Longsiege Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Hey I noticed in the "other hobbies.. not computer related" thread a few people snowboard... Personally I enjoy it a lot, and wonder where everyone rides, what they ride and for how long? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asdflkjsdrhthfhrhr Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 I've been doing it since I was 12 I think.. I'm still not all that good, despite my weekly trips to a place nearby during the winter. I have a burton bullet 154, what are you all riding?

BMac Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 Moved to The Sporting Arena Great move Mr. Mod sir. As to the question of how much for the base setup, when my fam all got stuff the average was like $300. It's expensive so rent equip first to make sure you'll like it.
