Hello
Joined this forum ages ago, but think I only posted once in 2009 or something. I've been frequenting more European and UK specific sites over the years but thought I'd reacquaint myself with this community.
I'm a 42 year old father of 2. Been boarding one or two weeks a year for 20 years or so. Have only ever boarded in Europe.
I have always been a bit of a speed demon, and stick 99% to the piste, maybe venturing into shallow powder if it's right next to the piste, but nothing more than that.
For the last 8 years I've ridden 2 different editions of the Salomon Burner, and an F2 eliminator in 164-167 lengths, and I'm still rockin' my switch binding system (shock, horror!) which must be getting on for 15 years old now.
I toyed with hard booting but think I'm too old to be learning new tricks these days so aint gonna bother with it any more. Maybe if I lived somewhere where I could go boarding all the time it'd be worthwhile, but for my 1 week a year with the wife and kids, I don't want to spend my time learning again.
Looking forward to chatting with you all, on both boarding and non-boarding matters.
