as all the new boards, outerwear, bindings, boot, etc. start to roll out for 11/12, its time to start asking the age old question...what gear are you pickin up for the upcoming season? discuss questions, ideas, opinions, etc. on stuff you need/want in this thread!
i'll start. two main priorities im hoping to purchase before opening day:
1.) new park board to compliment the trs. currently leaning heavily towards a ns evo but there are a few other options im still considering.
2.) new boots. pretty much the only burton gear i own are my 09(?) burton hails, and i have absolutely destroyed them, packed them out, shredded the laces, etc. i NEED a new pair. i will say, im generally not a big fan of a lot of burton products, but the hails were a good softer boot that lasted me a long while without too many complaints. interested in trying on some of the nike offerings when i get a chance to see how i feel about those.

well i was looking at the youngblood but after reading reviews i decided on the destroyer. It's only 20$ more for more than 20$ worth of board plus the graphics are way more toned down compared to the youngblood. Did take a look at DC boards but after talking to one of the park peeps at App said if you do anything other than jib the DC isn't very good, so we shall see if forum's gear is worth the price.

softer flex twin tip rocker board figured it would suit my fun on the mountain and transition to the park better than my ride board. Yeah with burton owning forum the tech hand downs are a big plus for forum and I can be pretty sure my bindings are gonna match up with the forum.
