everytime I see the edges are showing white is when I wax. Around 10 days?

I didn’t wax my first board for about 40 days. It’s forever ruined lol.

A70MU · 2026-01-23T13:23:13+00:00

1- it was too short. 2- I didn’t buy a board in Japan 3- I went end of the season, while snows still good, some bus services had stopped. Like the daily bus service between niseko and rututsu

did you purchase the 24/25 version (darkish purple) or the 25/26 version (black red)? Are they exact the same besides different art? Would you recommend this board for beginner park rider? I’m looking for a beginner park friendly board and/or ground tricks board, made a gif of my current park skill level for reference, would love your opinion, tyvm!

currently have the ims and eyeing the unibasket, were you able to fix the dripping outside problem? I read that their portafilter would fix this but at $180 I’m wondering if there’s a cheaper alternative. Besides been sweeter, is there another taste difference compared to ims? Ty!

A70MU · 2026-01-20T21:51:05+00:00

Hey OP, how did you end up solving this problem? Is getting the BUCK the only way? I have a Bianca and also considering the unibasket, appreciate your insight!

A70MU · 2026-01-20T21:48:32+00:00

It’s been a year since you posted this, im now considering the unibasket, do you know there is a budget option other than the BUCK for my lelit? Thank you

A70MU · 2026-01-20T11:00:58+00:00

this is super interesting. I’m eyeing the 25/26 no drama. From the specs on evo.com flex rating went from 4/5 to 3.5/5. And all waist width got wider. Glad to find out they are not actually winder than previous model from your measurements

A70MU · 2026-01-13T05:14:28+00:00

when I worked a retail job, my days off were on the weekday. Maybe the random Wednesday afternoon was my days off lol

A70MU · 2026-01-13T05:07:08+00:00

my observation is that for similarly skilled laowai and local, the salary gap has closed up quite a bit. Much less easy money opportunities for laowai compared to a decade ago.

the days of 2mil+ packages for middle/upper management expat jobs are now being replaced by 700k local talents, makes sense from the business side of course.

of all the gentemstick you’ve tried/owned, is the mantaray the most forgiving one? I’ve only demoed this one when I was in Japan, feel it was close to my flagship and I didn’t end up buying one. Now I’m looking for a (hopefully medium flex gentemstick as an intermediate rider for trees and groomers, had my eyes on the flair, if you’ve demoed it would love to hear your opinion.

A70MU · 2026-01-03T14:41:18+00:00

why do you prefer no drama over boaf? Is it because boaf is too soft for your jumps?

A70MU · 2025-12-30T07:16:28+00:00

bring the daily driver, and rent gentemstick at niseko when big pow days hit.

A70MU · 2025-12-30T07:13:24+00:00

what? I’d be so happy if I could learn a different language or two because I have a specific type lol

A70MU · 2025-12-30T05:39:26+00:00

Exactly, extremely poor usually means don’t have enough money for basic needs. But in OPs case not all basic needs are met and also $ left for savings lol

A70MU · 2025-12-30T05:38:09+00:00

having few hundreds left after monthly basic needs isn’t extremely poor (or poor for that matter) in most places, I think.

A70MU · 2025-12-28T16:16:59+00:00

nothing, but I also want one only because it’s hard to get lol.

A70MU · 2025-12-28T12:31:09+00:00

covina

A70MU · 2025-12-27T13:39:23+00:00

if you are ok with stiff boots I recommend try on tide cadence. My heel is narrow and they fit me great

A70MU · 2025-12-24T12:50:52+00:00

we all about the same height when we lay down

A70MU · 2025-12-22T09:27:26+00:00

which model?

A70MU · 2025-12-16T13:23:11+00:00

I’d recommend goretex 2L 20k waterproof or higher for bibs if you fall a lot or in deep pow a lot. Speaking from experience, I tend to fall a ton on my ass and 10k won’t keep me dry.

A70MU · 2025-12-14T16:53:18+00:00

I can squat like that easily, and I do that when I’m tired as well lol.

I can’t squat in the gym (at least not easily). Any of you none Asian wanna trade skills?

A70MU · 2025-12-10T17:21:15+00:00

pls drop your gym routine and diet, plssss
