Snowboard Sunglasses
Jul/110
I'm just starting 2 Snowboard and i don't know squat about it please help?
ok what do i need to buy and what are the good brands and what brands are good but cheap i also need to know if its better to wear goggles or just sunglasses thanks alot
FIRST! if youve never gone before i suggest renting.. you dont want to buy expensive stuff if you end up not being into the sport. and second if youve never gone before you dont know they style of riding you enjoy..
board styles..
freeride board - for cruising down the mountain
freestyle board - for park..jumps..rails..boxes..etc
all mountain board - does well all around the mountain (park included)
if you already know your style.........
first of all when sizing your board.. dont listen to the between the chin and the nose thing. just a rule of thumb that doesnt work for all people...
look at it like this... two people. both 5'7" (nose is in exactly the same place) one is 115 pounds and the other is 200 pounds. they will obviously not ride the same board. go to http://www.frostyrider.com/tips/size-guide.htm and put in all of your info and it will give you an appropriate size range and also some suggestions if you plan on buying.
you need boots and bindings as well
boots depend on the fit. some fit better on narrower feet for example. it would be best to not buy those online if you dont have to (try on in your local shop)
they also depend on style. freeride (stiff boots), freestyle (flexi boots), all mountain (in the middle). mine said all mountain right on the box....
bindings also depend on style and size of boot
-they come in sizes like Small Medium large with Boot Size ranges that would work best
definitly goggles over sunglasses.. more protection from wind and boarders that wear sunglasses just look..odd
outerwear - PANTS good ones that keep the moisture from your butt lol especially if youre just starting out you will be on your rear a lot
...jacket gloves hat gator(scarf) long socks(you can buy 'snowboarding socks')
burton makes great outerwear as well as columbia. i wear both and they are fantastic..
by the way.. i took one lesson and the instructor had no clue how to teach..so i ended up teaching myself and getting some pointers from a friend... so i couldnt rely on my resort to teach me but i would suggest tryin a lesson.. they may be really beneficial where you live.
well that should be enough to get you started...
good luck buying your board!!! (if you are)
and have funnnn riding!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you'll love it! its the best sport
and p.s.
when you go to your local shop and talk to the professionals they can answer all of the questions you have.. and i know you probably have A LOT since you dont know about the sport.. that would be your best bet but i tried to give you a slight idea of the basics....
again good luck and i hope i helped you out a little
EDIT: forgot to include some brands!
boards: nitro, rome, ride, burton, capita, gnu, libtech, and more but i cant remember all of them lol (im in the process of gettin a new one)
bindings: ride, burton, salomon, (most good board comps have nice bindings) (i have salomon and i like em)
boots: thirty-two, burton, salomon (i have salomon and i like)
goggles: spy optics, oakley, anon optics, scott
outerwear: burton, columbia
