2011: "what does everybody plan on riding..."

too early?

Im getting a Bataleon Evil Twin as soon as they are released for my usual board. Have been wanting one for a long time now am going to finally cross over to the TBT side! Im also thinking im going to get a stairmaster as a rail board as they are great value and being so cheap i wont mind roughing it up a bit.

Like you spenser i was thinking about the Nike boots as from what i hear they are a good boot. Im still jumping between boot brands trying to find one i really like. No such luck yet!

I think I'm gonna pick up a Ride OMG and possibly some Flux GU30's or something similar ... I was pretty stoked on both of those.

I would really like a puffy... I was originally looking at this jkt

any suggestions for sick wmns puffy???

Looking to get the 2011 Rome 390 Boss bindings.

The asymmetrical highbacks and Vrod baseplates add some new technology to an already killer binding .

I'll probably snag a puffy of some sort for an everyday jacket and I MIGHT look into a slightly stiffer boot/binding combo like CO2s/vans wiig.

Originally posted by xyian I just got my Indoor Survival FK 160 in the Sierra wrapping yesterday. That's going to be my board for next season. I really like the flex that the board has. I think it's going to be just fine. Maybe I'll pick up some Unions, but I'm pretty happy with my FrankenSalomons that I've been using for 5 years now. I like them so much that I hate the CO2's that I bought a while back.

Kind of nice to see I wasn't the only one stoked of my mind on CO2s.  I've owned a couple pairs expecting/hoping to love them and been underwhelmed.

I'm pretty set with my quiver as is right now, an SL for days out west and up north, a Sierrascope for screwing around / everyday in the local bunny hills.

Buuut if I could find the right price, I could be swayed on a YES GDOH or a Capita BSOD in a 160-ish.

As far as bindings, the 390 Boss has my interest piqued, but I will probably stay with the 09 Forces and the 10 Contact SLs I picked up from Sierra.

Boots, my Forum Verdicts are holding up strong and are a perfect flex for me, so no issues there.

Yea.  For me, I dug them from a performance standpoint, but I wasn't blown away as I'd hoped given the tech and the pricepoint.  The bigger issue was that they gave me some wicked foot pain.  I almost always get some pain over my inner navicular over my lead foot regardless of the binding, but stiffer Burtons seem to make it flare up way worse when it's there.  Burton has some new straps that came out this past year (the cored out one on the higher end EST binders and the assymetrical park one), so I might give them another shot in coming years, but we'll see.

i'm going with the CAPiTA SMF with some ride banditas.   i got really into park riding this year and i'm looking for a noodle to complement my riding. 

I'm not super stoked on anything at the moment.  Will probably stick with the Sscope and Pusher as my regular boards.  I am likely to be doing a Thursday night race team next season (4 person teams with ski/board mix), so if I do I will pick up a stiff tapered board for that.  Otherwise, no real plans as of yet!

If the initial reviews come back as positive --- Jones mountain twin for sure.

Union is coming out with discs that will mount properly with new 2011 Burton Channel hardware. All Union bindings should work with the disc and will be able to mount to all Burton ICS boards. From what I can gather, the new 2011 hardware for the channel will only work with new EST bindings but can still be mounted on pre-2011 boards so that you can use new bindings on old boards.

I don't think the channel itself is changing, just the hardware. From their normal catalog, Burton has listed only three women's est bindings for 2011: Escapade EST, Lexa EST, and Scribe EST. I'd definitely take a look at a pair of Union bindings.

Originally posted by taiguy so burton seriously just made everyone buy new bindings to work with their ICS boards. now they're totally making people buy new bindings again for an updated channel. wow.

I'd definitely take a look at a pair of Union bindings. channel is a little wider.  hardware is flipped (male end is on top now) and its flatter.  also just different all around. you wont be able to use old channel hardware on the new channel, but theres some crossover where it still works.. i forget.  i dont have the hardgoods catalog with me so i dont remember 100% right now.

Ahh, you're right. Missed that part on the hardgoods catalog. There is a transition kit for pre-2011 bindings to work on 2011 boards. Straight from the catalog: "The kit includes two retro discs for compatibility with Burton disc bindings, as well as a full set of the M6 Transition hardware for compatibility with both Burton disc and EST bindings."

Wonder if old hardware works with new bindings on old boards... God, this is seriously confusing.

im getting an early release 2012 capita indoor masterscope fk

Rossignol Magtek.  I got a buddy who's sponsored by them.  This board with have the magnatraction, serated edge, as well as the amptek reverse camber (but not totally, reg. or neutral camber between bindings and reverse camber beyond).  Suposed to be an amazing ride! 

Originally posted by xxsweet_jen24xx I am going to be rocking my 2010 Capita SMF FK 149 and my 2010 Capita Sierrascope 152 with my 2010 Union Force bindings again next year. I am absolutely head over heals in love with both boards, so there is really no reason to buy anything else.   As for my boots, I am going to pick up another pair of women's ThirtyTwo Lashed exactly like the ones I already have. They are the best boots I have ever owned, I love them to no end. The only reason I need a new pair is because my Capita Death Edges have sort of destroyed the top of my left boot to the point that a couple of the eyelets for the laces are almost completely shredded. Gonna have to stop resting my board on my foot, or get some lace protectors or something to keep that from happening to the new pair.

Here's a 2011 Airblaster Women's Puffy

HMmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!! thank you faceplant! hihi. Got anymore 2011 airblaster diddies?

This isn't in English, but it has everything, including women's.  Just click on the pics to enlarge them.

im a fan of the parker pieces

I plan on sticking with the 2010 horrorscope, couldn't ask for a more fun stick

Beat me to it this year spenser, that thread that is...jk

I plan on being on a NS SL or Heritage, 2011 of course, for my all mountain everything board. More likely than not, picking up some new Unions, I'm really digging the Blue and Yellow Forces.   Might get both and do a mix and match of them and have 3 sets of Unions, those and my current Data Team/Green Force mix up that my buddy has the other half of.

I NEED to get a "jib" board.  If not, I'll be using my 2007 Burton Jussi 154 or my 2009 Never Summer Evo-R 151.  Thinking about getting rid of my current Evo and getting a newer one that's a 153 as my pure jibber/park board. Might get something without camber though for a more loose, playful ride like a Horrorscope.

Then I should probably get a new pow board.  Something with rocker, maybe a Charlie.  And just use my current 2007 Custom 162 for HARD CHARGING fun.  I'm thinking like maybe a NS Raptor or Premier or something along those lines... or that Charlie

I've been super stoked on Never Summer's Rocker & Camber thus far.  I should really work on trying some other stuff though, maybe k2 or something like that. I like NS's because it's gots both Camber and Rocker.  I could try a Yes board.
More likely than not, it won't be a Burton I get next year because they've run their course for me.  Always stoked on my Jussi, and my Custom is pretty fun, but I'm just not too stoked on their new stuff any more.  I do like Burton bindings still though.

I am in desperate need of new boots next year because I've got about 80 days on my Ions right now and plan on at least another 20 on 'em.  100 days on a pair of boots...I think they've served me purty darn well.  I should get into the shop and try some new stuff on before season is out.
