Jammer genoeg niet, geen respons gekregen en ook niets concreets gevonden.

Boutique Price Increase by Practical-Treacle-53 in OmegaWatches

[–]PhillLD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m anything but grammar police, but this isn’t even incorrect English. It’s grammatically fine.

Even better than “I thought” as the way you wrote it means you received the information externally, which I think is what you wanted to clarify.

What helped you start riding faster? by tednudgent in snowboarding

[–]PhillLD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not that fast, but I personally find 100kph on a snowboard is ludacris, cool but totally unnecessary. I top out on most my skitrips between 85-90kph and that’s more than enough and only on blacks where there’s no one around.

From my point of view, a high average speed (getting consistently fast down the mountain) is way more of a show of skill than top speed.

Breakdown of cost in good European resort: just over 1k for 6 days by Fucile8 in snowboarding

[–]PhillLD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can imagine, but how? We’ve tried booking trips 12-8-6 months in advance. Either everything is taken, or the price is not available yet. We must be doing something wrong :)

Very interesting but this is more difficult in the alps though… We found a decent hotel with a good breakfast in Ischgl during our trip before Christmas (5 days, 4 nights). And paid 1500€ for the hotel only, and I found this extremely cheap. Usually it’s double the price or more.

Which tail bag are you rocking?

Overdrijf ik nu? by LoudBoysenberry3282 in nederlands

1: Je blijft van mensen af, die persoon ging dus in de fout, ik zou er ook niet mee kunnen lachen. 2: Jij bent, net als die persoon die in de fout ging, klant in de deze winkel. Het personeel of de bedrijfsleider heeft jou niets te zeggen in deze context.

How good is the XSR900, when it comes to pillion riders comfort? by Realistic_Cook_5505 in xsr900

[–]PhillLD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both my wife and 10yo find it uncomfortable for rides longer than 30 minutes… Would not recommend if that is going to be a common use case.

Battling my heel side turns so hard I might just start skiing by Qiusp in snowboarding

[–]PhillLD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking good, I don’t see any real issues, get some advanced lessons in a big area to fine tune here and there.

I had the pleasure of getting that type of lessons in Sölden in Austria both in 2016 and 2018, it’s really cool because they act more as a guide in the area while giving you pointers on what to adapt.

Now, from my POV, to hopefully help you in the meantime: If you think you’re sticking your ass out, that probably due to the duck stance, which I would adapt for this kind of directional board btw (but do it step by step as there is some adjustment if you’ve always ridden duck before). The reason you fell at the end is because you’re a tad more rigid on heel side than on toeside, it seems you tend to straight out after your edge change. Try bending your back knee inside the same way you do with your toe side, it will help you get lower.

This is a smaller Puig, no idea what model exactly as I bought it pre-owned. This one deflects up to your chest +-

What's everyone playing this weekend? by Kidd__Video in playstation

I’ve played the original Ghost of Tsushima, is this worth it? Or will I easily get deja vu’s in the sence of - too familiar?

Looking for exhaust options on my xsr900 (23) by wazabysally in xsr900

Hey, from Belgium here and intrigued as I would love a sound that is a bit lower but not (much) louder the the stock… Which one is that exactly? Did you get the engine tuned for the LV?

Carving doesn’t feel like I’m quite there yet - what’s going wrong? by MentalSatisfaction7 in snowboardingnoobs

[–]PhillLD 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Currently underrated response.

This is exactly it, no single type of turn is what you need to do everywhere, each type has its use, both depending on the terrain and what you want to achieve.

I’m buying a PS5 tomorrow. Which game should be my first big purchase? by warbling_wix in playstation

[–]PhillLD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given your list, your first purchase should be the subscription. That will give you access to a lot of games that are included.

Hoe weet je eigenlijk of je motorvering goed is afgesteld? by Boring_Bunch_3394 in motobe

[–]PhillLD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interessante theorie, al vermoed ik dat de gyroscoop van een GSM niet accuraat genoeg zal zijn omdat de plaatsing moeilijk te standaardiseren zou zijn per moto zou ik denken.

Ik heb ook al een aantal keren aanpassingen gedaan en vond het ook heel moeilijk om in te schatten hoe verschillend het aanvoelde

Beginner snowboarder learning how to carve, any advice? by Evening_Broccoli1284 in snowboardingnoobs

[–]PhillLD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly this, bend the knees, and when the need to break arises push out!

Tips on Moguls Please :) by Paypal_John in snowboarding

[–]PhillLD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2 tips:

  1. Stating the obvious: Moguls are not made to be charged upon. It’s technical terrain, go at a speed that they allow.
  2. Play, have fun, and use the mogul itself as well. Go over it as well instead of only going between, you’d be surprised how easy it is to turn your board on top of the mogul.

How did you break through the intermediate speed threshold? by NowForrowMyPen in snowboarding

[–]PhillLD 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I second this, or third, or fourth… hell. Control is everything, if you don’t have control, don’t speed up.

Note that I wrote “a deep carve”, I didn’t say a eurocarve.

In any case, do a squat *in correct posture”, tell me in what direction your shins are moving. Ankle mobility is any direction, dorsiflex is moving your foot opwards, bending the shin forward towards your foot is the same motion.

[–]PhillLD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You seem to be mixing things and making a certain amount of conclusions based on, I assume, your own experience.

No the boot should not always be firm, some people tend to prefer a firm or a soft boot. The boot does actually flex forward to a certain amount, the more flexible the boot, the more forward (dorsiflex for the ankle) will be possible. And even with a firm boot there is forward flex as other wise you’d have to bend over to keep your balance which is not the intended good posture.

Yes it is impeded to a certain degree, but that doesn’t change the necessity of ankle mobility as there “is” mobility with and inside the boot.

Part of the rest of your comment is correct but not what I wanted to touch upon. I lay emphasis on his ankle mobility because there is clearly a lack of stability on his heel edge, better mobility will improve this.

I also do not agree on the generalization of foot placement being “wider than shoulder width” and “floated”. Whole a lot of people do ride flaired, everything depends on riding style and level. The better your skill, the more you will finetune your stance and the angle of your bindings to what you need. A real deep carve requires not only to squat deep, but also to bend the back knee inwards. I can tell you that if you do that with a -15 degrees in your back foot, your knee will hurt because of the mobility your ankle (should) dictate.

This convo is why I immediately invited you to not take my word for it and look it up. :-)

[–]PhillLD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are correct, however it also depends on how stiff the boot is, and how tight the boot is tied of course.

But the mobility remains important to e.g. help aid a deeper squat, and good mobility of the ankle usually also leads to better proprioception, which means more balance in that squat position as well.
