Do some research, look around at different online shops. Stop being lazy.

We can probably give you good gear advice once you narrow it down to 2 or 3 options but outside of that its almost entirely your own riding style and preferences. No one knows how you like to and/or want to ride better than yourself.

i was thinking for boards either capita stairmaster 144, Rome Artifact 1985 (rocker, 145), or Forum Youngblood 145 (youth)

 

for bindings im not very sure. i want an all mountain-ish one but one i can still ride park with. there are awesome deals on burton c60 and cartels.

 

no clue on boots but id like something with BOA lacing or something like it.

I would highly advise against the BOA system. I NEVER had good luck with it and neather has my friends. Honestly stick with regular laces.

 

32 makes the team 2 boot which is a great boot. as well As the DC park series.

 

But like I said I would advise to stay away from the BOA system.

 

Oh and for Binders, Technine makes a great product and I have always had good luck with them. Ive heard great things about the new flux binders as well.

For all mountain bindings I would recommend Union Forces , solid binders .

Im going with Lib with BOA, I've heard horror stories about it. Stick with regular lacing, you have more customizable options with it, and if your lace breaks, just buy another 2 dollar pair of laces. If your BOA lace breaks, i hear it's a pain in the ass to fix.

 

And for bindings, I hear the Rome 390's are pretty solid for all around use, I have the targa's, but have yet to ride them, but they are really customizable and feel real good. I got the targa's for around 150, so you could probably find 390's for cheaper.

 

Could also go with a Burton Mission. I've had friends that rode these and loved them.

For boots 32 makes a solid boot.

 

Could probably score some 32 Lashed for around 100 bucks. Rode those all of last year, was happy with them, i just prefer something stiffer.

i love my rome bindings. ive had 2 pairs now and theyre great. plus rome has the best customer service ive delt with. and for boots i cant complain about my 32's. Theyre still in great shape after 150 days on them.

 

seriously the only advice you should be looking for is bindings. boots is just a matter of what feels the best and what fits your feet. you dont wanna buy boots without trying them on. nothing will ruin a day with your new gear then some sore feet.

im telling ya, BOA is great

no thanks, i'll pass

besides that their burton , no you should be fine

 

 

 

...actually alot of people love the cartels, im just not a burton guy myself. i find them over priced and too much plastic.

[Glenn]

Stay away from BOA.

 

32 or Salomon are the only boots you need to look at.

If your looking for a good all around binding, i'd really stay away from the C60. It's meant to be a freeride super stiff binding, not something you'd really want in the park.

 

I've heard mixed things about Cartels.

[Dan-]

how many of you guys have actually had BOA? I have nothing but great things to say about it and will never go back to regular laces

 

 

After all the bad things i've heard, and read about. I never even considered it. Your one person that has been lucky enough to never have had a problem. And your probably the only person i've ever seen that actually had good things to say about the BOA system.
