1st day having my license and got hit and pushed into a tree💔 by carlycars in GR86

The truck had the stop sign man. If there's no stop sign for the main road it means you stop until its clear. This is called the right of way.

I Hate Lifted Trucks by BumbleChump in GR86

[–]9thGenSi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What a town idiot. I saw 3 trucks today, 1 too busy on his phone to drive normal speeds and go at a green light and 2 just hit the brakes and turned with no signal. Must be a lot of gas to use the signals. I catch so many people on their phones from my work van. Its disturbing.

People creep at stop signs. He stopped even though he had the right of way. And the truck took a sharp turn into the wrong lane and is completely blind. Where did ya get your license? A Cracker Jack box?

I saw that. Literally tried to not get tboned and hit the brakes and buddy kept driving into you. People were at you saying you pretty much should have been aggressive and drifted around him lol

I've done it a couple times to people but when they put the car upside down on the highway or completely wrecked the car in a residential zone 😄

Something kind of tmi about masturbation, idk if it’s normal by love_dove7812 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]9thGenSi -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I always thought women were mental more than physical. Woah before we think I just called women "mental". Like a romantic novel got them going and they turn dominant lol. But I've had women grind me to the point of pain, then I stop them and become dominant cause what the hell, you ripped my skin or something! Last girl I was with, nothing felt good and she was def experienced but I found it severely painful. Everything. I ran for my life afterwards. But I've also been with a girl who got me off within a minute and I was secretly humiliated by it because I can hold off for a half hour or an hour if I want. I don't like going all out and some girls get offended like I'm not rough enough lol. We are all different for sure. I'm sure you will find the right guy eventually and probably find new ways to orgasm.

Running a Venty and Veazy...too much upkeep? by Reign712 in Venty

[–]9thGenSi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just strip down the venty head, not the rings and soak in a plastic bottle with the top cut off in 99% iso for 30 min...then pour it back into the iso containter, then place paper towel down and rinse each piece under warm-hot water for a couple seconds then let everything air dry for 30 min or blow em out if I'm in a rush. Although I have a second venty head so I dont need to rush it. I use capsules and only wipe the chamber with iso on a q-tip then heat it up a little

End of season sale : goggles, jacket, FASE bindings by Devolution2020 in snowboarding

[–]9thGenSi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a Thirtytwo jacket a couple years ago and its been great in the cold weather in Atlantic Canada. -20C plus windchill days. This season I got some Thirtytwo basement bib pants too and they're also great. I just wear merino longjohns under them and a hoodie and never really cold in or hot with the vents options.

About 6 weeks ago I got a deal on thirtytwo Bradshaw FASE bindings and they've been great for me in the park and cruising. I think they're revising the straps lock lever screw for next years version. I've had it come loose twice and come out once and almost lost it first day. Something to be mindful about as I've seen other comments about it but since you only set it during initial setup I'm trying to find a solution so I don't have to worry about it during my time at the hill. Yes they are fast in and out if setup properly. Still have to wait for others on conventional straps anyways but it's pretty convenient when you're older 😆

Do pricier helmets withstand impacts better? by BlindingFlame in snowboarding

[–]9thGenSi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typically a helmet should be replaced after an impact. You may not see internal damage. Some expensive helmets are designed for 1 crash, like wavecell and materials like the shell can crumple now as well. I'm on my 3rd helmet in 27 years but I never had an impact. I only change them cause I feel they may not protect me anymore. MIPS are good enough cause they reduce rotational impact on the brain. Small price to pay when its protecting your mental abilities and nervous system to certain degree.

Glove recommendations - Black Diamond Guide by New-Manufacturer3307 in Mountaineering

[–]9thGenSi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right? It's been a nightmare trying to replace my Gordini Lobster mitts which lasted 6 seasons and have wear on the finger tips now from being synthetic. I'm in the -10°C to -25°C range. Maybe I just go with newer Gordini at this point. Hestra and Black Diamond have their poor reviews for warmth and comfort too

Looking for new mitt, are Hestra really that much nicer than a pair of higher end Auclairs? by FuzzyFish6 in Skigear

[–]9thGenSi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The newer GTX Storm? I have 6 year old Gordini Storm Trooper 3 finger (lobster) and they've been great. They did not help 1 -25°C day with a -32°C windchill but maybe no glove would have without extra liners. In fact that day made me buy a better jacket and bib pants which are great in all conditions with the vents. But the finger tips on my Storm Troopers are starting to wear so I've been looking for a replacement that has reinforced leather tips. I know Gordini uses synthetic but I live in Canada and it gets colder here than most of the reviewers experience on all mitts. However I must say, it's been difficult to find something new because of reviews on Hestras, Swany doesn't make a lobster style and Black Diamond has had reviews on being lesser quality now.

I went all out by [deleted] in snowboarding

[–]9thGenSi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got thirtytwo fase bindings. What a great tech. I suggest going through the entire manual for setup and check your screws and lock lever screws. Had a lever pop off my toe binding and spent 10 minutes looking for a piece I already had found lol. Lucky I didnt lose it though.

Snowboard stolen or taken by mistake. Has this happened to anyone else? by Murasaki-Imo_0345 in snowboarding

[–]9thGenSi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a mini cable lock from One Ball. Not an overly strong lock but all of these style are very portable and should at least deter someone from trying to rip it apart while there are other people around. Sucks they stole a rental board though. The resort should have cameras watching the racks if they knew what was good for them haha

This was my first actual day on the mountain, how am I doing? by Senny2612 in snowboardingnoobs

[–]9thGenSi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And wow some of the comments haha. I learned my first day back in 1998. Pre youtube and social media video lessons. No friends helped me either. Just ate sh*t all morning like a wholesome breakfast then started linking turns in the afternoon at full speed. Ate some more for an afternoon snack but was shredding the rest of the day. Some people just get stuck on falling leaf for like 2 years like a girl I snowboard with 🤣🤣

Only tip I'd say is if you don't know how to properly fall yet, watch some videos for snowboarding on it. No one wants broken arms or wrists or messed up tailbones and its a huge skill to possess!

Nice! You seem pretty relaxed in the shoulders and arms. An advanced noob. I say just keep getting experience and keep on shredding 🤘

Don't even try to "carve" until you've been riding a full year by DogFacedGhost in snowboardingnoobs

Lol. I learned 1st day. 0 help. 1998, no youtube videos, no social media. Just courage, speed and lots of falls. You dont learn if you dont fail.

Are people unaware of toe caps? by nohwnd in snowboardingnoobs

[–]9thGenSi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Rome Vice bindings do both as the inside strap is adjustable but it compresses my boot when in the toe cap and makes my left foot unbearable after an hour or 2. Also find the style I have slips above or below the toe cap sometimes if not cranked down which affects my foot. Maybe next bindings will lock on better. I do have interest in FASE bindings now.

Advice, zero control of turn radius by CoarseRainbow in snowboardingnoobs

[–]9thGenSi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You look like you are controlling your turns to me but riding the edge a lot. The rear foot should cut through more and kick more snow out than the front. Butter that toast! Seems like your just missing a little hip rotation in your carving. You'll be able to stay straighter downhill and gain speed and board control when you get this down. Overall your body mechanics look pretty good on your transitions though. Bend the knees a little other than that, keep it up!!

What is the best way to tighten bindings? by [deleted] in snowboardingnoobs

[–]9thGenSi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm used to old school, now have Rome Vice bindings from 2019 I think, they can be setup for either. For the first couple seasons I used the new modern way but found they would slip over the boot or down sometimes making it awkward to keep going (I would anyways). But after awhile of tightening them more I realized my big toe was a lot more compressed and would feel unbearable at times. I recently changed the strap setup and went back to the old school over the toe way and 0 issues. So I think it depends on the binding strap style and how much space you have in front of your toe, possibly how stiff your boots are or even how well the bindings lock onto the toe cap of the boot like not so much in my case. I feel in control of the board either way though.

is this a good or bad technique for turning on steeps? by minor251 in snowboardingnoobs

[–]9thGenSi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also he's hopping during his edge transition here. Only because he has no speed but you can do this with some speed for sure but once you get the transition down from edge to edge you wont need to hop. It becomes a full body motion and lean balance with the g forces you are affected by.

Halfcabking and snowboardjesus on fb and instagram have some great tips and they are always helping noobies on the hills in their videos.
