In an effort to put the US economy back on track, local citizen Chester Frantz goes on a shopping spree. Seen in above photo, are all the things he bought. "It was nothing your average economic super hero wouldn't do" explained Chester. Upon seeing the credit card bill, Shannon, Chester's wife of 3 years, showed "limited enthusiasm" for his efforts.

How much was the Avalung? You'll have to give us some feedback on how easy it is to use (though I'd prefer you not have to actually use it in the field...)
We're pole twins now.
avalung is easy to use, light (1 pd) and fairly unobtrusive. I am still on the fence, as may give a false sence of security and i think trying to get something in you mouth as you are getting thrashed is asking a lot. if i ever use it i am goona be very upset with myself. they got a backpack too which would make it seamless.(nothing extra
to monkey around with but i liked my old pack, and wanted a little more flexibility.
twist poles always break, flint lock is the way on the poles
binders are cool, built for splitboarding, but kind of a silly purchase
Are those the bindings that go flesh to the board that that dude on Splitboard.com came up with? My housemate bought some and says they're awesome. Plus, it's good to support that guy.
Yeah, my twist poles just broke, so I bought those poles too for that reason.
On the avalung, aren't you supposed to have it in your mouth already before you drop into something? Then the problem is just keeping the friggin thing in your mouth.
Have you seen this video? Scott found it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6C2eWRvZgKU
But having the avalung in your mouth before you drop into something is admitting that you're dropping into something you should absolutely not be dropping into.
I like my twist poles, but they're really big burly two-section poles, so I don't think I'll have problems. I have seem three-section poles bend like nobody's business.
yep sparks rand.com they are expensive, probably not worth it, but i like em. I needed new binders anyway. i think it saves more weight the bigger binging you have. aka more worth it for large binder people, less worth it for small binder people. they are stiffer, lower, and the pining is way less play. the crampons not big enough. i bought the baseplates from him and bought some bent metal bindings on sale, cheaper that way but still spendy
my board is very close in performance to a resort board now, weight is 2 pds heavier than my resort set up.
scott prediction-your twisty poles will break. what hapens is the plastic twusty part ends up spinning freeley from the aluminum part. so you end up spinning the shaft to loosen, but nothing is happening. i have superglued mine three times. the super glue is a pretty good repair, last glueing held up for over 2 months.
I dont ride with it in my mouth, but you could. been practicing putting it in quick.
I am done beeing a tecknoweinie for a while.
BTW snowboard shit is gonna be cheap this summer. the biggest shop in slc is way overstocked so should be some deals this summer.
I've had the spinny problem a few times, but every time just pulling the inner section out, wiping the moisture off, and putting it back in has worked. I think with the twist poles you just have to be really careful to make sure they dry off between uses.
