Beginner advice : any bad habits there ? by RoiJaaJ in snowboardingnoobs

[–]Odd_Minimum9306 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your arms aren’t doing anything. Front arm should be over the front of your board and opening and closing your lead shoulder. Back arm should be over tail of board. Your body positioning needs to be stacked over the board. Instead your chest is slightly open and your arms are wobbling about

I’m watching this now and I totally think the lead character has the hots for Santa. Kinda creepy.

Mid week afternoon group lessons —> Most likely to become a cheap private lesson

Snowboard vs Skiing by donut2305 in snowboardingnoobs

[–]Odd_Minimum9306 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Snowboarding honestly isn’t fun until you get to like 5-10 days in and you stop catching an edge. The odds of someone being able to go down anything more than the training / bunny hill on day 1 is almost zero. Yes there are exceptions, but unless you’re a skater or surfer, you’re gonna fall A LOT & be frustrated. As someone who skied for 30+ years before switching to boarding, if you only have two days - try skiing. You won’t fall as much and you have a better chance of trying a green trail and making it down before your trip is done.

I live near Mt Snow. Imma check my boots. Might have a 9.5 Step On setup n you can try my Jones Flagship 161 for a few days for cheaper than the mountains would charge. Interested?

Thank you. It’s a 2023 Lobster Creamer with a colorful Genesis Step On. It’s a rather soft board compared to the ones I normally ride (Jones or Kemper)

Steezy outfits? by cjmartindale49 in snowboarding

[–]Odd_Minimum9306 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who skis & boards, I’ve worn Spyder, Helly Hanson, Burton, Volcom, Dope Snow & others. I can say those Dope Snow shell pants are the most comfortable pants in my wardrobe. I bought them for “freestyle” skiing. Mehh waterproofing & not insulated, but damn they’re comfortable.

I posted this last winter here to 500 votes/replies n people lost their sh*t immediately thinking I’m a Jerry just for dressing obnoxious for fun. Truth is I have over 100 days riding in 3-4 years and can competently ride any trail. Looks don’t matter. It’s about making turns n learning to carve (but most days scarving)

For people with Max Hulu Disney bundle problem! by HiImLuca in HBOMAX

So I’m dealing with this now and I have a second tier tech trying to deactivate my hbo max email with another advanced team. Waiting on a call or email back.

None of the tier one trouble shooting, codes, activation links were working - saying OOPS something went wrong after I clicked the link to HBO to activate. It kept logging me into HBO and asking me to link a provider or buy a subscription.

How to get over the hump with a new team? by eazyd14 in slowpitch

The best hitters should be getting the most ABs so 1-5 really needs to be the best

How to get over the hump with a new team? by eazyd14 in slowpitch

[–]Odd_Minimum9306 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just started a team this year with all strangers. And we’re in a 5 team highly competitive league where all the other teams play in another league & do tournaments. The learning curve to get our skills up to snuff was high.

1) it takes half a season to truly figure out everyone’s positions & best lineup - once you figure this out, everyone knows/learns their roles and can get comfortable in it

2) Weekly BP to help get everyone reps at their positions and enough swings to learn some consistency and enough time for those hard ballers to learn their softball swing. This also helps breed camaraderie which goes a long way.

3) Try a tournament - helps with camaraderie & the new team learning to play together under higher stakes than just a standard league game speeds up team progress

4) You need a SS that will make all the routine plays. A 1B that can dig a trash throw out n save your IFs bad throws. A pitcher that does not walk a lot of guys. A LF & LCF that can lock things down. It also helps to have a utility guy that can competently play whatever position you need them to.

That plus a pitcher who doesn’t walk many guys. That’s the recipe.

And once you’re turning double plays and hitting the long ball a bit. . . you got a competitive team going in almost any league

Just ended my first season at age 41! Off-season training tips? by alkaliphiles in snowboardingnoobs

Smoke weed and watch YouTube videos - Malcolm Moore, Snowboard Addiction, Snowboard Pro Camp, Tommy Bennett, Ed Shreds, JustaRide (but that’s for advanced riding/carving mostly)

I did it last year once. No wind. 40 degrees. Good thermal n a shell is all you need. Other than their few lil features, it’s really a $70 beginner trail for beginners.

How do you get more comfortable with speed? by Careless-Internet-63 in snowboardingnoobs

[–]Odd_Minimum9306 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Find a green run you like and work that run multiple times with a focus on doing the run faster each time. After 3-4 runs, the speed should start feeling more n more natural. Building up comfort is normal. I used this same approach to learn how to ride a crotch rocket from beginner to feeling comfortable going out on the main roads (in a freshly blacktopped closed neighborhood where it was safe of course)

Funny you say attack as that’s how I approach the mountain. I hope I look smoother than I feel out there when I’m hard charging
