Hey, first post here. I have snowboarded ten years (couple of times in a season) and I am now wanting to buy a new board. Do anyone have reviews on this board " Slash Straight Snowboard 2022/23 | slashsnow.com " or any kind of suggestions? Mainly looking for that because local shop has that...

Hi, I just bought new boots and it looks like I might need new bindings. My old combination is Nitro Crown (US 8.5) ~ 15/16 and Burton Escapade Size M 14/15. I just got Vans Viaje (US 8) and the heel is too big to fit the old binding. Looks like adjusting won’t help. I need to buy new bindings...

Been boarding casually my whole life and wanna start riding comp and had a few questions. 1. Any resources to keep track of local competitions? in Colorado and hoping to not have to shell out the money this season on USASA member ship as the ski pass/gear upgrades ill need are kinda hitting the...

I’m 5’7, Size 9 (shoes), about 147- 150lbs. Should I get a 152 or a 155 sized board?

I'm looking for a dedicated powder board that I can still carve hard and get creative with. Torn between these two boards. I live in California and mainly go to Big Bear, Mammoth Mountain, and Tahoe. Basically want a short and wide board. On a scale of 1 to 10 ability wise I think I'm a 5 or 6...

Hi All, I just recently booked a trip to Europe and I’m looking for recommendations on a board bag. I’m looking at bags with wheels to get around the airport and the top bags seem to be Burton. The Wheelie Gig Bag, Wheelie Board Case and Wheelie Locker. I don’t have crazy amounts of gear. 1...

Hey all, I've been shopping around for my first personally-owned snowboard (I've made it through about 5 seasons borrowing friends' and coworkers' gear). I recently bought a used Salomon board from a local outdoor gear consignment store for $25. It was even my size. But the problem is I'm not...

I just needed some advice on gear. I am thinking about getting a new board and bindings. I am currently riding a k2 push series 152 with k2 sonic bindings. Both are from around 2008 (so like 13 years old), I bought it as my first board two years ago from someone. It is a traditional camber board...

I'm looking at the Yes. Jackpot at the moment, and I'm not sure if I should go for the 156 or 158. I'm a skinny tall dude at 6ft and 150-160lbs and 9.5 boot. Currently ride a 2016 Salomon Assassin 155 which during my last trip I found to be a bit short. (At speed and boosting off side hits it...

I'm looking to move up from a 155 Salomon Assassin (2015-2016). Being 6ft, I found the nose and tail to be a bit too short, and my bindings are already maxed out on the mounting holes. I'll probably keep it around for 100% park sessions, but I don't think I can rely on it for the rest of the...

Hey guys, so I've gone Snowboarding probably 4 or 5 times, and am looking to buy my gear so i can avoid renting all the time. Im looking into used gear since its my first board and stuff and found a couple great deals. Just asking about which ones you recommend I go for. Theres a K2 Altera...

Hey guys! Long overdue, but I just purchased the GoPro Hero3 Black. I didn't see any reviews on here, but If there is a thread that I missed, my apologies. Can anyone comment on the pros and cons that they have had with the camera? Best ways to use? I can't decide if I want to explore the...

Hey, I'm a new boarder and loving it. I bought a board but it's slightly too long and it's actually a woman's board (i'm not a woman) but I don't know if that makes that much of a difference. Just don't want to get laughed off the slopes.....any advice? Anyone know someone selling a 145 board...
