What's best for storing a board —storage/warm wax or the producers plastic wrapping?

1. I want to practice doing jumps, spins, and squats/leans in my stance. is there a "correct" way to do this? Will doing this affect my board or wax negatively?
2. I want to buy some gear for next year with the deepest discounts possible. How long will things be on sale and will they get cheaper than right now.
3. I want to get better in the off season but skateboarding is a little intimidating as I'm a geezer and I can't afford to hurt myself. Would longboarding, which I've heard is easier/safer, have similar carryover for snowboarding?

Well as the title says don’t do it. If you hit a powdered area and since your most likely a noob reading this like me it’s harder to control your board in powder so you’ll fall. And you’ll hit a tree. For me it was my leg and broke my femur. Please practice y’all 🙏😭

Hi there,
I am looking for a bit of advise - I currently ride a 154 Joystick with some Cartel bindings, but found it a little tedious on hardpack groomers.

I have been eying up a Burton board. However, when looking at the sizing suggestion they are suggesting a 144 which I think is to small?

I am:
5ft 10" - 178cm

150 lbs - 68kg

UK Size 8.5 boots

​

The next size up for the board I'm looking at is 156.

Any suggestions - It's purely for mountain riding / groomers

When u remove the earmuffs from the smith code u remove the entire liner. I was wondering if you can re install the liner or no?

Closing day at Big Bear yesterday and someone almost hit this little black cover while riding yesterday. Stopped to see what they narrowly dodged and got a good laugh when I saw it’s id is “EZ2C” cuz clearly it wasn’t 😂😂😂

Hey guys I am not sure if this is something I can post here but I foun a used snowboard for sale with what looks like severe delam. The guy says he would be willing to sell it for 200. Its a Jones 2023 mountain twin, is this even fixable?

Thanks for all the responses! I am just going to buy a mountain twin from the local demo shop instead for 385 lol

I’ve read boots and bindings are the most important thing to have. So I wanted to invest in some that I would be happy with for a long time. (Or at least the bindings) I bought some Burton Photon Wide Step Ons and the X bindings. (Next season I’ll buy a board, this season I’m renting again. I tried a Burton Custom X and another shitty soft board)

The guy at the shop insisted wide is correct for me and that my toe should just tickle the edge of the boot. Sometimes my toes just touch the front.

I find myself cranking the boas all the way up and I still feel like the board doesn’t move as I move, like there’s a dead area between edges which is too big, and I have to work really hard to get on my edge and if I don’t over compensate I’ll catch an edge. It sucks and it hurts.

I’ve put the bindings at max forward lean. (F2/3)

Are my boots the wrong size? Or the wrong model? Or, is it purely technique? Or is it just how step ons are?

Or is this normal? I just want instant response. I bought the boots from a snowboard shop in the mountains, so thought I was getting solid advice.

Thanks for any advice!

just bought a capita birds of a feather board... my union juliet binding screws seem to not be long enough??? need recommendations for replacement screws.... ta

Hi, I'm shopping snowboard jackets and I am 1.71m in height. I had my clothes rented and when I look at myself I feel like I am a turd on snow plank. Jackets be bulky and pants be too skinny but it's fits. Should I go Very Loose in buying them?

I used to be an intermediate snowboarder. My gears are Burton Mission bindings and Burton Process from 2010. I stopped around 2012 but picked it up recently because I want to ride with my kids. Should I update my gear?

I have been looking into updating my bindings to step ins like Flow Fenix.

I only do groomers and no park.

Title pretty much says it all. I'm a 38 year old progressing beginner. Still trying to get comfortable with speed and dialing in my turns. Ride green and blue groomers and a little off piste. I want to get more into some powder and trees as I continue to progress. I have zero desire to do any park.

I was a pretty good skateboarder in my youth and enjoy riding switch and would like to do it a lot... thus I really appreciate the true twin concept.

My research has led me to medium flex, camber, twin, all mountain boards.

I keep finding boards like the K2 after black or Capita DOA that fit that mold but seem to be marketed as primarily park boards.

I like the idea of the Jones Frontier but it's directional. The Jones Mountain Twin seems a bit stiff.

Please tell me what to do.

Im hoping for snowboard recommendations. Currently riding 15-20 days a year, coming off my third season. 5’11”, 230 lbs riding a lib tech cold brew 161, boot size 11, all ice coast riding.

I think the cold brew was a good beginner board, it’s stable and gave me confidence increasing speed and groomed slopes, and I don’t have another reference, but the magnetraction feels like it holds well on ice. I’ll follow others through the park and will play with the terrain a bit, but don’t have any intentions on the features.

After a few seasons and getting more confident, I now find the cold brew boring as I try to mess around. Cuts through the woods, side hits, uneven terrain, just doesn’t offer much and is stiff and rigid.

Any suggestion on something more playful and maneuverable as a second option? I don’t know enough about the different specs to make a qualified decision.

Would the YES standard be too difficult for a advanced beginner snowboard? I will be coming from the K2 Standard and wanted an upgrade. Not sure how difficult the transition would be.

Hello,

I recently got into snowboarding, its very fun and I want to commit to the gear. I used a few different brands when renting and I really liked Burton, so I bought burton boots, bindings and board. The thing is, I'm reconsidering the board. Can folks help me pick? I'm open to other burton boards, and for reference I'm using Cartel X EST bindings and burton ion boots in case that matters. Most people say I should get a size 150-154, so 152 seems like the middle ground.

Burton Custom Camber

• Got it 40% off, $450 after tax

• Excellent for park, pow, and mountain

• Twin flex

• Slightly directional shape

• Very slightly too big for me, 154.

Burton process camber

• Twin flex

• Twin shape

• Excellent for pow, mountain, and decent for park(?)

• 152 size which is probably perfect

• Completely sold out, will have to wait for next season. So probably won't get it for sale? Estimate 550-600 price after tax.

• More flex, so probably won't be able to ride as fast.

Right now and for the foreseeable future, I will be riding pretty much exclusively groomed trails, and I really love riding switch and (trying to) go fast.

Thoughts?

Im thinking about going boarding tomorrow but it's been pretty warm so I'm not sure how the mountain would be. What do y'all think? I'm in Denver. Worth the trip?

I was at my local store and the employee told me that although other bindings may be compatible with the channel system, that the experience is much worse and that the board is less responsive. He said it is because the disk gives way more than the burton ones and that the “bend” more or something like that and that it isn’t 100% good.

Is this true? I’ve never heard this comment before.

No video since I go alone a lot but I’ll do my best. I ride an Arbor Foundation (full rocker with w grip tech). It’s my 5the year but I only get 5-7 days a season. I have tremendous trouble on east coast ice and east coast ice pellets. It feels like every time I try to turn the board goes too far across the mountain length wise and I lose balance, like it’s day 3 again. Often I can retain balance but I lose all speed and it’s just not fun. Like I can’t find my edge or maybe I’m just scared of the speed it develops so quickly? Other conditions I can make clean C and S turns. Maybe some carving this year earlier in the year but when I’m really comfortable in good conditions
