After a succesful first holiday on a board have decided that I need to purchase my own board and bindings.
Ellis Brigham is next to my gym and i think i've found a great set up yesterday
This is the board - new to market but the guys in the shop raved about it - and a couple of comments on the internet suggest its a really good beginner board which will carry me through to being an intermediate at a great price.

I was planning on getting some flow bindings, but they were so heavy compared to these bindings that I'm going to put these burton bindings on the board.

Not really asking a question - just felt like sharing because I'm so excited!!!! Get paid on 15th Nov and I'll be in the shop to hand over my cash!!!!

Just binned my old Salamon Dialogue Boots (6 years old and beyond disgusting) to some 2006 model Synapses. Luv em. Fancied the Vans BFB's as Tony Lane got a pair and rated them, just didn't fit me feet as well as the Synapses.
No new board this year though. Every year I find it harder and harder to resist a Lib Tech as they are the ze nuts of ze muts. My Ride Timeless is the biz, quick, stiff (matron!) and very very fast!!!! But If I want to do some 180s, nose presses and butters I need a board with more flex don't I????? Aaaaaaaaaaaargh! resist, resist!!!!! you only got it 3 years ago!!!

Philip - a kind mod has tidied up my links!!!!!
The board is Icon Wallpaper - and is a sintered base for only £200!
I'm a bit of a 'brand' snob - but the guys in the shop were really enthusiastic after their training sessions on this years boards. I was sceptical it was a sales pitch till I found some other positive comments on a snowboard discussion site - so I'm going to go for it!

Sod payday, hello VISA. Normally v.careful on that kind of thing but have been itching for a new board. Parking a Volvo is not sexy.
In a delirium of brands, fantasies, narcissisum and Winter excitement I've managed to burn a hole within the last three weeks purchasing:
- Rome Solution 163 (read 'Top Gun', Tom Cruise: I feel, the need, for speeeeed)
- Salomon Synapse boots (so comfy! Kind of like being hungover and realising you don't have to go ito work. Althogether now, ahhh...)
- Salomon SPX44 bindings (not too much to say about these as they were bought broadly on recommendation. They are very
light and although Salomon isn't the 'coolest' of brands in the boarding fraternity if the live up to the standard of my boots I
couldn't give a toss.
36 days and counting..........

101 - ouch! Shame we don't have a snowdome closer to us (I'm in Cardiff, I gather you are in Bristol).
I suppose you could practice ollying in the front room.

FAQ
the Board sounds like a cracker... seems like a really good beginners board... I hope you have lots of fun with it...
