SOME boards do require tuning first. To be able to tell takes a skilled eye most of the time. I can say that my Burton board cane tunes and ready to ride, but I could not safely assume that they all do. You may want to have a local (or mountain) shop tech take a gander and suggest.If you have any other questions we are always eager to share what we know.
I hope you have a good winter in IA. I don't ride Burton boots and bindings (but I have a Custom board) but I hear the Cartel bindings and Custom boots and bindings are great.
I keep getting an error message stating “you are not allowed to view the gallery” ….not sure if I'm the only one getting this message or not, or if I'm doing something wrong. Probably the latter, lol…
It was a permissions issue. Got it fixed. Try again now 😆
The cheaper jacket (Poacher) is still a decent coat. Burton uses great materials for their outerwear. It is a mid-level garment so I don't think it would necessarily prevent you from breathing properly unless you were doing serious mountaineering or something like that.
Good question. Without getting too technical, both garments are “waterproof/breathable” and for casual usage would not appear to be too different; however under more intense conditions (internally via sweat or externally via snow/rain) you would most likely notice a difference.
Waterproof/breathable fabrics resist droplets or water from passing (outside-in) while allowing water vapor through (inside-out). Typical mid-range fabrics tend to have values of 5,000g of breathability and 5,000mm of water resistance. From this we can determine that the first fabric you mention (breathable rating:20,000g, waterproof rating: 20,000mm) is a very aggressive claim of very high waterproofing and breathability combined and I would assume it is hig1 mo thang… Member Profiles are now viewable to the public. I believe this will help the community grow as guests can get better idea of what this place is all about. As always, comments are welcome about this.Also activated calendar.
Hi all. You may have noticed that the Community Section (forums) have been acting a little funny the past few days.

Doesn't look too bad to me. I wouldn't forsee any problem unless you were in slush or really soggy soft-pack. Of course it is going to ultimately depend on style of riding and personal preference, but unless you are a really heavy railer, you should be cool.
I never heard of a Forum Record. Do you mean a Forum Recon? The Ride boots seem really sweet. I think you will like the Boa Coil. And the Flow M9's are awesome, they have the ratchet on the side or on-the-fly dialing 8)

You can find a list of online snowboard shops here.At DogFunk.com, check the lower left for the “clearance bin”.At Summit Online, all snowboarding gear is on sale right now (40%-60 percent). I think I saw a Flow Merc board in there for like $170, that's insanely cheap!AltRec has a clearance section with Burton and Ride boards under $250.There are just so many steal-delas out there right now. Take a look 🙂
