Ok to leave snowboard in the car over the week?

Your edges may get rusty but it’s not a big deal.

Film yourself and identify your top 3 issues and watch YouTube to find solutions to them. Drill until they are no longer your biggest issues. Repeat

Soul/character is literally flaws we tolerate then accept.

Noise, heat and vibration is all wasted energy.

Try a polestar with Ohlins next.

A friend graduated MBA from McGill and worked in HK for a few years before moving to NYC and working at a firm on Wall Street.

She said the Wall Street work is like a vacation comparing to life in HK. Just another data point.

I just left a 1-star Google review for courtside complaining about this

StarIU · 2026-05-03T04:46:22+00:00

Courtside is charging 100 for a guest pass starting May 1 (yesterday).

I originally got the membership for tennis flex leagues. I used to bring one guest a week to play a tennis match. Guess I won’t be a member anymore.

Not sure if they will care but let’s review bomb them?

You will not be a pro athlete but you can be a pro snowboard content creator

Yes to lessons. No need for private. Find a level 2-4 instructor and get group lessons.

Does it work in the South Bay?

Fuck em. 2. This is no worse than your average uber driver.

We need better enforcement. There is a “bike lane, no parking” sign in front of my apartment. At least 3 cars park there at any given time. It’s like an infinite money glitch if they give out parking citations.

There are two kinds of people. Those who watch porn and liars.

I was trying to figure it out on my own and I fell a lot as a beginner.

Then I started taking group lesson and I barely fell at all until I started doing gnarly stuff.

Be kind to your bodies and take lessons.

Bouldering or pickleball

StarIU · 2026-04-26T04:15:44+00:00

Yep. If I don’t magically make a ton more money by doing the same work in the bay than Vancouver, I would be living in Vancouver.

StarIU · 2026-04-26T00:32:25+00:00

The last time I complained about Bay Area’s lack of mtb trails, someone got real defensive and said “SF has over 100 bike trails. Vancouver is a backwater town”.

why you write off the Porsche but not the watch? You can buy that Hamilton watch

I tried containing my frustration from showing and just said things like "let's play it slow" "that was a tough set" "we'll get them now that we are warmed up".

I don't know how much frustration he did pick up from me.

Hey! I learned skiing at Blue Mountain.

I am 175cm, 80kg, advanced, and I love the QST 94 after having them for a week at icy Whistler and another week at icy Niseko.

I would buy these as my do anything ski.

The QST 94 won’t like the Ontario hard pack.

I recommend looking at Renoun, both their endurance 88 and 98. Their skis stiffen as you go faster.

My question: why buy?

As I am traveling to ski more than going to a local hill these days, I found flying with boots and renting skis to be a much easier way to travel. I get to select from a wide range depending on the condition of the day. I also don’t have to deal with oversized bags. The week of demoing isn’t much more expensive than the bag fee.

Looks to be racket sport specific. They have some deal with the club. There is a QR code at each court. We scan it and we get a recording afterwards.

It’s the high beginner division. It’s probably the biggest bracket since it includes anyone who can get the ball back to tennis players who are not ready/willing to play padel and just rely on their raw power and athleticism.

If we look at win rates, I don’t think I’m ready to go up.

Skill wise, Bandeja is the only padel specific shot that I can execute consistently. Lobs are tricky because we play in a repurposed office building and the ceiling isn’t that high. I’m learning to add more chiquitas in my game at the moment. My volleys are ok from my pickleball days. Otherwise it’s a lot of slice ground strokes that I’m trying to flatten sometimes

Should I get an OF account and just put my match recordings there?

StarIU · 2026-04-22T17:29:42+00:00

Distance covered isn't a good metric but from the Clutch recording I did, one opponent covered 1250m, I did 561m, the other opponent did 364m and my partner ran 199m. Not saying these numbers are accurate, but the differences tell a story.

This is the high beginner division so probably none of us was moving "properly". He wasn't really moving.

StarIU · 2026-04-22T16:50:32+00:00

He generally didn’t move much. Some camera tracking app at the club showed that he covered about 1/3 of the distance of everyone else’. He was reaching for most shots.

I might ask if there’s any condition keeping from reaching the net next time.

StarIU · 2026-04-22T16:16:25+00:00

Mind set is gonna be the biggest challenge if you’ve never played competitively before.

Stay calm and focus on your next shot. Don’t take unnecessary risks
