YAO, what is happening my Vermont snowboarding pals? Getting psyched for a killer shred season? I definitely am. So speaking of schrelpin the pow, what do you hope to accomplish this year when it comes to tricks? What steezy grab, spin, flip, or grind do you hope to add to your trick arsenal this winter?

I'm hoping to start getting down on a tail grab 540, and I want it to look smooooove.  more

I'm thinking about going to a snowboard camp this year, or maybe next. Has anybody ever been to one? Should I go to Camp of Champions or Mt Hood? Or any other camps anyone has been to that has really improved their skill set or that was the bomb?

Hey all! I was wondering if anybody knew of some decent websites to check out to find good deals on gear? I've tried Google and other search engines, but you get back so many replies and I don't know which websites are genuine or which are junk. Any help would be outstanding. Thanks, you guys rock!

I just looked at the K2 Cinch bindings last night. They've got that weird hinge so the whole body of the binding moves. Anyone tried it? What's the advantage supposed to be? I looked on their website and it's full of typical market-speak about how great it is, without ever saying what it's good for.
