Saurus Posted July 9, 2006 Report Posted July 9, 2006 Photos by request: Burton Blunt 151 Burton Sabbaths Check the detail on these things Anon Figments Kinda boring, but I'm not a big fan of gaudy goggles. how did you get all that for free. And your angles look super mellow. Quote
DHarrisburg Posted July 10, 2006 Report Posted July 10, 2006 how did you get all that for free. And your angles look super mellow. Goggles and bindings were flow, board and boots are "extended demos." I ride somewhere around 23 1/2 inches wide and 15/-12. The angle I took the photo at might make it look a little wonky. Quote
DHarrisburg Posted July 10, 2006 Report Posted July 10, 2006 I just traded out the Blunt for a 151 Twin. Photos when I get my camera back. Quote

(ill buy new boots). thanks in advance dude how old are you? you're thinking about hanging it up already and switching to skiing...sure i plan to do the same some day...in the distant, distant future.... anyway im in the market for new gear...i have basically decided on a burton retro twin 152 snowboard, and either northwave or 32 boots...but i dont know about bindings...either a pair of burtons or technines because both have baseplates( or availible baseplates) compatible with burton boards, are there any other bindings compatible with burtons with a cap strap...what are your binding suggestions Quote

Quote
clashboy Posted July 17, 2006 Report Posted July 17, 2006 Try and find some cheaper twins at the Ski Corner because of there sick deals. thanks sno. yah i got my board there and i got 100-150 off the complete package. twins look pretty sick, but r they the best to learn on? and wat do u think a good size would be for me and wats a used setup cost? I always liked the bumper stickers that said "Snowboarding is just a fad".. snowboarding isnt a fad its here to stay. honestly why do u have to hit on riding? you dont see me bad mouthing skiing do u?

sexkitten Posted July 17, 2006 Report Posted July 17, 2006 Sexkitten, I'll expect to see you tearing up the park at BC this coming winter. You can expect to see me falling in the park, hurting myself and flipping off the picnic table. Sorry but I blow in the park (not literally, although at least I look like I know what I'm doing at that). I actually like jumps but I like them less steep so I can get more distance and less height. I really do want to be able to play in the park a little bit next season though, so I have been practicing my flips and handsprings on the ground. So far this summer I haven't had the chance to practice with my skis on the tramp but I will. I like the park at BC when there is no one there, like early morning and late night. Quote

sexkitten Posted July 17, 2006 Report Posted July 17, 2006 i'll take the daytime traffic over the late night ice...it hurts Not when you are padded like I am. Kidding. Luckily for us we did most of our night sessions at BC late in the season when it needed to be night to keep the slush together. I like ice BTW. When I conquer it I feel all proud and indestructible...like I can ski anything...which is far from the truth. OK, I live in a fantasy world, whatever. Quote

train36 Posted August 16, 2006 Report Posted August 16, 2006 I want to get a new all mountain board, probably a never summer SL 158 and a new freeride board which will most likely be a neversummer premier 161 or neversummer t5 163. What size freeride board do you think I should get, size nine boots, 180 lbs. You think the 161 or 163, I don't want it to be too long for the trees but I still want to float in the powder when I head west. I was thinking I could pull off the 161, what you think? Quote

If you have problems floating the 161... there are problems. So that shouldn't really be a consideration. Pretty set on the neversummer brand eh? Quote
train36 Posted August 16, 2006 Report Posted August 16, 2006 (edited) So you think the 161 will be fine? I have a NS Evo for the park and love it, there are durable, nohting wrong with the base after a year of beating it sown in BC's park. They are also made in the USA which is a plus and come with a 3 year warranty. I was looking at a couple other boards though, Ride Prophet 163 and Atomic Alibi 163 for my freeride board.

Unless you are doing tons of powder riding (20+ days) it doesn't make sense to get a larger board for float alone. 161 should float without to much work. Best to get the size that works best for your typical riding situation, specifically PA hardpack, riding park at BC. I'd say the 161, or even something shorter since it's park riding. What does the neversummer website say about board sizing in your weight range? Your boots are small enough you won't really have to worry too much about drag, especially if you have a short boot design. My 9 1/2s never cause me trouble. Quote
train36 Posted August 16, 2006 Report Posted August 16, 2006 I won't be riding park with this board, I have a NS Evo 155 for that which I mainly use at BC since its such a small resort and the park is really the only thing there. The 158 I plan on getting will be used as an all mountain board for resorts like Blue, Elk etc. when I fell like cruising and doing a lap or two in the park. The 161 or 163 will be used just to freeride, no park, when I head to Vermont a few times a year and out west for a week or so. I think I might be beter of with the 161, good for the trees in Vt. but still should float me okay out west. Quote
