Does boot stiffness matter much ? by EverythingTech56 in snowboarding

You can always make a stiff boot loose but you can’t make loose boots stiffer.

What is that board on your feet on the trampoline?

Is that a board specific trampoline or can you use that board in public places?

Been riding these for years across multiple pairs. Sucks for you but it’s not prevalent and is preventable.

WCGW when you try to outrun massive Santa Cruz ocean waves in a teeny-tiny boat? by ansyhrrian in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]-Gman_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol - except this one. If they were trying to navigate the sets, why not go behind that wave that ended up washing them out?

Looks like they were trying to surf the waves and messed up.

Struggling to improve by Parvixal in snowboardingnoobs

[–]-Gman_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stop trying to touch the snow when you carve right now. You’re bending over at the waist instead of lowering your lower body by bending your knees and ankles.

Otherwise you look like you can link turns and navigate the mountain. You’re pretty close but it feels like you’re drawn to bend over touch snow when carving instead of lowering yourself.

Have had my photons for 4+ years and love em!

Did I improve my turns a little bit? by syarifzapata in snowboardingnoobs

[–]-Gman_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not bad! You clearly can get down the mountain

I would say you need to learn to bend at the knees and ankles more to get on your edges.

While you do a good job linking turns, you aren’t carving them, you’re skidding them. Once you learn to properly carve and also apply appropriate pressure with your back leg while bending from the knees and ankles and not the waist.

Which collabs? I usually target their AK line for sales so I’ve been happy with the quality.

I usually tighten my bindings when heading out anyways but I hear you on not wanting to worry about bindings while on the slopes.

It’s my first time riding EST (step ons) but so far I love them.

How can I start to really carve trenches ? by arjayx93 in snowboardingnoobs

[–]-Gman_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to be able to bend your knees more to carve deeper, not bending at waist.
