From left to right:
Friend's old Ride Aent 157
My Jones Hovercraft 156
My stepchild Chi-Borg 155
My Bilt #2 155 (home built)
Missus' Nidecker Princess 151 iirc
Friend's Gnu.

Also got my first home built board Bilt#1 which is on the wall in the workshop and I made an old school, full timber fishtail powder board earlier this year which we had everyone sign at our wedding - still waiting for my splitboard to come.

I'm on my second pair of Northwaves and I love them, comfiest boots I've ever owned, never get cold or a job feet in them. I've super feet insoles in them as well which made a world of difference.

I'm in the market for a new board too, want something a little softer than my current one but that still has some pop. I've got a 2012/13 Ride Machete GT which is amazing, done 13 weeks on it now but finding it a bit stiffer than I'd like now. REALLY want a 2014 Ride Buckwild 'cos the graphic is so awesome! But that might be a little soft, I tried a 2016 Ride Burnout for a day in January and that was too soft. I hired a 2016 standard Machete for a day and that seemed much better. I'm scouring ebay all the time at the moment on the hunt for some new gear. Got Canada in December so really wanted to have it sorted for then. I don't go in the park, hit as much off piste as I possibly can and always looking for small lips and hits on/off the side of the pistes.

I had some old 2005 Burton Freestyle bindings but changed them 2season ago for some K2 Cinch CTX. Never got on with the quick release high backs so just ratchet up like normal bindings all the time. Because of this system and the way the binding's constructed they are very, very loose so also in the market for new bindings!

Boots are some 2012 Vans Hi Life I think theyre called, but got some Northwave Legend SL being delivered today cos after 13weeks abuse, theyre worn out and I get obscene amounts of heel lift. By about midday my foot/ankle is flapping about inside the boot which is a bit disconcerting when your sticking in a few higher speed turns late into the afternoon - can almost feel my ankle's going to snap if I get something wrong! So yeah, out with the old, in with the new just in time for St Anton Saturday next week :D

For powder I have a K2 dream. Think they call it a turbo dream now.

Free riding. I have a button custom. Love this board and can go anywhere.

Bindings I used to have flow bindings for years. Really comfy but not as responsive. Then bought some cap strap bindings. Had K2 ones, Rome ones but never got on with them. Then I tried a set of Volk ones. They are really comfy. For about £230 they are really good but the chewer ones seem good. I just wanted the full metal ones.

I actually lolled Jim :lol:

Graeme, normal riding and a bit of powder, no park really yet but maybe soon.

I'd just like something a bit newer really, mine is a 2013 Nitro Haze and I'm using 3rd hand Burton Freestyle bindings which are getting a little worse for wear.

I've got this board http://www.outsideonline.com/1949621/ride-berzerker-snowboard

Quite old now I guess but I love it, I've got a set of Rome sds Arsenal bindings which seem decent for the money.
