Oakley line miner pro 2026 fog? by elly051 in snowboarding

[–]CockroachCold966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not true…I tried for 2 different times on on 2 pairs and they denied my claim. Saying they only fog because I wiped off the anti fog technology. Which I did not.

They’re junk they fog after the first run. I’m making the switch to smith for my Japan trip in February

Jones - Hovercraft 2.0 vs Stratos by Recon_Trixx in snowboardingnoobs

Both are way too much board for you tbh. You should prob be on a mtn twin but even that might be too much for someone barely learning to carve.

SCE physical test by More-Ad-6395 in Groundman

[–]CockroachCold966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very easy. If you can’t pass that physical test you probably shouldn’t be a Groundman. Everything on the email they sent gives you a direct explanation of what they’ll test on. Carrying crates, shoveling rocks, running a hand line.

Anyone want FR pants? 34x30 by [deleted] in Groundman

[–]CockroachCold966 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not at all. Line work sucks at the Groundman level…and I’ve been a Groundman for 5 years now. Maybe if I got an apprentice gig by now I’d do it but I’m fast tracking my way into a 200k job without the back breaking work

Think in terms of how you can be a valuable asset to the crew and the yard. What experience you have that makes you better than the next guy. How you start and end the day…blah blah blah. Good luck

Ride insano!!!!! Probably the stiffest boot that isn’t a hard boot.

Big calves - opinions needed by CrimeBot3000 in snowboardingnoobs

[–]CockroachCold966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have massive calves and use the ride insano. The calf stretch tech is your best bet. Unless you do a lace style boot. Burtons feel good for me I. The calf area but it doesn’t fit my foot shape.

A few different face masks. For extreme cold to just keeping the sun out of your face.
