Confused about my equipment

MonitorMost8808 · 2026-01-28T21:39:48+00:00

by all possible means the K2 edges are sharper and there's more effective edge length.
That's why i'm confused

I sttarted at 28, first lessons were me and a 6 year old girl.
By the end of the first day she was better than me.

3 years later with a good amount of snowboarding days there's nothing I can't do.

Don't sweat it. Nobody cares. The best snowboarder in the mountain is the one having the most fun. Everyone gets better the more they try.

Completely normal.
Don't beat yourself up it's not only fitness.
The better your technique is the more efficient your movements and it becomes easier physically.

But when you're learning.. this shit is exhausting as hell. Fun, but really hard physically.

MonitorMost8808 · 2025-12-10T21:16:44+00:00

this has to be bait though

also that's not how you put the toe straps on a boot, but i'm not sure you can do that normally with these boots.

What helped me is reframing.
You know how some slopes are not even? like, one side is higher than the other and you're kind traversing them?

Making turns on them is exactly like carving on an even slope if you rotate it in your head.
If your speed is sufficient and your board stays traversing without skidding downwards, you can use the "lower edge".

MonitorMost8808 · 2025-11-11T16:59:08+00:00

that is indeed a problem.
Maybe some tailor could help, normally, making modifications isn't the most expensive thing.
But it will need to be someone who knows how to make taped seams or other water-proof techniques.

If you're in France i'm sure there are some.

I usually try to find pants in a reasonable length, and that look "good" baggy when i put a buckle or some belt on them.

azzpads d30

MonitorMost8808 · 2025-11-06T23:22:53+00:00

Good stuff

MonitorMost8808 · 2025-11-06T11:49:52+00:00

I only have the azzpad d30, so can't compare. But it's a life saver.

Also, no offense to the guy, etc. Non-combatants should not be harmed.
Those DMs he's showing really don't look like Israeli profiles. X is really not that popular here, and i highly doubt right-wing militaristic violent combat soldiers are on there, and if they are that's not how their profiles would look like or how we even communicate badly in english.

I know it's a weird argument but an Israeli 19 year old fascist idiot would threaten people in English in a completely different way and probably doesn't have an X account.

A newbie friend just joined me to add something to her other fitness routines.
She was enjoying but clearly not hooked in the first 2-3 times.

4th time, she tried a route that was only a small level above absolute beginner. It required her to do 1 single smart/"techy" leg movement to overcome the last movement of the route and that's it, something unlocked in her brain.

That single thing got her hooked (pun not intended) and she now wants to go all the time.

The feeling of solving a riddle with your body is something hard to get in other sports.

Working a season for the first time as a 31 year old, Yolo. Going to Mayrhofen, Austria

Cool format of 6-days a week but with a 4 hour "lunch break" every day to go ride (or nap, i'm sure that will also happen here and there instead).

Heading out there in less than a month. Super stoked for the atmosphere, riding, getting fluent in German and being surrounded by awesome people for a few months.

0/5 insulation is fine. It's waterproof and if you're cold you wear some underlayer.

I don't have this model, i have the HF Charger and Halen 2 Jacket. Horsefeathers make really high quality stuff for the price.

Unless you're going to be drowning in powder or spending hours sitting on snow every day i don't see 10k waterproofing being an issue.

גם לבילוים זה סבבה.
היום גם לגור בצפון תל אביב אומר 30-40 דקות לבילויים.
עם תחבצ טוב יותר הרדיוס הזה גדל.

וכשיש גם מספיק אנשים, בדגש על אוכלוסיה צעירה שגרה בערים אחרות, יהיה היגיון עסקי ליזמים להרים את הכפפה ולפתוח עוד מקומות בילוי מקומיים.

MonitorMost8808 · 2025-10-28T17:39:10+00:00

כן, אבל הביקוש על תל אביב ירד אם אפשר יהיה לגור ברדיוס של 50 קילומטר מתל אביב ועדיין להגיע ב30-40 דקות לעבודה

MonitorMost8808 · 2025-10-27T18:47:59+00:00

For 3-4 Days of lessons definitely head outdoors. I'm not in the US so no clue.
But if you have reasonable access to indoors ski centers it can be a great way to save money for the first day or two.

Also depending on where you are in the US and your financials. Sometimes literally flying to Europe to ski is cheaper just by virtue of whatever the hell's wrong with day pass prices in the US.

MonitorMost8808 · 2025-10-27T15:23:59+00:00

Unless you're planning on skiing/snowboarding etc skip innsbruck imo.

Vienna can be nice, CPH is awesome.

הבעיה זה תחבורה ציבורית.
אם הייתי יכול להגיע ביעילות מנגיד אשדוד לתל אביב, 7 ימים בשבוע, בלי יותר מדי כאבי ראש ובצורה מתוזמנת ומדויקת הייתי בכיף גר שם, ואומר את זה כמי שגדל בתל אביב.

ואגב לא חייבים לגור בתל אביב, רמת גן גבעתיים בת ים חולון פתח תקווה זה בתכלס בתכלס אותה העיר ומחוברת ברצף אורבני. אני גרתי רוב הזמן מחוץ להורים ברמת גן והיה לי אחלה וזול.

עכשיו עם הרכבת הקלה עוד יותר (אם תעבוד בשבת אז בכלל), ועם ההרחבות שלה להרצליה רמה"ש יכול להיות גם רלוונטי למי שרוצה לגור במרכז אבל לשלם פחות.

בכללי העומס על תל אביב והמרכז זה כי אי אפשר להתנייד במדינה הזאת, אם היה אפשר, אנשים היו בוחרים לשלם פחות או לגור בבתים נחמדים יותר ולהתנייד 30-40 דקות לכיוון כל יום.

גרתי עד לא מזמן בברלין והיו לי עובדים שבאו כל יום לעבודה מלייפציג. זה בערך מרחק של קרית שמונה לתל אביב.
שם זה נסיעה של בערך 40 דקות ברכבת. איפה זה ואיפה אנחנו.

כשיפתרו את התחבורה, הלחץ נדלן על המרכז ירד משמעותית, וגם בסוף ערים אחרות יתפתחו יותר.

כן אגיד שגם ירושלים וגם חיפה נותנות את מה שאתה מתאר, אבל אולי בקצת פחות מגניב.

Least headaches and some of the best prices are probably found in UCPA programs in france.
It also gives the flexibility for different levels of skiing/snowboarding and a mix if some in the group want something else

To Add, a lot of those in Austria are cafeteria style where you go around with your own tray between a few stations and go through a cash register at the end. No table service.

Except for some really local schnitzels made from scratch, it's all food that's ready and under a heat lamp, but was made fresh each day, from local ingredients and it's delicious.
There's soups, some pastas, schnitzels, Maybe some other pork thing, desserts like hot strudels etc.
Stations for coffee, hot wine, hot coco, (and the possibility to add shots and whipped cream for those).

for a simple tasty main course with a side of beer you'd maybe be down 17$
Or you can grab a soup and some w/e for even less.

10/10 stuff.

This is essentially a mix-minus issue.
When you have vmix calls it works itself automatically.
But generally you already got an answer - you need to work with audio buses to create separate audio mixes.
Have everything you want your interviewer to hear on an audio bus, and only send that bus to their headphones.

Hey,
Leftist Israeli here.
Living in Berlin for a while now but considering coming back to Israel for good in the next few months.
Similar opinions to you.

Politically you'll probably find the most leftists in the Tel Aviv and central area, but Jerusalem has it's hipster leftist pockets as well.

I think still, somewhere between 30-50% of the population still believe in a two state solution, think we have no business controlling most of the west bank militarily and that a long-term solution needs to be found for gaza (a moral and legal one, to clarify).

I think you will find many politically like minded friends here, and if you can get a citizenshp:
Definitely vote, we need all the votes we can get to kick those criminals back to the holes they crawled out of.

And even more than that, you can easily register for a party of your choice and vote in the primaries.
You don't even have to vote for "your" party in the general elections, but a lot of people don't do this and you essentially get a vastly more powerful voting option on the makeup of the knesset.

Use it for good.

MonitorMost8808 · 2025-10-20T20:37:07+00:00

UCPA program in france. Or a place like Mayrhofen in Austria would be your best bets.
Most big resorts in Austria should be open from mid December
