God damn, everytime i make a thread it does that shit.........

anyways as is said, im seriously considering going back to snowboarding (or doing both) and i know the industry has changed alot. tons of new companies since i last did it, so im looking for some advice with gear.

im looking to do alot of park riding but something that can hold its own on the rest of the mountain aswell. some tips for boots and bindings would help too. thanks.

k2 world wide weapon for smooth buttery rail jibby ness and a narly park exsperiance but lacking on the slopes


something like the burton air or K2 darkstar or any other freeride all mountain board for a more even park/all mountain exsperiance

burton park boot is as it says a great park boot for cheap


bindings umm anything but flow bindings burton cartels are popular i have the rome 390s and love them

I have a capita stairmaster and it rides really well in the park, its a little hard on all mountain if its slushy though. Other than that its a great board

well its pretty obvious that anyones going to tell you that their setup is ill-gnar-sicktastic, you can take some suggestions but see what you really think works for you. maybe read some transworld reviews too.

for sure! they kinda go fast, but thats what warranty is for. and i think nitro makes some good all around park boards, theyre kinda stiff if ur gonna be buttering around....... one of my friends has a rome board that is really flexy if thats what ur looking for tho....... and as far as bindings, as much as i hate burton, i like how theyre bindings feel, but theyre not made real well..... ride, k2, and raiden bindings arent bad either, and one of my friends has a pair of union bindings, that have bushings them to allow the board to flex and keep it from breaking at the edge of youre binding..... which would be nice if u want your board to last.
