October 7, 2006 at 2:15 pm #75Hi,  I got a used seasonal rental snowboard and I am a bit unsure if the equipment is good. I want to know if you think that the set up is good for my purpose so I know if I should ask them if they have another type of that part(that would be better of course).  You know what I mean. I plan to use the snowboard for freeride, just going down the mountain the regular way and the most important part, I want to go to the terrain park this year. I have some pics of the board which are here http://community.webshots.com/album/554622601obalqc . The boots are Nitro, the Deck has a G in the middle, and the bindings are sims. The board and bindings together weigh ten pounds. When put on flat and a slight bit of pressure is applied the middle of the bottom of the board touches the ground.ÂHi,  I got a used seasonal rental snowboard and I am a bit unsure if the equipment is good. I want to know if you think that the set up is good for my purpose so I know if I should ask them if they have another type of that part(that would be better of course).  You know what I mean. I plan to use the snowboard for freeride, just going down the mountain the regular way and the most important part, I want to go to the terrain park this year.

Nice pictures. The board looks pretty nice. The bindings appear to be a bit weak, but if you have a really supportive boot you can make up for that. If your boots are floppy, you might have a tough time out there as far as getting enough support down there.The white shaves mean that they ground the base (good) but didnt wax over it (bad). Definately take the board to get hot waxed before using it or else you will get snow sticking to the bottom there.

Thanks. And thats great:). And thanks. I was going to ask them for a lighter one but you say that that it is good, so I guess I will stick with it. (like they'd have a lighter one anyway. lol.)
