• Name: 2011 Burton Whammy Bar Snowboard Men's
• Skill:  Advanced
• Use:  Boxes,Jumps,Rails
• Pros:  Flex, pop, scoop
• Cons:  carving, speed,

Experience:   I took this board for a spin during Burton's Demo Tour. The mid-scoop really makes a difference for park and jibbing but I do not recommend it for all mountain riding. It's very catch free, easy to spin, and locks on rails. It does not carve well at all. Overall I enjoyed messing around on this board on a bluebird park day.

• Name: 2010 Smith I/O
• Pros:  Easy, quick lens removal / replacement, many lens options, case
• Cons:  Expensive,

Experience:   I started riding with these last season after near all my friends recommended them. They are absolutely amazing to look through with near perfection viewing and comfort. So far I have only worn the dark mirror lens for bright days (sunny all the time in CA) but I've practiced the replacing them. Very easy. I love all the retro strap designs.

• Name: 2010 Burton The Hero Snowboard Men's
• Skill:  Advanced
• Use:  Groomed,High Speeds,Park,Powder,Ungroomed
• Pros:  V-rocker,
• Cons:  slow,

Experience:   My buddy bought a Burton Custom at the beginning of last season. After he took my custom v-rocker for a spin he immediately grabbed a Hero. The rocker is a must for the wonderful sierra cement. Pops you out, keeps you a float. Love it!

• Name: 2011 DC Judge BOA Snowboard Boots Men's
• Pros:  BOA system, Comfortable, Warm
• Cons:  Stiff,
• Fit:  mid
• Flex:  stiff
• Shoe Size:  10
• Boot Size:  11.5

Experience:   I purchased these boots earlier this season. It took me four days of hard riding before I properly broke them in. (After the first two days I contemplated returning because of the stiffness). Overall this is a great, comfortable boot. The sizes run small so be aware. I love the BOA cable system and do not think I will ever return to laces. So easy to change and customize your fit on the fly. Recommended for all mountain riding.

• Name: 2009 Forum Seeker
• Skill:  Intermediate
• Use:  Boxes,Halfpipe,Jumps,Rails
• Pros:  Pop!,

Experience:   My buddy bought this board last season which I took out for a spin a bit later. It's a nice stable ride with lots of pop for jumps and features. Needless to say I loved it in the park. However, this is not a great all-mountain, free-ride style board. Very sluggish with minimal feel at higher speeds. Smoke 'em all in the park or get smoked on the peaks.

• Name: 2010 Burton Mission EST
• Pros:  Lightweight, very customizable setups, low cost
• Flex:  mid

Experience:   Unknowingly at the time, I was forced into purchasing EST bindings after buying a Burton board with the channel binding set up. I was upset that Burton is beginning the process of becoming a monopoly similar to Microsoft, but was surprised at how well the bindings worked out. I essentially bought these because they were low cost EST. 1/2 season on these and I am still happy and impressed. Overall I recommend them to anyone looking for a good all mountain type of binding. Okay but not great for parks

• Name: 2010 Burton Custom V-Rocker
• Skill:  Advanced
• Use:  High Speeds,Off Trail,Powder,Ungroomed
• Pros:  V-rocker / Inverse Camber, lightweight, great flex for the application
• Cons:  I can't think of any,

Experience:   I purchased this board on a whim last season (during Sierra's mid-season 50% off sale). I had read reviews of the inverse camber type of boards but never experience it until I got this board. I must say, it's absolutely amazing! It was a little squirrely and weird at first with my feet feeling like they were floating when on packed snow. Got used to it in one day. The best thing ever is the use in deep sierra heavy powder. This board stays out better than I've ever experience!! I may never ride a regular camber board again!

• Pros:  sound, sport activities worthy,
• Cons:  expensive,

Experience:   These headphones are a must for snowboarding. iPod/iPhone headphones fall out all the time, and I hate the white. These headphones sound great but I got them for a lesser price on another website.
