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

Hey guys!

I've read through these forums for the last couple of years and finally signed up! I'm a intermediate rider who lives in the Black Hills of SD. I always buy the summit/epic pass though, I spend a lot of time in CO.

Hopefully I can contribute to this forum and meet some cool people! Any other riders from the Rapid City area on board?

I like any kind of riding, I've been trying to advance in the park for the last couple of seasons, finally got some sloppy 5's down! :yahoo:

I'm in my thirties and ride since 10 years (acctualy I started in 1992, but I don't count those occasional days back then) around 30-40 days each season and it seems, I was a slow learner :dunno: 'cause I'd still call myself an itermediate. I still learn a lot each and every weekend.
I also do cross country horseback riding and wind surfing in summer. Next spring, I'll give kite surfing a try. I also try to convince my husband to try split, but he's a bit reluctant (=too lazy :D) but constant dripping wears away the stone...

Okay, I've lirked here starting last season when the hubby and I first took snowboarding lessons. It is now our second season and we are stoked to keep going and learning. Love the fun of improving, being in the mountains, and enjoying that with others. I totally love winter now! Being from the PNW, if you don't have a winter activity, it feels like winter lasts a LONG 9/10 months.

Just now getting into this thread

Hi Guys,

My name is Todd. I've been boarding for a few years, but I don't go as often as I'd like. I work long hours and hit the slopes a couple times a month. I'm originally from Oregon and used to go to Hood a lot. Now I'm in SoCal and Snow Valley/Big Bear are the spots.

Hooked on with a website when I moved down here that has deals like half off lift tix and buy 1 get 1 free deals. Won't spam ya but if you're interested, hmu!

noob

Hey, I'm Raúl and I'm 28. Discovered snowboarding this past weekend and I'm hooked. I've wanted to try it for years and just never got around to it. Now I feel like I've missed out all these years.

Have only been once, but headed out to a nearby mountain again tomorrow! Apparently being in New Jersey isn't the best for snowboarding, but I'll make do with what I have around me.

First post, so better do the intro. I'm Stephen, hailing from Dublin in Ireland, but now living in Calgary AB. I had been to Andorra skiing about 10 years ago, but when we moved to YYC, decided to hit the snowboarding slopes. did a bunch of lessons at COP after Christmas and got hooked (as well as a pretty bruised tailbone that's still not right:dizzy:), will be looking to buy my own deck fairly soon and keep it going.

New Torontonian

Hey everyone, I'm Kelley Bates. I'm 18 years old (19 next week) and this is my 8th season riding.
I usually only went about once or twice a year, but I finally just got a board so I can stop renting and go more frequently.
I live in Mississauga now but I spent a good amount of my life in Brampton and I was born and raised in Toronto.

I'd say that I'm a decent rider, and favor speed over tricks but I'm trying to get into the terrain park.
I just want to progress as quickly as possible now. :hope:

Also, I'm riding a 2012/13 GNU Street Series if anyone cares.

Anyways, thought I would just post here and say hi :laugh:

Hello everyone, I am Sam, I'm 21, I live in Calgary AB, and I've been riding for about 8 years.

I like to ride park, and all-mountain type snowboarding, but I try not to limit myself. Just picked up a burton custom and I have been getting more and more comfortable with high speeds.

I consider myself to be a fairly decent rider, I can comfortably do 360's in the park on Large size jumps, spin in/out of rails, etc. As for riding the mountain I haven't backed away from a run yet! (I do however scare myself from time to time) I enjoy medium sized cliffs/drops and natural features.

This guy sucks. Don't believe a word he says... :D

No seriously, this is my riding buddy from work, he's the reason I'm pushing it harder in the park this year. Pisses me off that he can just huck cool tricks off everything!

Welcome to the forum! :yahoo:

Hello, my names Matt I'm from buffalo ny and I've snowboarded once. I'm more into downhill/freerideing longboarding but I did get to snowboard for the first time about 1 week ago and I picked it up quickly and enjoyed it greatly. I look forward to learning more about snowboarding and buying my first board.

Antelope Valley - Mtn High

Just wanted to say :thumbsup: to a great website. I used it a lot when purchasing my new equipment and improving my riding skills

Allen
Antelope Valley Ca, Mtn High is my main mountain
34 years of age been riding since I was 18.

I have been riding this airwalk 155 POS since my early 20s cause that was all I could afford. Rode my friends NS Proto CT at the start of this season and couldn't believe the difference and now I regret not buying a new board earlier.

Currently GNU PP 159 w/Rome 390s. Absolutely love it!

Thanks again for all tips. My current agenda is to really work on buttering and to become very consistent and confident in straight airs.

Hello from the UK!

Hi everyone,

At 40 years old, I am totally new to bite this forum and to snowboarding!
I play ice hockey but I've only been boarding 5 times at my local indoor slope with a massive total of 8hrs on the snow..... I love it!!!!

I think I'm getting loads better every time I go out but I am too keen to "run before I can walk"!!!
By this, I mean trying out small jumps and stuff before mastering the basic technique... :huh: I know, I need to get hold of that!!!!

Anyway, that's where I'm at and I am sure I'll land those jumps, ride switch and perform butter tricks soon enough...

"EDIT"

My set up is a Signal Omni Wavelength, Union Force Bindings and Northwave Freedom boots.



Bye for now!!!
