Poster: A snowHead
|
There is an e-bay listing for these :
AIRTRACKS SNOWBOARDSET STAR!BOARD+BINDINGS+BOOTS+SBBAG!
TOP!FULLWOODCORE BOARD!BOOTS WITH LINER!BINDINGS!NEW!
Works out at £140 for the full kit. Anybody had any experience of these products.
I am looking for gear for the occasional snowy week in the UK and for dry slopes.
As ever you get what you pay for, so I'm not expecting it to be that good, I would just like to know wether it's worth buying or avoiding like the plague.

Sarge, Never heard of them and like you I'd be wary just because of the price. I've found this website http://www.airtracks-snowboards.com/en/ but my German is nowhere near god enough to translate the design spec of the boards.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Swirly, specs are in english if you hit the button . . . German prices on all sorts of kit including the mainstream ski stuff is usually much better than UK . . . but you pays yer dosh you take the risk. There's always the point that if you're going to trash a board off the furniture then why pay full whack?

Very true, I'd be tempted if I was looking for a board to trash on the dry slope and riding over heather and rocks in Scotland, chances are if it blows you could make some money back selling it on.

all i can say is you get what ya pay for BUT at £120 notes for the lot can you go wrong for trying it? Even is you trash it after a few weeks then you would have prob spent the same on rentals.
But i still wouldnt, lookf ro a 2nd hand used board from a known brand. Burton/rome/ride/k2/capita/sapient to name a few
there are always deals to be had on ebay

i have the set for 4 years or so. i was a beginner at the time. i would say that they are quite ok. you may buy your boot separately but i think boots do not come really expensive when you buy the whole set.
if you are a really beginner, first rent few times to find out the best size for you. enjoy!
