I will start this thread.

I am 24 years old, live in Toronto Canada.

I grew up in Regina, Saskatchewan (where there is a ton of snow) so naturally i have gone both skiing and snowboarding.

I'm still a beginner snowboarder, but hope to learn lots at Snowboarding Forum :D

First time boarder, lifetime addict.

What's up, 28 yoa dude from Western KY. Just got back from Paoli Peaks in Paoli, IN and I am now in love.

Your board selection guide is amazing. Thank you very much.

Hope to get my own equipment and a season pass up there. It's the closest park to me and its 3 hours away but well worth the drive. Can't wait to read all the info on this site.

New Boarder

Hey every1

I am relatively new to boarding (well properly anyway) first learnt in NZ about 12 years ago but completely forgot everything so started up again a few months ago - cant get enough of it!!!

Tho i think my knees and wrists would have something to say about it lol

Happy boarding everyone

Whats up guys. My name is Dan, I'm 20. Just started snowboarding like 3 weeks ago. Went up to the mountain only twice though. I have been skateboarding for about 7 years so the transition into snowboarding wasn't so hard.

Right now I'm using my friends Skate Banana with some ride bindings. I hope to get my own board next year. Looks like snowboarding is definitely going to break the bank...
I plan on getting a roof rack for my 2004 STi too, since my board doesn't fit in my car. Always thought Subarus looked good with roof racks. Now I have an excuse to get one. haha.

Hey folks. Just started snowboarding this season. I'm an Australian living in Japan.

We took a trip up to Niseko for about a week, and I spent last weekend in Gunma. I'm completely addicted to the sport and it's all I can think about. Hopefully I'll get my own gear this year.

Hello all. :)

I'm from the DC area. Just went snowboarding again for the first time in about 6 years last week. Mostly stayed on the bunny hills back then, but am now looking to expand my horizons to bigger and better hills! :) I've lurked a little around here the past few days while I've been researching boards and it seems like a nice place. :)

Cheers.

Excellent forum and i have already found lots of useful info on upcoming replacement gear. This will be my 6th consecutive season snowboarding. Bay Area native and I'm no pro but can shred the mountain pretty well...jumps not so much. Looking forward in learning more and maybe one day provide some tips and pointers. :cool:

Whats up guys!? Stoked to be able to post. Stoked on snowboarding. Mt. High, Sothern California is my local mountain but I try to get to any other mountain i can. Hoping to get to UT and maybe CO this year. Already hit Mammoth after the 15ft dump.

Love the site there is always new info on here about something i don't know enough about.

here I go...

Hey everyone! Finally getting around to introducing myself - I just started boarding this season and I'm completely addicted. My only regret is not having started sooner!

I was in Aspen (Snowmass) over Christmas/New Years' for about 10 days and am planning trips up to Killington, VT in Feb and Tahoe in March. I've been using Blue Mountain in PA to hone my skills in the mean time :)

Totally dig this forum and have already gotten a lot of helpful information, looking forward to getting to know some of you!

Cheers,

RH

Woot!!

I am addicted to snowboarding. I found myself constantly reading information about the sport in my spare time, anything from info on techniques to waxing. Google kept leading me here, and I soon realized this place well... rocks.

I consider myself an intermediate snowboarder, but I hope to become advanced soon. I live in the lower mainland in BC where prices are inflated as hell. Nevertheless, snowboarding is more than worth it!

Whats up guys?! Im new to the threads, I must say that this forum is legit. I have been looking all over the internet for snowboarding forums and i only kept finding skiing forums haha. Im glad I found on. Anyways, my name is Austin Thompson, Im from Richmond VA, and go to school at Liberty university which is home of the only snowflex in the US.

I have a few questions about the forums:
What is the whole credits thing? I tried researching them and found nothing?
Also what are the perks of becoming a lifetime member?

Thanks everyone
 
#1,278 ·
Welcome people!

I've learned the credits thing is an old system that doesnt apply anymore.. use to be the more frequent of a member you were with consistant postings the more credits you'd have to cash in and earn rewards? or something rather. The longer the time between posting your credits get docked.. the sooner the more they boost. BUT it doesn't really matter

And I'm not one.. but I believe the biggest perk of being a lifetime member is less advertisements.


Alright back to X-Games. Peace.

I just started snowboarding this year after a 15 year hiatus from skiing. I'm already hooked and keep coming back to this forum for tips and pointers. Hoping to hone my skills this year on the local mountains and maybe make some trips next year. Looking forward to learning from the rest of the more seasoned riders on here.

First Post!

I am from Guatemala. I live in Rock Hill, SC. My home mountain is Appalachian Ski Resort...I began riding in Winter Park, Colorado, but I've learned to love East Coast cr&%$. Im interested in learning more about board maintenance and tuning.

I look forward to learning and sharing with all here...

First post? Sure, why not.. Hey I'm Ben, hailing from Auckland NZ. Been lurking here for a while now soaking up as much info as possible. I'd certainly describe myself as beginner level, having snowboarded a handful of times, always on rental equipment. Decided this year I'd actually get into it properly and make more of an effort to get to the snow (you can NEVER have too many expensive hobbies:rolleyes:).

I'll be rockin a Bataleon Hero 153 with Ride Contraband bindings and Burton Moto boots, setting it all up this week and then hitting my local "slope" :laugh: as much as possible

Heading to Queenstown for 10 days this season so will be getting as much practise as I can in before then :p

Now back to perusing pictures and stories of poeple whos ability far exceeds my own lol

Hello!

Hey I'm Soren from North Island of New Zealand which is the southern hemisphere's equivalent of the east coast(Australia is Texas)My home mountain is Turoa and I usually get 20-30 days, wish I could get more.

I'm 14 years old which I'm pretty sure automatically makes me a douchebag, I first went snowboarding 4 years ago. I ride an Omatic Extr Eco with 390s and hails.
I've lurked here forever and just decided to join.

What up

My name is Colin, I'm 22, this is my 15th year snowboarding. I live in Green Bay, WI, but I spent the last 3 years stationed in Italy with the US army. Been all over the place on a board, be more than happy to answer anyone's questions.

peace
