Oh man I know exactly what board that is.
It's one of those low cost Amazon sets
Yeah I do.
Look here
Then here
Thanks! I use the HangTime mount. It's pretty sturdy once you find the wall stud.
I snagged this one on EBay, but if money isnt a big deal, amazon has an ok price.

I think I just searched for some - I used to work in a board shop way back in the day and remember seeing some that we sold and used. Not sure if these are them, but they are what I purchased. They work great, but it looks like yours do as well and for a fraction of the cost.

i use these http://www.amazon.com/HangTime-Snowboard-Wall-Mount-White/dp/B002DV5BYY/ref=pd_sim_sbs_pc_2

I got these myself, and I love them!
Was this but I grabbed the last one at that price
i'm going to recommend buying last year's Burton Custom.
amazon - last year's 154 custom
the Custom is a board that burton's been making for about 20 year. and has been a best seller for years, and for good reason: it's a great all around board.
since it's been around so long, it's so well refined and doesn't change much year to year, so buying last year's board get's you a great discount without sacrificing quality.
edit: you can find many reviews of the custom online, including a review from the same guy who you linked
I used this guy https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002DV5BYY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_LRSggoNLotvot

Honestly, if you need to buy a deck, you might as well find a plastic snowskate, you can probably find one at the same price point.
If you have a little bit more, get a wood snowskate, here's a premier for under $75: http://www.amazon.com/Premier-Graffiti-Snowskate-35in/dp/B0063SX6V8
I'm buying a new set up for this year, looking for some advice on which board I should get. I've read the reviews on both the Smart Pickle and Space Case and can't decide between these two. Just looking to see what reddit thinks.
I mostly ride park, but do like hitting the pow when the day warrants it.
2015 Smart Pickle
2015 Space Case
Like most say, getting brand new gear would probably cost over or way over 1000$, however if you're looking to save up a buck or two - keep reading.
Get new boots, that's 150 - 250. Classic ones with laces are the cheapest and most durable. You can get even cheaper than that sometimes but you have to know what you are buying (i've got my current Nitro boots for 90 euros because they spent a few seasons in my friends shop).
You don't necessarily need a new board, just look for a used soft rocker.
Look for a good brand but several years old, that's the cheapest option.

this for example is a super- cheap option, 150$ for a new board. You can get a good used board for 100$-200$, but then again you have to know what you are buying.
I destroy boards quite often so currently I have 2 Nitro boards, one of them was 100 euros used and the other one was 200 euros new.
Of course in this price range usually you won't have a lot of choice.
When it comes to outwear/thermal layers/helmets/googles/gloves/socks - of course pants and jacket come first, as well as helmet and gloves, but then again you can get those cheap on ebay or amazon, just make sure pants and jacket have at least 5 or 8k in breathability and waterproof. Also get a long jacket - you will understand why later.
Are you planning to hire an instructor?
What did you use to hang it? I don't have space to store mine, so I want to make a feature of them on the wall. I'm looking at these, but I'm not sure how secure they'd be.
Very cool idea! Though I'd probably just spring for something like this to make life easier... I have a love/hate relationship with corks. Also, thank you for posting that source... a lot of very cool ideas in there. :)
Looking to get my own board/boots/bindings this season, is this a decent bundle or..?

This weekend I was going thru winter sports discounted items and I have seen some boards under or about $200 there. I personally own Burton (which I am happy with) but I am curious, which other brands are good for beginner-level riding? Can you actually get anything good for this low? Here is a list of decent looking boards I have found - any specifics about these brands?
Thank man! I use these to mount my board.

My gf was just looking at this one for another small asian friend (a guy) - on paper it looks like a really good entry board and not too flowery.

I used to have my snowboard wall mounted. I took off the bindings to let the board seem more like art. I used these which worked well

The only problem is when moving out they left large holes in the wall
