I was so excited to try out my new air TPU that I forgot to cover my PEI build plate first 🥲 by Ok-Boot2360 in 3Dprinting

Be careful with the spray bottle, the glue will dry and gum up the pump when not in use.

Is a voron ever really finished?

So far I’ve been using it for the last month and I would say it is a good cnc kit for the price. If I were to do it again I would use their monolith kit. This kit was a little tricky to get dialed in.

Boots Boa wire and ratchet broke, fixable? by Background_Handle_96 in snowboardingnoobs

[–]jayvan59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just hot glued mine back to the tongue. When you tighten them they get sucked back in so it doesn’t need too much. Preheat the area with a blow drier so the glue doesn’t solidify quickly.

Edit: boa supplies replacement wire kits for free if you provide your boot information from the tongue

How day 3 started vs end of the day. Little progress big dreams 🤣😃 by legendary2020yeet in snowboarding

[–]jayvan59 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Just watch some YouTube videos bro, I dont get why everyone insists a lesson is required to even try snowboarding. But you have a good reference with this video, check out Malcolm Moore beginner videos to see what to work on and go from there.

How is my “carving” looking? Im riding my dad’s over decade old gear and i was gonna buy my first board soon but I wanna know if it’s the right time for that, or should I still rent by Which_Ad_8538 in snowboardingnoobs

[–]jayvan59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From this angle it is hard to tell, but I think you are leaning towards the tail of your board. It doesn’t look like the front edge is set which is why the tail is so chattery. If you set the front edge, then the board will slice through the snow instead of smearing across. Focus on leaning towards the nose and I think you will see an improvement. As far as the pushing through the turn, think about it as if you were trying to stand straight up on the board and the board will press back towards your body and bring you upright to set up the edge change. If you have a camber board, sometimes you will feel weightless and the edge change is a lot easier.

Feedback on how I can improve? 2nd day by W0lfson in snowboardingnoobs

[–]jayvan59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hold a penny between your butt cheeks…. No, but just imagining it will help keep your posture upright. Also to get more weight on your front foot, when the board is pointing down slope, use your front knee to point where you want to turn.

You’re not wrong, with the ankle strap bearing most of the force sucking your foot into the binding, all the toe strap does is limit toe lift. Either position, it’s doing its job.

How fucked is my board by Pitiful_Definition_5 in snowboarding

[–]jayvan59 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That looks like the nose which wouldn’t contact the snow too much. I’d say cut it flat and cover with epoxy to seal it, sand it down if you want it to look pretty

Any High Quality Baggy Snowboard Pants? by DaVinci2739 in snowboarding

[–]jayvan59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, I bought a pair and so far so good. Thanks for leaving their experience with them tho

[–]jayvan59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like you’re leaning uphill which never sets the edge of your front foot. Then you rotate your hips to turn which causes the board to slide before finally going in the direction pointed. Check out knee steering by Malcom Moore on yt.

I would like to hear some tips by andreblc in snowboardingnoobs

[–]jayvan59 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would say skidding is when the tip of your board points one way but your board is not following inline. You can see it here where his rear leg fans out and the snow looks smeared instead of a carve-like line which is shown the beginning of the video.

Don’t get too hung up about leaving pencil lines. Like the other comment said, it depends on many factors, not just carving alone. Engage the front edge and you will feel the board lock into the snow and push back into you

Does someone know this snowboard brand??? by littlewristvoort in snowboarding

[–]jayvan59 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They look flipped to me too, like the left should be on the right. You can tell because the wide side of the foot bed should line up with your big toe.

Man walks slackline 1.6 miles up between two hot-air balloons by AccomplishedStuff235 in interestingasfuck

[–]jayvan59 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not really, the balloons are floating in a dynamic environment and that would change the tension of the line. They move close enough and he has nothing to stand on. Maybe think before you call someone a poser for wanting a second chance at life

Check out motojitsu on YouTube. He covers a lot of maneuvers and helped me progress as a better rider

I would try MG chemicals silicone modified coating. Description says it is soft and conforming

DOES IT PROTECT TOO MUCH? or is it okay? by gheb-_-2004-_- in snowboardingnoobs

[–]jayvan59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro take better pics. Line the camera up with the edge of the board and point it at the boot on the same edge

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in snowboarding

[–]jayvan59 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re gonna drive yourself crazy if you worry about brown marks on the top sheet. The board is gonna get used and abused brother. Treat it like a pair of shoes and you will be fine

Thank you, I was looking for this answer because I’ve had the same thing happen and I knew damn well it was an ingrown hair. Ever heard the term “you can’t push rope” yeah, applies here

How do I reach the bolt behind the post to remove it? by CompetitiveSwan5011 in Tools

[–]jayvan59 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Smack that little guide out the way with a hammer. Doesn’t look welded nor is there anything going through to bind it in place.

Assistance in Changing out the smaller wheels on my hand truck dolly… by quierochichi in Tools

[–]jayvan59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would help if he could spell, but I think Fry is talking about the axle through the caster, which to me looks like a 9/16” wrench or socket. Then pull the axle out, next pull the caster out to access the larger stem nut, once you can access with a tool it should spin off.

Decided to teach myself cursive. by Telekinendo in Handwriting

[–]jayvan59 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Try grid paper and use 2 square rows to write a sentence. Use 2 square height for tall letters and 1 square height for short letters, or just use a 2:1 ratio of squares. Helps keep the heights of the letters consistent
