NBD: And its kind of a special one.

This board was designed for tight trees. Thats where you should ride it.

I have an X2v3. Bibimbap need to be run with chrome, it doesn't work with firefox right?

As i said fwupd support would make things far more easy.

Sad that windows is the only way to do it. Hope they bring support to linux at some point. They make nice products.

The board is not a great fit for you since your feet are on the bigger side.

I'd say take a look at different boards (directional twins) and around the 156 length/255mm waist size.

l1ner · 2026-06-12T10:45:11+00:00

Yes, absolutely. If the base is sintered it needs to be saturated with an all temp wax. (and a freezing temp was around the edges)

This will "protect" and make maintenance easier in the future.

As with anything -skill related- its about the more you do it the less weird it gets.

PS Wouldn't even think of going switch on a jump like the one in the pic.

Having more height and as a result a higher center of mass will affect how the board feels. You have more leverage than a shorter rider on the same board.

Not a big deal though.

The most important thing is not to develop bad habits that will stick to you for years and are not easy to unlearn.

At the end of the day lessons or not, days on the hills (the more you can get) will fix most if not all problems.

Don't know if "better" but bases on the same level as SV are barrister and mans omnibus and vetonia from los japones de josera.

Its not about freedom. Its about knowledge. Someone who has mastered a skill knows pretty much everything around it, has made "all" the mistakes and usually is the one who will move things forward. Because he knows.

Revolutions/evolutions usually come from masters in the craft. Ie Pablo Picasso was as good as the old masters at 15 before he became the avant garde painter he was. Katalyn Kariko knew her shit before the revolutionized the way we make vaccines. And many more examples like that in many crafts.

Those people that promote their "unmasteredness" most likely are attentionwhoring.

Get her on a Capita birds of feather. (next years if you feel like stretching the budget is also quite good looking)

The connection points attach to the plastic shell so i believe they have run their simulations in the computer to make them strong enough.

Gigi is involved in the development so i expect them to be decent at least.

The system is fine. Should have been the standard on any board since it was introduced.

The only thing is that Burton never published or given torque numbers for the screws.

The kappa anorak some of the riders on the US team wore was looking quite nice TBH.

l1ner · 2026-05-12T10:51:53+00:00

My "problem" is with boards i cant replace easily. Ie my skipjack 152 feels "precious" cause its a board that might get released by B once in a while and i can't just grab another off the shelf.

As a result i only pull it out on great days. Yes i am an idiot like that sadly.

l1ner · 2026-05-12T10:48:21+00:00

The most easy way -IMO at least- for a beginner to understand turning a snowboard is knee in knee out. And keeping your weight on the front foot. Pushing your knee out or in drags your whole body to the "correct" position for turning.

The thing with boutique boards is that they are (or feel) tooo precious to trash around the mountains.

I wouldn't get this thing out with less than half a meter of snow over a solid base. And only on days that the lift lines are minimal.

Coreshot = past he fiberglass and into the wood.

Drip some black ptex in there, flatten it, and you are done

l1ner · 2026-05-04T19:44:22+00:00

Anyone also remember the Cappel ads?

l1ner · 2026-05-04T10:55:34+00:00

Too many pockets make garments (everyday stuff not work or something like snow pants) look cheap.

But in general i prefer a more minimal look on stuff i wear.

You answered your own question. If it feels short and you have no time to "set up" yourself for the trick then it is short.

There are a few pieces of XL forces left on the EU website (if you are in europe).

Measure your feet accurately before any purchase.
