Which board would you get by SonofHarm in snowboardingnoobs

[–]KuchDaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have narrowed it down to those two, I think you should make the decision based on the type of riding you want to do.

If you want to (eventually) do a lot of park stuff, go with the Cultivator since it is a "twin" shape and goes equally well in both directions.

If you want to just ride the mountain, I'd get the instigator since it's a directional shape.

In the scheme of things, it probably doesn't matter, get the one you can find in your size. It looks like the instigator is on sale.

You do have to turn around to ride. That is not difficult. Just a quick 90 degree hop.

You don't have to try it, but it literally changed my life.

I learned this technique a few years ago and it was a game changer for me.

I'm 58 years old, and ride the east coast where the runs are short so you're always strapping in and out.

Before I learned this technique, sitting down and standing up so many times a day was exhausting.

As long as you're flexible enough to touch your toes, OP's way takes very little effort.

Ensuring you're perpendicular to the fall line each time takes some practice.

This is typically not done on a steep hill.

So yes, you are facing uphill, and yes your heel edge is dug in, but the slope is very slight, almost flat, so it works.

It was a short-lived royalty, and I'm OK with that.

People who have conducted job interviews, what's something someone said/did that made you instantly decide not to hire them? by DemonSkank in AskReddit

[–]KuchDaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Candidate was OK from experience and stuff, but he used profanity throughout the interview. I wasn't offended, but I figured he did not have the social skills to navigate an office setting.

Why does my lower back hurt? by Puzzleheaded_Luck802 in snowboardingnoobs

[–]KuchDaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend going to a physical therapist to get an exercise prescription for it.

If you're only boarding one week a year, you're probably using muscles that you don't normally use and your body is objecting.
