I recently managed to acquire some money, and would like to devote a portion of it towards next years season (this one has pretty much wrapped here on the east coast). I little background:
I currently own a Prior WCR 173 and a F2 GS 183, both of which I love and both or which are not metal. I own one pair of F2 Titanium Race Plates, which I also like (pain in the ass having to switch bindings over, however). My boots are UPZ RC10s, black tongue. I love expressive freeriding, mixing in Euro carves with race carves and jumps/tricks. However, I also race.
My budget is ~$2,000.
As mentioned I currently don't own a metal board, and I demoed one this season and wasn't in love with it (it was a Coiler of some sort, no VSR). No pop at all - is this the case with all metal boards? I love the spring my wood core boards provide.
My initial list only includes two pairs of F2 bindings, which are a must (and ~$400). What else should I be looking into?
Thanks all in advance for the input.

Wasn't trying to offend. I guess I have in ways named the price point as of now.

Looking for some around the 100-120 price range. Anyone?

Thanks for the help, but if I wanted them new I would just pick them up at Catek or something, where they retail for $219 currently. I am looking for a used set for less than this amount. Anyone?

Looking to finally ride with the infamous Team 32. Gleb is apparently responsible for me, as mentioned in prior posts by the Dungeon Master John. Where to meet and when?
Respectfully requesting company.

Looking for a pair in LG. Name you price.
Let me know!

Tip at the hip. Bob-o's gunna make me famous.

Check it out. Done on a trip to Utah. Brought the soft boot setup as I expected powder (although I hardly got any).
-
I am game. Please count me in on the list. Mitchell Pauly is the name.

Is anyone going to be there? If you want to meet up, let me know where and when.

Ran into Gleb (sp?) this past Saturday and he mentioned that there is a Team 32 that meets at Loon and rips. I am a newbie on hardboots- in my first real season (rode my setup maybe 6 times last year).
Going to be at Sunday River Saturday, Loon on Sunday.
New to the sport, new to this Forum.

Thanks for the tips so far. I am all set in the waxing/tuning departments. I am a serial tuner. Also, I head up to VT/NH every weekend, but its getting to be soft boot time with all the slush I have seen.
I was not impressed by the metal I rode, as I mentioned before it had no pop at all and didn't seem to take turns with the same authority that my other, wood based boards do. In thinking things over, aside from the bindings, I think I already have two great racing boards both of which I can get another season out of. I am leaning towards an all-around / freestyle / freeride board for hardbooting. Any recommendations? Anyone ridden a Bastard? I think due to bang for my buck, I am going to stick with F2 bindings for the time being... anyone disagree?
Again, thanks for all the feedback and help, you all know, I am sure, way more than I do about hardbooting.
