So, my season just got kicked off in this snow-less metropolis we call the midwest. Cascade Mountain (aka HILL) just opened and I got my first day of riding in. Hopefully in the next few weeks I'll get some pictures of me and the boys up here. Post up your experiences, setups, pictures, whatever.

As soon as we got natural snow I'll get up some pictures of some urban riding too. ISU is riddled with handrails just waiting to be thrashed.

i love snowboarding. since the snow is about 4 hours away and i just have the 240, i'm only able to go once or twice per season. been riding for about 2-3 years. theres nothing like gliding down a mountain.

Heading out to Telluride in 2 weeks for a 5 days of riding. Can't wait.Last year spent Spring Break in Jackson. When we got there, we had 2 days of 4+ feet freshies (the first day, it was snowing about 4+ inches an hour) Most amazing two days of riding I've ever had. On top of that, it was Jackson, which has some of the best terrain around. Dropping Corbet's with that much fresh snow was SO cool.

Years riding? Um... I guess this is my 11th year riding. Man, why am I not better?After I get my degree, I'm going to head out to CO and be a lifty for a few years, so riding everyday should put me on the next plateau. Having to go get snow from the ice rink for 9 months out of the year, everytime you want to session a rail doesn't help you get better. Stupid east side of Michigan.

"Home mountain": Um... I don't really consider anyplace I live near really my 'home mountain', though I ride at a local trash dump when I get needy. Before I quit the UofM team, we rode Crystal Mt. almost exclusively, but really, I'd call Breck the only real mountain I know like the back of my hand. I love summit county, and anyone who says it's 'played out' is a pretentious douchebag.

Lol, snowboarding was kinda my life for several years. I sold off a lot of my junk, but I still have a 2 K2 WWWs, an Academy Chad Otterstrom for an all around fun board, and an Academy Rythm for now. I sold all my Capita's, since the Stair Master was a little too buttery and jittery for my liking.

I used to be really into it around the entire East Coast, but all the kids I used to ride with all moved out west and such to really pursue snowboarding as more of a career. A lot of them were really fun to ride with. You might seen a few of them off some TWS videos if you look up some of the guys from Bear Mtn out west, Keystone, and the Colorado Resorts.

Keep eyes out for Kade Madsen, Greg Sudac, Kyle Earl, etc. It's really sick to grow up with these guys.

I haven't been into lately with college work piled on and such. But I also hate the direction snowboarding has taken. I've been riding for close to about 5 years heavily, and things have change so much.

It used to be with a group of friends and everyone would have a great time and laugh. Now the parks and places are full of little pricks and haters, lol. I don't know why kids feel like they constantly have to hate on eachother. Snowboarding used to be about hanging out and having a good time, and not calling out any kid that can't stomp each move.

The places I ride and where the kids HATE on you for lookin good, lol:Mountain Creek, NJHunter, NYCamel Back , PAWatervill Valeey, NH (most fun)Loon Mtn, NHStratton, VTOkemo, VT (also a lot of snow)

I have a few friends with places out west, but I wouldn't consider those my home places.

found this thread i have a bunch of pics that we taken throughout this year that i will post up once i get them from my friends i refuse to ride with a camera lucky for me i got a bunch of people that love taking pictures.

Post by **JimmyMethod** » Wed Jul 09, 2008 10:22 am

I got a great camera for riding with.The 770SW.It's good down to something like -10C, it's crush proof, scratch proof, water proof, drop proof (up to 6 feet), and it's pretty compact.

When you do filming you need a designated camera carrier, but for great stills, go with the 770SW.

Post by **snwbrdr435** » Wed Jul 09, 2008 10:40 am

I got some pictures uploading now. I haven't felt the need to get a camera yet cause all my friends have them and we can always have someone to film/ take pictures.

Post by **snwbrdr435** » Wed Jul 09, 2008 10:41 am

ok here are some photos from a couple days.

Post by **snwbrdr435** » Wed Jul 09, 2008 10:42 am

Post by **snwbrdr435** » Wed Jul 09, 2008 10:44 am

some crappy 30 dollar walmart camera pics

Post by **boznuttz** » Wed Jul 09, 2008 11:42 am

My friend has a Cannon XTi. That thing is pure sex. His fisheye alone cost about 600 to 700 bucks.

Post by **snwbrdr435** » Wed Jul 16, 2008 11:40 am

IMO the xti is over rated. Canon makes better cameras for a little more money.

Post by **boznuttz** » Wed Jul 16, 2008 3:09 pm

Very true, but it was in his budget range. Savin money on cameras.....to an extent...FTW!

Man-made snow FTL. Ughhhhhh. Come over to MI (Marquette Mountain), we have the first park east of the Mississippi to get a top rating.

now i want to go snowboarding bad. ive been riding since i was 14 or so, only get out 4-10 times a year though. i ride a burton board, flow bindings, burton boots, smith goggles with mirror lense, and a skull mask so as not to be indentified.

Post by **snwbrdr435** » Sat Nov 29, 2008 1:17 pm

Bump this up to the top

Post by **95.240AZN378** » Tue Dec 02, 2008 8:44 pm

I'm pretty new to snowboards. I went for the first time last year and fell in love with it. I live like 4+ hours away, so i go 2-3 times a year (skii'd before), and looking for something to call my own since, i want to get into it and don't want to get rentals.

Post by **nismojunkie** » Sat Jan 24, 2009 11:13 am

I went today for the first time. It was so much fun, and a lot easier then I thought it would be. I rented a board though, so nothing special there. It was a 3 hour bus ride, but well worth it.

Post by **snwbrdr435** » Sat Jan 31, 2009 12:38 pm

If anyone needs any snowboard stuff email me.

Post by **s13_chris** » Wed Feb 18, 2009 7:35 am

Little digi camera.

I started boarding when I was 10 (I'm 23 now) but I stopped 4 years ago and havnt touched a board during that time because of school, work, and relationships. I miss it a lot. Cruising above the tree line with blue sky and no wind, not a care in the world just zig zagging for hundreds of yards....man nothing like it. I did some downhill racing before I quit when I was 14 with the young ones, that stuff was brutal.Home mountain will always be Mount Hood (occasionally Bachelor)

Post by **ccptravis** » Tue Feb 24, 2009 11:05 am

i went to the ALPS this year, now that i'm back to the east coast i really wish i hadn't gone I put my gear in storage with the rest of my crap. east coast riding is soooooooooooooooo lame.
