  1. What burns more calories?

    Posted · Edited by Michelle

    which one of these do you think burns more calories? I think this particular survey was talking about regular "freestyle" snowboarding. I would think hard boot snowboarding burns more calories, unless you are doing tricks in the park? Anyway, I was surprised by the results.

  11. Recommendations from women

    Seriously talk to Bruce and/or Sean. They want to build you a snowboard, but above all they want you to end up with the best snowboard for you.
    Very good advice! Try and be able to articulate what exactly you like about your board, and what you think you wouldn't like. It helps them to understand what you are looking for. They know which questions to ask, but it helps if you can give them info as well. :)

  16. Hardboot Rentals?

    Clearly, 'proper' hardboots might be better in most circumstances, but given the niche aspect of this sport, do we really have the luxury of insisting that's the only way to go?

    The problem is, they go out in ski boots, try it without instruction (which is usually the case), and HATE the sport because the boots don't flex the way they need to. They get frustrated (understandably) and think it's too hard so they leave the experience thinking THIS SUCKS.

    In a perfect world, we'd require everyone that rents/demos to also go out with an experienced person. However, that's just not feasible or logistically applicable. If we're trying to encourage people into the sport, we need to coax them into something that doesn't scare them away.

    The other aspect is if ski boots are the absolute only possibility, is it better than them not being able to try it at all? That also doesn't get people into the sport :smashfrea So there's a no win situation here.

    If you tried on the demo boots, you are probably going to be one size smaller unless you specifically talked with one of us to fit you. The demo boots are not a good indicator of size. Read the sizing rules here https://bomberonline.3dcartstores.com/assets/images/PDFs/Sizing_boots.pdf.

    For you guys/girls looking to rent/buy hard boot gear in the US, the only ones I know of (outside of Berkshire East) is us here at Bomber or at one of our events. :)
