  1. Thank you all for your quick responses!

     

    Seriously, my experiences have been people in specialized sports are d*cks. Seriously, if you have ever gone into a high end bike shop with a regular bike looking for help... you get what I mean.

     

    Super thanks and see you around the forum!

     

    May gravity be kind to you...

  2. Hello bomber online forum!

    I met a gentleman at White tail resort in PA this past weekend  (Sunday 7JAN) and was amazed by his alpine board. I had never seen such a thing

    My questions for the forum are:

    Where can I go to get a basic understanding of alpine boards? Looking at the bomber store there seems to be lots of technical pieces like plates that go beneath the bindings as an example. How does all of this make sense?

    Where can I go for used equipment? The price of new gear is sort of totally a deal breaker

    How hard is it to transition from soft boots and regular snowboarding to hard boots and alpine boarding?

    Oh my god how fast do those things go? Seriously, standing still they look like they go faster than I can think. And the pictures and videos both intrigue and terrify me. This question sort of goes hand in hand with the question above.

    I would rate my skill level as intermediate

    I weigh in around 178-183

    I have no desire for speed. I want sweet carving and to be able to use the whole mountain

    Thanks for your patience with my newbie questions

    Adios!

    Marc
