Hey,


Just a quick comment: I thought this talk of being really sick and tired
of people asking "what kind ofboardshould I get?" reeks of elitism and
"holier than thou-ness."


Sorry guys, this was probably an uncalled for rant. Especially just
stepping back in here after so long. *I* probably won't even be in here
that much this winter, although you never know, depends on work level,
etc.


But, I do enjoy helping people out, getting started, advancing their
skills, etc., as I'm sure you do too.


As for my snowboard company, who knows? I'd love to make it happen and
will slowly work toward it with my connections...but I gotta make a buck
in the meantime. Maybe after I really "retire" from my current line of
work (freelance).


That said, Pray ForSnow! (Didn't someone -- Bob F? -- say the Cascades
are getting some? Points North in New England might be getting some from
the upcoming forecast "nor-easter" type storm).

Burton boards are the way to go...also UNity snowboards out of
Silverthorne Colorado havea solid set up...they were named good-wood
of the year in 2005..other than that, have fun in the pow-pow


Thanks for the info! Yes, Burton is good. I have a lot of ...uh...
"experience" with them, you might say:

Rome also good, but you could make a list ten pages long listing all the
good boards, so I won't even try. Now I ride Santa Cruz. Have ridden
Burton, K2, Morrow, Original Sin, Nitro, others. I don't promote one
over the other...just try as many as you can and go rip on the one you
like best!

Haven't tried Unity....will check em out.

Do you want to learn how to snowboard really really well? GREAT!
You've probably heard about this site and are ready to push your
riding to the next level. I'm sure you've seen a lot of trick tips and
articles out there that do very little to help your riding. As you
continue to read on you are about to learn a totally revolutionary
"learn to snowboard system."

We are Matt Belair and Neville Lapwood, two of Canada's top
professional freestyle coaches. Our chosen location is Whistler,
British Columbia Cananda, the snowboard mecca of the world and home to
some of the best pro's, coaches and parks on earth!
