Sure, I'll bite...

33

Male

+- age 22

+- 11 years

Pick up chicks... ;) Okay, actually the feeling... the flow.. being in the mountains.. adrenaline rush..

I don't like crowds, or ice. I don't like rude people on the slopes...

I probably spend $300 a year on equipment.. (averaged over all my years boarding)

A rush.... challenge... natural....

+- 30 days a year

I'd like to make the it all lighter... Mostly the board and bindings... Boots aren't too bad these days... A step-in binding with the weight, comfort, and performance of a
strap/flow setup with a quick release.

I knew you were B.S.ing when you said you average only $300 a year!

ha! I laugh in your general direction

Well, um, er, uh... okay... I spent about $500 to cover my first 5 years, then have been spending just a weeee bit more since... But it's about bargain shopping.. :)

Besides, if you can use something for other than snowboarding, does it count as a specific snowboarding expense? I have some nice shelves that are snowboards, so didn't count those. And um, I wear my boots as slippers around the house, so those don't count. Clothing is universal, so that doesn't count.. So that's just my binding budget every year I guess.. :)

[canuck]

dare I ask what your everyday use for snowboard wax might be?

:o

[NoKnees]

Too many thoughts going through my mind on this one.. I'll leave it with :eek:
