Wats up, new to the forum and kinda new to boarding. I went boarding couple times last yr with rental equipment and loved it. So I guess I went over the top and bought the new 2010 skate banana and the 2009 Ride Contraband binding. Cant wait to use them. Think I went a lil ovr the top?

dmojr

it was that or keep renting right? ha

Glade Ripper

no such thing as going over the top if you love it. might as well get a good board, it will help you progress and will be WAYYYY better than renting that's for sure

True but i was jst trying to c if that is too much board for a beginner?

Nah you'll be fine just get out and ride! What boots did ya get? I have had certain boots that don;t fit well at all with Contrabands FYI. Amazing my Ride boots fit fine!

I actually havent got boots yet? Ne ideas of sme good boot that would stick in the contrabands. Only requirment is that they gta b BOAS!! boot size is 10. and im 6ft 2 bout 170ish

If you want something Ride that should work with that binding I would look at the Crew Focus BOA. Definitely get a double BOA IMO!

Wat about the DC Judge 09 boots? They also have the double BOA.

The people above me are right, so long as you've got the right size you should be fine. And they're right, it just feels like you're going over the top because it's the first of many purchases of kick ass snowboarding gear.

Just don't be a snob about it on the mountain, wiat 'till you've got the skill too back up all the shiney new gear you've got to start bragging.
