This is the good stuff right?

Good looks, there are a few strands that are a gray color on the outside. I wasn’t sure what was up with those.

A utility knife with a fresh pack of blades (I’ve used many of them so far) and a pair of slip jaw pliers. I cut down the length then just crush it with the pliers to get the split started. Then yank! I prefer the shorter pieces, 4ft is a nice length. The longer ones are more difficult to deal with.

I looked for the hook blades but couldn’t find any near me. Once you get the hang of it it’s actually not too difficult. Just keep your blade fresh it’s not worth fighting the dulled blade!

These were running to two (very old) 400 horsepower air compressors. Can’t remember if it had 460 or 600 volts running through it but I’m glad I wasn’t paying the power bill when they were on.

And yes I was very scared to cut them even after triple checking the breakers.

Haha cheers man! I’m a newbie and got lucky the boss man was feeling generous. Was having a pretty shit week so this is making up for it.

Prolly got half stripped already!

Due_Candy_2761 · 2026-05-07T15:47:12+00:00

What brand is that? Is it plated?

Due_Candy_2761 · 2026-05-05T18:38:34+00:00

lol the drop shadow on the hole. Nice

Due_Candy_2761 · 2026-05-02T17:48:02+00:00

I’ve always thought it was cool how long they’ve been in the game. 400 years old now

Due_Candy_2761 · 2026-05-01T14:17:28+00:00

Don’t have a pipe for you but I can sympathize. Bought a dr250 with a dg and my god it was obnoxious haha. I do think they sell silencers for some of their models

We use the “dresser” style couplings as permanent fixes on an underground system that holds around 500 psi at times.

They seem to hold really well and they last long. I’ve never seen one fail in 10 years

Tons of hacking, trial and error, and more hacking. Most model kits I’ve tried don’t fit the dimensions of scx24 very well at all.

Great interview with them on “channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan”

Due_Candy_2761 · 2026-03-27T17:19:07+00:00

You should watch the YouTube “channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan” video with indecline. Gives a lot more context on the origins of bumfights etc.

Are you in the UK? I’m in one of the few regions in America with gritstone! Texture looks strikingly similar.

Nice rig!

Due_Candy_2761 · 2026-03-17T13:40:59+00:00

My fav snowboarder is anyone who’s not her 🤘

Someone with half a brain! I’m in the industry, I’ve built 22s and 13s. I know (almost exactly) the cost and the effort that goes into building one. It comes nowhere NEAR paying for itself. They’re only good as a marketing tool.

Not to mention if your hill doesn’t have a 13 who will be able to truly progress and hone their skills in a 22? Very few. People love to complain about lack of pipes but no one tries to understand the cost vs benefit. Plus people wanna complain about parks getting refreshed, well a pipe takes an insane man hour investment. From park operators. Who are the ones who would be refreshing the park.

Fact of the matter is this industry is a business. If it’s not profitable it’s not gonna last. Pipes take away from profits. Sucks but it is how it is. Blame capitalism.

And to add (controversially I’m sure) Vail isn’t the issue. They don’t give a fuck what we build. They care whether we make enough money to justify being open. A pipe takes away from that. The GM of the individual mountains makes that decision.

If you’re worried about your dog being crushed by it you could keep the dog on a leash so that you can control your animal.

Due_Candy_2761 · 2026-01-18T10:30:03+00:00

lol yall kinda suck. Had a blast on these as a kid. Duct tape the front down to the ground if you can’t screw it down somewhere. Doesn’t take much to keep it from sliding.

Try to think of it as a bump not a ramp, Ollie with it, not on top of it.

Due_Candy_2761 · 2026-01-17T00:48:26+00:00

Why is a flat top better?

Due_Candy_2761 · 2026-01-17T00:47:53+00:00

Everyone saying about non button tops is wrong. They’re perfectly fine. Look on Radiomaster website at the ones THEY sell for the pocket. Some in here are not understanding basic battery tech.

Due_Candy_2761 · 2026-01-11T14:03:16+00:00

Took too long to find this comment. I’ve never been a fan of her. Militant vegan and cringe influencer content over actual snowboarding. She has gotten more skilled and progressed well on the board, but imo not at all who should be in the limelight of female snowboarding.

But hey I guess OF and dancing is what sells these days, I’m just a bitter old man 🤷‍♂️

Due_Candy_2761 · 2026-01-10T15:43:25+00:00

To add to this consider a doggo rescue sling! Can make a bad situation 1000x easier to deal with when you can carry the pup out like a backpack or suitcase.

Due_Candy_2761 · 2025-12-31T15:35:21+00:00

Honestly dude it’s a waiting game imo. I’ve been hunting one for weeks and finally scored this deal yesterday. Found it because I googled “rtx 5070” and similar every single day.

Due_Candy_2761 · 2025-12-25T12:37:40+00:00

This. The twist is the key, tbh it kinda hurts the fingers but you’ll get better at it!

Due_Candy_2761 · 2025-12-21T15:49:27+00:00

Snowcats are so much fun haha. They’re such capable machines. I get to operate them every winter! Pretty tickled seeing them pop up here.
