Man, I remember when Lamar actually had a good product. Same with Morrow. Things have changed...

My first ever ride was on a Head. Don't know what kind, but it had pink all over it. Isn't anything else just a formality?

I love this board. I still have it, its retired. I rode it for four years. Its an element dbx package model. It was really too short for me but hey it made it out west, it made it on the east coast.

I am going to get a Head board for my sons first ride this year. Thats what he wants so thats what he gets.

The first board I ever owned and rode was a 80 something burton air. I still have its pretty ragged now. A bunch of gouges the heel side edge is ripping out in the back....

Burton Punch. Little board for a little gaffer.

first time I rented

K2 board of some type
Airwalk Boots
K2 bindings

The next year

K2 board with step in bindings with airwalk boots

I loved the airwalk boots

Last time I was in park city I was rented Head everything. It all sucked. Bad bindings(impossible to get open when cold) and the boots had the worst heel lift. So I bought my own stuff

First ride was on a Blacksnow with duck boots at the local sledding hill.
First owned was an 89/90 or 90/91 Burton Air 5. Black and blue topsheet with a yellow "AIR" on the tail.
Had those crappy three-strap Burton Flex bindings. Mounted at a ridiculous angle and stance width.
Burton Comp boots. Stiff and too high up the calf.
Looking back wish I went with the Freestyle boot and two-strap binding.
Kids are lucky now-a-days.
If I started with the set-up I have now it would have been much easier and more comfortable to learn.
