I need help picking out a set up..I only ride like 1-2 weeks of the year but wanna save some money and grab a board for myself..instead of renting something worth less than I paid to rent it for a week..

i was thinking something like this would be good for how often i ride

By any means possible DO NOT pick up a capita from last year. They had a lot of problems with there boards and had a major recall.

I just picked up a new Lib Tech T-Rice BTX, am excited to try it out soon

If you are looking for a used board, I've got a Burton Custom 158 that has been used pretty good... got a lot of scratches on the top sheet, and one kink in the nose that you might want to sand down a little bit, but the base is in great shape it it is a good board that I'm looking to get rid of for a decent price

im an average rider and love my Burton Twin. Its a mid-wide and rides well at high speeds, it kinda chatters when you go too fast if your makin a nice big carve but thats not what its made for. Its really fun in the park cus its big. I can't wait for my snowboard trip this year.

OH ive really enjoyed my P1 Burton Bindings. esp that toe cap!

Union bindings are definitely awesome. I have the Airblaster edition ones and love em.

make sure to get a true twin so you can get down in the park and drop some Smash

BenBuser, ya dude union bindings are so sick!

i've got two pairs of them. my bro has the airblaster ones too, i think those are my favorite bindings they've made so far.

oh one more piece of advice, never get Ride bindings. they = junk.

senorbueno, i'm too jealous.

i just picked up some of last years MFM pro bindings for $88 off of whiskey militia. STOKED

what about Technine boards or bindings? they seem to always have stuff pop up on whiskeymilitia.com and if they make quality gear i wouldnt mind picking some up for real cheap

bmosing, they make pretty good boards/bindings

my friend has had the same pair of technine bindings for like 5 years and finally got new ones this year. oh and he rode at least once a week too, so pretty solid bindings

BenBuser, Ha I have the airblaster ones to.

bmosing, techine boards look pretty good but i dont like their bindings they feel to stiff but some people like them alot.
