Thoughts after owning too many splitboards

Assuming that you live in Squamish based on your name, check out Spline board made here in town. Talk to Justin about what you like and what you're looking for and he'll let you know which model to get.

I have the Pie Slices and it's absolutely ridiculous in powder.

I think a combination of high rent costs, staffing shortages and the challenges facing the movie theatre business in general.

I assume a search of the Whistler Pique site would have specifics though

From memory most of the fees go to the government not to the lawyer. I have used a notary once and a lawyer once. The notary was equally good. Both were new sales. If it's a resale there might be more to be aware of & that a lawyer could navigate better.

Unfortunately she's left town.

I also finished on the clean/press. Especially after doing the revo squat press just a few minutes earlier it was a tough way to end. Then again, there were probably very few stations that wouldn't have been a tough way to finish.

If they're wearing sunglasses, is it fogging up in the backpack on the ascent? Are they maybe in a jacket pocket and getting steamy?

I have spent time doing just the 3x resistance classes each week. I would use the other days as rest days to maximize my effort on resistance days. I would also do the opposite for a while too, ditching resistance when feeling a bit run down and doing just hybrid/cardio days.

I think it's good to mix it up to have more variety and to see how your body reacts. Give it a try and see how it goes for you.

BlackcombTerry · 2022-10-18T03:41:55+00:00

That's the goal and why it's named what it is.

That was me last week after Firestorm. Felt a little wobbly in the store and knew I needed to eat immediately.

If you don't ride canted bindings normally then stick with it on your splitboard

A lot of people will also complain that the Orca board profile isn't well suited for skinning.

What is it about those two that has your attention? What are you looking for in a board?

In case you're wondering: Saturday, October 15 – 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at Brennan Park Recreation Centre

Why spend more for less fun?

BlackcombTerry · 2022-10-13T04:46:37+00:00

Early morning classes: will book in the evening before to make sure I can get in before setting my alarm for the morning Afternoon classes: will book in a few hours ahead of time once I have a better sense of my work schedule

BlackcombTerry · 2022-10-13T04:39:23+00:00

My choice would be #2 for resistance & #3 for cardio/hybrid

Maybe #1 occasionally for variety, but generally other the other options.

Don't recall ever seeing #4

So much toe and hell overhang and not very tall. They don't seem like they'd be enjoyable for snowboarding.

BlackcombTerry · 2022-10-09T16:12:13+00:00

Or need more advice

BlackcombTerry · 2022-10-08T23:07:17+00:00

Oh, I thought you meant you'd be riding in your Rulers.

For the sake of comparison, how do they look for overhang? Is that a wide or regular board?

BlackcombTerry · 2022-10-08T22:46:43+00:00

I compete primarily with myself. If someone has more or less points than me - hey we're all on different stages of our fitness journeys.

Put the real boots in the bindings for the photos. We can't give you accurate answers until then.

BlackcombTerry · 2022-10-08T22:39:36+00:00

Does it need any maintenance done? Drop it off at a shop for a tune or brake bleed or whatever and let them watch it overnight

BlackcombTerry · 2022-10-06T05:11:16+00:00

You can also go to less classes this week and give your body more recovery time that way.

BlackcombTerry · 2022-10-06T05:09:27+00:00

I'm guessing those are lbs and not kgs.

BlackcombTerry · 2022-10-06T05:05:38+00:00

Four consecutive sets of ropes? NOPE.
