System MTN and APX Complete Men's Snowboard Package

I got this last year and it works great, the price is nice too. Love it

Great starter set quick easy setup everything was together, boots fitted great that’s always the tricky part, my son really enjoyed

Beginner level here. We'll start with the board. Board came as presented on the website and it handles very nice. The board does not come detuned- meaning, all the edges around the board are sharp. To get the board ready for snow, the edges on the tip/tail must be filed off to make them dull. Otherwise, you risk the possibility of your tip/tail catching on to something if you were to lose your balance, for example. I ended up going to a ski shop to ask how to exactly detune the board. The video below does a good job depicting what needs to be done. At the shop, they just grabbed a file and filed it off with no additional work and it handled fine. On the video, they go through some extra steps, which I guess is user dependent. [...] Bindings- they're of "OK" quality. I YouTubed how to properly place them on the board and it was pretty straight forward. I suggest you do the same as a beginner. They did their job and kept my feet on the board. However, after a couple of runs, one of the release mechanism (Lever that you pull to release the strap) extensions broke, which made it harder to release my foot after a run but it still works. Boots- True to size, comfortable and easy to walk in. I say this board is a great buy for beginner levels. Definitely a step up from rentals. Beats waiting in line and after a couple visits to the mountain the board practically pays off itself with the money you would've used for renting. I gave this a 4/5 stars due to having to detune the board and the issue with the binding. Suggestions: - YouTube before doing anything with the board or go to a ski shop and ask - Buy a stamp pad (Basically its a pad with a sticker) you stick it on the board and when you deboard the ski lift you place your rear foot on it to give you a grip (You will only have your front foot strapped to the board- your front foot leads the board off the ground once on you get picked up by the ski lift and leads the board to the unloading area). I placed my stump pad just to the left of my rear binding.

It was a great first board set and after I got the board waxed it road smoothly.

I’ve beaten this setup now for 2 seasons and everything is holding up strong! The board rides great and is really durable for the price!

This is a pretty good board that I’ve been using for the past 3 years and everything still works. I get it sharpened and waxed once a year and it’s good. The only thing I don’t like is the laces but if that’s what you prefer i personally don’t. Try to find a pair of boots with the button to help adjust your boot instead of laces so that your foot is more snug.

Edit: After the second day, the laminate has come off the bottom!! The pro at the tune shop said this board is trashed, worst he’s seen in fifteen years. He saved the day by calling in a complimentary rental. Lesson learned trying to save some money and get a deal… you get what you pay for! I had all the name top brand boards and gear in college/twenties when I was active in the sport. Some injuries and starting career with responsibilities made me reconsider the hobby. This was ten years ago. I sold all my gear five years ago. Decided this winter to get back into it, with a more mature mindset of taking it easy. Generic rentals are $75/day. Opted give this a try. It’s overall great value for the occasional rider! I was aware of the reviews regarding the buckles/straps. They aren’t bad at all, just a little lightweight compared to top brands. I think when you get off the lift and go to dock, take a second to straighten your straights versus kicking in your boots, and it will go a long way.

Just started getting into snowboarding - this served me well on two trips so far, one in Alaska and one in Japan. Seems sturdy and perfectly functional for a beginner. For the price I couldn't find a better deal at the time and I'm happy with it.
