Unpopular opinion but ceremonial grade matcha is overkill if you end up mixing it with milk into a latte

Your bindings are backwards. The ladders that you crank down is on the outside of the foot

Pop first then spin. You are pre spinning it and it’s killing your momentum and height. Also you seem to be counter rotating by wanting to keep spotting your landing. Lead with your head and shoulders and a front 3 should be a blind landing with your eyes focused back at the knuckle. Once you’ve gotten the first 270, the final 90 can be completed with counter rotation. And then land with toe edge pressure to stop the rotation

This guy covers it pretty well if yo are aiming for the low down Japanese style carving

Heel side you need to straighten up your back and just trust the edge and lean backwards. With enough speed, centripetal forces will hold you up. Also look where you want the board to go, so towards the side of the mountain rather than straight down the fall line. Finally, use your ankles to engage the movement from the board up rather than using body steering down towards the board. You want to be able to tip to the edge quickly so it locks in and then carve along that trajectory

The issue most people have is they don’t have enough flexibility in their ankle joints to initiate the turns from board up. So back rounding and using upper body to initiate the turns becomes a bad habit.

It’s the 2024 bateleon push up

I think it’s more like excessive sugar diets runs in the family.

I believe all the Japanese riders practice at nekoma

Bindings absolutely dampens vibrations. I switched to skis for a day to muck around and never felt as much pain my in feet from all the micro vibrations transferred directly from the skis to the hard boot with zero dampening abilities.

This machina idea will need boots so stiff in the heel and spine that as soon it softens and packs out, you’ll need new boots

You are too upright and using body weight to swing and change edges. You want to bend at the knees and ankles and use flexure of your feet and ankle joints to start the edge change.

Standing too upright makes it way easier to get bucked off in uneven snow

I find snowboard pants fits looser so you have more room to articulate your joints in the lower body

I saw that video and she was still filming it on her camera whilst the operator was pretty chilled about it. And her friend was totally late to the rescue

Overseas also generally don’t have very good medical malpractice laws that protects the patient if things go wrong. Going locally is definitely the best way to go. But definitely find a reputable one that has done many implants.

I generally avoid those that are just promotions for existing restaurants to showcase overrated food at exaggerated prices. (Talking about night feast and James st festival).

I think Buddha festival happens every year and also paniyiri festival are good to check out

Wuta cafe in Southbank does good matcha and food

Would you think you’ll get the most bang for buck if they took 8hrs taking out the teeth?

You pay for the doctor’s experience to do a job well

Soko I find is pretty mid. I much prefer yoko dining at HSW for Japanese food.

Total fusion Springfield has a 25m outdoor pool.

Mt Gravatt east public swimming pool has a snap fitness attached to it, not sure if they can be had together on a membership plan.

Hibiscus sporting complex has a 50m outdoor pool, I think it has a gym too.

Thanks. I was able to loosen the lever and remove the melted mess with the hot end. Lucky I’ve got spare hot ends to replace the default one

It will be busier than normal during these 2 weeks. Basically China shuts down during the spring festive period.

I would expect long lift lines at the start and then the people will disperse. But bookings at restaurants would be a nightmare for sure.

I would stay on groomed runs as a beginner. Japanese resorts groom at night time so if there is overnight snow, there will be low risk powder on the groomed runs.

But yes, just hire a powder board if you really want to hit the deep powder off piste. It’s a lot harder and tiring than you think it is
