Hey All- I'm a 30 y/o from Chicago and have been riding since late high-school (around '00/'01 season so about 13 years now). I get out to the Rockies whenever I can, but mostly ride a ton of park out here in the midwest (since that's basically all you can do here). I would consider myself a decent all-around rider and I'm okay in park. I mainly focus on jumps and have some solid 3's and 5's down, this season I want to start dropping 7's and switch tricks. I also run a film company in my free-time. I look forward to being more active on this board!

Hi, Just joined the forum and really enjoying the wealth of information on here. I live in Krasnoyarsk in siberia although I'm from Australia. I've been boarding for about 7 years now and learned in NZ which I do an trip every year. Favorite mountain in NZ is Cardrona or Treble Cone if it gets a fresh dump. Boarded most slopes in Oz too.
I'm not sure exactly what level I'm at. Board about 30 days a year, more now I live in siberia. As I'm a bit older and heavier I tend to avoid the park but happy to hit drop offs or kickers. Mostly love to ride back country powder and often do plenty of hiking chasing it. I'm close enough to 6ft, fluctuate between 86-92kg. (around 193 pounds at the moment). I ride natural and have a size 10 (US) boot. I'm actually shopping for a new board at the moment as i left my current ride (159 Never Summer premier F1) in oz. I'm looking at purchasing a freeride board which handles powder well. It's a trade off as we have deep dry soft powder within 500km (In siberia 500km is local) but the local mountain has very little off piste (trees (taiga) are too thick and close together). My narrow list of boards to buy (as limited range here) is Bataleon Undisputed 163, salomon sick stick 163 or Gnu Billy Goat. After reading some reviews I may consider the NS Heritage as it seems to do everything. |

Hey, I'm from BC. I used to go to Mt Washington a few times per year but then I drifted away from boarding for a few years for various reasons. This year I'm excited to start up again in Whistler. I've got the basic skills down but I'm hoping to really move forward this season. My current gear is beaten up old Sims stuff but I'm hoping to pick up something better on sale or off craigslist during the season. Can't wait to get back on the mountain soon!

Hi everyone! I'm from central nj and I've been riding since I was 9 and I'm 20 now soooo that would make it about 11 years! (there have been a few seasons in there where I couldn't make it up to mountain at all due hs sports and stuff so it's probably closer to 8 haha) I just got a new set up this season so I'm stoked to try it out.
my set up - 2012 rossi diva magtek, 2012 rossi diva bindings, 2012 burton emerald boots |

I'm also in your area. Where do you ride? If you plan on hitting up the local hills in the Poconos or Catskills, maybe I'll see you out there. Enjoy your new set up! |
