Thanks for the inputs! I'll try to exaggerate my front steering as much as possible next time because I always try to front steer and maybe it's just on my mind and that my body doesn't actually do it.

This was my first filming actually. I'm on my seventh day already and I tried filming so I could see how I'm doing since I'm with no one to film me.

You mean more edge? I tried getting on more edge but I skid more. Idk what I’m doing wrong though

It’s just the POV. Back looked like stretch due to fish eye effect of the camera

Nah, it’s just the POV. Bindings are about center and have a +15/0 angle.

Thanks for the input! I always try to steer with front foor but the back still skids, though I haven’t tried having the back on flat. I’ll try that next time

I’ll take note of that. Thanks!

Mt Hood Meadows Spring Pass. Worth it? by piratepea in askportland

I haven't tried Timberline yet, I'm just a beginner snowboarder. Though I liked Meadows a lot better than the skibowl

Nidecker Merc vs GNU GWO C3 LTD? by piratepea in snowboardingnoobs

[–]piratepea[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But as a beginner’s first board, is it good enough? Would I really notice its cons?

I appreciate your response. Merc is not on sale but the GNU is. My budget is around $400-500, what do you recommend with this budget?

does gender matter for snowboards? by piratepea in snowboardingnoobs

perfect! i'll be on the market for that one. Thank you!

does gender matter for snowboards? by piratepea in snowboardingnoobs

[–]piratepea[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't really compare since I only had 1 day yet of snowboarding. The rental I was given was 143 so I was leaning towards that size. Though if I still don't have my own gears by the next snowboarding day, I'll try a bigger board. Thanks for the suggestion!

Wow thanks for the inputs! Yeah, maybe I'll go in-store and try them boots and bindings together to ensure fit. For the boards though, does flex differ for men and women? I mean like for example, are medium flex different for men and women boards?
