The Banana is a great ride. This model is intended for smaller guys and women. If you really have a legit warranty issue, Mervin MFG is really good about replacing your deck. If you e-bay a board you ARE SOL...
If you are a really aggressive rider, I suggest getting the TRS board as the Skate Banana is a really soft, playfull deck and the TRS will hold up to a little more abuse since it has a higher end construction. But if you want to ride toxic chineese toys that you THINK will hold up better, be my guest.

If you've never been snowskating before, I suggest you try it sometime.
Ths deck is a bi-level, so you can actually use it on the mountain. It's like surfing meets snow on a skatedeck. It makes you look at the mountain differently and is so much fun I can't believe it.

This is probably the only decent made snowboard on the market with cap construction! It's not a less durable construction compared to Sandwitch, it's just harder to repair. A good torsional stiffness makes for a great ride and nice edge hold. Mervin Mfg invented Cap construction, so if anybody can do it right, It's LIB!!!

This board got a Good Wood top halfpipe board for the second year in a row.

I just got the white pair of these shoes and I want to say that the faux snakeskin or whatever leather it is looks WAY better in person! Such a comfortable shoe too. The fit is about a 1/4 to 1/2 size big though.
Some great kicks. Already getting compliments.

This isn't just a pipe board! Even though Kass won the abominal snow jam on this board, it still rocks everywhere. Such a fun playfull board! So much better than all those wanna-be rocker imitation boards! I don't think they work as well without the magnatraction. Mervin has the design perfected! Thanks GNU!

I don't know why anyone would buy this board except for it's graphics! There's obviously no tech to it. Slimewalls? You call that an advancement in snowboard technology? Softer sidewalls means you cam smash in your edges even easier. My friend had last years and it was a disappointment. nuff said.

So, this roller luggage may be a little easy to overload with the backpack and all, so I usually leave it off. The clamshell stlye luggage is big enough on it's own. Zipping the pack on IS nice when it's loaded and you're sick of carrying it.
So far this piece has held up real well, banging thru the airport a few times and all.
Thanks!

Th Polo is pretty simple, but fit's plenty of my gear. I've been using mine a bunch just traveling back and forth to the mountains full of my riding gera. In and out of the trunk and in and out of the snow a bunch, this luggage has been great. Can't wait to take it on a bigger trip!

I love OBJ! Great guy's and great product, but I didn't expect much from them when I ordered this luggage. Well, I guess I was wrong! This Luggage is Stacked! It is totally well built, beyond what I expected. Can't wait to take this thing on the road. $ well spent here.
Word.

Stoked on this jacket! when I got it, I found out that it uses this nice stretchy fabric, which looks, feels and moves nicely with my body. Then I find this great big Travis Rice poster of him jumping over a freaking tree with my jacket on. Oddly enough, the jacket has a pine tree print too...
