Hey I ride and mostly with a bunch of nasty skiers so I often get taken into the bumps. I just charge em and hope to keep up. Good fun and has made me a much better rider believe it or not.

Im a big guy (6'3 - 200) and ride a 162 Burton Custom, so its not exactly the most picture perfect setup for the bumps. That being said I dont really believe in having the right equipment but more or less having the right experience. In the sense that anyone can buy nasty equipment but not everyone can ride. I say just try and ride em smooth, regardless of whats below your feet.

Sweet man! Ive actually found on the more spread out bumps you can get a real nice flow going with your riding. Its the real tight gnarly bumps that are tough.
