I have just ordered a 23-24 K2 passport 154 and looking for bindings and colour recommendations to pair it with the board! I will be riding it as all mountain freeride and no park stuff. Show size 26.5cm. Union force black in medium size is unavailable 😔😔 Thank you in advance for your time!
I have an arbor coda camber directional split board and a capita doa true twin. I am looking into changing my binding angles. I have always ridden +15 -12 on my doa. I recently changed to +15 -9 since I do minimal switch riding but still want that option on my doa. I want my split board bindings to be angled for steep/ big lines in the backcountry and control at high speeds (would also be nice to be able to hit jumps and land switch in the backcountry). Does a ++ setup make sense for this, if so, what angles? Also does it make sense to have two boards set so differently?
Bought a 686 Keith Haring Insulated Foundation, but selected the wrong size. Hoping to trade someone for a new medium. If you're looking to buy a large, I can get you a 50% discount to get a medium and we can trade if you're in the front range Colorado area. Hit me up if interested.
Saturdays the day for Keystone!
Just got my Deep thinker in to add to the quiver!
Yes dicey 154: Rock/Indoor board(big snow in NJ)
Ride shadowban 157: Daily driver
Yes Standard Uninc 156: aggressive sessions(it’s wide so I don’t like to ride it for more than 3-4 hrs before I switch out due to fatigue)
Burton Deep thinker 157: pow and possibly daily driver just unwrapped it brand new! Can’t wait to ride it!
Bindings: 2 Bataleon Astro asym and 1 Astro fullwrap
Boots: Ride Fuse and Bataleon Acid Boa
Hey yall, I am a complete beginner looking to purchase some snowboarding gear. On the size charts I am all over the place so I am looking to you guys for some help 🙌🏽 What size snowboard should I buy if i am 6'5 165 lbs?
Axamer Lizum, little pow off the side, get ready for December!
Edit: my current board turned out to be 2008 not 2015. Jesus I'm old.
So... to upgrade or not?
I am no longer an annual rider. Haven't been to the snow since moving back to Australia from Japan.
About 5 years back was my last trip, used to go twice a year but my circumstances have changed and I could never justify boarding in Australia for various reasons but looking to do once a year again.
I still own my Burton X8V from 2015 which was the first proper board I purchased. Really enjoyed the balanced ride and whilst it's aesthetically beaten up, I feel like there's plenty of life left in it.
How far has board tech really come along in the past 8 years? Are the the improvements so significant that an intermediate rider can tell any true difference?
I hated my boots and bindings from being too soft, laces +ratchet loosening so those were priority and just replaced. However, I'm seeing great deals atm for end of season boards and people selling brand new wrong sized purchases for 50% rrp.
Should I snatch a deal?
Any comments appreciated.
Cheers
Found a photo of a brand new setup I purchased in 2020 cause I was doing well and wanted to reward myself! Good ol 2020 Bataleon Disaster and the Union Contact Pros (RIP)
I've been up over 100 days over the past 2 seasons. I ride all the Black runs; Snowbird, Mammoth, Big Bear. But I avoid jumps. When I ride through the park area, I just roll over everything. Started boarding in my 40's, injuries don't recover like before.
P.S. I've stopped Mtn Biking, stopped playing Basketball... I'm saving up all of my future injuries for Snowboarding. LOL
Hey everyone, I'd love to hear your thoughts on these two boots regarding comfort and durability. I mainly ride freeride and consider myself an intermediate rider. I'm also looking at the Lashed BOA boots—what do you think of those? Additionally, I'd appreciate your insights on the BOA system versus traditional laces. I've always used laces, but I'm considering upgrading to dual BOAs. I've heard mixed reviews about them coming loose. Thanks!
Lee Canyon, about an hour drive from Las Vegas is opening Rabbit Peak (bunny hill) this Sat! Going to get some easy laps in just because.
I’ve been riding a Jones split 145 and I love it but I’m looking for an all mountain board this winter for resort days. I don’t have a ton of money so I’m looking at marketplace which is making it confusing. I’m kind of thinking like I want Toyota Tacoma snowboards. Like good quality, holds its value, does it need to be fancy but could be cute. I’m getting all kinds of different feedback on sizing for an all Mountain intermediate writer 53 110. Can anyone help or send me to a resource that they recommend?
I am looking at the following boards. For context I am 5'11" and ~140lbs. I am in the park 95% of the times hitting small jumps and rails (thats the only fun way to snowboard on small hills around me).
Rome Artifact / Rome Artifact Pro
K2 World Peace

I currently own a 2016 K2 WWW. Are any of these boards worth the upgrade? If you have any other reccomendations let me know!
Can anybody ID this song in his old video?
I'm trying to remember the name of a snowboarding video released sometime around 2001. The Soundtrack was excellent and I'm trying to track it down. Here are some songs that I remember:
Death on Wednesday- if you want Digger - Feeling what I'm thinking Face to Face - out of focus No motiv - Going Numb
I realize this probably one obscure video from a time where everyone was putting out their own, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
