I bought clickers and had no idea what to expect as I'm a noob to the sport. I thought they were just what everyone used but so far I've seen no one else with them. No complaints about them, but my boots are old as shit apparently and the straps broke off. Thinking about just getting conventional bindings and not having broken gear

Should I buy new snowboard from mid-priced brand like Termit or better to buy used one but from Burton?

Used is just fine as long as it's not beat to shit

But what would be main advantage if we compare basic options, like no step ons and stuff like that and for someone who is still learning to snowboard?

I'm just thinking maybe better to buy a cheap one for now and later on, in a year or two buy a good board

Personally I think step ons suck ass. They're a bitch and a half to get back into if you crash anywhere but flat ground. Plus I just dont trust them.

what's the best resort in Europe for absolute beginners? been wanting to try snowboarding for years

I went from being a heel side hero to a toe side hero. But at least I had the balls to go straight a bit too. I need to intentionally practice turns next time. Whenever I try it I devolve into spinning heel toe heel toe until I get dizzy

I’ve got a $50 2017 Burton clash. I crash. I suck. But I’m learning and yeah it’s kinda fucked up but that means I don’t worry about it. Same with boots.

I want to buy pic related. Anyone use them? I'm in Ohio, and our ski resorts are basically hard icey with a thin layer of snow. Felt like I was falling on slightly softer concrete.

Take it easy and stay upright by any means necessary, those pads aren't going to save you. You also probably should have gotten comfortable on the rental before going to a whole different setup. Rental boards are typically very flexy and forgiving for the n00bs, stiffer boards like the DOA much less so.

I assumed it would be smarter to buy my own gear ASAP so I could learn faster via a consistent setup.

My friend taught me how to carve to slow down though, which will help me. I was riding flat and going really fast down hills and crashing at the bottom. Basically, I was riding like a fucking dumbass.

So moving forward, I will fall much less, or at least my falls will be less gnarly.

Well you have the board now so might as well learn on it and you have a buddy to help you which is even better, shred on anon.
