I’m an intermediate rider that mostly rides groomers and a decent amount of side hits and some park not much pow where I board I just want to know if my overhang is ok or too much

Our current bibs and snow pants do not have enough room for impact shorts! While wearing impact shorts, they are simply too tight and do not have enough room for movement. I need help with finding:

1. Adult bibs with room for impact shorts
2. Kids snow pants with room for impact shorts

Please share bib and snow pants models that work well impact shorts. Thank you!!

I’ve been learning to snowboard for the last 5 months, with around 12 days on the snow so far. I’m really enjoying it and definitely planning to keep going, so I figured it made sense to invest in my own setup instead of continuing to rent gear. I live in Amsterdam, so luckily I can keep practicing indoors during the summer at SnowWorld.

This is what I went with:

Capita Indoor Survival 156
Union Force Classic, size L
Ride Lasso, size 44.5 EU / 11 US

For reference, I’m 183 cm (about 6'0") and 79 kg (174 lbs).

I’m curious what more experienced riders think about the sizing, especially the 156 board with my height/weight and boot size.

I’m not really interested in bombing down the mountain or going super fast. I prefer a more playful all-mountain style: medium-speed carving, lots of little direction changes, side hits, small jumps, and I’m planning to start learning butters and more freestyle stuff as I improve.

Any advice about the setup and sizing is appreciated!

Bought these plus the epic pass and another cheap season pass for local mountain with night skiing. Gonna save some money before buying the rest of the set up. I’ve only had random cheap items off offer up before this season so im hyped to try quality gear. First time with step ons. I’m really good with board control and going fast, I can get about 5 vertical and 10 horizontal feet on a jump and grind rails (can’t spin or ride them sideways yet). Still gonna buy a new helmet, goggles, pants and jacket but im waiting on whichever board I pick out first so I can match the colors and have a stand out look on the mountain

I remade my first setup and are looking for opinions and any tips

Dude is convincing me it's not for Motocross even tho Google lens and any AI search says otherwise... I bought without even checking as a bundle with some other gear. It didn't seem like the ones I used to have for snowboarding.

Hello!

Is this Burton Process + Step On setup worth buying used?

I’m considering buying this Burton Process Camber 157 with Burton Step On Re:Flex bindings in size M.

The seller says the board has only been ridden for about 6–7 days, and the bindings have only been used once. He’s asking around roughly $300–330 USD for the board and bindings together.

I’ve attached pictures of the base. There are a few scratches, including one that looks a bit deeper near the panda graphic.

Does the base look okay to you guys? Would you be concerned about any of these scratches, and do you think this is a good deal at that price?

I’ll be inspecting the board in person before paying.

300$ obo

Excluding boots because I refuse to buy those online.

I might not get the jacket and pants due to price, and I kind of like the lightweight wear. Something like the second image I added!

Anyone have any opinions on this? I’m mostly an all mountain rider who plans to get into park, I’d say I’m an intermediate rider.

Hi everyone! I started snowboarding last year and got about 10 days on the mountain. I’m looking to buy my own gear this season and came across this used Forum Recon snowboard.
Does anyone know what year this board is from, and whether it would be a good option for a beginner? I’m not planning to ride park, mostly just regular downhill/groomed runs.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hello! I’m new to snowboarding (I’ve never snowboard stood on a snowboard before). I want to buy my first snowboard for the upcoming season. I’m 5’2 105 lbs and I was wondering which size would be better for me, 139 cm or 143 cm? Also if you have more recommendations feel free to share them!

Retail price $900
Brand new, it’s too big for me and I never got the chance to ride it yet, need gone

Hey everyone, I’m looking for my first snowboard and I saw this, I love the color, no graphics.
Is this a good deal??
Thanks in advance!!

(I know this is not a good beginner friendly snowboard, but I love the minimalism )
