Been riding a lot this season 24days out already, park board is my Whammy bar 55 and anywhere else I pull out the Flying V Custom 56, love both of these whips. The Whammy bar is so damn playful it makes the Skate Banana feel stiff, yet still holds speed fairly well.

rome I was wondering when you would chime in on this thread

Do you remember the snowboard clothing thread and if it still exists?

Anywayz .. 2012 gear catalogues, love browsing

Holden ..

etc etc

[rome1]

hell yea it's somewhere... I gave up on it though sufu doesn't have that many snowboarders on it. check out one of my blogs about next years shit. WORKWEAR is coming in a big way. Redwing x Burton boot is just nuts. http://teamrad.tumblr.com

[rome1]

A lot of natural colors coming on deck next season. the whole neon radiation color way that's been plaguing snowboarding is finally ending. Analog's shit looks amazing.

Special Blend is doing things right too...

[alimenator]

ordered some union DLX's, can't wait to hit the mt. once they arrive

[esswhykay]

Smartwool vs Ibex vs Icebreaker

What's the call on best baselayer?

[aleopold]

i don't think i like those burtonxredwing boots....

review on the dlx after you use 'em alimenator? i was thinking i'd get the force sl, but they're ~$300.. dunno though.

[alimenator]

yeah, i'll let you know aleopold

I also found some ride orion boots for $65 on the sports chalet website in case anyone cares...

[rome1]

Those Redwing boots are actually way lighter than they look and from what I've heard they ride just like the Hail. One of my favorite boots of all time even though I don't prefer it anymore because there are way lighter options out there nowadays.

They also did a collab with Sorel which blows my mind because it's like going back in time instead of forward.

[Guest]

I love those redwing boots but after riding Hails for years I'm really sick of doing up laces, my hands are still cold from taking them off earlier.

Sorel boots LOL..

Updated my post up there with some embedded images, Holden's new stuff is pretty great, updated classics like field jacket and m 65 rock. Really feeling the kimono jacket .. swiss shoeller ftc, japanese made kimono print and recycled coffee ground lining, KILLS IT .. for me anyway, cant' afford though.

I haven't tied boots in 3 years. once Burton came out with the Ozone (now retired) it was over, their quick pull system knocks the shit outta Boa and is super fast. I'm currently riding the Imperail boot which is a touch stiffer than the Ozone and I really dig it. The only thing I kinda miss is the articulated cuff but it's not a deal breaker. Honestly you can't get the kind of control with traditional laces than you can with a quick pull system I leave the bottom loose and cinch up the top, I'd like to see regular laces do that and not untie after one run.

That holden Varsity Jacket is dope, but that's old news in snowboard fashion. Still the red one is growing on me...

Smartwool vs Ibex vs Icebreaker

What's the call on best baselayer?

Anything but smartwool based on my experience with their socks .. thats really all the help I have to offer but I don't like leaving questions unanswered.

[aleopold]

what about nikepro stuff? i wear the cold gear whenever i go up. then i either add a tee if it's warm, a thin nike or columbia sweater if it's cold, but not unbearable, and come to think of it, i don't really have a good super fucking cold layer...

[rome1]

that's what puffys are for...

[Guest]

Finally snapped my Stairmaster this morning, just doing a little side hit but there must've been a degradation of structural integrity leading up to the final break ... rode some more for a bit until I lost a screw out of my bindings and my heelstrap fell off, ride down was fun.

[aleopold]

yeah, i suppose if it were that cold consistently here i'd get something with down. hood is pretty mild though

nothing comes close to traditional lacing.

[Ryan]

i had a pair of rulers for a couple years and just last year moved to some hails. the hails just held the laces better *shrugs

[ashkaun]

just got some new bindings yesterday

Riding a morrow board I got off a friend in the dorms for $30, Burton H.O.D.'s and K2 Hurrithanes.

All that's left is for me to get a new board.
