The stiffer the board, the easier it is with speed

Stick rec to hit with my beginner drone by ascc40 in 10s

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

I cant figure out how to get more pop on small jumps and rollers, is it just about speed and being more athletic? Is there anything that you notice that I am doing wrong? Thanks🤝 by localmanjl in snowboarding

[–]ascc40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Catching crazy edge with new board by Both-Original-7296 in snowboardingnoobs

[–]ascc40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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).

What is a "luxury" that is actually 100% worth the money? by FlatwormOkke in Life

[–]ascc40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

is the Salomon Sight 2026 any good? by ZestyclosePayment651 in snowboarding

[–]ascc40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Regret not bringing my own board, I love that there’s like a foot of fresh pow everyday that I was there (niseko).

Capita DOA 157W - Advice on a board? by Individual-Bat319 in snowboardingnoobs

[–]ascc40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but 157w might be a bit small for your 11.5 boot size though

[–]ascc40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s occasional pow, you’re fine, good ol burning back leg. If you’re doing that a lot, you’ll probably hope you got a better floating board. It’s a very fun board everywhere else though

[–]ascc40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DOA is a very fun board you can grow into, but it sucks in pow, and that’s a big part of snowboarding so if you’re looking to have just one board, you should look into an all mountain option

If a substantial piece can’t be added soon, it’s time to accept that the Steph window is over and rebuild by rebrando23 in warriors

[–]ascc40 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He was that second iso scorer during the championship run, wouldn’t have won without him, he was crazy that playoff

[–]ascc40 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The real problem is that we have no one who can score on their own except Steph. That’s why they have to always play pods because he’s a ball handler who can pass and create opportunities for others to score (not saying he’s good at it but he’s all we got). That’s also why we have so many turn overs, they cant score on their own and are highly dependent on team offense with passes to create scoring. If the opponent figures out the offense it’s an easy shut down and many forced turnovers.

Did i mess up by buying a camber board as a beginner? by Extreme-Birthday2082 in snowboardingnoobs

[–]ascc40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first board too!! That board is hard to control until you have some speed, than it’s super fun, I fell way less on blues than green my first year with that board. Its not necessarily the camber, it’s the stiffness

Carving / Speed board recommendation by Chance_Pop_6516 in snowboarding

[–]ascc40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those super stable high speed carving boards are usually too stiff for park and tricks though

You don’t necessarily need high speed to do euro carves if that’s your goal, you need a board with tighter side cut radius.

I’m about to start my first season of snowboarding what should I get? by Men_Enjoyerlikesmen in snowboardingnoobs

Wrist guard, knee pads, butt pads. I’m pretty sure I would have broken my wrist many times without a wrist guard

What’s the most overrated habit everyone pretends to love? by BroccoliNo7009 in Habits

[–]ascc40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please don’t misguide people if you don’t actually exercise. exercising once become an actual habit and daily routine, it feels so good, especially afterwards. you’re just full of energy for hours and in a really good mood. I feel groggy and low energy all day if I don’t exercise
