I am 30 and been thinking for years about trying out snowboarding. Was thinking that this year is the year , but not sure how hard it is to snowboard. I 'm 6'3 with big feet ! LOL. know it is all about balance, but thinking is it worth the money and time to try it ? I skied once many , many , many years too once lesson and that was it , my ex at the time did not let us stay to go on the slopes , so never really tired that part . I was pretty decent on the ski's we'll for the hour we were one them. So snowboarding worth the money and time ?

I'm getting a Nitro Team 157 in a couple days. These are my options:

-Nitro Raiden Blackhawk
-Nitro Raiden Zero
-Forum Recon
-Ride EX
-Rossingnol Hc1000
-Flux Emblem
-Flow Flite 1

I truly can't decide. Thoughts, anyone? Would be greatly appreciated.

Just got new board, threw my bindings on old board without much thought, but i've tightened things too much and broke them before, is this something to worry about with a snowboard?

I go snowboarding an average of 10 times a year. I have a crappy snowboard thats works for me and bindings that just broke (they were all plastic). I want new bindings, but I don't want to spend a fortune. However, I don't want junk that will break the 3rd time I use it (I don't do the terrain park thing...I just go down the hill.) I've heard bindings are better if they are made out of metal in the heel area...is this true? Anyway, any help in picking out a new pair of bindings would be appreciated....thanks!

I need some help...I want to buy my husband a snowboard for his birthday but I don't know what size to buy and obviously I don't want to ask him and ruin the surprise...He is about 5'7 or 5'8 and weighs about 220lbs. Which size should I buy? I've heard I should probably get him a 158cm. Is that correct?

I need to know what size I would be. I'm 5'3 and 120 lbs. Is a 58 too long? I've been up several times and am pretty comfortable on a board, but am tired of renting. Also, what's a good board for me in either Burton or K2? Or are there others? PLEASE help. Thanks!

I'm somewhat of a beginner on a snowboard, I can heel brake and heel turn fine but I cannot toe brake or toe turn. How do you do it?

im 5'10, 180 lbs, and an intermediate snowboarder. I was thinking about buying a K2 w.w.w. board , mainly because i ride park and rarely ride powder. any suggestions?

I have big feet (12) so I am looking at something wide (is that reasonable? should i be worried about toe and heel drag?) and I'm about 5' 11" but i wasn't sure what length would be 'best'. 160-166? (which is easist for learners/beginers, i lost rode 2 years ago then i grew out of my board, so i need to relearn...)

These are some of the brands i was looking at:
DUB
Lamar
M3
Flow
Silence
Avalanche
Head
LTD
Marrow
Stroke
Which is the best quality? or the best deal? (favorites?)

This is my first board that i am buying so i need to get an idea of what is good and what is 'OK'.

I would appreciate any input that would help give me any idea of what i should be looking for. Is there anything that i should watch out for?

What controles the camber of the board? is it a trivial feature or does it matter if a board had more or less?

Im going to snowboard at this place, and so i signed up on the internet for the rentals, but not the group lesson, because i thought i could figure it out myself, am i wrong, could i learn to snowboard myself with my friends? or is it really hard?

i have a k2 luna, and its a pretty heavy board.. and i've been thinking of getting a new board that is lighter?

Do you tend to put them as close to either rail as possible? Or center them......
Like I used to put them closest to the bottom rail, for more space when turning/carving frontside.

But turns out you have much less balance that way and sticking them close to the front rail you have much more power, balance and control.
Have you guys realised/ experimented wth this?

Here's mine:

For the record, I was young and stupid when this happened.

I was riding with a bunch of my guy friends, and there was this natural jump between two runs. Since I am a small girl, all my guy friends could see over the jump to see if it was clear, but I couldn't. It was a blind jump for me.

My friends all went off of it and were fine. As soon as I went off the jump, I saw there was a girl (in her 20's, not a little kid) standing in the way between me and my landing.

As an automatic response, I put my board out in front of me and completely took her out. I hit her hard, I probably already had gone 10 feet in the air by the time I hit her. I felt so bad! It was a yard sale on her part. Since I only hit her with my board, I was fine. I still feel bad!

Anyway, that's my dumbest story.

Anyone else?

I just bought the new Nitro eero pro model snowboard and was wondering if it comes prewaxed. It probably does, because i think most snowboards do but i just want to make sure. Also, how can you tell? Or, even if it is prewaxed, should i wax it agian?
