off topic, who snowboards?

Well I been snowboarding for 8 years. Been to Utah three times. Loved it I wish I can go back. But I have not boarded for four years now. My set up is pretty much all Burton. I know I still have my 158 Hooger. My new board is a Burton ... Dragon series. I have the Stomp in bindings with boots. Pretty much all I am saying is I can not remember what kinda board I have. hahaha I started on a Burton 4.1 back in 1995 and boarded regular. I am hoping next year I can go out again. If I get a chance I'll dig out my board and snap a shot. But I ant putting my bindings on it until I know for sure I am going out!

This year will be my 7th year 'boarding. I've got a '02 Burton Balance 157 or somewhere around there, with Burton Freestyle binding (not to bad). Im planning on getting more of a freestyle board. Im thinking about the Gnu Street Series for now. Been doing the boardpark here and there, but most people I go with are too scared of even going through the park, so I've been held back everytime I go. I think I suck for a 7th year rider. This year I'll be teaching a bunch of people and hopefully they pick up the sport. It's way fun. I'll going to Spirit Mt this Friday afternoon then to Afton on the 29th and more during the winter as I get more people to go with me.

^I totally agree. I'd love to get better in the park but most ppl I go with are kinda nervous and I don't want to split up and board alone. I do alot of backcountry though and you can find some pretty rad stuff to fly off of and jib in the woods. Big mountain in one week baby!

Are there any places or suggestions for practicing before going to an actual hill?

Buck Hill, about as small and simple as it gets, and I wouldn't consider it an actual hill. I tried learning on some local small hills and walking back up each time when I was little, but they're so small you don't even get a chance to turn.

Hyland is closer to you than buck, and its tiny but good to learn on.

[HiImBrian]

hyland is so packed its not even fun

[AJ]

Yeah, going to a packed house isn't ideal but more so I'd rather go my first time with some others who are also learning.

^I'ma teach my friend to board in a couple weeks. I'll probably take her to buck hill.
