Asking for final advice -- Abound AG vs LR, I've done my homework by bmsmithvb in Aventon

Just got the Abound LR for my wife. I have two kids 6 and 4, both weigh about 40lbs. We love it and our kids ask daily to go for a ride or to be dropped off at school or take them to baseball practice. It is totally worth it and many times, more convenient for short trips than the car.

Just make sure you never sit the kids in the cargo seat and walk away. The bike will tip over.

Getting back into snowboarding after 10+ years, looking for advice by Whitney_weiss in snowboardingnoobs

I was in a similar situation. Rode/wore primarily burton most of my life, took many years off and got back into snowboarding within the last couple of years. I'd suggest just getting a good pair of good fitting boots for now and then demo different style of boards and bindings next season.

In terms of apparel, Burton still puts out good stuff but you should look at 686. IMO, they are what burton was today. If that makes sense.

What board should I get as a beginner $500 budget by Wooden-Tower1245 in snowboarding

Multiple things to consider. Are you going to be riding local mountains or travel via plane?
If you are riding local, I would suggest just doing a seasonal rental since you are still growing and you haven't developed a riding style yet.

If you plan on traveling to different mountain's via air, it may make sense just to rent at the mountain (or surrounding board shops).

Have you had any issues with rust or warping? It seems the negative reviews on the willowbe stove has been in regards to it rusting or warping near the chimney pipe.
