We now have a dedicated forum for Product Reviews.
However, you cannot create a new review in there directly. Instead you should post your Product Reviews in this forum and clearly mark them with "REVIEW: ". The moderators will keep an eye on posts and if they're constructive, they will be moved to the appropriate Product Review forum: Snowboards, Boots, Bindings, Goggles/Glasses, Helmets/Protection and Technical Clothing. Once there, people can continue to add their own comments to the post as usual.
We ask that you use the following guidelines for all reviews.
1. Please give them an obvious title, e.g. "REVIEW: Burton Hails" rather than "REVIEW: My new boots"
2. Please state the item's cost when new.
3. Please state the year in which the product was available.
4. Please include a picture of the item if possible.
5. Please be constructive.
We don't particularly want people to "score" products - these things are subjective after all - but if you like the product, tell people why and if you don't like the product, then likewise.
Feel free to contact a moderator if you'd like your review moved to the review forum.
If you'd like an example review, check out my review of my Burton Hails.
At the moment, we're just interested in Snowboard Products. We might add music, games, videos, resorts and slopes if it proves popular. |

Let's see how they get used for a week or two first. We already have a Product Review section and nobody ever used it  It wasn't very good (and it's still there for the moment if people want to look at tthat), but no point going over the top if nobody is going to make the effort.
Much of the stuff on the forum is asking questions about products and it does take a bit of effort to actually write a decent review. |

Any chance people can post a poll with their review? Over time this would give a gauge of everyone's impression of the product (as on Amazon, for example!)
Probably best avoided when reviewing Flows, of course |

I bought this board when i was in the White Mountains region in the US, having seriously struggled with rentals due to my size 15 feet. I couldn’t get hold of this board in the UK, even spoke to RIDE’s European arm, to no avail. I was soo excited when i picked it up in Boston, i attached my XL binding when i stopped for ‘GAS’.
After one run, i was in love. The size of the board is big, but it is fast too, and is insanely manoeuvrable for the length. It is stiff, but for my fat arse, that’s a good thing. The stiffness is forgivable, but not too much flexibility i was seriously impressed, but i admit, i am comparing it rentals, and due to my height and weight, i am restricted in boards so forgive my enthusiasm for this particular one. |

REVIEW: 07/08 Burton Bullet 159
Cost £154 in sale (£220 RRP)
Got this board after i had been riding for a few months and bought without ever riding one, however my couson has one and he said it was decent for beginner/intermediate. Rode this board quite abit but only in the domes.
Its an all mountain board and its abit flexible for tail presses but not very poppy for ollies, it rides well and turns with ease. Only problem i have is that the edges came pretty blunt and they dont sharpen however much you use the edge sharpener, but this could well be my edge sharpener (dakine) but ill find out when i take it into a shop.
Overall this board is great for a beginner bigger footed rider, im UK size 11 and its just right. But if you ride quite alot then id suggest getting something abit more advanced as im finding its holding up my progression.

| You need to post it in it's own thread in Equipment and Media so we can move it. Adding it here it can't be moved. |
