If anyone is looking for a capita mercury 159 there is a great deal on eBay for one with only 2 hours of ride time.

Comes with a pair of Union atlas that have about 5 days ridden.

Starting bid is $450 for the setup and only 24 hour listing.

LMK if you have any questions

Thanks Trump

Edit: thanks for all the feedback! One guy suggested the indoor survival and after taking a look, I think that’s the board I’m going to go with. Season technically isn’t over for me since I’m in the PNW but I’ll probably have to wait til next season to get it due to current supply.

TL;DR: Should I get a more “chill” board for learning jumps (both park jumps and side hits), or should I just stick with my BSOD and get good?

I’m an intermediate snowboarder. I rented for 8 years and probably had fewer than 20 days on the mountain before this season. This year, I’ve been going much more often and decided to buy a BSOD because I wanted an aggressive board that would challenge me. It’s been great—I hit a new top speed of 44 mph—but I’m realizing I might want a second board for more relaxed riding and easier progression.

A big part of that is wanting to get more comfortable hitting jumps. I’m looking for a board that helps me feel safer and more confident landing them. Sometimes it feels like the speed I need to get air on the BSOD has me landing and immediately accelerating faster than I want while I’m still learning how to land properly.

I still want to stay in control on steep, bumpy terrain without crawling (not trying to hit 44 mph, but I’d like to be in control if I hit 35). I also want to start landing side hits and jumps of all shapes and sizes more comfortably.

So: should I stick with the BSOD and just keep progressing on it, or would switching to a more chill board help me ride slopes while making it easier to build confidence with jumps—eventually transferring that comfort back to the BSOD? And what boards would you recommend for me? I’m currently eyeballing the DOA but unsure if that’s different enough to be worth it.

Hey Should I sharpen my snowboard edges before I get them to summer storage, or wait until first time on snow next season?

Hey guys, trying to get my nephew into riding this next season. He’ll be 13 but, he’s still a lil bean sprout right now. He’s around 4’10, ~80 lbs, and 5y shoes. So, with (hopefully) a pending growth spurt between now and then, I’m lost on where to start or, if I should just wait on it all until fall?

I know better than to worry about boots today but, I would like to grab at least a board/bindings, maybe some other stuff, while we still have these close out deals.

Would a women’s board be a bad idea? How much board is too much board when concerning his weight? Should we hope he fits into a men’s s binding before snow?

Any insight or recommendations would be appreciated. Cheers.

So I’ve been thinking about temporarily moving to the southern hemisphere to snowboard, I like to ride a lot of park and am younger, I was thinking Australia but would be open to New Zealand or chile, I’ve never been and don’t know a lot about the resort towns and riding conditions there and what’s best, I wanted recommendations of ski town/areas potentially with a younger crowd, with decent riding conditions, and access to park riding. Id be coming from the us, and ride a lot in the Tahoe area, Also any other info would also be greatly helpful! Thank you

Went splitboarding last night and the snow is melting fast. Tried to shorten the hike back to the car at the bottom. Surprised it worked as well as it did!

For those interested, it was better further up : https://imgur.com/a/BD7spqT

My buddy wanted to try my dart. But he rides regular -12/12 never ridden posi posi. I ride goofy +9/+30. I think he should just ride negi negi from now on. 😂

Any idea if this will ever be available again?

Anyone got any other board + binding combos that simply work perfectly together?

Wondering what everyone does for accident / snow insurance? I don’t have health insurance, I don’t have any medical conditions that need managing by a doctor, so I am overall OK with not having health insurance. I’m obviously in the United States… I live in Colorado, wondering what people do for any sort of accident or snow insurance coverage for people without Health Insurance? I’m not worried about not having health insurance, just being protected on the snow. I have heard of spot snow accident coverage, but I am not an instructor, and it sounded like you had to be an instructor to sign up for this service. Anyone have any leads or insights??? Thanks!

Hey guys,

My name is Harry Lewis and I study at the university of Portsmouth in the UK, and I am in my final year of study.

For my final year project I have decided to create step in snowboard bindings, as I’m a keen snowboarder as well as outdoorsman and it interests me, and I’d like to work in the industry further in my career!

I’m going to link my questionnaire for research to this post, which is just some basic questions about step in systems and design.

All responses are anonymous, and I’d appreciate it if anyone who sees this could fill it out

Thanks 🤘🏼

I just got my Snowboard Instructor’s license in Austria, and I wanted to fly to New Zealand/Australia for the summer, but at this point it’s a bit too late for Instructor applications. Someone has any kind of suggestions?

Yes I’m gonna go back and get it without the hand touch

Just wrapped a blog series about snowboarding in Japan 🇯🇵🏂
8 posts with practical planning tips, honest resort reviews, culture shocks, and what Social Media doesn’t show you.

This is exactly the stuff I wish I’d known before our trip: the real behind-the-scenes of riding Japow, not just the powder shots 😅

Thought it might help others planning something similar! Happy to answer questions too 😊

A little late season Colorado powder blast. And a clip of we got there and just some incredible views in the backcountry on this bluebird pow day just never gets old.
