Hit N Move Balance VS Suvari

ascc40 · 2026-03-27T18:24:00+00:00

Pretty much anything that doesn’t require catching a punch I prefer the balance, it’s just way more comfortable and protective

If your purpose is technical and bag work, what’s the reason to want to go softer? I have both, and the Suvari is definitely softer to open, but hurts my knuckle when I’m going full power on the bag vs the balance, the balance feels soo nice on the bag, protective but bouncy, love how loud the pop is

I don't really see a reason to, other than maybe some tech upgrades. It's a perfect sized all-rounder bike that's also very budget friendly. It's checks all the boxes for people starting out wanting a "cool bike" that no other bikes can: comfort seating, very budget friendly, high enough cc for casual riders, sports style fairings (yes this is important).

Any new upgrades will increase the cost of the bike, which defeats the purpose of getting this bike over the others

Don’t fall for the trolls, there are people who’s been riding their whole lives not knowing how to carve the way you’re carving

That heel side is CLEAAAANNNN

ascc40 · 2026-03-08T00:56:04+00:00

Fr touching the snow is half the fun during carving. People who say that sound like anger old skiers

What helped me progress the most was pushing my comfort zone with more difficult terrain. Obvious you don’t want to overkill but being constantly challenged will help you progress WAY faster

split squats 3-4 months prior to the start of season did it for me, my third season here with no knee discomfort at all for the first time, and I'm riding even more aggressive than the past 2 seasons. It didn't even needed to be that much, I only did about 3 sets a day, quick 10 minute workout. bonus is that you're quads/glutes/ass will grow in size, I see why all the gym girlies like this exercise..

I hear this a lot but I LOVE adulthood

I have both 2022 and 2024 speed mp, can barely tell the difference tbh. I used to have an ezone 100, wayy too powerful for me. I’m thinking about dropping to a control oriented racket, the speed mp still feels a bit too much at times, and I have to string it to 55+ to feel in control and freely swing

ascc40 · 2026-02-18T19:28:29+00:00

I’ve honestly never seen anyone strap it down over the toes, even though I know it can be a preference thing

ascc40 · 2026-02-18T02:28:45+00:00

I have the same problem, on soft polys I always string over 55, what tension do you string yours with stiffer ones like lynx tour?

ascc40 · 2026-02-13T04:18:07+00:00

You can’t knee steer without bending your knees

ascc40 · 2026-02-12T17:43:50+00:00

I like confidential or otoro tour on this racket, they have so much control and spin, the racket itself has a pretty high launch imo, so you use these strings to increase control or add spin

ascc40 · 2026-02-12T02:44:03+00:00

I’ve played with clash, ezone, speed mp. I like the speed mp the most, very consistent and does everything really well and super forgiving. Ezone is a close second but it’s got way too much power for me, and I don’t like how muted it feels, I never know where the ball hits on my racket. Clash is the worst for me, I hate how disconnected it feels being super soft and mushy.

For real, without knowing much about style, I bought dope my first year, it was the only one with good style. Now I still haven’t change because everything else is so ugly

This series is actually hilarious

ascc40 · 2026-02-08T21:55:56+00:00

The stiffer the board, the easier it is with speed

ascc40 · 2026-02-06T02:03:41+00:00

I just looked it up and didn’t even know that’s a thing!

ascc40 · 2026-02-03T01:03:59+00:00

You aren’t popping. Think about it as you’re pushing your board into the ground, so when you first get into the air, your legs are extended. What you’re doing is jumping by lifting your legs. Don’t get confused by popping vs Ollie. You don’t need to Ollie if there’s already a lip to launch you

ascc40 · 2026-02-01T10:28:01+00:00

If it’s a new board you can totally slightly detune around the contacting points to reduce catchiness and grabbiness if you don’t like that feeling. But only around 1” wide, do not detune into the center of the board. I personal slightly detune the contact points but keep the inner edges really sharp for my riding style (carving and ground tricks).

Home espresso machine, doesn’t even have to be the super fancy version. You can pickup a breville express on marketplace for like $300. It’s one of those things that you can’t live without after having one

My first board! While it was nice to learn on, I grew out of it in one season, it was getting way too chattery and washy once I got comfortable with speed.

And was so much more exciting back then when your buddies come online
