salomon substance and sp3 bindings.




K2 boots, Bonfire coat and pants




howd i do?

 

ooooo very nice. never was to into solomon for snowboards, but never ever heard anything bad about them either, mostly because im a die hard burton fan. i dont know if i could ever part with the company. bonfire kicks *** though for outerwear. thats what i had for years. now im rocking DC boots and coat, burton gloves and burton canyon board and burton mission bindings for pants i have four square. i need to get some layering though and i want snowboard boxers. they got badding around the hip and tail bone so when you slam on a rail or ice, your a little safer. lol. no that im big on saftey but nothing ruins a day of boarding more than sliding out on a rail and destroying your tail bone. i actually spent an entire day re-adjusting my board for a more park style setting this past week. duck footed the bindings stance and centered them and added some lean. and i got new boots in early 07 that i never posted up. soooo.... here is my setup! lol

btw what goggles are you rockin? spy is the only way to go!










now im all pumped for the snowboarding season. when is your trip you guys plan. it better be jan 7th the end of your break. so help me!!! thats when we are going, to cascade in wis dells. we stay at the riviera suites. ugly on teh outside, but last year we were the only ones in the building with the pool, so we just destroyed teh place and swam all night while getting crunk. damn we were noisy. now all we need is women that are willing to spend money to ski/board for a few nights.

 

lol

i got smith goggles. i need to get a new hat and gloves.

were leaving the 15 to go to michigan for a couple days. i dont know where ill go after that tho. paoli peaks and perfect north most likely cuz theyre close. i go back to school on the 7th

 

and i need a super wax and clean for my board

i am also duck footed. and im confused about which way i like to go down the slope, but this board is biased in which way i put the bindings on, so it looks like regular most of the time. im a goofy skater.

 

hahah, ic, im not that great at fakie yet, i can do it, but i just cant carve fakie very well. figure out which way your best at because your supposed to have a few more degrees added onto your leading foot. and i myself am going to get a professional wax and edge sharpening. i do it myself all the time, but since im actually making it to colorado this spring break, im going to get it done right.

ahhh, whats with everyone and those shoes/loufers lately... i just dont get them!!! you gonna make it to the chicago auto show at least this year? and i met some girl from perdue this weekend... i was like, hey, i sorta know a guy that goes to school there. and ive flown down there before.

 

theyre house shoes, and they keep my feet warm in the winter.

and im goin to the detroit auto show this year. cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I like to freeride the powder more than anything else. I have a Morrow Dimention 162, with Lamar bindings. My wife and son both have Lamar boards, daughter has a Vision board, and we just bought my sons gf a new Morrow with Morrow bindings and Division boots for Xmas.

 

we got our first snow today. maybe if im lucky, ill be able to be pulled behind the truck tomorrow

 

lol ^^^ i want to do that, but replace truck with snow mobile. also, we got our second snow today, our first was sunday but it turned to freezing rain then normal rain. the roads and side walks were a 1/8 inch thick sheet of ice it was insane. but now we got a good 4 inches at least from this snow today and its supposed to continue tommorow and then again thursday night.

 

here is my set of snowboards, first i got a 158 blunt w/ mission bindings and then a 155 (i think, dont wanna run outside and check haha) shawn white and then my current board is a 156 T6 w/ cartels.. and then my sister has the liberty.. and then my boots, jackets and all that are all burton also

 

damnit!!! ^^^^ send me one of those boards, lol, thats a sick burton collection. im jealous, ive been trying to get teh money for a more park friendly board like a burton custom or something.... just something light and more flexible.

p/s arent missions pretty B/A for a binding. cartels are really nice to.

 

i was riding on my friends custom X and that board is sickkkk... or my other friend has a ride.. forgot witch one he had but it was nice felt smooth and easy to control, not that stiff



i like the cartels alot better, and i love the toe straps

 

nice boards chinesekid

 

Took some pics of our boards today sorry about some of them being blurry (cell phone pics).
First is my Morrow (white) and the wifes Vision

Left to right, my son's Lamar, his gf's new Morrow (she's getting it as a suprise for Xmas), and my daughters Vision

close ups of the Lamar and new Morrow

 

vision was my first board, i still have it actually, im holding onto it since its the perfect size for a girl. just gotta get the boots thing taken care of, it was a very forgiving board, great to learn on.

 

the first trip is comin up this weekend

were goin to shush mountain @ shanty creek, mi and boyne mountain in mi.

HELL YEA cant wait. i still gotta get my board waxed
