I just got that letter in the mail the other day I needa get on that before it gets more expensive but Ive got some mean cracks on my board, bindings are tore up, boots are falling apart haha. anybody ride the parks at Sierra?

 

^

um yah lol, me, brendon and his girl, and a lot of guys on iclub! get that pass before the price goes up and lets start shreading!!

 

Me and 3 buddies have the double whammy again this year. all of us have subies so we will be going up every weekend hopefully. we are outta sactown... we'll have seats in our cars available for someone who wants to throw down on gas.

 

awsome, me and 2 of my buddies have subies and were up there at least 3 times a week.i cant wait for this season, supposedly gunna be really good. my friend is on the sierra park crew and supposedly they have an entirely new crew so the parks should be top notch all season thank god, the alley got neglected last season haha

 

Man if sierra sells out all our cheap deals will go out the window. This really sucks.

 

I should really look into one of the double whammy passes. Plan on going up a lot more, so itd make sense.

Cant wait to try out my new setups, although might look into some more park inspired bindings. Love my Ride NrC's but they might be a little on the heavy side.

If anyone is looking to buy some gear, I have a couple boards, bindings and a couple jackets Im looking to get rid of.

 

ill be going for the first time. i really want to get into it, so im just going to buy some cheap equipment.

i know all the "vets" will hate on certain brands, but realistically.. for beginners like myself, we wont even notice the difference at this stage right?

on that note, i purchased a used Atomic board. actually heard they were a reputable brand from browsing the snowboarding forums. 164 cm, im 5'10 and FAT with big ol feet. the board is actually a known wide board. good for me?

 

164 is really big but try it out everyone likes em different. The ride SPI's or Deltas are nice and flexible bindings if you're looking for park stuff. I ride a forum manual 153 right now, but i think i wanna go smaller and stiffer thats what she said. maybe a 151 forum destroyer. anyone got any recommendations?

 

All depends on what you wanna do and what you really do. Short boards are good for small park stuff and jibbing around. A medium board with some stiffness is good for big jumps. If you ride really hard and do big jumps something soft may break too quick and a soft board will get you better jibbing and more buttery feel but less control at high speeds and big jump landings.

 

I'm 510 and not small. I ride super stiff boards. 163 and 166. I wouldn't recommend a stiff board for a noob. 164 will be good for pow. If your under 220 lbs its too big for a daily. 158 to 162 is a solid range.

 

thanks looks like we're about the same. although im a noob so your recommending stiff not good for noob scares me.. this is the description on the board..

Atomic Exeter Snowboard is a wide board that doesn't ride like a coffee table! The D4 Sandwich Construction, 1 degree base bevel and Twin Prog sidecut provide maximum response and control for riders with larger than average feet on groomers, pow or in the park. sku 26581

* Features: Length 164cm
* Waist 26.8cm
* Wood Core

 

Do they sell out of double whammy passes? man that would suck...

 

That's not to stiff of a board. You'll be fine. It'll be solid in pow and the groomers. 160 would probably be better.

 

How big are your feet? You could get risers, palmer and Burton both make them. I have 14 and ride a midwide board with risers without a problem.

 

They're referring to Sierra Snowboards not Sierra the resort Would suck if either sold though Hope Sierra Snowboards can get their act together
