Folks
Lookin for any input on converting from freestyle to alpine. I have been riding since 1984 and have noticed that I am enjoying laying down turns on my Burton Custom more than heading to the park. I have been doing a good bit of research, but still need some direction from the folks that do it.
Looking to get a setup initially then possibly build the quiver. I ride very fast and aggressively now and feel I could move into the alpine feel very readily.
I am 6' about 200 lbs regular footer from the east coast (boiler plate), PA with occasional jaunts to the west and VT and NH.
It seems the selections are mostly Burton, Coiler and Donek. I have inquired with Coiler but have not heard back from them.
ANy of you input is greatly welcomed for this noob.
Mellow Yellow, if you read this, I grew up in the burgh area and started riding at Hidden VAlley on Burton Elite 150 split tail back in '84. If I'm ever back in the area from the Lehigh Valley, possbly hook up and ride. Then to the Foggy Goggles.
Hope all of you had a great season.
