I’ve been riding for about 10 years now on the same setup, that i bought used in 98. I don’t want junk, something that was decent last year is good. I am a good rider, but i just don’t go enough to justify buying new.
I have a size 9 foot. I am 5’-7". I am not sure what length board i should rock, but i prefer short because i really like woods riding. I am willing to get boots separately, but i don’t feel like piecing together the rest of the setup.
I have ridden shitty ass step in bindings (switch 360s) my entire snowboarding career. IDK, if they improved the tech at all, but i was always a fan of the step-ins.
if you cant find anything and decide to piece a set up together , i have some drake matrix bindings for 75$ used maybe 4-5 times, im a size 9.5, so you’d be fine with them
Hey man I didn’t know you were into snowboarding… We go to the valley a lot. You should def come out sometime. Lemme see if I can find anything for ya.
as far as a board, if you can spend ~$400 i’d hiughly recommend a lib tech magne traction. it has 7 points of contact per side, shiet actually puts down an edge in snow, which is great for around here. I’m sure others will chime in on how much they like magne traction. I’ve been riding it for 3 years, wouldn’t buy anything without it.
as far as bindings go, just make sure its something that fits you. drake matrix are ok. burton customs are only 139 new and have everything you need; toecap strap, adjustable gas pedal, etc.
Magne Traction is all you newman. But you definitely want to go with the customs. 139 for a toe cap binding. Can’t beat it… Unless you can find the Flux equivalent for 139.
i got those boots for sale, don’t need to track them down. as far as magne traction boards go, prob not. they’ve only been around a couple years so not a lot of people are selling used ones
it’s brand new. i can’t imagine it needs a to be waxed or sharpened… i haven’t waxed my old board since i got it in 98, so i am sure it’s WAYYY faster than that.
