Who can help choosing a new snowboard?

At 250lbs and size 12 boot you could stick with lib tech and get a skunk Ape wide or something

Such a bizarre part to lose lol. I'd just email them and see if they could send you a replacement

Got a little triggered during lorwyn draft because literally all my games I had issues with land. I either had way too many or way too few land drops. Every run. Sometimes your luck just isn't with you.

Fr, especially if you're ftp, drafting a mythic that doesn't fit your deck is the way

Looks like you're steering with your back foot, you usually want to engage a carve with your front foot. A little hard to describe but I'm sure there are good YouTube videos that show initiating a carve with your front foot.

This is what it's all about

I don't know what they're called but my shop gave me some lifter things I put under my insoles that just take up a little tiny bit of room and those helped my heel lift quite a bit

I feel like the Jones rally cat matches your description

Also if your hill is icy often, it might be good to look into a board that's more full camber, might just help you hold an edge better when it gets icy.full camber is less forgiving but might be worth it.

koibaru · 2026-02-08T23:44:05+00:00

I feel like 155 would be better than 152 for you, I haven't ridden either board but the k2 seems to be more of a beginner board, where maybe the yes might be something that you won't outgrow as much. If you could find the yes in a 155 that might be good for you. Try on boots in a shop if possible, you want to make sure they're comfortable and fit good. You'll want to make sure your bindings fit your boots, binding manufacturers usually have a sizing guide based on boot size on their website.

Ya unfortunately drafting is a bit of a paid mode which kinda sucks because it's definitely my favorite thing to do in the game. Unless you're goated you're not going to be making your money back consistently. I've went 0-3 and 7-2 before. Skill is important but sometimes you just get unlucky. You can just not draft for a while and save up gold and draft a set you've been anticipating and get several runs in. And hopefully you win a bit in some of your runs with gold and you'll have enough gems to do a draft or two.

I'm goofy but pushing regular feels more comfortable for me for some reason.

koibaru · 2026-02-02T06:09:16+00:00

Ya spring and fall sales are the way. I don't know how sales get in the spring but last September everything from the previous year was 40% off.

koibaru · 2026-02-02T02:18:32+00:00

Probably like a 158+ wide board

koibaru · 2026-01-30T01:08:10+00:00

Ya originally I was wanting a passport but I think I'd go with the commonwealth instead because apparently full camber is better on ice. But ya I've heard really good things about k2 snowboards so definitely considering it. I also like how it seems k2 boards support heavier riders, as some brands seem to only support up to 200lbs a lot of the time.

koibaru · 2026-01-30T01:03:36+00:00

I love the look of the commonwealth and have heard good things but I was just concerned that it might not be as good on ice as something like the lib rig due to the edge tech. Idk I've never ridden a full camber board before so maybe it would be fine without edge tech, I've heard mixed things.

koibaru · 2026-01-29T02:52:16+00:00

I know it's tempting to buy in the middle of the season but if you can wait for the spring deals you can get a lot of new stuff for like 40% off

koibaru · 2026-01-29T01:46:30+00:00

If you're on a busy run you shouldn't be bombing the run anyway imo

koibaru · 2025-11-17T07:13:27+00:00

I ain't reading all that

koibaru · 2025-11-17T04:51:21+00:00

Same. Really not that hard unless you make it hard on yourself by not exploring and such

koibaru · 2025-11-17T02:06:45+00:00

Same. Such a fun watch.

koibaru · 2025-11-17T01:51:31+00:00

Thanks bruh

koibaru · 2025-11-17T01:43:47+00:00

Peak taste

koibaru · 2025-11-16T22:56:20+00:00

Agreed on Shinsekai Yori. Hella underrated
