sidge..FFS

camber and other tech make very little difference to the boards price, you can get a regular camber and a flat kick or gullwing camber board from the respective companies for the same price so your point of money is mute. Most of the tech has been round for enough years to trickle down into the budget board market.(and even the second hand market)

the point is you have not justification for the statement that it's all marketing BS.. because you have no knowledge about any of it from a first hand perspective... if you know so much about it, give us a breakdown of what the tech does and how it will or won't help??

no... you can't because you are a troll who straps on a board so rarely and have ridden so little that you are clueless.


As per my very original post in this thread, I have a few boards knocking around that are from 94-96 and they still ride fine and you can have a great time on them.

However if you have the money and desire to buy some new kit in the sales(investing in boots first ) then some of the modern tech will make your life easier (less edge catching in turns for example) then do your research and demo if you can..or borrow of some friends.

If you have no money for snowboarding, buy some computer bits slap it together and sprout crap on snowboarding forums...it's worked for sidget for years.. someones even taught him to put his bindings on the right way now.

I've had a Ride DH for just under 2 seasons, but when I went to Capita it lasted 3 months e.g. 80ish days!!!!
