First Gear Purchase for 2010/2011 Season

[Ride Delaware ?]

I just picked up a pair of Burton Gore-Tex Under Mitts off ebay... I currently have a set from 3 years ago and love them... I'll probably be picking up Rome's Believer and a Burton Malolo to add to my quiver by the end of the summer too... Other than those additions, I may add some pants if I find a pair on sale or a traveling board bag... Other than the boards though, there isn't much on my needs list... Start the convo and start the stoke!!!

I've been really good about buying gear this off-season.

Wow Root, this is very unlike you... Has the wife put you on a budget or are you just losing your tough in your old age?

I know right. I'm keeping controls on my gear spending 'cause I think I'm getting a new car. That counts as ski gear right?

[Ride Delaware ?]

Depends on the car?

Just picked up some Spy goggles off of Brociety

I'm waiting for the new Rome boards to come out. The Agent Rocker is coming out in a 159 this year, and that should do the trick. I may also get a NeverSummer Premier F-1R as a freeride/powder board.

just picked up a pair of crowbars last week. most of my summer purchases have been bike or surf related.

Hope you got a good price of those or I'm gonna smack you.

 

For the first summer in a long time, i don't really need anything. Might pick up a Forum Destroyer, if i can get rid of my Salomon answer, and i'd like some khaki gore pants but i don't really need them. I've got so much shit it's come to the point i have no room for anything else.

If anyone has a men's small or medium jacket they want to sell let me know. David got 2 years out of his and I don't think I can squeeze him into it again.

Couldn't stand the itch any longer and just ordered a NeverSummer Premier F-1R 163. It'll be my Jackson Hole/AM Blue Crew board for the most part. The stoke market is steadily climbing.

update: dude from NeverSummer just called to let me know when the new boards are coming out. totally chill guy, but he sounded pretty lonely. it was pretty tough to get him off the phone. my new pal is now sending me a hat, shirt, and stickers. pretty cool.

Bought my first item for 2010 a nice new set of Rome Targa bindings Next I plan to pick up a fresh 158 Rome Graft to mount them on.

love my Targas. pretty interested to see the 2011 ones with the canted footbeds. the Graft is a hot board, too.

[DiMe]

I love the graft. I bought a used one last season prob 2006 model and it's just the perfect flex. Can't wait to get a new one

 

Do you use those CFlex inserts on your Targa's? The whole idea seems kind of silly to me but I guess you can't knock it until you try it.

I use the small/medium flex one for no other reason than it's more comfortable on my boots. The firm one is REALLY firm. Don't even bother. You probably won't need 'em, especially if you're in the park a lot.

I've been in the park less and less as I get older. The 2010 Targas only come with one set of cflex inserts unless there is already one inside the binding by default that I haven't noticed.

 

I haven't played with them to much don't want to get over excited since we still have 3-4 months to go.

About the park: you and me both. My pair came with the mediums installed in them and the firms in the box. It's pretty easy to fuck around with them on the mountain since all the inserts can fit in your pocket.

I had them 2-3 years ago. I personally didn't like them. They were heavy and they hurt the top of my foot for some odd reason.

Ah ha! You are right the softer ones are already installed in there, I think I will give them a go first
