sweet, yeah I can't wait till i get to shredd on my new board

 

So have you tried it out yet?  I just rode my Solution for the 2nd time today and absolutely love it!  It's last year's 158, but it's the exact same as this year's.  Anyway, it's such a fun board... and alot faster than I expected.  Great for all mountain riding, and soft enough to take in the park if you want.  Let me know how you like your's after you get to take it out.

so this year i picked up:

06 Atomic Terminal 156
Rome Arsenal's

Loved the setup and worx great.

thanks mostly goes to shay with steering me towards atomic

the bindings i went with because of all the good info posted about rome in the binding section

thanks to everyone that helped

'07 Rome Anthem 154: Love this thing! This board seriously makes me want to abuse it. I do 75%/25% freeride/freestyle ratio. Stable as hell on ripper runs, and poppy enough on kickers/half etc. I really am in love. -- '07 Ride SPI's: First shot at using ride bindings. I've read negatives on these and I have to say I really really like them. I like a stiffer binding and these suit me just fine. Stable and supportive. The ratchets sometimes stick when releasing, but no biggie. I'll probably keep these for next season. -- '07 Burton Hail: Okay, so I bough last years Burton Freestyle boots. I hated them. I was in a financial pinch and was riding out of town. It was either buy boots and ride, or don't buy boots and don't ride. I bought them and I didn't like them. This year I was trying boots on and for whatever reason I decided I actually liked these... I figured after about 15 times out I would have regretted the decision. It's been about 25 days of riding so far and I'm happy as a pig in sh-t with these. Comfy and war. I like them and I'd probably buy another pair should I need to. I do however use an insert/arch support. It makes a big difference - without the support in them, i have a problem with a loose heel. --- so that's it. All in all i'm happy with everything - especially the board.
