetah for pow
157 lobster for all mtn.
If plants go my way ill be getting a 162 billy goat for all mtn, keeping the cheetah and adding a splitboard. And yes, i know i had the billy goat before.
151 capita horrorscope, all mountain use
154 lib tech skate banana, mainly just ride that on my 3 Colorado trips every year.
148 K2 www, my old jib/ park board getting retired this year
154 Lib Tech TRS C2-BTX, for my Jackson hole trip every year
And just ordered the Rome artifact rocker 151 for my new park/jib board going to be here in a few days super excited
Is it the best at anything? Not really, but it's fun and I enjoy riding it in any conditions. I'm not about to win any races with it, but I'll certainly have the biggest smile on my face while I lose!
'10 Sierra Reverse Crew 155 - My first board, easy to learn on
'13 Capita Horrorscope 153 - Park board
'13 Burton Custom flying V 156 - All Mountain board
'13 Lib Tech T Rice Pro 150 - Just bought it on sale.
Some of these quivers are very impressive! IDK how you guys do it, i can barely afford to pick up my second board. Never the less, keep on riding them and shredding hard!
4 for me
2012 Burton Custom Flying V 158W
2011 Burton Custom X 162W
2013 Burton Joystick 159W
2013 Jones Hovercraft 160
Looking to ween off the Burton tit next season. Have a few things in mind. But each board has a great place in my lineup. I do find the Custom Flying V is my go to board so far.
2008 k2 gyrator 162 - POW stick, Burton p1 bindings
2011 capita ultrafear fk 155 - no new snow, park, screw around board, union contact pro
2012 Burton nug directional 152 - some new snow, all-mountain board, union atlas
I'm probably going to let go of the nug and ultrafear next year and buy a single board that will cover both. Like a park pickle, skate banana, or a longer ultrafear. It was annoying trying to decide which board to grab at times. I also think I went too big with the nug.
also picked up a 2013 Skatebanana 159. I think I still want to keep the ultrafear, though. Its such a sick board.
