take your board etc with you , but go slightly earlier than your lesson time .. ask your instructor if he thinks the equipment you have is suitable for you ... if not then use the rental gear ...
as people in the thread have already said , boots / helmet 1stly own as retail gear for these products even though are user friendly and do the job they aint they have done more milage than a guy on a bike doing the tour de france ... sweat factor 7 and some ? |

Try being nice to them and they might, depending how busy they are. |

Hey guys,
I went to MK last Sunday and did the full day course. I passed and it feels great. It was better than I thought it would be.
Anyway, I used my own equipment and I can say that it feels good and very easy to control when riding. My friend instead, he used the rental equipment which had a high mileage if you know what I mean.
I am cosidering going this Sunday again for about 2-3 hours early in the morning.
Hope to see you there,
Israel. |

The whole reason I bought my own board and boots was so I didn't have to use the rental stuff, the boots never fitted me and were sweaty and the bindings were only screwed to the board with 3 of the 4 screws loosely so they swiveled around.
In my opinion if you enjoy snowboarding and know that you are going to stick with it you should invest in your own stuff. |
