I wanted to try some of theirs, but just didn't have the time to do it after I hit the required number of reviews.

The only board I rode that wasn't on my list was Michigan-made Marhar snowboards out of Grand Rapids.

Spoiler alert:

Their all-mountain deck was the standout of Day 2 for me.

Is Summit Sports the same company as Snowboards.net?

Are those Michigan companies?

Yes and yes.

Summit, Don Thomas Sport Haus, Snowboards.net, Skis.com and Womensskis.com all part of the same company based in Michigan.

Sweet, good to know. I try and check out local (like Lansing's Modern Skate and Surf and Summit) whenever I can. I haven't had the chance to buy anything from them yet but I do go there first.

Not I, I am still on my self inflicted 2 week hiatus waiting for my ribs to heal. Hopefully next week I will be back in line with my "at least once a week" philosophy for this season. Cracked ribs are a bitch.

No doubt, I believe its you, me and Dave now. Anyone else want to add to the cracked ribs list?

Leo · 02-10-2011, 07:55 AM

No rib injuries for me. Just a sore tailbone and some tight shoulders. Though, I didn't jib like you guys did. I'm still on the widest box known to man :P

david_z · 02-10-2011, 08:01 AM

my ribs are healed up pretty much, still a little tender but it no longer hurts to breathe, cough, twist, roll over in bed, etc.

I did almost rip my shoulder out of socket on Tuesday afternoon though. It is sore now but I can tell I didn't sprain/break/tear anything. THat was a very close call

I also liked the bs 180 to face plant. Leo, I think you did one of those, too?
