    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.

    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..
