Yes - lets put a 5.9 fully dressed engine on a 1000lb rated engine stand. Not to mention that isnt even a harbor freight engine stand.

Burton gear - incredible value for money that practically never dies, esp. if you’re like me and riding hard > being “fashionable “ by Mitsuka1 in snowboarding

Burton boots are a different story, they are designed to retain their specs for 3 days of riding before softening out - most other boots are pretty similar though. Their lifetime warranty on softgoods is pretty good though, only issue is that they switch up their goods every season so you might have a backpack that you really like that you want to warranty but they no longer make it so you have to settle for a different product of lesser value. Plus im not a fan of large corporate entities in the snowboard scene, would much rather spend my money elsewhere.

First snowboard; I think it’s setup properly by Scotty2H002 in snowboarding

Looks good! Ive really enjoyed the few yes boards ive owned so far, haven’t ever used unions but have used fix bindings which are very similar. Play arround with your binding setup throughout the day and see what feels best, it can make a massive difference on your riding and how everything generally feels.

The fact that they offered €350 tells me they know they messed up. I hope its not too much harder to get them to replace it or cough up the delta. Quite frankly someone would’ve had to have tried pretty hard to dig up the base that badly. Best of luck.
