Those accidents like head injuries only have to happen once. Like you I didn’t ride with a Helmet at first until I started instructing and actually witnessed the results of not wearing a helmet and most of them happened on flats even to some experienced riders. In the end its still everyone’s personal choice and risk you take, but more and more parks are making it mandatory and it just takes a few more fatal head injuries to make it to the media till they become mandatory everywhere!

Fes, I know it was one of the losses when I switched to the new platform is photos and taking the time to resize them. I’m still looking at options and dealing with photos when it comes to SIA time where people really want to see shots up close.

Thanks Lee for taking the Force/Force SL question, appreciate it! The highback is different from Force to Force SL. Both are great bindings and I like the lighter weight of the SL’s as an added bonus but my Forces were great as well.

Lou G, Ahhhh yes the loaded question. I don’t need padded shorts since I have an ass…it’s just a bonus perk of having an ass. I currently do not have a helmet and I rarely ride in one. I know accidents happen and I take that risk snowboarding of all the dangers, so I have yet to open myself to riding with a helmet. Knock on wood and I just ride within my limits.

hey FLuiD
Difference between the bindings is weight. SL has a cored out baseplate this year, and has asymetrical highbacks. Last year it ran a regular stage 2 baseplate like the Force runs..pretty sure the straps are the same.got to the union site.its up and running now to compare the two better. both are great bindings though.

Shay, how about protective gear? I know you’ve been getting a lot more involved with your freestyle progression so will you be rocking any padded shorts/helmets for the coming season?

Shay…I know it takes up more hosting space but I TOTALLY miss being able to click and get a high res picture… 🙁 Gear looks great! What’s the main difference between the Force’s and Force SL? TIA!

*Drool* The NS Evo-R is shredalicious!

I’m still rocking my 05/06 Evo 155, and loving it.

This season I gotta get new pants. Gore-Tex all the way. I’ve had my eye on the Burton AK series, but I’m VERY open for suggestions.
