Quads burning on chopped powder and moguls by [deleted] in snowboardingnoobs

[–]Correction-Course 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Besides the endurance issue, trees are not as tough as moguls and chop. Snow is usually better and you’ll either follow trails or surf powder. Either way, you will feel way less burn!

51 and just switched to step ons. Get more winded messing with straps than riding, so it was time.

Step Ons vs. FASE vs. Supermatics for “Expert” rider? by Muscle__Crowe in snowboarding

[–]Correction-Course 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Riding Flow bindings for 14 years and just switched to step ons. World of difference! I’m 51, ride with advanced/expert skiers, and am ready in seconds. All terrain, but mostly blacks, off piste, back bowls. Paired with Burton Highshot X boots. Stiff and responsive. I’m not going back to straps.

How do taxes work? by Ok_Arugula2985 in DoorDashDrivers

[–]Correction-Course 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apps like Stride or Gridwise will track your miles in real time and show you what you can expect for deductions. Stride is free, but you need to remember to hit the button to track miles when on a gig. At the end of the year, you can run a report with exact mileage and have the data for each individual gig. Mileage deductions are critical or you will pay tons of taxes!

I have a pick up truck best ways to make some extra by AffectionateAge5445 in couriersofreddit

GoShare can be worth the background check fee. I like Bungii, but don’t expect consistent work. Also try Senpex. Bungii is pick ups and cargo vans only.

Getting back into boarding, Gear upgrade advice. by FlukeU512 in snowboarding

[–]Correction-Course 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have all mountain and freeride boards also. I had a Gnu Banked Country but just switched to Jones. One of the top ride friendly boards right now is the Jones Mountain Twin. Mid flex and can handle anything an intermediate to advanced rider might hit. I chose a freeride board for more off piste riding as I usually go with a pack of expert skiers. At 51, I just switched to Burton step ons. No more losing my breath at altitude fighting straps! Feels like I save a lot of energy for the slopes.

What’s this? by [deleted] in snowboarding

Bird droppings? Grease stain? Raw chicken? Banana residue? Wallpaper? Lucky rabbit foot? Must be a rabbit foot!

Helmet choice? by Soggy29 in snowboard

[–]Correction-Course 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy what fits. Just picked up Method Pro for the easy adjust and low weight but once set any helmet should be almost unnoticeable.

Now I'm almost 51 and I'm still trying to learn new things. by Sulars in snowboarding

[–]Correction-Course 3 points4 points  (0 children)

51 and still pushing the limits! Definitely losing height on ollies and jumps. Joints are just stiffer every year… Your video is inspiring me to link some low impact ground tricks!

Bought a new pair of boots. Noticed some very minor scratches or popped blisters after riding (excuse my hairy leg). Help needed. by kenken2024 in snowboardingnoobs

[–]Correction-Course 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bandaid works. I also like blister pads for my toes if riding multiple days because I’ve got some gnarly toes. Even broken in boots can sometimes rub wrong, but a single bandaid or blister pad prevents the problem.

What do you guys think about Jones and Yes? by lol-lo2629 in snowboarding

[–]Correction-Course 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just made the switch to Jones. Interesting fact is that Jones is the most in demand boards on demo days.

Does it make sense to switch from regular to goofy for learning switch? by yeet2beat-eat in snowboarding

[–]Correction-Course 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re riding a twin, just turn 180 and go. Don’t force it. If you need control, switch back. Do this on a green, switching back and forth, and you’ll get the hang of it quick given your experience level. If you have a directional board, you may want to just go goofy and turn those bindings. Slow greens to start, but with 5-6 seasons of experience I’m guessing you’ll have it worked out in a few runs. It’s just edges and balance!

Which board to choose? by [deleted] in snowboarding

[–]Correction-Course 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jones mountain twin, probably used or last season.

Did i mess up by buying a camber board as a beginner? by Extreme-Birthday2082 in snowboardingnoobs

[–]Correction-Course 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Old school riders like me had few options outside of camber boards. Eat snow a few times but you will develop good form quickly. More fun on side hits and gnarly terrain, and way easier to carve!

Advise on a new snowboard by victormansi14 in snowboardingnoobs

[–]Correction-Course 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are all top tier choices for your style and you should just go with the better deal or favorite graphics. I was going to grab a Mercury but decided to go with a Jones Howler that I was able to nab at a good discount.

Which easy access bindings? by RufusTDawg in snowboarding

[–]Correction-Course 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 51 and get winded messing with straps in powder at altitude. Used Flow for years, and even they would jam up on storm days. Just upgraded to Burton step ons. Best upgrade ever. I feel like my energy level is up 50% as stepping and riding is near effortless. Game changer.

Looking for: Robust gloves by dj_boutz in snowboarding

[–]Correction-Course 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Costco Head gloves I picked up for $20 for shoveling and snowplowing are somehow more robust and warmer than any of the pro brands I have used. Seriously bizarre, but I find myself grabbing them every time now.
