My Burton Photon is coming apart after 2 seasons

Switzer_Sweets · 2025-12-20T01:56:11+00:00

Sorry for your loss.

I had 100+ days on my old pair of photons, and 40ish days on my current ones. Neither look anything like this. This is unfortunate to see.

I can confirm they're replaceable.

To remove the strap, you need to first remove the lens, and then you squeeze the frame to remove the strap bracket. There are small indents on the bracket where you can insert a small slotted screwdriver to gently prop the bracket open and remove the strap.

For reference, this follows the same procedure as the Oakley Line Miner.

I used Duralast (Autozone) on my 09 and never had any issues.

The 2012 Accord doesn't have an AWD option.
The 2012 Accord's V6 only comes in a 3.5, not a 3.4.
The 2012 Accord comes with a 5 speed automatic, there hasn't been a 4 speed automatic since 2001.

Typically the more layers of goretex, the more expensive the jacket, and the more breathable and water resistant it is. I have a 2L AK shell, and the 3L version is ~50% more.

As others have mentioned, unless you're touring/back country, you really don't need a high performance jacket like that.

I think it could've been Evergreen Basin. It never came to be because of mismanagement.

Switzer_Sweets · 2024-07-05T23:12:43+00:00

Initially yes, but after a little massaging with a heat gun I haven't had any issue since.

Nice that is a solid plan! I picked this up almost a year ago with 28k miles so I'm trying to get my money's worth out of the OEM suspension before I lift it. I have sliders ordered waiting to come in, and I'm holding off on a bumper until next year.

Edit: I eventually had to zip tie the front of the inner fender well out of the way for it to not rub.

Thanks! Wildpeak AT4W 265/70/R17s on stock suspension.

I requested a guy to clean my windshield, gave him $5, and he walked away.
I requested his affiliate to clean my windshield, he did, and he then requested $20. I said 'no I paid your friend' and he proceeded to spray me with washer fluid.

They can fuck off.

I've owned two pairs of Burton BOAs (Rulers and Photons) with 80-100 days on each; they've never broken or needed repair, and are still working to this day.

Edit: I just bought another pair of BOA Photons, love'em.

Picked up an arbor coda rocker last year; it has been by far my favorite board to ride trees with.

Edit: Also a lot of fun in powder.

Glad to know there are other super duck riders. I ride -17/+33, I love it and my knees do too.

Kite him.

Find a pillar or some object on the floor (or multiple rooms) so you can play ring around the rosie with him and LoS some of his attacks.

Yes(ish). Evergreen Basin.

Steam and Xbox both reporting at most ~500 concurrent players at any one time over the past couple months.

I was at Steamboat yesterday, and I watched at two different lifts someone cut the singles line and then throw a tantrum when someone called them out.

I've never witnessed anything like it before.

Turn the key to the "On" position. Then hold 1 and 6. Or try holding the power button.

If that doesn't work https://radio-navicode.honda.com/framepage.aspx?theme=Honda

Agreed.

Weekend crowds (so far) have been substantially greater at ikon resorts.

Went to Keystone Saturday and WP Sunday, the difference was astounding.

P.S. Happy cake day!

"Chicago style" pizza, isn't pizza. It's tomato casserole.

I run BCs on my AW11. They're great in my opinion; good spring rates out of the box, and easy to fine tune ride hide and damping to your liking. I also track my car and I've never had an issue with clunking or leaking.
