Nothing too fancy, it was used but "never been used" from KSL. M3 Axis 165 or whatever, I don't even know if that's a mainstream brand these days or not, I've been out of it for a few years due to my poor knees but I'm going to get back into it.

Time to stick some GoPro mounts on it, Garbanzo and I will be hitting Park City on Friday. :cool2:

Have fun on the snowboard!

If you need any board or gear advice let me know. I worked for Backcountry.com for 3 years. I have been skateboarding, surfing and snowboarding since I was 16. You may want to look into some cant beds for your bindings. That does help with the knees. Also examining your stance can help with this. You should be no more than 1" wider than your shoulder width on your stance. This helps with protecting your MCL and ACL. For example, I ride regular, left foot 12 degrees, right foot -9. On my Custom, which is a directional twin I ride a 22 inch stance. My Supermodel which has 10 mm taper with a radial side cut I ride a 21.5 inch stance and my Malolo which is 20 mm of taper and 50 set back I ride a 21 inch stance. I have found that in the pow, a narrower stance reduces rear leg burn quite a bit.

Have fun, look forward to some Go-Pro shredding vids.
