This also a new addition, I thought since I had some pics of my board, I should post them. It's a new elan boulevard 164 ($395). Rides great compared to 3 years riding rental oxygens. I figured it was time for a new board. I also got some flow binding to be a little different, they are very versatile, and easily adjustable, plus everyone stares when you're in and out of the bindings in 10 seconds! I like to ride with my left foot 15 deg. to the left and my right foor 15 deg. to the right, this really helps for free riding and riding goofy, plus spins and landing jumps are much easier. A lot of places set the right foot straight forward and the left foot 30 deg. to the left (if you ride regular), but this is no good if you like to ride te terrain park. I'll get some more detailed pics of the binding in action in a while. Here's the pics so far:

As for bindings I got some new Vans, I couldn't tell you which kind off the top of my head, I'll have to get some pics up in the future. They ride great though, super tight and comfy. I did get one thing that I never use, a DaKine board bag which I'd like to sell for roughly $20, if you're interested email me. I'll definately have some pics up in the near future. Another thing for now is that I got a spot in a snowboarding video with my friends, I'll get some promo's up for in as soon as I find out the name of the video.
Our best spot to ride is at Mt. Labrador, which is fairly small although this winter has been the best in 4 years, and the terrain park is killer. [click here to check out their site] they have some webcams set up, with one right at the base of the halfpipe. Labrador is located in Truxton, NY about 40 minutes from Syracuse. The next mountain out is hours away. Of course there's Song Mountain, but they have s#it for boarders. Anyways, if you're in the area, you probably already know about it it's mad popular so it's always crowded, so that sucks but what can you do?
SHOW ME YOUR GEAR! If you have any pics of your board / gear you want to send in, I will post them up. Any stories also? Let me know, I'll post some of my own when I get some time. Also here's some cool links to check out for boarding gear:
