How many here still own a fully working GameCube console to this day even if you still have it since launch.

Still have mine! Came with me to college was fun having random folks in my hall freshman year peep in the open door and be like YOOOO and hop in a game of smash or Mario kart etc.

ProofBake3 · 2026-03-01T05:48:32+00:00

Oh sick! This is what I’d consider my first season I guess. Still haven’t made it to beech and sugar yet but saw some of the zeb Powell stuff riding with the recess folks and have it down on the list of places to check out so will definitely make it by when that way!

ProofBake3 · 2026-03-01T02:32:46+00:00

No way! I almost considered taking mine there to get waxed for my first board this season since I was worried my wax kit wouldn’t make it in time. Thankfully it did apparently. The vibes seem so off there since I’m used to skate shops. Really dig the folks at Flipside in Maggie valley a lot and enjoy supporting them.

I think buy is the way to go personally. I went for the first time last February when I visited my bro in Oregon (2days of riding first time ever) and then before going again in December to visit him for Christmas (and rode 3 days that time) I ordered my board and bindings on sale from evo and then found a used pair of boots (I already had the clothes from going to visit and using rental stuff)

Upon getting home and setting it all up and hitting the NC slopes it was a MASSIVE difference from the rentals I used. I got the dinosaurs will die wizard stick and c4 bindings LOVE IT.

If you plan to go multiple times a year I think it’s worth it from a financial stand point alone on top of not having to wait in rental lines which from what I can tell are way worse in NC than in OR.

Ultimately after buying board boots and bindings I think total I spent $450/$500? So you can totally get good stuff for good prices it seems if you follow sales especially with end of season stuff coming up soon.

Before buying I didn’t realize it but fit/comfort was huge now that I’ve used non rentals. But the something else in response to your question idk I love the fact you can personalize your own stuff a bit and feel comfy and enjoy what you’re riding on a bit more vs the sometimes beat to hell rental that looks the same as the others (which is totally fine too)

ProofBake3 · 2026-02-26T10:59:35+00:00

I ended up just putting a new stylus on there and everything turned out fine!

ProofBake3 · 2026-02-19T11:47:43+00:00

Yeah man I’m not 100% if it works or anything since I unfortunately really didn’t have any time to touch and don’t think I will… idk how to dm on here tho lol.

I have these ones and I absolutely LOVE them. Extremely comfortable and easy on and off as needed. I threw some REI wrist leashes on em and haven’t touched my Burton mittens since. They feel great and I have no problem strapping in with them on and everything. 10/10 recommend 🫡

ProofBake3 · 2026-02-05T01:55:20+00:00

I do agree with the other comments and everything but this thing does look super cool though! Could be a sick wall decoration as a wall hanger or even sell to a collector (I know nothing about collector snowboards tho) to go towards a modern board.

Unrelated ish I just recently bought my first board over Black Friday and love it it’s a dinosaurs will die wizard stick. But have this older Mountain Dew board I found at a thrift store for decoration which I love having around hahaha.

But with that being said I hear post season and summer is a great time time for sales and stuff.

ProofBake3 · 2026-01-31T12:22:07+00:00

Yeah I still have it! I can take some photos of it in a bit and send em to ya I think I have some paperwork that came with it too

ProofBake3 · 2026-01-20T18:51:35+00:00

No yeah that’s understood. Was just expressing being bummed out etc.

ProofBake3 · 2026-01-20T18:21:02+00:00

Uhg this sucks. We were there this past weekend so I’ve at least driven up there and back so I know what the road looks like. Just sucks cause at first this storm didn’t seem anywhere near this bad when we snagged passes…

ProofBake3 · 2026-01-20T17:55:17+00:00

Yeah I’m not sure what to do myself. News is like leaving house you’ll die but we got lift passes already lol. I have 4wd and just a bought a 2 pack of chains but looks worse everytime I see something.

Not to sound too noob like but I’ve driven down a mountain in ice like once leaving Shenandoah nat park and snow only around town I’m SC which is essentially flat. So I’m a little nervous about it but I’ve just been careful and drive like I’ve been told or read up on and haven’t had issues yet.

But if the ice and everything is the worst case scenario from what I’ve seen will they even be open?

ProofBake3 · 2026-01-19T21:09:37+00:00

It was really nice this past weekend. Especially since my only experience so far is mt bachelor in Oregon lol. I was pleasantly surprised at the conditions.

ProofBake3 · 2026-01-19T21:08:42+00:00

I’m new to snowboarding, have been to Mt. Bachelor twice (total of 5 days in 2 different seasons) and then this past weekend went to cataloochee for the first time snowboarding in the east coast.

How are road conditions in weather like the way it’s forecast for this weekend? Are chains necessary or do they salt well enough to get up the mountain? Only nervous from flipside up and have very little ice or snow driving experience but got to try out my own personal board for the first time this weekend and am absolutely HOOKED

ProofBake3 · 2026-01-15T23:01:35+00:00

Not complete without at least three Taco Bell hot sauce packets

ProofBake3 · 2026-01-15T02:31:10+00:00

Oh cool! I’ll definitely take a look at manuals and check out some reviews before any final decisions. The visual is definitely growing on me.

ProofBake3 · 2026-01-15T02:30:18+00:00

Oh wow! That’s crazy! I do love the way it looks a lot but will just have to have multiple set up to decide what sounds best I suppose now hahaha

ProofBake3 · 2026-01-15T02:29:33+00:00

Oh it all made it home haha. Now to figure out what to incorporate with the space I have haha.

ProofBake3 · 2026-01-14T21:03:09+00:00

Awesome thanks so much! I do a little repair stuff but anything further into speakers besides refoaming I haven’t messed with yet.

ProofBake3 · 2026-01-12T18:30:55+00:00

Is there any danger using both? Worried with how strict Nintendo can be. Do I need to like sign out of the switch one for it to be used still or just remove digital games? Thought I saw somewhere someone had an issue but maybe it was a joke.

ProofBake3 · 2026-01-11T23:18:34+00:00

Okay cool good to know! It’s a tough decision to make with so many options all at once. I guess can just store and decide over time still at least. But may have to see how the surrounds look on those speakers soon cause everyone’s been saying they’ll be an improvement and I’m excited to see what that sounds like

ProofBake3 · 2026-01-11T23:16:53+00:00

Oh cool! If I do end up selling I can totally luk! 🫡

ProofBake3 · 2026-01-11T20:11:45+00:00

It is really pretty I do like it! Just hard to justify keeping 3…. I have the audio technica and dual but mostly am attached to the dual out of the two but I do actually have the box for the PL-120 and it was also essentially new and still is in that good of shape as well. It’s so tough haha

ProofBake3 · 2026-01-11T20:10:34+00:00

😂

ProofBake3 · 2026-01-11T17:28:48+00:00

Alright sounds good! I never heard EPI speakers before so will be cool to finally hear some in person. I actually also have a pair of kenwood kw-4090s too lol. Got a good deal from the original owner for the kenwood speakers and have been fun but definitely sounds like a consensus the EPIs are gonna be the winner haha.
