Just got back from Tahoe! weather was nice but it was almost all ice I miss last season. Ive got an arbor wasteland and element with union contact pros. I like the setup, super stiff. Wanna get another board but haven't found one I really like.

I'm loving the never summer, it's an awsome freekstyle/parkboard but handles at high speeds. Friend of mine has the unions they are also solid bindings. This years I got rome mobs I wish I woulf have got the 390's or unions.

I haven't ridden once this year yet, as a matter of fact it's almost 55 out right now. My bike is tore apart in the garage too, it's a lose lose situation.

I like the unions for adjustability *sp its crazy. I've seen a few guys with NS and a few with libtech I think next time I got up I'll try and demo them if its not too much.

Well, the seasoin is most definetely on in here, even have a small ski-center just 30km. From where I live. Just a bump compared t your slopes but as a kid I was there every chance I got. Haven't had time to go there recent years nor a friend to go with me... I'm more of a ski-guy, but I did try the board for half a season years back. Couldn't get the hang of it/ didn't feel right. One time I was going downhill full steam when a fist-size block of ice hit the front corner of the board, turned it sideways lightning-fast, the front side of the board bit the slope, I slammed face first into the ground and managed to whack the back of my head with the board (still wonder how that is possible since there's no way I can bend into that position). Slided slowly downhill with blood coming from both sides of my head (no helmet, I know...) returned the rental board and have never gotten on one since...
