How much does a decent/good all/completely wooden snowboard usually cost?

What kind of wood is are they usually made from?

Could you provide a list with the order of what the best wood for snowboards would be?

Are they better than snowboards that are made of fiberglass and other materials?

I have a nice pair of burton cartel bindings which i just broke this past weekend riding. They are like 250$ bindings so i was understandably pissed. I tore it right off the board, the disk shattered and at first I thought the binding was fine since the disk was in pieces but then i realized that the plastic tore where the hole is that the disk goes into, rendering at least that one piece garbage. So my question is, does burton guarantee against this type of damage? if so for how long? do i need a receipt to get any repairs under warranty? Can I order just that one part of the binding and fix it myself? From where? if not, can I buy just one binding somehow or not? What would you do.

thanks

My music is Croation Rhapsody by Maksim (http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=3587654, number 11) . Do you think this dress: http://www.discountskatewear.com/previewimage.asp?image=images/products/C6-03%20Big.jpg&type=image&ImgAlt=, would match the music well? If not what kind of dress would?

We started snowboarding recently, and I picked it up really fast, but she is having some problems with turning. She's scared of the point where you are pointing directly downhill so she just doesnt do it, instead she goes forwrd, then backward, then forward in a kind of big zig zag down the slope. What tips can I give her to do the turn?

I'm looking into buying myself a snowboard. I'm definitely a beginner, a girl, I usually go to a park with artficial snow, and once I'm better, I'd like to spend most of my time in the pipe. I'm thinking about this one: http://www.burton.com/ProductDetail.aspx?pid=29, but I know next to nothing about snowboarding. I'm basically looking for suggestions. Also, I have no idea whether or not I should stick with a rental until I'm better, or just go ahead and get my own.

I always hear that figure ice skaters quit competing Olympics and stuff to go off and compete professionally? Like Michelle Kwan or Alexei Yagudin. I thought Olympics was already professional ice skating? Or did I hear it wrong?

Looking for two answers, both men's and women's curlers... please vote on the team or individual that you think is the best. Also, if you do not enjoy the sport, please keep your comments to yourself as curling is an amazing sport and demands the respect that any other sport gets.

Alright heres the deal, ive been snowboarding a few times (3 days of full riding) and im wanting to get a little more serious with my riding.

Im looking to purchase my first real board setup for myself. Ive read everything i can find about getting a complete online and it seems pretty confusing.

Im about 5'9" 155-160lbs size 11 shoe.

My riding is going to almost exclusively be limited to freestyle jib stuff, you know, sliding boxes and rails, butters, bonks and presses, all that good stuff. I dont plan on doing big airs or bombing down black diamonds anytime soon.

From what ive gathered from all the articles ive read online, it seems like i need a freestyle board with alot of flex, is this true? And, just taking a guess, but should I be riding a board around 153-154? The rentals ive used were all 154's.

I ski on Atomic Beta carve c:9s that are 170cms. I am planning to get an all mountain ski for better float and power thru crud. I mostly ski east coast, and I'm an advanced skier. My hight is 5' 10" 190lbs. Can I safely go to 178? Or should I look on the 168-170 range.
