Is a Ride snowboard, bindings, boots, helmet, goggles for $150 a good deal?
Posted on February 9th, 2009 by admin
My friend is going to give me an old Ride Liquid snowboard (I think thats the model), oxygen boots, oxygen strap on bindings, a helmet and goggles all for $150. The board comes up a little lower than my chin and Im about 130 pounds, Im kinda a begginer to snowboarding.
That is a good deal! As long as it is in decent shape and the binding straps work ok that would be a good deal for a beginner. If you would try to buy everything from a ski shop you would have to pay A LOT more. You could also look on eBay for a good deal. You can usually find used snowboards on there with bindings and boots that go pretty cheap, especially in the summer when not too many people are looking for them. Good luck! and hope you love snowboarding if not try skiing( you wont fall as much when you first start out) Either way they are both AWESOME sports! Have fun!

look at the boots/bindings make sure they still clip up properly and stay clipped. otherwise go for it. but try skiing – more control and you dont sit on your bum for so long.

Just make sure everything fits and the cap around the board isn’t starting th split. Check the binding bases for cracks and the helmet for ANY and I mean ANY type of impact evidence. Seriuosly take a lesson at the closest mountain befrore you go out, can’t even stand up, and get discouraged. It’s WAY better than skiing, and don’t let nobody EVER tell you different. You get good on a board, and you’ll score tons of babes.

Go for it! You could also pay 150 Euros just for helmet and goggle! So if something of those things doesn´t work anymore, go and buy a new one, the rest is still cheap! Know what I mean?
