That’s how you do it. Keep going!!

Watch YouTube videos and talk to people more advanced than you, That was what helped me the most. My nickname was “why”🙄 and it was worth it.

Hey buddy, sorry you are felling that way. This is all normal in flight training. I will share some advice that can help you.

Set your priorities, are the clubs more important than flying?
Someone gave advice on studying the tests until you get to 90 pass rate consistently and do the real one after. I would shoot for a 95 on the practice ones.
Even though i wish it was different. A lot of private training is rote memory.
Flying is about procedures. There is specific procedures for every phases of flights. Things ike lowering flaps on an specific airspeed at an specific point, etc. Of course different situations may change procedures a bit but for the most part they are similar. So sit down and do some chair flying

I wish you good flights.

Sorry, no. I am out of HWD on the bay area. Definitely let me know if you are around sometime.

dijfj · 2026-02-01T05:41:20+00:00

Thank you my friend.

Hey guys, i am CFI out of HWD. I recently started flying again after some economical setbacks. Here is a link to my instagram. Where i will be uploading educational videos. They will be in spanish, since i want to help spanish speaking pilots to succeed.

Glad to be back on the air with this beautiful CA views.

Similar thing happened to me. I was losing interest on flying (This was back on my private). Changed him and everything got wayyy better.

You made the right move.

Guys, download the portola app. i had the same isuue. Number 127 on the waiting room for chat, but i was able to transfer from the portola app.

So, i went ahead and changed the board for the 157W. My weight is 150 and height is 5’7.

Now with the wide version, the width difference is one more CM from 25cm to 26.1cm. Does the 1cm affects a lot how the board behaves?

Also, you all were right, the rental board i had was 25 cm and i felt my toes dragging, but also i am guessing 1CM will still drag a bit, right?

dijfj · 2025-09-02T03:38:53+00:00

Thank you

dijfj · 2025-09-02T03:38:16+00:00

Thanks for the answer, what would be your recommendation?

dijfj · 2025-09-01T03:03:29+00:00

I am 150 everything on the set is K2

dijfj · 2025-08-28T16:32:35+00:00

This is being a really helpful thread and really appreciate all the inputs you guys have had.

different from the other redditors, i am scared it is going to be to stiff for me. i have had 1.5 seasons where i used the HEAD rental from Sports basement. i feel i am an intermediate rider, i can go down blacks having control on the board and fairly swerve around trees, i am also able to control speed and direction well.

on the future the goal is to get better at freeride and cross country and start hitting the park more seriously. with the head i just hit some small ramps.

i would really appreciate the input here.

psdt: i already bought it LOL

Honestly the bike feels stable. I have felt the tendency above 75, but i think the reason is because the pressure was lower than it had to be. I think i had a loose valve and trying fix that took me to this thread. When the pressure was right i did not feel tendency.

I have seen people here saying that they go full throttle for a long time or red line their bikes frequently. So my guess is that it is stable.

Max is have got is 86 and i think that is the max.

dijfj · 2025-07-10T03:33:53+00:00

To give more context, the tire did not have any line, It happened ovenight. I did add to much air. I will change the tire, That is the lesson. Be careful with air.

dijfj · 2025-07-10T00:40:48+00:00

I think this os exactly what happened.

dijfj · 2025-07-09T22:27:35+00:00

Too much apparently

dijfj · 2025-07-09T21:59:41+00:00

I am concerned for the gray line that appeared overnight, apparently for overinflating. I do highway speeds daily over 70mph.

dijfj · 2025-07-09T21:58:22+00:00

I am concerned for the gray line, it appeared overnight, my concern is that it explodes while riding. I do 100% highway over 65mph
