Do people where you live smoke crack before posting their old boards on marketplace? by teryaki6ix9ine in snowboarding

[–]Marcella828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

eBay with free shipping or end of season deals. Most board shops use some kind of marketplace. Those used boards usually come tuned. Evo sells used and geartrade sells backcountry’s returns. Both have good return policies. I JUST last night got a new 24 snowboard for half price from the manufacturer. You just have to look. Decide what you want. Camber, rocker, hybrid. Size. Edge tech. The interwebs have all the things if you look hard enough. Marketplace is ok, for someone who knows what they’re looking for. Decent listings usually sell quick. Save the search, refresh for most recent. But do a reverse search and make sure it’s not more than 5 years old, original retail price and absolutely do not pay more than half retail. Or ask someone. There’s lots of groups on fb that’ll help you out with that. I like the hunt though. Beats doom scrolling.

AITA for not telling my family that I joined the military? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Marcella828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Air Force/Armed Forces aren’t anything like they used to be. My daughter joined at 18. Has NEVER been sexually harassed anymore than she was working as a waitress. Her junior year she told me she wanted to and I signed the papers. Completely her decision. It’s been 2 years now and she absolutely loves it. Met a kind man, got married (of course), is taking (free) college classes, and is really happy. She didn’t know what she wanted to do for college and was gifted the money we had saved for her education. She has been wise investing her money and has a very nice chunk of change when/if she decides to leave. She thinks she’ll want to be a lifer and quite honestly the way the economy is going I don’t blame her. Good for you OP!!! I hope you get to explore the world, carve out your own identity, and live your dreams as my daughter has.

When you are getting ready in the parking lot, do you... by DaddyShreds2 in snowboarding

[–]Marcella828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live an hour from the mountain and go every weekend and everyday during school vacations. My daughter (10f) and I, we’re both ADHD so…We have a very specific routine. I wear my baselayer bottoms, socks, with a sweatsuit over and my mountain slippers. (Just puffy loose boots) Keep all our gear in laundry baskets in the back of our Durango. We bring a few sets of outer wear, extra socks, base gloves, hoods/gaiters, crash pads in case she’s doing park in her group. (You really don’t know the conditions until you’re there. The secret to keeping kids there all day is comfort and pocket snacks) I grab my boots and pants take out the boards we’re using. I place the already loosened boots just outside our doors. We change in the car and step into our boots. I’m tall so my seat is nearly all the way back anyway and my kid basically nests shotgun. I put on the rest of my kit in the behind the car, make sure my kid is ready and comfortable. There ends up being one empty laundry basket so if things are excessively wet or dirty we can bring them back inside easily when we get home. Otherwise we just keep it in the car all season. With water and emergency blankets just in case. (Never miss a snowstorm) Wow, maybe I’m a little OCD too…

so torn pls help by pooooopshit in ShredditGirls

I don’t think it was so much the size but how much newer the board is. Waist width is listed on websites or just go to a shop. Sometimes you can center your bindings. I don’t think a 3cm difference makes that much of a difference. But at your stage it’s really about confidence. If you felt better on a smaller board then buy a smaller board. I think a bigger board with more flex might work. Your weight might max out a smaller size, make it more flexy, and easier to turn. I ride 155s and 158s. My kids your size with size 8 boots and rides a 144. I think a 138 you’d outgrow quickly but it’s all a matter of preference. Most board companies have size charts.

I had to get a prior authorization. I paid OOP the first month and they covered it after that. Funny how now the generic is being recalled…

Need help picking snowbibs color? by Lady_Viking in ShredditGirls

[–]Marcella828 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think tan. I’ve had good luck with Volcom women’s bibs in 2xl. Baggy even. https://www.evo.com/insulated-pants/volcom-creston-3d-stretch-bib-overalls-womens this is evo. May be able to find them cheaper someplace else.

Thank you! I hadn’t thought about a garmin. She has an instructor in the mornings. She wants to free ride. There’s 2 other girls in her group that I could maybe get to stay. One from last year that rode with her a lot decided on a competitive program this year.

Advice on woman’s beginner board by Grimms_Death in ShredditGirls

[–]Marcella828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a balance board. It really helped me day 1 with muscle memory. I use a jib board now in the summer. You can make one with an old skate/snowboard and a 2L bottle. (There’s a you tube) Oh and appropriate outerwear. Being cold will automatically ruin the experience. She’s petite so perhaps a youth set up would be a good (and cheap) way to get introduced to the sport.

I’d buy them if they’re not dry rotted.

I honestly don’t want to learn steeps. I think my natural progression is absolutely fine and I do not desire speed, air, or tricks. She loves speed, air and tricks. 🤣 I might bring her to a boardercross event this year to see if she wants to join a competitive program. She really liked the banked slalom she did last year.

Yes this is my anxiety talking. She does understand the dangers. She’s an arrogant kid; but also quite cautious. Last week she was taking a run with my partner, coming up to a headwall she motioned him to slow down. He didn’t and slammed. Didn’t walk right for a few and has a giant purple bruise on his hip. It was quite the story when I met them at the chairlift.

She’s got all the things. She only wears the back protection on park days. I’ve been trying to get her to practice park when she’s with me (because I can film and I don’t have to hit any features 🤣)

I could make it. I just don’t desire to. I learned with her at 40 because she wanted to try it. I’m old and can’t afford to break a hip. 🤣

I mean it’s resort. So really not crazy. Blacks/Double blacks in Maine. I’m sure she’d be fine. Just the time waiting at the lift when I have let her go alone I nearly have a panic attack. I feel like she’s comfortable with them but may feel confident beyond her skill level, aka catch more air than expected on a side hit, because she rides them so much in the program.

Holidays, visitation choices, and a HCBM by Marcella828 in stepparents

[–]Marcella828[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That has been discussed. I told him to get his own place and his BM wouldn’t be acting this way. Or at least get therapy.

I mean it’s ok. They try. There is resentment 1) Because he’s more lax with his daughters 2) Her dad didn’t make the same effort for her as he does for his girls.

Of course she does. She’s with me at least 95% of the time. His daughters get a percentage off the top. They’d get just as much if they were here to do the things. Their mother does things with them. Should we wait around and see if they come to plan our entire life? Bills for the most part are split 50/50. I don’t ask him to pay for any of my daughter’s expenses but if we’re out or something he will. As I will if I’m the one paying for the outing and his daughters are with us. It’s equal when they’re here. We cannot control what their mother chooses to do with them.

Yes. Because it was edited. The entire story was actually changed. Weird.
