ippy 66 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Im busy teaching classes yo! 28/week innit. What you just had was my one and only gap class in the whole week. The rest of the week its 5 minute breaks or a lunch time spent in saizeria. And yes, that was a very accurate translation. Well, to some extent. Its not you SHOULD, its that you will invariably buy more boards the longer you ride. Its annoying. We all do it and we all hate doing it. And its especially true those first 3-5 years where the stoke is super high. After that you kinda settle into your boards a bit. Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 you got bindings to go with that? Do you ride goofy? Not Included in the deal.......I do have an extra set of bindings but I don't think I will let them go..........They are Burton Cartel's, they are my backup bindings. Perhap an offer would make me think twice though...... Link to post Share on other sites
Alexander L 80 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I think OP would be after bindings too. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 yeah they said they were.......but I'm only really interested in selling the board as the bindings are also hardly used and in tip top condition. Link to post Share on other sites
Mick Rich 78 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 In an underhand if not desperate attempt to muscle in on TB's deal and lose Mr Wiggles his hard-earned commission, I happen to know where there's a Goodwood-award-winning, 155 Ride Machete with Salomon Arcade bindings going for a good price! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted November 15, 2013 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted November 15, 2013 There's no "classifieds" on here, of course. バット！ I don't mind long time members and friends mentioning stuff in passing, like has been done in this thread. As long as the posts are crypticly amusing. And you don't say "BOOK NOW!". Not in capitals anyway. Link to post Share on other sites

Alexander L 80 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Any pics? My mate is looking to get his first board. I tried to get him on skis, but his arms are really long. Link to post Share on other sites
js1891 0 Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 I didn't realise I had any replies on this thread and thought nobody cared about me! but I was wrong. Thanks everyone for your help, you guys rock! What I ended up doing in the absence of your advice (ok so really it was ignorance or blindness because the advice was here all along) was buying a factory second from the US and having it delivered to my address in Niseko. It's a Burton Process (162), yeop completely and utterly mainstream, I know. But I have no experience and haven't tried anything myself so went with a general crowd pleaser, for a first board I think it will be great. I love it already and we haven't even met. With regards to boots, I got super dooper lucky beyond my wildest dreams and a friend of a friend from my small home town had a pair of barely used Burton rulers that fit me like a glove. For bindings I ordered second hand contact pros (2011-2012) from over east and now all I have remaining to do is get a converter plate so they fit my channel board. I know this isn't ideal but at my level I don't think I'll notice the performance retardation by the introduction of the converter. So no Sapporo stop for me! straight to the snow! Thanks again everyone for your help, I'll try to get off the Burton trail because I know there is a lot more out there. Hope to see you all on the slopes! Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Don't worry about being seen as "square" for going with Burton, they make damn good stuff. Congrats on getting set up ???? Link to post Share on other sites
