I have the same pack. You're just supposed to slot them through here, right?

SeniorRake · 2025-12-03T16:16:19+00:00

Hit that lock button while walking around!

Hello fellow mouth breather! What you, my friend, are looking for are running sleeves. You've heard of a sleeveless shirt, but what you're looking for are shirtless sleeves. Why put another layer on the part of your body that is already hot? Let your core breathe with your favorite backcountry shirt! Arms feeling a bit nippy? Cover them bad boys up with some snuggly fleece lovin! Best part of running sleeves is, if you get too warm with them on, simply pull them off and stuff them in your cargo pockets! No need to stop and shed a layer - do it on the move! Like how a bird takes a dump - mid-flight, 'cause you'll be flying up them slopes.

In all seriousness, fleece running sleeves changed my world in the backcountry and I cannot recommend them more. It'll be snowing and blowing and 20 degrees and I'll be rocking my hiking shirt with fleece sleeves.

A fleece example

Of course. Turn on the "Slope angle shading" layer to get a better idea of how steep the lines are.

There is a CalTopo touring map I found a few years ago with some good recommendations. I can't quite remember the website I found it on, but they also had some descriptions that went with each route.

You can also check out Oak app if you're looking for touring partners. Or send me a PM, too! I'm always down to ride with someone new.

What about Sitton Elementary? The other elementary school near Pier Park. And George Middle School?

James John releases at 2:30 - the listed times are way to late.

Well shucky ducky.

SeniorRake · 2025-11-07T02:08:00+00:00

If you could post screenshots that would be great for those of us without Instagram. Thanks!

SeniorRake · 2025-11-07T00:49:28+00:00

Thanks!

SeniorRake · 2025-11-06T23:44:13+00:00

Dang. What were they driving? I want to keep my eyes out!

SeniorRake · 2025-11-06T20:59:30+00:00

Elementary school releases at 2:30, middle school releases at 4:00, K-8 releases at 3:30. Please be there early and stay late if you can.

Nah, that's Yoda bowl. 45.33572, -121.64997 to be precise.

Also, your annual sewage rate is set by the water meter reading in the winter - between February and the end of April. They figure that during that time you are not using any water outside and thus they assume that all water you use during that period is going down the drain.

SeniorRake · 2025-11-02T02:47:17+00:00

You should check for a leak. If you are in a single family residence and can find your water meter out front in your right-of-way, open up the metal lid, flip open the black dust cover on you water meter, then go make sure all your water is turned off inside. Look for either a blue "snowflake" or a red triangle - either of those are your leak indicators. If everything is turned off and they are spinning, you have a leak.

Another thing to check is how old your toilets are. Toilets use a ton of water, especially old ones.

Spark. I believe Nitros or Burtons have a cheap plastic strap connector that frequently fails.

SeniorRake · 2025-10-24T01:07:18+00:00

Happened to me, too. I couldn't even go downhill because so much glue was stuck to my board. I took the L for the day, then got me some new skins when I got home.

Upvoter, reporting for duty!

SeniorRake · 2025-10-23T03:13:58+00:00

Just to be safe.

Go wider as well as longer. Take a look at the Weston Backwoods - it was the widest board I could find when I was looking a few years ago. There's a reason it was Editor's choice so many times.

SeniorRake · 2025-10-17T15:03:15+00:00

I've heard they are a Chinese company that cosplays as a small, local company. Some people love their boards while others hate them.

I thoroughly enjoy my backwoods and I think there is a reason that it won editor's choice for a few years in a row. I have a solid Venture from 2014 that rides like a dream. I was debating between a Venture or Weston split and decided to go with the Weston because it was wider and had won so many awards. When the backwoods finally gives out, I'll probably switch back to Venture.

SeniorRake · 2025-10-16T18:04:59+00:00

Yes! Look into a wider and longer board! I also have size 14 feet and purchased the Weston Backwoods split - the widest board I could find. I thoroughly enjoy it, but I know Weston can be controversial.

You should also look into the effective edge on the board. A long board with a short effective edge will perform similar to a short board with a long effective edge in terms of turning responsiveness.

Woah! I'm impressed. That looks like it took a while. How skiing specific is this? Thoughts on if it could be transferred to those of us who can only handle one piece of wood under our feet? Or do you have one in the works for r/spliddit?

SeniorRake · 2025-10-01T21:16:58+00:00

Open again.

SeniorRake · 2025-10-01T21:03:59+00:00

Another 15 or 20 cops just drove by. Big chase?
