by my count, that's F O U R boards, w/ the oldest one being barely 2 seasons old. you is a straight baller when it comes to boardin' gear, yo! do you wk for burton or something? is your full name jake burton carpenter?

btw, didya know we're supposed to end up w/ 4-6 feet of snow by new year's day? yes! i said S I X _ F E E T...that's insane! starting w/ this past monday's storm and according to the nat'l weather svc forecast, we should have at least 10+ consecutive days of snow up in our beloved "playgrounds."

santa delivered a li'l late, but he came thru big time! let it snow!

I echo these comments EXACTLY. I have ginormous calves..my freaking shrunk up calf from my surgery is bigger than damn near every calf on everyone I know. Including one of my buddies that weights over 350 pounds. he's like 6'6".

I've tried so many different boots. Shoot I have a BRAND new pair of forums that are a couple season's old in my closet. Paid $370 for them. No go. Been sitting ever since. I ride pretty much exclusively burton boots. I have for years and after the forum deal..will for the future far as I can see. I ride Ion MD's.

I bought a pair of Van's boots with the boa system this year. Used them one day and now they sit in the closet. I went back to my Solomons. The van's felt like absolute ****. Either they are too stiff or something but they killed me and I had no feedback at all with them.
