What company do you prefer to ride with?

[boarder94]

what company or companies do you think has "better" technology, designs, reputation or just a great over all feel?

[burnpianoxisland]

My top 5:
1. Lib Tech
2. Gnu
3. Capita
4. Rome
5. Burton

[LoserGuy]

Illuminati has always been my fave. They aren't as big as some, but that is appealing to me as well. I think they just get down to boarding more than some.

[boarderclipse]

Here is my top five
1)Option
2)Sessions
3)NFA
4)686
5)Drake/northwave/bakoda

[tarvis]

as far as boards lib tech and old forums before the slidding holes, buton bindings, northwave and 32 boots, alll bonfire clothes lol, and grenade gloves cuz theyre sooo damn gangsta, oacley goggles, and a rei beanie aww yeah.

[Ry]

1. Sessions
2. Burton
3. Rome

[Xixist]

I have riden a lot of burton boards but after the poor duribility of my last one I dont know if I will get another one. Thinking of trying a ride which I love or a forum next any segestions would be greatly appreicieated

[theawsomejannlikesflawn]

[SnoChica]

Thinking of trying a ride which I love or a forum next any segestions would be greatly appreicieatedRome boards kick ass. And I'm hooked on Ride Bindings. I have a pair of Salomon Antidotes and they're just OK.

Some of the Ride boards have some sick graphics though.

[shwoop22]

Its all about Option boards and Burton boots and bindings! The Shawn Whites are so comfortable.

[nideckerrider]

as far as boards my nidecker treats me good..especially in pipe...as far as more park im loving my jeenyus..it takes a lil while to get use to like a day or so because its softer than other boards but just sick on rails and easy to spin and just super buttery...bindings i pick agency they're comfortable as all hell...clothes im always wearing planet earth or oneill

[redace24]

I'm a big fan of Ride equipment. The most comfortable boot i've tried was a pair of Salomons. Burton has decent stuff also.

[hdizzle]

Rome
Gnu
Academy
M3
Technine
Burton (bindings only, my 04/05 burton uninc was a POS, cracked topsheet on nose and tail in less than 45 days, and no i'm not a fat ass.)

[//\\//\\att]

i have some older burton freestyles boots and they are super comfy. I ride with helly hansen jacket and pants and they have lasted 2 seasons of pretty heavy use and 2 seasons of medium to light use.

I might save up this summer and get new gear when i get a new board so i can match, i'm a freak like that, my gear has to match!

[Bluntslide_pro]

For me its not so much Company as it is quality. I would ride a liquid snowboard if they made good boards. if I had to choose a company Burton all the way. DC for boots, and Either SB, Sessions, or Planet Earth for outerware.

[boardingbum]

board-lib tech, gnu, and m3 i think are the best boards i have ever used.

bindings-drake Mikey LeBlanc

boots-burton im shure there alot better boots but its all i have used

[Grill]

[optionNFAripper]

[RideTheory]

Im hooked on Ride for boards and Bindings...im in the market for new boots this year.. thinking about the DC BOA systems??.....and i have a friend sponcered by Oakley for his outer wear so i pretty much get that **** for free...man a sponcership is were it is at...free ****!!!!!

[TheAbomidableSnowman]

GNU Boards and Forum Boots, GNU Bindings. That's at top of the list, other than that, i would go with a Burton or Libtech Board. Maybe LTD Bindings. Dakine Gloves-Scout. Oakley Goggles.

[playinthagame]

board: burton
boots: northwave
bindings: drake, and ride
outerwear: sb, volcom, mission6, 686, foursquare

[SimonInAustralia]

burton
rome
nitro
academy
illuminati

[electricmisfit]

Forum = Jeenyus - great decks!!
Gnu/ long lasting but get beat-up quickly..
M3- stong but stiff decks
Lamar- ok decks but crap designs
i want to try out Rome, Nitro, Dinosaurs Will Die.
Capita has ****ty craftsmanship but great designs

Burton has great bindings
Technine nice binding, great designs, but you have to upgrade toecaps
Flow- fit great but look stupid
i want to try out Union bindings, new Drakes w/ toecaps, Capita Cory Smith bindings
a "standard" binding w/ toecap makes me happy!!

[live 2 ride]

I think DC makes really good boots. there so comfortable and there really warm. when i go i just wear regular socks and im perfectly fine.

yeah they do make great boots!! i've had mine for a couple years now but, last year i was going to pick up the Shawn White pro-model boot but i didn't end up have enough cash )= haha

[Er to the In]

boards- capita, non pro model forum, nitro, atomic
bindings- burton,drake
boots- i've only bought boots from one company (every single pair) so i don't have a great opinion on this, but i dislike mine now because of the size.
outerwear- analog, volcom, sessions, 686, bonfire.
goggles- oakley a-frames, or anons
gloves(pipe and park)- burton, analog

[YOU WISH]

BURTON
Live To Ride

[addctsnw]

Illuminati has always been my fave. They aren't as big as some, but that is appealing to me as well. I think they just get down to boarding more than some.

i agree...i tried an illuminati last season...it rode almost as well as my burton did..and the damn bored survived a fatal fall of the ski rack onto interstate 91 south coming back from vt...so props to that poor board...plus the company kicks ass and is so into what real riding is about...wicked good ****

Bataleon Snowboards

[SimonInAustralia]

...good company!

[kelly]

...good company!
I thought you liked sheep?

[SimonInAustralia]

I thought you liked sheep?No that's back at the 'lodge'!

[SimonInAustralia]

Sheep can be good company!

[kelly]

oh, I guess I took "ride" the wrong way...

[skate323k137]

gnu and lib technologies, both of which are part of mervin manufacturing. I used to work at a shop, and their boards always amazed me with the materials, technology, and incredible construction. they just seemed to truly stand out from other boards at least in my opinion.

[thedude]

i dont' really "support" one company over another, but curretly i got Burton Missions bindings, Forum Devum Walsh boots, Capita Totally Awsome 157, Burton Tactic cargo pants, a hooded work jacket, Dakine gloves, and then othe rmiscilaniouse stuff

[Way2Crazy77]

Bataleon snowboards - hands down

I was uneasy about riding Bataleon, at first, because their base has unique shape and technology, so I bought a different board, rode it twice, and never touched it again. So far, everyone I know who has riddden a Bataleon has loved it, and most of them say it is the best board that they have had in their life. I owned a Gnu for 5 years, but I will be riding tripple base technology (Bataleon) for a long time. The only thing that sucks, is that they are REALLY hard to find right now. Bataloen.com is your best bet.

At least go to their web site, and check the graphics.

I think this is what yoe mean for the link http://www.bataleon.com/ slight typo and I was lost. Then again, I'm an idiot!

They have some kick ass graphics. As for the triple base tech... Very interesting! I'd liek to demo a board like that and see how it feels.

[kelly]

Yeah, that would be interesting... how different does it feel?

Anywhere from 25-70. They normally range around 40-50.

[Burtonboarder00]

Burton by far has the biggest reputation of all

Yo, check out skatensnow.com for all kinds of grenade stuff.

[ride_burton_pcmr]

or you can check out grenadegloves.com and look at their online dealers and ish. I just bought a pair of hot garbages. I also decided we should get together and develop Star Trek like transporters, so that we don't have to wait for things to arrive in the mail, cause that can take an eternity when you're dying to get something....anywhoo....

[BURTON ryder]

i think burton has the best technology becaause they got the VApor whiis really light

[ride_burton_pcmr]

yeah that vapor is sick. I prefer something a little heavier though, I like to feel it in the air. Burton definitely spends a ton of time on their R and D which is good.

[emojo123]

I like to ride your girlfriend.

[SimonInAustralia]

I like to ride your girlfriend....you ride your mother?...That's a little weird!

[BURTON ryder]

I ride a Bataleon The Hero 157cm snowboard. 3 words.....Triple Base Technology. bitches.

[ericb]

man quit bein such a busta' foo! anyways, bataleon is such a sick company. w00t w00t.

[IRideASnowboard154]

burton has the biggest rep, but more than half is bad rep.

even though i did ride the jeremy jones today and i loved it.

[BURTON ryder]

wats burtons bad rep
i thought they were all good

[ericb]

i think that burton is becoming way too mainstream. that's just my opinion though

[nikkisixxsburton]

burton is a sick company even though they do have a half bad rep like Irideasnowboard154 said and i don't care ive liked everything ive gotten from that company so and those burton haters out there suck on my ****

[IRideASnowboard154]

The past years models snap easily, I heard the 2006 ones snap kinda easily too.

Even though I do like the new Jeremy Jones board.

[BURTON ryder]

i like my boards. from them. they seem to make a decent board

[IRideASnowboard154]

psh my punch 148's about to snap.
Im seriously considering buying some kids jeremy jones 151 for 300$...

[BURTON ryder]

thats an awesome board. i was goi n to get the powers but i got the custom instead.

[ride_burton_pcmr]

burton has the biggest rep, but more than half is bad rep.

even though i did ride the jeremy jones today and i loved it.

yeah i just bought a jeremy jones 156 and i like it. i'm quite impressed.

[BURTON ryder]

sweet. what does it ride like. a custom???

[IRideASnowboard154]

a burton jeremy jones. DUH.
not all boards ride like another board.
I might pick myself up a 151.
