Frosty & Travz – Thanks for the feedback! I'm taking heavy consideration into what you guys have been telling me. So I've been talking with many people about the board selections and someone mentioned to me that the Legion is heavily used in parks then just mountain. Now I've always wanted my share of air but I've had a few too many bad falls and I'm a bit more prone to lean towards the mountain right now 🙂 With Travz's recommendations I may have to follow up on his suggestion with going for a Forum Recon and purchase one during the off season (thanks for that awesome tip.. when do the off season sales start? and does it apply to online retailers as well?).As for the boots, My cousin has told me that he's had bad experiences with the boots, “my first boots were just like those…. (boas by thirtytwo) and they sucked.

(boas by thirtytwo) and they sucked. Unless you get a dual boa system, the foot area (as opposed to the ankle) is never tight enough.” Anyone else seem to have that effect from those boots? And I was looking for the dual boa system that he was talking about but I couldn't find anything on it.. anyone have any ideas what he may have been suggesting?I'm still highly considering these boots because of the recommendations from the two of you… but I just want to see how this kink plays out before I make any final decision.Bindings… I think from everyone that I've spoken / wrote to, It's been pretty unanimous that Flow is their favorite choice for bindings. I really like the 'slip in' system that have that the Flow Flite 2 has… anyone have any comments on those? Also Travz – I tried googling for the Ride Lx Bindings that you have but I couldn't find anything. Is it under a different name? Last but not least – Do the of season prices affect boots and bindings too? If so I'll just wait until then to buy my gear :BThanks again to the two of you for replying! This is helping me VASTLY! -b
