As somebody who is on the slopes at least 30 days a year (probably the only good thing about living in Austria), I can sincerely say that the equipment hardly matters.

Board: F2 Wideglide that I picked up 3 years ago. It was already 2 years old back then. The core is wood and it's quite wide&light, so it's good for powdering.
Bindings: Burton Ray, 4 or 5 years old. Probably the only "premium" part of my equipmen, but bindings last forever.
Boots: Stuf, some cheapass Chinese brand. They fit well and keep me warm.

In total, this cost me less than 300 Euros.

Basically, as long as you wax your board and sharpen your edges once a week, you're golden on anything other than stepins.

Arbor A Frame 171, which is entirely too much board for my 6'1 165 pound frame, but fuck you. I carve up the backcountry like I'm a serial killer. I also ride a shitty little Limited 159, because dropping money to ride on ice in Wisconsin is fucking stupid. My bindings and boots for both are the oh-so-hated Burton SI's. Fuck you again, I like my step-in's and I've been using them for 4 seasons now.
Try some decent softboots and bindings, you'll be amazed. I did my first season when I was 11 or so (was as skier until then) in stepins, and even after like 20 days of snowboarding I was able to tell the difference between stepins and real bindings.

i think the boot to binding is pretty key. it makes a big differnece to the response of the board.

paradigm_shift thats some top end gear right there. I ride ions too (05-06 season). I was chilling with some snowboard instructors (level 3 CASI certified freestyle coach), and there was some serious hatin on the new fast-tie boots. i personally love my ions. whats your take on the new lacing systems?

Wow what did they have to say about the Ions? I dont think I've ever read any negative review on the speed-lacing system. I love my Ions too, just pull to your desired tightness/fit, tuck'em in, and off you go, never have to readjust. I ultimately chose them over the Boa-system enabled boots because the 1st generations had problems with the lace-eyelets ripping off, and the laces themselves breaking. It seems that they've adressed those problems though, my friend just recently purchased the DC Judge boots and the eyelets are steel-reinforced, and the laces are made of steel fibers.

I tend to hire gear (Rossignol or Burton if I can) when I'm away boarding (no space on the TGV) but have been buying accessories like Cebe helmet and Uvex goggles.

Here's a q: What are step-in board bindings like? They seem like a good idea but not many boarders have them. Any help is apprciated.

I love step-ins. The ride is not as tight as with a soft boot and strap binding, you lose a good amount of toe control, but the heel is basically the same. I like them for Wisconsin, because it takes 12 seconds to get up the stupid ski lift and strapping in after a 30 second run is borderline retarded. I started off my life in SI's and I've been swayed to the dark side of "regular" bindings by multiple pro riders, but I flipped them all off and stuck with my first loves.

Incidentally, my backcountry stomping grounds were smashed by that stupid avalanche in Colorado this past week. Wasn't going to hit it this season anyway, but it made me twitch a little.

^ Prior to getting the Idiom set up, I rode a Burton Supermodel (159) with Burton SI's.
Aside from the weight issue (boots are crazy heavy), it was a smooth smooth ride. Like a Caddy, especially in powder w/ bindings set back. Too smooth!
I too was swayed by the darkside and went back to straps and even though sitting in the snow to strap-in doesn't bug me too much, it was much easier to just step in right off the lift. I still have my boots/bindings and I will NEVER give up the Supermodel!!!! Such a great board.

What kind of board are you looking for? Powder? Park? All-around? To be quite honest, I think that everyone should own a Nidecker at some point in their lives, so let's all buy a full set-up. I road a 04' Platinum once and it made my head explode with amazingness.

poly800rock

01-12-2007, 11:10 PM

probably all round with more focus not on powder as the poconos are the closest mountain to me. i've been out of the game for so long, i'm trying to get back into it, but its so expensive and money and time are tight nowadays...but bindings and boots are my main concern now.

I absolutely agree. Expensive boards are completely overrated.

I have never tried those fast lace boots, but if they fit well and stay tight, I don't see what's wrong with them.

As for step ins, they gave me more problems that anything else when I tried them. Besides the obvious lack of precise control, I also had several incidents where I got snow into the part you're supposed to step in and it froze. Doing normal bindings takes all of 5 seconds, and you can do the second foot when you're already riding. I just don't see the additional convenience

wild style

01-14-2007, 02:56 AM

I switch it up between my Signal 155 wide, Gnu DK 153, and Gnu Rider's Choice magnetraction 154.5.

For boots and bindings I use Burton Ion boots and Cartel bindings.

Wild Style: how do you like the step child? I haven't gotten a chance to try them out yet, only one shop around here carries them.

Signal, nice! My buddy rides a 53, he seems to like it. I've also got my eyes set on a 53 lib tech travis rice magnetraction. Got to ride it last year at the on snow at Stratton, soo dope. The latchkey is a decent little jib board especially for the price. The Simon Chamberlain kills it though!

step-in are fine if you are just cruising around (which i guess is what the majority of ppl do), but if you are serious about riding, go with regular binding. the extra control you have is well worth the extra 5 seconds you'll have to spend strapping. the fact that no pro is riding step-in is a good indication that however how much they have improved over the past years, they are still inferior to regular binding.

as for me:
Capita board
Option board for powder days (believe me, these don't happen so often on the east coast, i really miss living in Whistler)
Drake binding

Yeah I'm actually the Signal rep for New England so I guess I'm a little biast, but they ride really smooth and solid. Although, in my opinion, nothing compares to magnetraction. You have to try it. I don't know if anybodies heard (yet) but Travis Rice is coming out with a new board called the Banana Hammock for next year. It's shaped like a banana and apparently, it's all he rides now.

If you're going to the on snow at Stratton this year hit up the Mervin tents, I'll be turning screws.

hey i was there on sunday and monday but i didnt demo any boards. How often do you ride bear, i'm usually there everyweekend and if i can't make it i usually hit up mt high. We should ride sometime.

Any Rome riders here or am i the only one?

my setup is:

Burton Moto boots (super old)

The lumbergh is a Rome Artifact Shape with the Agent Core. It was a Limited Edition for last year. They made like 150 of the 153 model and 150 156's but i think it might be the graft this year? something like that. Its a dope board and i pretty much always ride park.

sorry. late reply i've been on holiday.

the complaint was that the tightness around the shin was nice and snug, excepte that the lacing system for the lower parts of the boot could've been tighter. which is why the new ions have upper and lower speed lacing i htought. so it definitely works for my ions, except the Boa system might be lacking.

I have to say I like it alot, I'm not the most proficient boarder, but its got a nice pop, not too soft, and its really easy to spin, its one of the more wider boards ive ridden, and its pretty stable at speed, base is pretty fast out the box, i think itd be good for a park board, but the uninc is a pretty sweet board also no?

As for the toe-cap, I have Burton Idiom bindings and the toe-cap has never moved. You might need to "lengthen" the strap with the adjustment holes. I don't know. The the only thing I can think of.

If your wanting a new board just for jibbing buttering kinda stuff, an Uninc would be a great choice. Are you thinking of next years Uninc? I was able to try next years in a 154 and it was amazing, only thing though is you need Burton bindings cause of the two hole slider system, if you know about that, it was on the late release Jeremy Jones this year. As for the toe caps there wasn't a problem when I tried out the bindings, I was able to try the P1, P1 Speed zone and the Est. I have Ride Beta's right now and the Burton cap strap system is alot better than Rides convertible system in my opinion, Burtons are really comfy you don't notice them, unless you crank em down.

funkytechnician- damn i loved that uninc mirror.

for the rest of you- I ride burton p1-mds (05 seasons i think, when they had p1md and p1-hds). My front strap snapped beginning this season so i bought some toe caps. They always fucking slide but ur right, i can hardly feel them half the day its so good.

speaking of feeling the bindings, i dont know where it comes from, but i find that at the beginning of the day, if i strap my top binding in too tightly, my foot starts hurting. I can't describe the pain, but it feels really strained and tired. the awesome thing of the toecap is that i can tighten as much as i want and still not feel it.

How much should i do the top up? Is there a rule of thumb? My theory is that when the day starts, your foot is smaller but as more blood goes thru during the day, it expands so it gets constricted... true false?

I work for a shop that is the biggest dealer of Burton in Canada, so we were on their list to try the stuff out when the time came. The slider system is based of the two hole pattern of this years Uninc, except you have to pop out to stoppers that are at the end of the insert to slide in the bottom locking pieces. From there the two pieces can slide up and down in unision to easily change your stance settings with fully takingoff your binding, you just have to loosen the bolts abit. With Burton there is no need to worry about stuff breaking at the time that I was able to try it out it had already been tested for two years and had gone through production trial and error so the product was equivalent to next years stuff that will be on the shelves. The other crazy thing is that Burton is already doing some of their production for the 2009 season already, which means they are already developing 2011 stuff I think, cause they work two years in adavance from their current production.

yeah burton quality is def up there imho. im not sure why people are so quick to hate on them for being some corporate monster. well regardless. their stuff works and for the most part is bulletproof in my experience. i still have an A-Deck and bindings from like 98 that are in rideable condition.

I just picked up a pair of black cartels during off-season sales to use next year, should be a nice match with the idiom deck. I've heard a lot of good things about them and I wanted an upgrade so I figured the timing was good. I was using some older burton cfx's that my bro passed down to me and those were great bindings, but my backup bindings (cheapy freestyles) broke so now the CFX's are going onto the backup board.

I've never been to skidazzle, but I'm surprised you were able to find the UnInc there... I thought most of the things they carried were leftovers and smaller brands. Nice pickup :)

^In terms of gloves i tried this shit Naturals Miracle and it neutralized almost all of the smell in the glove...they were pipe gloves though so i duno what your set up is, maybe oxy clean it...

Im ridin a Burton complete - Balance 152.5 with black and gold Missions and Freestyle boots...boards too small though and the base is jacked

Damn, I haven't checked this thread in a while...

thefunkytechnician, nice board, exactly like mine with different bindings

what do you mean by big? wide?

i ride a 05 Burton Custom right now. Its too stiff for my just jibbing n shit so anyone got something flexible? I was thinking Uninc for a bit

Got a question on toe caps. Does anyone find that they slide up the boot too easily? they never stay on the toe...

Big as in long. My Uninc is pretty flexy, especially compared to the Dominant, but I've heard good things about the Custom as two of my friends ride 'em haha. Oh, and my toe caps (for Burton Missions) never slide up but my friend's convertible straps on his Saloman bindings (not sure what kind) slide up all the time

BTW, does anyone have any experience with the newer Flows?

i've never done this but why not just throw them in the wash and spray them with some 3m. my girl just sprays her burton gores with some repellent before riding and it works like brand new. doesn't look new but keeps the moisture out. i never checked but maybe the gloves have a care label. if your going to try it, try it on an old pair and see the results for yourself.

setup:
board: nitro team 157
bindings: cartels
boots: sabbath

i have burton gore gloves and i dont remember if they had this suggestion, but i know for the cargo pants they say to occasionally treat them with additional water repellent, season is practically over for me, so i wonder if it makes a difference if i spray them now or wait until right before i start going next season..

I've actually want to begin snowboarding.

I have a few times some years ago but never really got into it too much because of the distance i would have to travel.

Any starting tips for a beginner?
