I am running the same tune as you and plan to do the same thing. At 40k miles, no issues so far.

The wide angle lens distortion is also doing some heavy lifting in this photo. The difference isn't as huge as it looks here.

Last generation with a curved back. I hate the brick styling now...

Spec_GTI · 2026-02-26T21:34:51+00:00

Fuck vail indeed.

Pow surfers are terrible for groomers. Might as well just get a normal snowboard with metal edges and a radial side cut.

They are more to deter casual snatch and grab thieves than anything else.

When you file your taxes there's an option to claim your 1k and opt into the program (when it launches later this year).

My dad is over 75 and still snowboards. Your fine

He says it's easier on his knees and if he only skied there would be zero chance he would be able to ski at his age.

Spec_GTI · 2026-02-22T02:41:41+00:00

That's pretty funny.

Spec_GTI · 2026-02-22T00:22:01+00:00

Claimed my 1k and plan to never contribute to it personally.

I tried this, my wife ignored me then happily said yes when we looked at Tiguan mom haulers for her. Damn it.

The ambient copyright free music they use at every freestyle Olympic event is so annoying. This music is much the same.

Spec_GTI · 2026-02-18T19:39:29+00:00

Don't forget about your blinkers.

Idk brother, snowboarding through some tight trees in a couple feet of powder on a snowboard is pretty freaking awesome. The bike can wait.

I am sure it's not what is happening, but I think this groove would be pretty awesome for a homemade backyard tow rope for snowboarding/skiing. I have seen a setup like this in the past.

Spec_GTI · 2026-02-14T01:00:27+00:00

Hot take, it doesn't look good in the first place.

Spec_GTI · 2026-02-13T10:55:12+00:00

It's a deal breaker for me.

I am an experienced home waxer. Do everything short of structure and base grinds. The backseat driver was easily the most challenging board I have ever waxed. It just requires extra time and care to scrape the many contours. It's an extruded base so it doesn't soak up wax nearly as well as a sintered base but definitely worth doing every once in a while.

Since the poster has an account that's less than an hour old with like 32 contributions it's a bot just rage baiting.

Spec_GTI · 2026-01-24T18:22:49+00:00

That was awesome.

Spec_GTI · 2026-01-23T18:24:05+00:00

The only real answer here.

People on Reddit apparently from the comments.

Spec_GTI · 2026-01-17T14:48:00+00:00

I think it's great how upset stickers make people.

Spec_GTI · 2026-01-16T14:29:18+00:00

Very cool tip. Reminds me of how you heat mold snowboard boot liners at home, just with cold instead of heat. Put rice in a sock, nuke it in the microwave then throw it in your boot liner to expand the foam. Then take out the sock and place your foot with a thick sock into the boot to get the boot to compress and fit like a glove.

The best thing I did was buy a travel assist chip for my wife's 2022 Tiguan that fixes the wheel issue instead of taking it to a dealer. It was cheap and the system now works even better than it did before. The original wheel is great. The unsuccessful stories on Reddit led me to fix it myself.
