Burton Malavita vs. Union Contact vs. Ride Revolt Bindings

I'm going to purchase a new set of bindings, but I need help deciding which ones would be better for me. Overall, most of the riding I do is in the park. What is your opinions or experiences with any of these bindings?



I currently ride a 156 Ride DH. It's pretty stiff for a park board, so I really want a binding that isn't going to stiffen my board any more than it already is. I want a binding that will minimize the dead zone on the board, and will allow it to flex how it was…

Weather alerting website

I am really busy and don't get around to checking weather reports every day to check snow conditions.  I just happened across a new website that I found interesting and useful.  JoeWeather.com allows you to set up a profile (one for free) with your own weather preferences for an activity and the site will alert (email and SMS) you when those weather conditions, for your selected location, should be ideal based upon your preferences.  You can even specify an amount of snowfall!

Big mountain snowboarder Jeremy Jones has traveled the globe from Alaska to Antarctica in search of unexplored mountain ranges and new lines - sometimes trekking nearly a full day to reach the top of his runs. He’s embarked on his latest trek producing and starring in his own snowboard movie, Deeper, which came out earlier this fall and recently just launched his own line of snowboards.

Mike Robertson will miss the first part of the season!

I just read an article on theglobeandmail.com that Mike Robertson, a silver medalist in snowboard-cross at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Games, will miss the first part of the season!
He apparently had two head injuries this year. The second time he cracked his head so badly, that he still has been experiencing dizziness and headaches.
I am very sorry for him as I was looking forward to his amazing shows! Hope he gets better soon! I wish him that from the bottom of my heart!
