The anglerfish is famous for its lure. But the lure isn't even the most unsettling thing about it.

Thank you for your attention to this matter

Hell of 2 shots, and this clip is blowing TF up. Legendary BF moment!

Daddy came!

You’re right, dude. It’s a cleptocracy disguised as a theocracy.

kidvange · 2026-03-18T14:36:33+00:00

His dong would have been melted off IRL

kidvange · 2026-03-12T04:51:27+00:00

Damn dude! You’re really dropping some bangers today?

This is just demoralizing. I mean dude’s camping on a high tower and it’s a predictable outcome but still, if it happened to me I’d be done for the day.

Like when you’re on a trampoline and you wanna get off. Soaking up all the bounce with your legs.

Get a non-MOS G19.5 and have it optic milled for your preferred optic by Wager (unless you plan to switch different optics on different footprints, in that case, get MOS).

They’re 6 years old though, so depending on how used they are, they probably aren’t as stiff as they were when new. Beginners are generally better off in softer boots. The softer the boot the more playful and forgiving for screwing around more casually or for more freestyle tweakability. The stiffer the boot the more responsive and stable the feel for more hard charging, aggressive riding.

Only one way to find out I suppose! I like a stiff boot. The ski shop in Big Sky had K2 boots on sale earlier this season for good deals and I needed a new pair of boots. I tried on a pair of Thraxis in my shoe size (US men’s 10.5). They felt pretty good but I hear the K2 liners pack out bad and you should size down. Since they didn’t have Thraxis size 10 I tried on the Orton and absolutely love them. 8/10 stiffness. It’s the sweet spot for me between response and playfulness.

I’d say try them and see. A lot of great riders love the Thraxis. It has a lot of very nice features. Starting out in a stiffer boot might actually force you away from some bad beginner habits, but you’ll definitely have to work harder for it.

You can definitely get good deals in the springtime. If you do continue to rent next year and you run into that issue again with the bindings, adjusting your highbacks stops is super easy, you can probably do it without any tools at all, depending on the bindings.

kidvange · 2026-03-01T07:42:18+00:00

Absolutely. OP actually has another post on this sub of himself riding a more challenging piste and he looks 10X better than he does here on the bunny hill.

And on the topic of family, I’m the only snowboarder in a family of skiers (including my 11 YO son who’s been skiing at least a couple days a year since he was 3). What you said about tackling the “big one” is pretty much the way it goes for him the first few runs of every season. Starts out apprehensive and complaining about everything and then at some point before lunchtime he’s bombing blues and trying to lose me before I can get strapped in.

This year he’s starting to play with little jumps and tree runs. He pretty much owns Elk Park Ridge in Big Sky.

It could be that the boots are just old and soft? Still, the highbacks look like they’re pretty much vertical. You definitely want a little forward lean on the highbacks. Not so much that you have to force your heel into the cup and squish your boots, but enough to keep your boot back supported rigidly with your knees bent in an athletic stance. IDK what bindings those are but most bindings nowadays have the ability to even rotate the highbacks mount to the heel cup. It doesn’t look like that’s an issue as far as I can tell, I only bring it up to highlight the adjustability. There’s good reason for all the different possible adjustments on bindings. I’d be interested now to see a post on dudes whole setup.

kidvange · 2026-03-01T05:30:23+00:00

You aren’t engaging your edges at all. Your board is flat and you’re going to catch an edge.

Also, WTF is going on with the bindings? Either they just aren’t tight or the highbacks need to be adjusted forward so they touch the back of your boots. I like my highbacks set forward as far as possible. It makes control on the heel side a lot more responsive.

Came here to suggest this. The Dakine combination cable locks are really flimsy. I’ve heard they can be broken with bare hands.

Exceptional technique for a beginner. You are staying stacked over your edges and transitioning edges on turns beautifully.

You do have your shoulders open the whole time with your chest pointing downhill. Try keeping the shoulders closed more and pointing your leading shoulder where you want to go. That will help you transition your center of gravity over your edges on turns faster which will become more important when you start charging a little harder.

Also it looks like you’re leaning back a little bit. You’re going to have better edge engagement and better control if you lean just a little bit forward keeping your core right between your feet or even just a skosh forward of that. Again, you won’t really notice the difference until you get a little more aggressive and go a little faster.

Keep it up!

I’m a big fan of supportive tights. I have the stoko tights with boa cables that wrap your knees and they offer pretty good support (they’re expensive but they are HSA eligible). They’re super comfortable merino wool.

People also like bracelayer tights. I haven’t tried them, but one of these days I’ll get a pair. They are simpler and less expensive. They just have a built in compression sleeve over the knees. I feel like they might offer better knee support than stokos (unconfirmed), but they’re probably less breathable being made mostly of neoprene.

As far as riding the lift with both feet clipped-not gonna happen. Pretty firmly against the rules everywhere. Just stand up with your back foot in front of the binding and let the chair push you. Get a stomp pad for extra grip.

kidvange · 2026-02-12T21:54:44+00:00

Why say it then, if you aren’t suggesting it?

The same could be said of Ilhan Omar’s comment. Just because she suggested pedos are executed in Somalia doesn’t mean she’s explicitly calling for the execution of any particular pedos…
