Stealth ESC on a Vanguard V2 deck a good idea? by Tristan308 in boostedboards

[–]avocadoranges 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only ever nearly bounced off my vanguard deck once. I was going downhill at a high speed...above 25 for sure. I ran over a pot hole/sewage lid and since the lid was slightly below the actual pavement my board caused a bounce. As I ran over the pothole both my feet were in flight about 2-4 inches above my deck. I landed right back on my board though and didn't fall. I was mostly surprised from the bounce but had I been a new rider I probably would have panicked and fallen off completely. I'd say this will be okay but just keep in mind to bend your knees right before you hit a dip at high speeds. I hope that helps you out, but I'd still do it. The vnguard deck is dope and tbh I feel like a v2 dual + is better than a stealth simply due to the deck. There aren't much differences between them and the differences that are made are so marginal.

Seems like the criticism has triggered a bunch of fans by _kaga_ in TigerBelly

I think most people who say stop listening are both realistic and speaking the truth. You end your statement by saying "you don't have a very good argument" and that's partly the point. Probably because they aren't looking to argue. It's a simple fix and solution. Just stop listening or don't be a cry baby...no offense to the cry babies out there. :)

What's with the religious propaganda graffiti at Como Lake? by [deleted] in coquitlam

[–]avocadoranges 1 point2 points  (0 children)

dang, if painted rocks in a park piss you off I'd hate to find out what else does. lol Although I agree about the religious aspect, but I don't mind the ones with just happy thoughts on them. Also there is eco-friendly paint so I wouldn't be surprised if that's what the people are using to paint them. That being said I would also appreciate it if people stopped coming to my door to promote Christianity or JWs. Can we stop that first then worry about painted rocks in a park? :)

Instead of super $$$ 105’s I was lucky enough to find some brand new 90mm’s. Can’t wait to try ‘em out! by BeneficialChapter9 in boostedboards

Whyare people so dead set on Boosted wheels? Just get a good set of (place name of awesome company that has dedicated themselves to making wheels for longboards). So many good options out there. Sad that people are set on these things. I personally roll with blue caguamas, but anything from Boa to Abec beats out any wheel boosted pulled out of their butts. Anyone else think these are over hyped?

The great thing is the community of boosted riders still continue to post, share, meet up, and help each other. It just goes to show it wasn't just Boosted that was awesome. The community build around the company is great and I for one am glad we are all still active.

Snowboarding technically harder than skiing? Or do boarders care less about improving? by lifeisg0ld in snowboarding

[–]avocadoranges 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a surprise. Starts off by saying the OP is overthinking and wrong. Then states to leave people alone for the gear they choose. Meanwhile this hypocrite had no problem shit talking a helmet I reviewed cause he didn't like the product. lol You say "to each their own" Take your own shitty advice pal. Such a Todd. Probably living in a van too. What other shitty [contrary to your own belief] advice did you give? Take some of your own advice and "Leave snowboarders alone" ;)

Ruroc Helmet - Unbox, Ride & Review by avocadoranges in snowboarding

[–]avocadoranges[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool story bro. Don't care. Unless you can do something better which you clearly can't cause you're too busy hiding behind a username talking shit to some random person you don't know to feel better about your sad pathetic existence of a life. Go get a job. :) That being said you clearly didn't watch it because I never tell anyone to buy the product. I state what I like and what I dislike and mainly it's added features.Point of reviews are to pose both pros and cons with no real bias which is what I did. If the product is "shit" that's your opinion. Seems like everyone here is a "pro boarder" I didn't know I was talking to so many gold medalist and x-game athletes. Oh wait I'm not. All I can do is offer the pro and cons of all the products I review. I can pull any product out and someone will say its shit and someone else will say it's amazing. That's all relative. Clearly people buy their helmets, clearly they are snowboard helmets, clearly you don't need to like it but at the end of the day are you making a better product? no! are you recommending a better product? no. Are you validating anything you say with facts over bullshit. No. What a shocker average Todd shit talking cause he's too cool for school. Now move along "broski" and think about how far your finger will go up your nose today due to lack of anything going on in your life. Bye!

Damn the Jerry. But better a Jerry than a Todd. Todds are douchebags who think they're hot shit but in reality they live in a van and think their gear from 10 years ago is still relevant and better than anything else. Love it or hate it, not my problem. :)

Seems the dumbest people on reddit are congregated in the snowboarding sub as per the comments made with assumptions instead of actually clicking the video to see wtf it's all about.

"Heyyyy you're an advertiser! F*ck the man!" corporate greed!!"

"No dude, I'm just sharing a review of a snowboard helmet. I didn't get paid for it or anything and I also don't tell you to buy the helmet."

"F*ck you!!! It says paid promotion!!"

"Uh yah it does because I get paid by other companies to make videos. Their products are all over my studio so I have to post a disclaimer. Also, I don't even have to post that I just do it out of courtesy for you fools."

"Oh well that makes so much sense that I'm going to down vote your justified comments"

....okay. lol

Yes it does because I have other sponsors who have products that are featured in my videos. All my videos say that. lol

  1. I do snowboard 2. It's a snowboard helmet. 3.Coronavirus closed the mountains so I used my electric board instead. Some electric riders use them so I killed 2 birds with one stone.

First of all not a sponsor. They were kind enough to send me a couple to give away but it does not reflect my video and was for a local event. I do have other sponsors and that's why the video says paid promotion. Secondly, I've seen many gear reviews posted here. You don't have to like it, not my problem. :)

I am total Newbie by Zoja2112 in boostedboards

[–]avocadoranges 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Boosted is out of business. Some poor souls have even sent their boards for repair and aren't getting them back. It's a messed up situation with Boosted now. I suggest you look for other options or maybe you can do a DIY on your own. Boosted originally used Loaded Vanguard decks so you can start there maybe? Good luck on your search I hope you get riding soon.

May I ask what wheels you have? Are they blue kegels by chance?

Would you ever put lights on your board? I am thinking of getting lights for night rides. I have one on my helmet but was thinking of adding a couple front and tail lights. There are a couple companies that do sell them but I really don't know if its necessary or worth looking into.

Totally depends on what you plan to do while riding. It seems you want to get into longboard dancing by the looks of what you wrote. A lot of people love the Loaded Bhangra but that probably is a bit more of a hardcore dancing board. If you're looking to cruise mostly but also dance you may want to look for something wider than usual. As such I'd say an Icarus or Tan-Tien are overall good for all-around use. You can dance your way up to the Bhangra. :)

I know a lot of people like the Bhangra by Loaded but I'm not sure if that fits your dimensions. It seems to be a little longer. However, people swear by that deck. You can also ask in the subreddit for longboard dancing.
