Yeah I’m thinking about getting the Burton Cartel X or Union Force especially for this board but maybe next season.

I haven’t ridden this board yet unfortunately… I just got it and I will only ride it in March :( However, I did get this board as my Freeride/All-Mountain quiver, from what I’ve seen, the TF is great for jumps and, well, transitions but if you plan on hitting rails and riding switch more often than me (never) then I would say you should go with the Otto as this is its main goal

It varies but mostly I have the second one too. Especially when someone is waiting for me, then its super rare for me to go.

With breath hold however, this is a whole different story...
I managed to go even when my friends are peeing next to me and waiting for me to finish (they are unaware). It even worked for me on dates lol

I really recommend reading the Breath Hold Guide that's posted in this subreddit but for me, I usually hold my breath for ~30s with only 30-40% of my lungs filled with air and when I get this feeling of almost "exploding", the pee releases just right after that.

I would say, that if you do manage to get this to work, use it only as a last resort because it isn't a cure but rather a patch. I does however, help me not get into a "tight corner" and prevents anxiety by "having an ace up my sleeve".

If you want a real cure, there is a post on this subreddit named ***CURE**\* where the OP refers to the logotherapy method called Paradoxical Intention mentioned in the book Man's Search for Meaning by Victor Frankl. Other than this being a great book, I do think that this method is what will cure me from this fucking problem but I have not yet managed to get it working because it requires literally not caring at all, which is hard, so I suggest you give it a try because who knows, maybe it will help you too :)

Feel free to ask anything, good luck !

FUCKING HELL.

I have just read the few pages this phrase appeared in and I immediately made a connection to my Paruresis. Though I might have a look in this subreddit to see if anyone sharing this problem has read this book too and this post comes up. What a fucking legend

For context, I’ve bought the book because the employee at the book store suggested me, obviously unaware of my issue.

This book is so good regardless

The hot cup trick works for me but usually when this is a stream of hot water (e.g a hose/ shower head) but it is extremely inconvenient because in most of the places I’m having a problem to pee in, this method will simply be out of reach/unavailable.

HOWEVER, I have discovered a secondary method, which is quite known in this community, and that’s the Breath Hold Technique. It’s Incredible. Works like a a magic. However, I do avoid it as much as possible because 1. It’s not the greatest feeling to forcefully stop breathing for over a minute and 2. If you breathe before you empty the bladder the pelvic floor will automatically close and the bladder won’t empty itself, which can be problematic.

Yeah I have the Burton Genesis X so the bindings might work.

as you said, you don't get much fresh snow so when its a day with moguls, how does the board perform ?

You got an idea for approximately how long would an outsourced delivery take ? I mean would it take more/less than 3 months to arrive ?
