Hey!

[Cakalacky = North Carolina]

I'm a newbie to boarding, living in Raleigh, NC. But, this past winter my wife turned me onto it and I am sick about snowboarding now! Made it to Zermatt, Switzerland this past May, but didn't get on the slopes. sigh. Next trip, for sure!

However, I'm heading to Denver in April '08 for a work conference. Gonna pop over to Vail for a lil mountain top boarding for a couple of days. Yeah, I know - not ideal. But, hey, I'm gonna be in CO already... and just 2 hours from Vail... so let's hit it!

Looking forward to getting serious and more skilled on a deck... but mainly to stop fallin' down! LOL

Cya,

Ian

Well, where to start... Oke, I'm living in one of the flattest countries in the world (The Netherlands) So no mountains to ride We have some of the largest indoor slopes of the world, but that doesnt come near a real mountain.
Gladly I can escape this country onces in a while for some real snow (Will go to La Plagne,France in 3 weeks).
Have been boarding for a few years now, always have rented my gear until this year. Was tired of mounting my big feet (US size 14) on small boards etc.

2 months ago I bought :
- Ride Decade 162w (not the most populair board on this forum, but I like it)
- Burton Rulers
- Burton Missions

Hey this is jamman here. I live in northern Michigan and I've been snowboarding about a little over a year now. My home mountain is Nubs Nob, which is basically in my backyard, and happens to be where I work. I've already learned a lot of new stuff and look forward to getting to know all you guys!

Hey. My name is Ian and i'm 13 years old. I'm a Downhill skateboarder and just really got into snowboarding this year. I finally realized how fun it is when I went to Okemo and I didn't want to stop. I hope to get better and just have fun.

george..

Hi im george. i live in houston texas but was born and raised in anchorage alaska. i miss the snow alot and only go snow boarding once a year . after a recent trip i have decided to get involved in the community and buy my own stuff. so i decided that a good first step was to join a forum.

What's going on,

name is Dre and I'm over in the Trenton/Princeton area. This is my second season snowboarding and I've become obsessed. Since the season is coming to a close I figure this forum will be a great way to fill the void.
