Burton Custom V-Rocker Snowboard - 09/10

September 8, 2009

This board will be fine for a beginner. The reason the Custom isn't considered a 'beginners' board is it is a bit stiffer, but not so much that the rider if dedicated couldn't handle it. It's also a bit more expensive due to better materials & tech. Beginner boards test to be less expensive for the inverse reason. All it means is if you get this for a beginner it's more of a commitment than say a Burton Blunt.

Love these goggles. I am planning on replacing my other Oakley's with these next season. I have the flight pattern/orange pair, which are super cool looking.
As has been mentioned, the range of vision is superb. You feel like you're wearing a fishbowl it's so complete. This for a snowboarder, is perfect since we're going sideways.
The only thing that holds them back from the full 5 stars, is there is a small amount of visual distortion which I didn't have in either my A-Frames or Crowbars. This doesn't impede riding at all, it certainly isn't so bad that your depth perception is altered, but you will notice it from time to time.

Great rack, simple to use, easy to install. I use it at least once every week, and I'm exceedingly happy with it.
Only word of warning is if you have the Aero bars, you'll need an adapter, so make sure you have everything before you make any plans. This was a little bit of a headache for me.

DAKINE Cobra Glove - Men's

February 4, 2009

I can't yet recommend these, but I had 2 pairs of Bronco's and they both ripped the same place: right index finger. Hopefully these are stronger.

Followup: They're crap too. Get something esle.

I had 2 pairs of these gloves, neither lasted more than a month. I bought one from here, and another from Dakine themselves. They both ripped in the exact same place: my right index finger. Now I ride regular, so I'm using that had more to work the bindings, but that shouldn't matter. To contrast this, I've been wearing Burton AK Guide Gloves for 2 seasons now, and they look pristine. Fortunately the Broncos were just my backups.
Dakine replaced these with a set of Cobras, hopefully they're better.

These are my second pair of zero's. I had a pair of the last version, and based on my love of those I bought these sight unseen.
Overall, I like the glasses very much. They have almost no weight at all. The nose piece and ear pieces hold on very well no matter how much sweat comes off your head. The lenses are Oakley clear, no distortion at all.
The only issue I have is the arms are rather thick, which is fine for style, but can impede peripheral vision a bit.

Best Glove Ever...

Burton AK Guide Glove - Men's

Burton AK Guide Glove - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 July 6, 2007

I've been skiing/snowboarding for 20 years, I've had a lot of gloves and mittens. For my money this is as good as it gets. Very warm, completely water proof, and super comfortable. When your first get the gloves they may feel a bit small, but this is a feature, they will eventually stretch to the exact size of your hand.
I rode 40+ days last season and I wore these almost every one of those days. I rode powder, crud, groomers...everything.
Buy these gloves, you won't be disappointed.
