What can I do to be good at snowboarding?

Where can I find good quality snowboarding gear?

• I want a good quality INEXPENSIVE snowboard (w/ bindings + boots), clothes, goggles, helmet, etc. etc. I'm ok with getting a used board that is in good condition, because I can always just buy my own boots. Anyone know any good stores that have a good selection of nice cheap gear? Hopefully some in N.H-M.A U.S.A, otherwise online is great. THANK YOU very much for reading this, and even more so for replying.

• Answer:

  you might want to go during the summer to a ski shop. they will have boards that they demoed last year in good condition and good quality for cheap prices. also you might want to get last years modle. i got $1100 skis for $400 and they were really nice. you would also want to get last years modle for boots. that doesn't mean there bad the ski shop just wants to get rid of them. you might want to go to a ski swap because that stuff is usually good. if you need to you might want to use ebay but im not sure the security of that. good luck finding the gear!
