Wow, that's unfortunate about your son's board! When you go to the mountain, it is a bit of an escape. You are there to just have fun, so you really don't think about things such as security so much. I guess thieves know that and try to take advantage of that kind of situation. For that reason, I think it is best to either lock the board, use board/ski check (if available), or what I do is have someone be a lookout guard. If going in the lodge for an extended period of time, I set my board by the window where I am going to be sitting. Most thieves are NOT going to target a board that has eyeballs on it. But if it is not your style to play Homeland Security with your gear, a board lock is a good option.
I went to their website to check it out. That Hero Helmet Camera looks awesome! I didn't know that quality of footage was possible with a helmet cam. Anyone have experience using this or something like it?Merry Christmas !!!
Welcome Estylo! Well, looks like you are wanting to save some cash. Yes, there are some brands of snowboards available that are lower price-point and 24/7 is one of those brands. I have never personally ridden one of their boards and would like to hear from someone who has and get their take on them. From what I know of “lower price point” kinds of boards, you are still going to get a good deck but it may be a little heavier and the materials may be the cheaper kind (i.e. extruded base instead of sintered) but you WILL still have FUN with them — especially if you are a beginner and you get the right size board for you. And since the board is your own and dialed in to your specs, it will be much better than a rental board.As for outerwear, you really do not need to be a pro to invest in good quality goods like Burton (or 686 or DC). Although, if yAnyone watching this at Copper Mountain? It comes on TV this weekend (NBC and Versus).
Wow, now that's a tough choice. These are new models I have not ridden yet, but they both look solid and lightweight. I am a Flow guy since their inception and the Cinch looks remarkably like Flows, so I can testify to the convenience of the design. I vote for the K2 Cinch.
Not a bad review here of the Burton TWC Standard. It is presented well there in the shop from Chip or Craig or whoever, but I really would like to see it ridden on the mountain as well. 3 of 5 stars from me.
ive been hittin the summer setup with soome friends. and trampin to get some trick sdown for this season.
That looks cool. What kind of tricks can you do?
… oh, plus the giant dollar signnecklass ahha.
I dont think we have ever gotten to see this piece of royal bling blingage!
I agree, this one is more like a “show and tell” than a real review. Also, I put up a “RATING” option on this review so you can rate it as you feel fit. If you want me to do that on any others let me know (PM me).PeaceFR
And for those of you who are “Facebookers” (OMG, who isn't, LOL) FrostyRider.com is now represented on Facebook too HERE.
Cool I will do my best to get some footage and / or pics for this winter. We just got 2 feet here yesterday!Let me know when you are thinking of coming out here so we can plan some stuff out.HAPPY THANKSGIVING
Welcome to Frosty Rider! Well, it seems that you have the right idea about controlling the snowboard speed and direction. Progressing to the “S-Turn” is absolutely the way to go! However, to do that you need to equally as comfortable balancing on both heelside and toeside.You personally are better and more experienced on heel side. Don’t think you are weird or anything, it happens to everyone — not just when starting out, but perpetually as well.
So let me offer some tips for you to get more comfortable and balanced on toeside. First and foremost, practice. A good way to practice toeside more when on the mountain is to start from kneeling position and start riding from there. Traverse and side-slip just like you do on heel-side. Now, to get good at toe-side, you need to good, strong, and balanced riding position. Here is how… (
I think this is the season for movie making. Are you still up 4 it? (I can supply some footage, but I'm not an editor at all).
Nice boat! I got to go sailing once before and it was incredible! I am very happy for you guys.Havent been riding yet this year. The mountain was completely bare a week ago and there is only a little over a foot on there now. It will take some time or a big storm to get us ready.In the meantime I will be prepping my snowmobiles!
