You need to make a video going down the mountain with a beginner board. Literaly just 2 pieces of rubber holding your feet in . That would be so funny

Although as a beginner good gear will be more beneficial to building a solid foundation rather than compensating through low quality or poorly made equipment

I bought an old rental board (w/bindings) from a local shop for $60 and then spent 200 on boots. I highly recommend this strategy

@@kayla114 it did not… but my old ones are still working for now. Board only.

As someone who bought this exact same setup as his first snowboard I'll throw my 2 cents in. I'm 6'8" and a size 13 shoe, though at the time I thought I was a 14. I bought the 170 W (at least it's somewhere in that range) with the 14 boot. When I got it, there was an ungodly amount of toe drag. After 2 trips I bought new size 13 boots so that they'd fit better and because the boots were trash (as you all saw.) After getting new boots the board rode okay. I learned my first indy on it, which was cool. But as I got better I noticed that it didn't hold it's edge well, even as my form got way better. An alright board for beginners to be honest, but you NEED different boots.

My boy got this board for his first season and ended up getting a new one the next season because he progressed so fast and wanted to get a name branded board but he loved it and he helped him progress fast

why was this unironically some of the best footage of you shredding lmfao

Going snow boarding at wolf Creek next weekend . Can’t wait . Watching you gets me excited . Going to buy my own setup soon. Tired of renting them out

It's my first season with frequent access to the mountain and I thrifted a full setup for $120. I rode it a few days until I was sure I wanted to board and then just got nice bindings/boots. I think as long as a board is the right size and decent condition its fine. New boots were a big upgrade though.

Went to Keystone last year for the first time. Such a blast! Wish I lived in a place that got snow.

As someone who is just starting out on an actual snowboard, I have this whole set up that I bought secondhand. It does the job for me so if you’re trying to get into the game, this is a hell of a deal and not a bad beginner board.

Nice video! Gives some people a cheaper option for just starting out. Love that you have it away at the end too!

Thanks for the review. Good to keep the manufacturers honest. My choice was to get a last year Nitro Prime Raw for €200 and then add Union Forces and Burton Ruler BOAs (that were obviously a lot more combined than this setup, but I can probably use the bindings and boots with my next board as well).

I learned to snowboard on a cheap board. After buying a burton and having a strap break and switching back. I got hurt on the cheap board. Couldn't do anything with it. Was great to learn balance, but when you have barely to no skill at all the board will help greatly. My personal experience.

That actually answered my question, THANKS MAN I am a TOTAL beginner (my profile pic, is one of those half-day intro to ski/snowboard packages here in Europe) I was WONDERING about a starter set from Amazon I think I will buy the set (got decent boots), then use the board for a year or two and just rip it up.

@harrisonruff8343

That is kinda what I did, personally what I would suggest doing is after a season or when you feel comfortable get a new pair of bindings and replace those. The bindings I had on my board were almost identical to the one in the video and was the next obvious weak-point. The board is honestly good to keep for a good while if you are fine just replacing the bindings with a good new set, my next upgrade is a new board as I have a really nice pair of boots and bindings with my cheap board. Just keep in mind that you will have to take care of the board yourself (Waxing, and sharpening the edges). Just wanted to give my thoughts on this, and what I am doing myself.

That's so awesome of you man. So cool

Purchasing my first setup now! Got a 2020 nitro prime screen and salamon bindings, haven't gotten boots yet, so far I've gotten really rare deals, only spent 220$ so far on the set up, hoping to keep the boots at around 200-250

Which brands are currently the best for gear (boots, bindings, board)? Haven't been on a board in about 8 years. Previously rode for about 15 years. Trying to get back in the game.

Thrift stores can be good too. I got my boots, board and bindings for $55 at my thrift store. The board is big for me but everything else is awesome and less than a rental for 1 day.

I just buy used. I spent 120 for a 145 lamar with bindings. At that price there's no stress sending jumps over rocks or hitting side hits on non-powder days. I got new 150 dollar boots from my dad but my buddies have been running used boots for a long time and they've gotten some good deals. Plus when you buy the no name actually eating a rock or a tree is more likely to cause cracks or even snap the board.

my dad got a full set from The House and it was only 300 for boots board and bindings, it was made by a company called chamonix.

Same. The usual snowboarder/skier goes into the mountains for a week. It does not worth it to put 1k+ into new euipment for just putting it into the shelf for 359 days a year. My used Burton custom X cost around 150€, my bootes and binding additional 400 as i always wanted to have new boots. Thats the best way for those who ride just a week in a year in my opinion.

I had to buy the inserts for $12 and just to be sure, i had my shop epoxy a small crack in tail/sidewall/topsheet. So 340 for a killer board that looked like it was either used one time or stolen and sold to play it again lol. was priced at 4 and he wanted 320 plus tax at 20% off. I said I'll take it right now, if you can do 3 plus tax. I can't wait for lower MI season to really get going. I go into play it agains all the time looking for flip$boards or boards i want to try and then can sell without a loss. I got an 08 custom for 60 and freestyle bindings for 50, not the greatest board i ever rode but plenty for a friend to use and me not to worry about them damaging it. Lighter and better than any rental a buddy could use. Especially with tht purl all temp brick i just got w/ buckhouses code!

This Video was dope especially the Giveaway! I first got introduced in the sport back in 2019, even before officially boarding the place i was staying had a cheap board and work boots and started off with a little slope and then months later boom actually getting on the bunny slopes. Years passed my friends got into it and i wanted to go with them. Just last Year i got the Aura Pro2s, Entry Level helmet, pants with my own money and stuff ive been given were goggles and gloves. As of right now im super hyped to get back out there!! My car is dialed, got my own board/bindings, the anytime pass Big Bear, and the whole WTAPS x Vans Snow Kit oh and also two GoPros.
