I finally got to snowboard for the first time at Sierra on Saturday and shit was fun as fuck! We got there hella late, so I only got to ride for 2 hours with no lessons. I just said fuck it and tried to pick it up. I fell hella times, but no matter what the few times i did stay on the board going down was worth it to me.

Real talk I'm addicted and ready to go again asap!! Shit im even thinking about buying a coo board in the off-season. My boys be going all the time so I will always have folks to roll with.

Anybody got some good recommendations on equipment (Boards, boots, bindings, etc)? What spots do you guys recommend as well?

Also that snow hurt like a muthafucka. I was mad I didn't go on Sunday after it had been snowing all night.

Im selling a 158 K2 Brigade Board / with K2 Bindings all brand new only been rode 2 times ......... It has a few reviews on You-tube its a great first board . Great for all-terrain or park riding . I got it brand new for park riding but its just too small . I have posted pics - I'll put one up get @ me PM in you or anyone has an offer ...

Today was sunny - windy - and learned you don't wanna slide rails right after a board wax & edge ........... I busted my face , back , and ass harder than I have in years - was gasping for air finally got outa there & hit the bar hard ...

The snow should be good till Friday - After that its gonna get icy again - but it was a nice little storm .......

I paid $275 for the board alone & $150 for the bindings & you can't find a scratch on the rails or base .... Its perfect & a good buy for $300
$300 -

Made it out to boreal again yesterday, no lines or nothing, I prefer the afternoons because I cant get used to the goggles. Started to get the hang of going off the small jumps was going to try the boxes a few times but pussed out at the end.
