Any Snowboarders Out There

[malibu hamish]

I know most of the skate community frowns upon snowboarding, but fuck even Cardiel was pro in snowboarding. Just wondering if any of you guys snowboard, if so where? whats your set-up? ect...

I love it.  I've only been twice in the past couple years, using rental gear..  But it's almost like rediscovering skateboarding for me.  Just trying to bomb the hill without slowing down or wiping out too much.  If I can get my money right before I'm old I plan to do lots more of it.  I enjoy watching those crazy fuckers like the x games real snow contestants.. but I doubt I'll personally get into crazy tricks and obstacles, aside from catching a bit of air.

I've been snowboarding as long as I've been skating. 13 years. in calgary, canada come winter you better be snowboarding or you'll just be bitching about how cold and snowy it is. too few indoor spots to skate. when i started skating it wasn't a bad thing to snowboard. i was alway better at snowboarding than skating until the last few years. if need be i can post some snowboard videos of my self and friends.

i was riding some ride product last year, the shop i work at helps hook up full time employees. i had the ride arcade 154, with ride rodeo bindings, and 32 tm2 boots.

some how I've broken 7+ snowboards, only broken 3 or 4 skateboards (with out focusing them).
usually ride 40-60 days a season, including jibbing and the local hill in the city. most I've done in a season was 94 days.

snowboarding can be fun. snowboarders are the fucking worst though.

[Donkey Lips]

but fuck even Cardiel

I got back to the mountain this year for the first few times in almost a decade. It was fun, but dearest busey is right. I couldn't say "bro"  enough times in a sentence to fit in with the in-crowd. It was still fun to crash into things though.

Having lived at the foot of the Rocky Mountains for over a decade and deflected pressure to try snowboarding because of the whole "fuck that, I skate and snowboarders are a bunch of fucking rich, trust funder, douche bag kooks" attitude I finally broke down this season and tried it out.  I am glad I did.  The first day blew ass because the initial fundamentals are a lot different.  Don't get discouraged though because once you get that down the balance and flow from skating clicks and you'll have a good time.

My advice to anybody holding out on snowboarding is to just try it out.  With a ton of outdoor concrete but no indoor parks where I live, if it's dumping snow then my options are limited anyways so it's not like there is a big trade off.

Sorry. The thought of being stuck to the fucking thing gives me panic.

Falling off the chairlift.

Snowboarders are jocks and bro's.

Ive been snowboarding for 8-10 years, shits way fun. Southeast michigan where I grew up is awful, but I was in the UP for school the last 4 years and there was a lot more snow but the hills werent much bigger.

Yuuuuup. Ive gotten the summit pass the last 2 seasons, been 5 times for a total of maybe 30 days at Key/Breck/A-Basin. I love keystone but yeah snowboarders on average are the worst. But some are rad, there was this freakishly tall dude with dreads who was way good, best dude to watch on the lift ride up. handplants and nollies n shit.

I'm no good but its nice to be able to do a hell of a lot more than I can on a skateboard. I might never learn nollie backtails on a skateboard, or even backtails, but i can do some shitty ones snowboarding and its super fun. I also know a lot more snowboarders, especially in UP where there's so few skaters and fewer spots. Going to the local hill on a sunny day is a fucking party, training each other through the park 20 deep, shotgunning beers between runs.

I ride a rome artifact rocker 144, union contacts and thirty two grenier boots. Stance all the way in and super detuned edges so it feels a lot more like skating. Terrible for jumps and ice but real fun for park, powder, and hunting for natural tranny.
