yeah they protect the melon. I wear one ever since my friend, who was a very good skier/boarder was killed. Had he been wearing a helmet he probably would have lived.

That's cool it's accepted. I was guessing snowboarders would think you were lame for wearing one.

A lot of 'hip' snowboarders do...but I'll be the one laughing when they smash their head on a tree and paralyse themselves...well...not really laughing...but who cares what other people think?
- tkmeister0

thanks dude - I have little bud earphones that I like to use cos I can still hear myself in teh snow...which I like!

I've never snowboarded before but would really like to so I thought I might feel a bit self conscious anyway the first time. I've skated for 18 years so hopefully that would help a bit.

the skateboarding will help only with your balance...it's a whole new game! Expect a sore arse the first few days before the edge switching finally clicks

now i want a new binding too.
instead of doing work, i am browsing burton site like a maniac.
nic, i remember u have the capstrap binding. is it significantly better? i am thinking to get it.
- jevad0
once you go capstrap you will never go back man..it pushes your heel deep into the cup...and takes pressure off having a strap over your toes...I recommend it!
seed - yeah I surfed for as long as I've skated..about 17 years now...it definately helps...but learning edge to edge transfers is a shitter...
