agressivstreetlamp Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 (edited) Hello everyone! first post here. Been an avid fan of the sport for a long time. I setup my softboots to carve hard, and would love to try my hand at hardbooting. If anyone is planning a trip, or willing to let me try or borrow their gear I would be very grateful for the opportunity! @Terryw suggested I just post here and see what sticks! Softboot size 12 so that's a Mondo 29.5/30 , would need Board, bindings and boots. Edited January 14, 2020 by agressivstreetlamp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcousticBoarder Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 Hello @agressivstreetlamp, welcome to the forums and to the dark side! I should have a board or 2 atleast that you can borrow and/or buy. I do have 2 sets of bindings that I use so if we meet up you are welcome to use a set for the day but I wont be lending them out more than that though. I definitely don't have anything to help for boots though unfortunately. What is your home mountain? Summit I am guessing if you met Terry? I should be doing a day trip there soon, probably on a Sunday, so maybe we can meet up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agressivstreetlamp Posted January 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 Hello! I actually met Terry at Mammoth. I am local to 91320 so my home mountain would be Summit yes, though Mammoth is also an easy trip. I fully understand not wanting to loan it out more than once! I just need a taste to see what it feels like. Let me see if I can arrange boots! Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcousticBoarder Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 I don't mind lending out more than once, just you can't take the bindings home, but the board you could I'm 91350 so I'm close enough to you too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agressivstreetlamp Posted January 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Fantastic. Let me see if I can figure out the boot situation! That sort of limits things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jcar Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 I’m also in the SoCal area. I too can offer up some boards and bindings, but no boots. Here’s just an idea, if you have stiff soft boots and are hesitant to purchase hardboots at this time we could always put a softboot set up on an alpine board. However this is not optimum but it would give you a sense of just how Alpine boards ride and most likely “set the hook”!! There are also lots of boots that come up for sale here! It’s a great place to go shopping! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agressivstreetlamp Posted January 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 I already ride with an alpine stance and generally have stiff equipement. Current setup is a Rome Blur 178 , Rome Folsom boots and Nidecker Carbon bindings. I'd love to try just that ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
