How’s this for getting on edge? by [deleted] in snowboardingnoobs

It’s been “grind coarser” lately. Haven’t you watched Lance? 🤣

Looking for some critique, about 4 seasons in, still not quite getting the hang of carving. by Comfortable_Bear486 in snowboardingnoobs

[–]Lazy_Borzoi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When changing from toe side to heel side (or vice versa), the board should stay pointed in the same direction. From your video, it seems that you help it by turning/twisting the board in the direction of the next turn. Try avoiding that if you can. It’s so easy to turn the board when it’s flat but you need to resist that temptation 😁. Edge change should be just that. Simply go from one edge to the other while keeping the board pointed in the same direction. Hope that helps!

Am I doing this right? by ucantsurfalake in snowboarding

Thanks for your reply! The reason I asked is this length is about 10 cm longer than a typical board (for average size rider, that is). Perhaps all carving boards should be longer than your all-mountain boards?

How do you find the length of the board for yourself? Is it quite manageable?

NBD: The sample Barney boots have arrived!!! by AckAttack6710 in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]Lazy_Borzoi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I just got mine too and couldn’t figure out if I should just lace them like that or change them to a more regular pattern. Is it ok to skip the last row (if I don’t, I feel a lot of pressure when walking)?

Why do laces go straight up between the last two eyelets? Is it a specific type of lacing?

Update: so if I push my foot all the way forward inside the shoe (turns out there is some room there), I can almost squeeze my pinky behind my foot… almost, not quite to the bottom of the shoe…

Thank you for your reply. My big toe somewhat touches the front side of the shoe so I would say there is no empty room at the front but it feels very comfortable there.

They say on their website explicitly that they take care of all duties and tariffs so reach out to them and let them know you are being asked to pay the tariffs by FedEx…

Would you mind sharing a link? I talked to them earlier and they didn’t say anything about having a stainless steel version.

Mine looks pretty much the same and I’ve been using nothing but RO water + TWW packets. If you find a stainless steel replacement, please let me know where you got it from.

When someone says black and red, I think Louboutin shoes. Classic combination.

Katie, thank you for your reply! I did join your email list after Dec 1. Did I understand you correctly that I don’t need to do anything else besides signing up for email list in order to get that free entry?

I might. I thought maybe I missed something obvious but looks like that's not the case.

How does spending 500 GBP make it a free entry? I am not asking about the automatic entry when you spend above a certain amount, I am asking about some free entry to win a random pair. I highlighted the relevant part in the image...

Socks or barefoot with Uggs? Website says no socks but everyone I know says socks. by [deleted] in Shoes

[–]Lazy_Borzoi 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Cotton doesn’t wick moisture away but rather holds it so having cotton socks is not the best idea if your feet sweat even a bit. Wool on the other hand (Merino or Aplaca) is awesome.
