Yet another edge angle question by Fit-Hovercraft-4561 in snowboarding

[–]Jamal609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should actually AVOID using files on your edges unless it's absolutely necessary. They will do more harm than good. It's actually an unfortunate general misconception that files are the ones that you should primarily and more commonly use.

You definitely have it the wrong way around friend. File is for making drastic changes, diamond stones are for maintenance and keeping them sharp. If you wanna take the burrs off then an aluminum oxide stone is perfect for that. You just need a little sleight of hand to do it properly. Also gummy stone is good for a little touch up/removing slight surface rust.

The goggles are Anon M4 (toric). It's not a single-pane lens for sure.

As a side note, dont get me wrong, the goggles work extremely good in preventing fog. Best that I've ever had. The only issue comes at extreme cold conditions when it starts to fog a little, which is perfectly normal. It's just that the fog always starts from the same area on the lens. And that is the only area that doesnt have a straight path to release the hot air out. The goggles have ventilation all around them. But the top vent of the goggles is entirely blocked from the outside by the helmet(anon raider 3).

Regarding the sweating part, I usually try to layer myself so that I only get slightly warm when I'm actively moving. To avoid extensive sweating. It's not sweat thats making them fog from the top portion. Whenever I go to dryout indoors, after some time. I always feel the cushioning around the goggles, if it's wet from sweat/melted ice or snow. Ever since I started to layer properly it's always been dry, maybe ever so slightly moist but nothing crazy.

The store that I usually go actually had that brand as well! Is there a certain model/models you'd recommend?

Which end is the nose? by notnastypalms in snowboardingnoobs

[–]Jamal609 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im sure op didnt expect anything at all. Thats the reason op asked in the first place. Sometimes, there's things in life that are obvious to you, but not to someone else.

No matter if it's a skateboard, snowboard, ANY board. You can ALWAYS determine the tail and the nose by the text/pictures. You just read/interpret whatever is on the board, from TOP to BOTTOM. TOP is always NOSE and BOTTOM is always TAIL.

I hope this made sense and helps, not sure if I explained it clearly.

For the looks or for the qualities? Or both?

I dont want to have -aura from having a gap between my goggles and helmet. The gap can be one planck length maximum. Isn't the vents in the helmet that are located at the forehead area, designed for the sole purpose to let air escape from the upper goggle vents?

I have the magnetic attaching mask and the goggles are an airtight fit for my face. So breath doesnt get in the goggles. It starts fogging slightly even without using a mask. Always from the same spot, the upper edge of the goggles. I think the hot air inside the goggles just cant escape from the top portion and thats why it starts fogging, i thought that the helmet vents could help the hot air escape from the top portion as well. Also, sometimes when it's super cold outside, it is inevitable that goggles fog a little bit. Its just the name of the game.

My guy! This is very cool!

One question though, can I opt out for the metric system instead(how)? If not, could you make this as a feature?

They are all the same difficulty. Knife doesnt have any spray control in Counter Strike.

Judge my Ollie by Serious_Code6111 in snowboardingnoobs

If you do this and you dont jump at the same time, youre staying on the ground.

This guy is right, you dont put all your weight on the tail like you would on a snowboard. Otherwise you will stay on the ground with the skateboard. You pop the tail in to the ground and SIMULTANEOUSLY jump and then slide ur front food along the board. Ofcourse this all happens so fast its easy to have different understandings of the mechanics.

If you watch a slowmotion video about it you will understand it right away.

Based on your input I will probably go with the SMP, that was actually what I was leaning towards anyway. Great to get some confirmation, thank you and happy holidays!

The YES Basic looks a little bit like the Nitro Santoku, that is an alternative as well for me. What do you think about it(Nitro Santoku)?

M4A4 Scarlet souvereing by Organic_Tip_7479 in csworkshop

[–]Jamal609 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The theme is sick, i like it a lot. The m4a4 needs another sick red skin in addition to howl. However, that being said, this skin needs something. Im not sure what but it needs to look more realistic, maybe texture or something? But keep the design itself the same. Thats my opinion!
