  1. Bindings
    Is it safe to buy second hand bindings as a newbie to snowboarding? I have just got my first board and I’m looking to get started, however I can’t justify spending hundreds and hundreds on this new hobby yet. Any recommendations on what would be best?

    Hi! Just found this forum and I'm pretty excited to pick the collective brain - my backstory: Infatuated with skateboarding when I was young and in GOOD shape (yeah yeah round IS a shape but it's not a very sporty shape LOL)!

    So I have never snowboarded before. I used to ski quite a lot but this winter I've decided to give snowboarding a try. I discovered that it's basically cheaper to buy used equipment online than to rent a couple times. I found boots that fit great but I'm struggling with a board. Obviously I've...

    So I went snowboarding for the first time and was hooked. I knew I was going to be taking this up as a hobby so I decided to buy a board.

    So I've snowboarded three times last season and fell in love though I'm not that great at it. My legs always felt awkward and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't seem to maneuver quite right.
