Red Impact Base Layer Pant - Women's

November 6, 2009

I remember that impact short, not so sweet!

This is completely different, its more of a compression fit. Times change quickly! you'll have no problem swinging these under your riding pants. I rock them (but don't tell my fiends) and I'm into that kooky tight pant fit.

Pads can't be removed... they are a fairly light-weight foam.

Red Prime Helmet

November 6, 2009

The helmet feel so darn light! Due mostly to its "Ultra Lightweight In-Molded Polycarbonate Shell and Extra Durable ABS Cover"

The beast part about this lid is you can pump it up like your old-school Reebok's for the PERFECT seamless fit! (saves weight with the air padding too!)

Get ready to live!

I don't know the exact weight in grams for ya, but they are pretty darn light! especially due to the Ultra Lightweight In-Molded Polycarbonate Shell. (In-molded is lighter weight than injected ABS shells)

Burton Joystick Snowboard

November 6, 2009

The general theory with rocker is to size down, as with a rocker-ed board you use more of an edge between the bindings because of the rock. Its similar to having a longer effective edge.

Personally, I actually ride this board at the same size as my cambered.

The joystick is my weapon of choice for all conditions. I ride a 157 for jmups, rails, and pipe, and then drop into a 159W for deep powder. (I'm 6 foot and close to 200 lbs.)

This board changed my snowboarding for the better, hands down!

Burton Wheelie Flight Deck Luggage - 50L

This item is very durable and can take a beating... After all, reckless pro snowboarders drag it around the world on a consistent basis. Also, its my travel bag of choice.

Built tough and durable, the warranty proves that!

Burton Custom Smalls Snowboard - Kids'

November 6, 2009

Lukas is correct, its all based on weight... I would go with the slightly larger size (130-ish) as he is still growing.

Chopper may be a better bet as its less aggressive than the custom small and geared towards beginners... Custom small is insanely good and more durable if plans are to pass down to another child eventually.

Burton Moto Snowboard Boot - Men's

November 6, 2009

No, Cody... If you are a true 13 on a measuring device, get a 13, not larger. In snowboarding, you definitely do not want big boots, if anything most people get them on the small side. (less toe/heel drag)

Also, if your foot moves around, you will either fatigue your body from your foot always cramping up from trying to grapple the bottom of the boot. Or, you'll be swishing around so much that your toe will jam forward to the front of the boot on toe side turns giving you some gnarly bruises.

My advice, true 13 rocks a true 13 (or a 12.5 if you want to rock foot bondage a bit :) After a while the boots will pack out a quarter of a size.

Burton Flying V Snowboard

November 6, 2009

What's up Matt B! Burton did not rip off Lib as both rockers are actually substantially different.

Banana - There is radial rocker banana between your feet, it becomes flat underneath your bindings,then you have your tip and tail kicks. (C2 Power Banana would be similar to Flying V)

Flying V - There is a V-rocker (not continuous radial, as it breaks at a central point) between your bindings, then the Flying part means that there is camber underneath your feet and out towards the tip and tail kicks to help hold an edge, and then it v-rocks again on both the tip and tail before kicking upward. Make sense? I know its kinda gnarly complex.

When it comes to EGD combined with Pressure distribution edges (called frostbite) and differentiating that from Magnatraction.

EGD is switching the woods grain direction under the bindings to enhance edge hold. (think of trying to break a toothpick by flexing them between your thumb and middle finger -- kinda hard to break) That combined with a pressure distribution edges (similar to magna) in which the edge protrudes outward 1 mil to again help with edge hold. An edge technology is very important when considering rocker-ed boards! (as rocker boards are naturally more loose feeling on snow -- not as much true and tried driving power as historical camber proves)

Magna is a kindof like looking down a serrated knife and much easier to visually see. It provides similar edge hold to PDE, and shifts edge pressure away from the tip and tail.

Lets face it, I'm biased. Lib makes great product, but I prefer the flying V on Burton... I've ridden this board in all conditions and its awesome!!!
