Its all in the hips brother.
Just "carve" your way side by side and balance.

Man went for the first time earlier this month. Dying to go again. When's a good time to purchase gear and a board for next season? Thinking of just getting some now but don't know where to start.

Looks like you're from the Bay Area. Go check out Sports Basement. They should still have some boards from last season since it was a horrible year last year.

If you are in the bay,

I would buy your setup this season just cause we're suppose to have a great season.

Sports basement is clutch in the Bay.

As for goggles I have the Electric EG2 from a few seasons ago. When you buy goggles also note that the lens is important too. Some weather conditions are ideal for certain colours to help with your eyes. The orange lens usually can handle any and all conditions which is why they're found on the cheap goggles.

Mammoth had good coverage last weekend. Laid some fresh tracks and loved the borrowed Burton FA

Sick. We laid a bunch too. I'm a park rat and usually only ride man made snow since it doesn't snow here anymore. Waaaay different.

The house board shop is cool as hell. They are like a half hour from me. They stay plugging it. They ride like champs too.

Air blasters. You can do better but they were free. I really like dye.

I have been wearing Air Goggles forever. They rarely ever fog and do the trick. Can be had cheap and replacement lenses aren't breaking the bank either. Plus the Baker lenses with the double lenses are money, don't have to worry about scratching. And the rose blue chrome lenses are still the best storm/flat light lens I have ever tried, and that is what I wear 90% of the time here in the PNW since it is normally gray skies and dumping snow.

Have a pair of Smith Vice's on the way to try, wanted to switch it up and try something with a spherical lens and have heard good things.

Yeah man. I dig them. Mine never fog either. I roll with the yellow lenses so I can see where I'm going. I only really wear them when they are blowing snow here. They probably don't make snow where you are but those machines will blind you with snow.

I don't know how much they cost but I'm sure they aren't much.

Got up to 60 mph this weekend on my park board w/ rocker. :lol: they aren't meant for that. Every little bump you're in the air. Def would need another board if I was riding mountains on the regular.

^agree. New snowboarders can get super frustrated and it just ruins the whole day. It sucks for everyone too. That's not really something you learn with the whole squad. You just have to go out with another dude to help you who hopefully is a good teacher.

When I went the first time ever the other day , my friend nearly just abandoned me without telling me anything about how to start ..
