I am shopping for snow boards and I haven’t the 1st clue what is cool isn’t in the land of the boarder. What are some kinds of snow boards I should be looking for? Mind you, my #1 priority is picking up young chix and looking cool, not boarding well. :tup: ---

My approach is; buy a 10-pak, buy a board and some gear, look for the biggest hill and go for it!! ---

Take your pick: Burton - The ladies will dig you cuz you have a board from the “OG” snowboard company Cost:$$$$ Ride - THe ladies will dig you cuz you arent a conformist and realize that Burton isnt GOD, but you still fronted the cash for an awesome board Cost:$$$ M3 - The ladies will dig you cuz you have a board from a company that spends their money where it counts - on the important things like making great boards and not just advertizing the hell out of their name. Cost:$$ but yeah, you gotta have at least some skill, you wont be really succesful picking up the bunnies if you cant keep up with them ---

> [@boardjnky4](#): > > kissing bridge or holiday valley, just go on the easy trails Yeah i did ski club my senior year, got a nice board and shit for the season (rented it)…i use to board when i was a kid so i figured hey how hard could it be right…wrong. I went down the trail next to the kiddie hill at kissing bridge…only thing i could still do is stop, evidently 12 years of growing fucks up your ability to shift your weight the way u remember it lol. needless to say i fell, or should i say tumbled down 3/4 of it. ---

yeah i rock a burton hat and pants, sick comfort, i want a butron jacket to go along, hehe. I ride a k2 nemesis although i wouldnt recommend buying k2 anymore since theyre ownership is now changed. my board was over 400 dollars and worth every penny, i also have a nice set of ride bindings and salamon boots. i am about 6 ft tall and ride a 162cm board to give u a general idea of where u might stand with size. As with all sports, equipment DOES matter so dont cheap out, and dont buy shit assuming u will, “grow into it”. i did that and ended up buyin new boots a yr later, sad part is i tried on every boot in the store the second time and ended up getting the same pair just a size smaller. i was pissed about that but my riding and comfort level improved 150% after that. Good Luck finding something u like, i always love shopping for expensive stuff, i love to blow cash ---
