Snowboarding anyone?

Anyone else addicted to it? :cool3:

Sadly, I only got a few sessions in this year

But they were all awesome! I had one day this year after we had a good storm come through leaving TONS of fresh powder and it was by far the best day I've had in a while.

I'd really like to get one more session in for the spring before the resorts around here start to close. Only got a couple weeks left really, not that the snow will be that great but it'd still be nice to get one last session in!

And what do you ride? I've got a used Ride Industries 144cm I picked up this last year with '08 Burton Freestyle Bindings (LOVE 'em!) and some Ride Ind. boots to go with it. Probably going to pick up a new board and boots before this next season...

I took up snowboarding in 1998 and quit it in 2001 when I broke my left leg.

Don't know much about them really. I'm still somewhat new to the sport myself, only been boarding for a few years. Never heard anything bad about them anyway

That's too bad you broke your leg :speechless: Was it a pretty bad break?

I had a LOT of friends get injured this past season... Broken pelvises, wrists, ribs, collapsed lungs, various sprains, a concussion, etc. After a few very hard falls last year I decided it was worthwhile to wear a helmet. I try not get get in over my head, but I do push myself to improve

No, it was a minor break. It was my left tibia, real close to the foot. I had to wear a non-walking cast with crutches for 8 weeks (major PITA) but I was able to drive an automatic car since I am American.
