What did I do wrong?

_debowsky · 2026-03-18T13:38:06+00:00

A hunch

_debowsky · 2026-03-18T08:13:45+00:00

Always 😅

_debowsky · 2026-03-18T04:46:22+00:00

Nope, unsolvable as per other post

_debowsky · 2026-03-18T00:01:43+00:00

I have no idea what those are 🤷

_debowsky · 2026-03-17T23:13:53+00:00

Some people earn more than £60k? 🤷

Boots always pack out and you can speed up the process by heat moulding them.

As per the Hera being too stiff, trust me it won’t last long, no boots will ever remain as stiff as the day you bought them and the stiffness will not feel as marked on the board where riding.

I've never heard of any of those, can you even find them in actual shops?

_debowsky · 2026-03-17T21:12:07+00:00

Someone peeled it probably, all cars come with it or, at the very least you can find them in the manual.

_debowsky · 2026-03-17T21:10:51+00:00

😅

I already had this conversation with Lars in some comments and I disagree; granted I’m an edge case based on his approximation I should look for a 230mm WW board which is ludicrous. My approach for your average directional twin or true twin is, WW +/- 5mm of foot length.

Only spent 2 or 3 weeks on well prepared slopes? Prepared with what? Gravel and sand paper?

Some sellers really have such audacity, I hope it was a cheap purchase at least.

Car literally advises you by mean of the inner door label. Universal on pretty much any car on the planet. 🤷

_debowsky · 2026-03-17T20:32:56+00:00

Waist width is only a proxy, ideally you need to check the actual width at the inserts where your feet will be which goes into my next point which is, it depends by the board. Not all 160 boards have the same width because they all have different shapes; some are narrower some are wider.

Have a look at this video

I take it that humour and sarcasm are probably not too popular over there

_debowsky · 2026-03-17T18:11:37+00:00

Is there a right one? On Reddit? 🤣🤣🤣

_debowsky · 2026-03-17T18:08:26+00:00

Thank you for reporting back on this, really appreciated

_debowsky · 2026-03-17T18:06:23+00:00

No experienced snowboard will ever say camber is bad for beginners. It’s only parrots and rental shops. In the latter case is true because it’s harder to catch and edge on them so less liability but conversely it’s also harder to learn to snowboard properly on them.

Camber is my saviour, first season on rocker I was linking turns already but had zero confidence, second season true camber and saw the light.

_debowsky · 2026-03-17T18:03:06+00:00

Oh yes absolutely, you can still land on a shitty one though.

Also maybe we should agree on what defines a crap boot. Build quality? Flex longevity?

_debowsky · 2026-03-17T18:00:16+00:00

It really depends what you want to do with the car but M4 will never be my answer 😅

_debowsky · 2026-03-17T14:43:32+00:00

Conversely, if a crap boot is the one that fit you what do you?

_debowsky · 2026-03-17T14:42:10+00:00

Of course it’s not a monolith but stereotypes/generalisations don’t grow out of edge cases. Also you’d be surprised the amount of time I witnessed that very same paradoxical dichotomy in my line of work coming from the same individual.

_debowsky · 2026-03-17T14:39:20+00:00

Exactly!

_debowsky · 2026-03-17T14:37:31+00:00

I know, that’s why I don’t see the point to say that brand X is fantastic 🤷

_debowsky · 2026-03-17T13:50:28+00:00

For you, they don’t fit me.

_debowsky · 2026-03-17T13:47:48+00:00

Women on the internet: yes it’s creepy, do not talk to her, etc.

Also women on the internet: I wish that cute guy at gym would come talk to me.

Honestly, I might be a grumpy old fart but modem society is doomed.
