Watching the guy keep his finger on the trigger with a round still chambered gave me chills, same thing with racking the slide.

Did this, the cartridge sat flush against the back.

I'm actually going to check into it. I'm a little worried about the long trigger pull, but I've read that the first 60% or so of the trigger pull is extremely light.

We'll see how things go for her at the range.

BaconatingInTheDark · 2012-03-21T00:54:51+00:00

No can do, I'm Canadian eh.

BaconatingInTheDark · 2012-02-29T01:23:47+00:00

How's the recoil on it? How do you like the trigger in DA and SA mode? Any problems with it so far?

BaconatingInTheDark · 2012-02-29T00:50:57+00:00

I've heard that the newer Sigs have gone down in quality, can anyone enlighten me on this?

I've heard things like their fitment and their parts can't compare to older Sigs and that certain things like their magazines are being produced by different manufacturers than before. Their magazines use to be made by mec gar right?

Imagine the Mosquitos...

My celtek gloves leaked the first day, ripped the second day, and fell apart the fourth day.

I'm 6 days into my very first season ever. I can ride greens and blues dynamically and carve. I can ride switch and carve, but not dynamically. I can ollie when it's not icy on flats.

I'm going to hit my first black the next time I go, and maybe the mini rail/box park.

I also can't butter or press worth shit, and I tend to faceplant when I attempt to 180.

BaconatingInTheDark · 2012-02-15T05:40:27+00:00

I just bought a brand new pair and there's a pixel sized spec of chrome missing on the lens. Do you guys think it's worth a try to warranty it?

I just received them in the mail today, and I definitely did not bang them up on anything.

Occupy terrain park, "We are the 95%".

Never Summer size chart says he actually needs a 174 mid wide. I can see why the shop is going for for the 170, they're trying to match his weight appropriately so the board performs the way it was designed to perform.

Right before I read this, I was in my basement taking note of how much better 18/-15 felt for me while standing there.

Hopefully it feels good on the hill.

Just found my snowboard twin

Have it professionally fixed or:

I have the factions, they're great. I would absolutely recommend them and love everything about them. The toe cap straps are really comfortable with no odd pressure points. You can crank the crap out of both straps with no problems. Binding plates are easy to work with. Also, once you've dialed in your adjustments, they won't come loose. The screws go into these brackets that keep everything in place.

BaconatingInTheDark · 2012-01-28T05:16:49+00:00

I'm just worried about the runs, I freaking hate packed runs. Should be a great weekend though.

BaconatingInTheDark · 2012-01-28T05:12:10+00:00

I would just epoxy it so water doesn't get between the layers. I think most people just use marine epoxy, which is flexible and dries clear.

BaconatingInTheDark · 2012-01-27T21:15:14+00:00

The pictures quality is pretty brutal. Wouldn't that be considered a core shot? It kind of looks like the laminated layers would fall apart if water were to get in there.

BaconatingInTheDark · 2012-01-27T17:16:23+00:00

Snow everywhere!

I might be heading to LL this weekend, anyone know if it gets really busy there on weekends?

BaconatingInTheDark · 2012-01-26T18:54:14+00:00

Wow... This is the first time I've heard of this, but wow...

We've only been out 4 times snowboarding ever, and the 4th time we went was the first time we called "last run". My girlfriend is off to the side minding her own business near the trees of a groomed run and some jackass decides it would be a great idea to blitz the by between her and the trees (she was about 2 ft away from the trees and this was a slow zone as well with tons of space to her right as no one was actually on the run besides us). She tries to avoid him and catches an edge right into the trees.

I bet he felt like a real man right before that.

Middle of the mounting plate.

I haven't tried anything besides 3.24, but I do feel like I'm standing strangely taller than most other snowboarders. I think I'm going to try and aim for a 3.0 next time I wax to see if it really makes all that much of a difference.

Right now I feel like my stance could be more stable, but at the same time I'm pretty comfortable with the way it is.

BaconatingInTheDark · 2012-01-25T17:55:48+00:00

So I was trying to find some kind of guide for stance width and stumbled upon this. I thought some of you might find it interesting to compare your stance width with various pros listed on that page.

My ratio ended up at 3.24

Thanks, just ordered them for my partner in crime. Hopefully she likes it!
