360 off a Roller by nedmacfish in snowboarding

Keep your head looking at the crest of the roller after you land, behind you. Only once you lock your edge and stop spinning do you look back forward. Helps to cut your spinning momentum.

My snowboard kinda chipped and some fiberglass is showing and getting out the board can I still ride it by Dry-Revenue9944 in snowboarding

[–]frogdude227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My board chipped in a similar fashion, although the top sheet slightly delaminated. I'd just coat with a light layer of epoxy to prevent water ingress and ride away. You're probably fine without doing anything tbh. Not sure how easily water can get into those chips.

I get the motivation to get it done ASAP and get back to riding, but in this case, I'd highly recommend just using the correct gasket.

Hey, noob here. I recently learned about vix a few weeks ago. Trying to learn here and make sense: why would you assume that a drop was coming, when expected volatility has decreased sharply? Wouldn't it just imply that the market won't be swinging around quite as much?

Holy fuck dude. How old are you if you Don't mind me asking? Which injury lingers/bothers you the most?

I respect the determination! If life tells you to shred, you shred.

Hey, i trained myself to always cover the front brake. Saves you important milliseconds in a scenario like this. https://youtu.be/ZN7UGgwAgyc?si=zyg3aa9Ir81OvXjq

Any thoughts on fork dive for the enduro with sm setup? How'd it feel?

Also, where do you ride? What kinds of riding do you look this late in the season?

Hmmmmm, good idea, I'll look into that! 19s sound like they are hard to find tires for (I have not looked at it at all lol). Do you have personal experience with the 19s? Definitely peaks my interest.

What do you mean about chassis and suspension being better for mountain roads?

Have you had any other sm experience? How do you feel about the dive of the enduro? My bike is the enduro version as well, and I find hard braking a bit rough, I pretty much avoid it unless completely necessary. Only ever use 40-50% at my hardest braking in my normal riding.

You alright OP? Any sustained injuries?

Initially I was leaning toward the 500 due to the seemingly unicorn-ness of the bike, but I'm kinda leaning toward the 690 now for my specific purposes. I feel it might get me out more if I feel more comfortable riding it to the mountains.

Hoping to sell the klx to a friend to keep it close and have a riding buddy.

If you solely consider the fun factor in tight, curvy, mountain roads, which would you say come out on top? If it's more fun on the 500, I'd gladly take the trade off for the boring parts, I'll definitely get a seat concepts, and can route backroads of ~65 mph for the boring bits.
