Hello all,
Long story short, I found my way here coming into my second season of snowboarding. While I do enjoy snowboarding (I am enamored with the backcountry freestyle aspect; I suggest watching "Deeper" and "Furthur" by Teton Gravity Research), I grew up with hockey, practically living on ice for a good 16 years. It's not that I'm discouraged with the learning curve of snowboarding; I've progressed well enough to enjoy myslef, but still feel very limited and unnatural.
Thus, I'm looking to get into skiboarding, and this is the forum to get immersed in it. After spending a good 3 hours perusing ebay, CL and rummaging around the internet, I've found a few options. However, I wanted to know if anyone had an arrow too many in the quiver, and was looking to let them go.
I'll source the ski boots myself (fitting in person, as well as the cost associated with the whole snowboard boot setup, as risers+snowboard bindings= more than the boards), but am looking for non-release bindings and a set of boards. For me, it's function over form, as I'm not sure if I'll take to it.
I'm bidding on the Revolt 105's mentioned in the forum (which, in November, were posted on here), but would need bindings. There are also a pair of SnowJam 90cm locally, and was wondering if anyone had an opinion on them. http://worcester.craigslist.org/for/3465308393.html . I'm 6'1", ~165 with the winter gear on, if it helps (as the chart is based on height/weight).
All in all, thanks in advance for the help. Any leads would be great.
Take care,
-Y
