other active snowboard forums?
Any other forums worth visiting that are pretty active and unbiased?
(not hosted by a manufacturer) r.s.s. is good, but with less people even knowing what usenet is, it likely lacks some traffic potential. |

Try http://www.goneboarding.co.uk/ there forums are decently active (at least at the end of last season they were) and I found their gear reviews to be informative and objective (as far as I could tell). |

Lots of discussion of rival bindings, plus other stuff. Extremely hardboot oriented, of course. Way more active than rss. Neil |

om... Any other forums worth visiting that are pretty active and unbiased? (not hosted by a manufacturer) r.s.s. is good, but with less people even knowing what usenet is, it likely lacks some traffic potential. if you're interested in backcountry riding, there is a new, active splitboard forum he http://www.splitboard.com/phpbb2/ seems to be lots of cool, knowledgable people interested in picking up awareness of the sport. -- jmed |

Try http://www.goneboarding.co.uk/
Yes, that's forum is ok, although it's a bit UK/ flatland oriented and fairly young. You do get people there who think the crud at the side of Xscape is "powder". There are several other uk forums you'll get with a google or two... looks to me like most people have moved away from usenet, or perhaps never moved to it. I like http://www.bomberonline.com, but that's because I've heard all the kid jokes before and I like riding fast... |

Neil Bomber is awesome and very active and while it is not very "corporate" biased, but I'll bet you find some nice strong opinions there :] However, again it essentially a hardbooting forum and so all the discussion about "rival equipment" is not very useful if you don't own alpine boards, plate bindings, and hard boots. You can definitely use for riding technique tips and to find out about resorts around the US and maybe some softgoods like jackets and gloves - but overall I just don't think it fits for general forum to check up on unless you want to be converted to hardbooting (if you do... come on in!). It would be a like a regular skiier going to a telemark forum. |

What do people see in these forums? They're slow to load, clunky to use,
the interface is determined by the operator, they don't thread properly. Is it just purely the volume of traffic? I'm subscribed to some high volume newsgroups and it's a nightmare keeping up. Go away for a week and forget about it.
