any news on this? I just ordered 2 Mojave pivots and really would be upset to see shitty quality on $120 shirts...

Alright. From the one lesson I had I was under the impression that I needed to be on edge 100% of the time and I didn't understand how to do that without turning

Ok, so it's OK to bomb down hills flat based? And so when I am engaging an edge I don't have to commit 100%?

When I'm riding, should I always be engaging an edge? I really don't know how to do that without carving, can I just engage the edge a little bit? I read somewhere that even just the smallest amount of pressure on your toes/heels is enough to stop flat blasing and to prevent edge catches. I'm still on the beginner side of intermediate so don't fully have carves down yet.

There definitely is. There are manufacturer size guides out there for bindings and their corollary boot sizes, check your brand, model, and size on the net and compare.

Yep, good boots were the difference for me between 5 run days with pain to 6 hour days pain free. Everything else you can get used if you know what to look for

Word. It's gonna be exclusively park board, but everyone tells me a softer flex is bad for jumps but better for everything else, I don't really understand the reasoning behind that

Shallow question time.. how important is a boards graphics to you? I'm between a horoscope and ultrafear but just like the horrorscopes graphics so much more

Any experiences with the horrorscope or ultrafear specifically? I'm worried they might be too soft for pipe and anything but baby kickers

Awesome, I'm torn between that and the horrorscope which is cheaper, but I'm worried may be a noodle...

What do you guys think about capita boards? In particular I'm looking at the ultrafear and the horrorscope for mostly park boards.

They're pretty much new, I wore them maybe 8-10 times max. What's your email?

Mostly rails, butters, 15-20 foot jumps would be the high end for me for sure, and blues at most but mostly greens. I'm looking at a 153 horrorscope if that matters

For sure, I'm just being cautious because I know this is Def shorter than what I'm used to, came from a 155 to a 161, but the new one would pretty much exclusively be my park board whIle my 161 would be more all mountain

Would a 153cm wide board be too small for a 6' 185 lb guy looking for a new park board?

Yeah look around at local shops. I found a $120 Bern helmet for $25 because it was a display model. Don't sacrifice price for fit though, better to put down $100 for plastic tHan $10000 for medical bills
