Not as useful as it appears, once you figure out that most of the
reviews are posted by the people who have only owned that particular
snowboard. So you kind of have to ignore the positives.

At least boardreviews.com doesn't suppress the negatives, unlike most
snowboarding magazines. Getting straight critical dope is the biggest
advantage of rider reviews.

http://snowboard.colonies.com -- Extremely rich snowboarding
"community" site.

There's a number of other forums just as good or better.

"Just as good" doesn't really matter, since the FAQ needs only one such
link (or none at all, depending on what Dave thinks). As to "better,"
e.g.?

There's a thread for every snowboarding topic you
can think of.

Nothing for alpine or racing, not even sbx.

There do not appear to be specific subforums dedicated to these topics,
but if you search for information on them, you'll find some. E.g.:
http://snowboard.colonies.com/forums/topic/8938/

Besides, the FAQ already includes the link to www.alpinecarving.com.
Seems to me that this topic, at least, is covered.
