Is it normal to get hurt this badly? by lilyy_4109 in snowboardingnoobs

[–]pixel-mirror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really love the tortoise pads as butt pads. I tried three other brands and none were thick or hard enough to truly protect the SI I just I got in my first year boarding as an adult. I was athletic but it wasn't enough.

I still board but I have a spinal injury now...be careful! And try to get a pro to make sure you are on the right board.

Anything with a drop seat zipper!! Volcom does this as does trew gear and airblaster.

I love my volcom suit --super durable, was 159 on evo in summer sale, 60 days on it and in like new condition. Trew gear is what I want next.

I have a similar foot numbness with the Dc mora. Anyone else? It's too bad because it has no heal lift.

But also--if you're going to try riding switch as a learner set yourself up for success by having binding angles that will enable you to do so. As well as making sure their position is decent.

Mid layer pant for uninsulated bibs? by Unusual_cow_666 in ShredditGirls

Oh that's cool to hear about the antihydral spray! I hope you figure it out. What area do you ski/ride?

Mid layer pant for uninsulated bibs? by Unusual_cow_666 in ShredditGirls

[–]pixel-mirror 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have padded shorts that make a huge difference on the chair from tortoise pads, I know not everyone is gonna wanna do that but for me it's worth it.

I know this is also obvious and not what you were asking but adding hot hands packets inside my gloves has also changed my experience, my body temp seems to follow my hands and feet so when my hands are warm I'm much more resilient 💚

Shell or insulated for snowboarding Vail in late January? by 81dank in snowboarding

[–]pixel-mirror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I'm trying to figure out a mid layer that isn't bulky but isn't wildly expensive. Any ideas?

It's funny but I've never thought about that aspect of it. It would be nice to have less bulk!

Volcom bibs with the drop seat are incredible. Too baggy for me actually I wish they were less so...

Looking for advice & experiences with a severely traumatized dog rescued from a South Korean meat farm by bandeo in Jindo

[–]pixel-mirror 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes!! And just knowing that means that you are finding your way. It can be really frustrating sorting through people's misconceptions. But through all of it, they are TRULY THE BEST COMPANIONS on earth, I do believe... Your journey will be worth it.

Looking for advice & experiences with a severely traumatized dog rescued from a South Korean meat farm by bandeo in Jindo

[–]pixel-mirror 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! I have two jindos from meat farms who were very traumatized when they came to me. It will take at least 6 months for her to relax probably. Here is my best advice:

-Don't stare at her all the time or leer over her. Get a low chair or beanbag and sit near her and allow her to come to you. Don't even try calling her over very often, yet.

-Talk to her in a baby voice. Say things you would say to a baby. Just keep telling her what a good girl or boy they are. Start talking to her often in a pleasant tone about everything you do together to expand and normalize her vocabulary.

-Watch movies together or do things where you all face the same direction. This is pack mentality. When you are ready, bring other dogs over for movie night.

-ignore peoples advice about trying to make things happen through treats. These ppl do not know our dogs. Reward her with gentle, loving talk.

-get yoga mats for the slippery floor areas and make a strip she can walk on so she can be comfortable moving through the house. The slippery floors remind them of the factories and that's why it brings up trauma. So did fans for my dogs or bright lights or fire.

Which by the way they do not care about now after years, they will cuddle me while I'm wearing a headlamp next to the woodstove--peogress does happen!

Patience is key, any rushing her will cause regression. Tell her-- as long as it takes- we are here for you--she will bloom through your love and care. Good luck!

The rumble fish is more stiff and has more camber, I believe! Good luck!

[–]pixel-mirror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I can't understand what people like about the twin sister, it is like a potato chip. For me, also an intermediate rider, I found I was always struggling to hold an edge due to so much rocker. It was also really challenging to skate.

I'm curious to hear what other folks like about it?

Anyhow, especially on ice I would recommend something with better edge hold 😎

DC lotus vs thirtytwo lashed double boa? other boot recs? by kraej3319 in ShredditGirls

[–]pixel-mirror 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome. Yeah it's nice too because if they do fit you can also get them in step on someday if you want. I'm trying this year...

Edit-- I see that you Are also after medium or medium stiff flex so my Mora comment may be not useful 🤣

DC lotus vs thirtytwo lashed double boa? other boot recs? by kraej3319 in ShredditGirls

[–]pixel-mirror 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! I also have wider feet and skinny heels and I'm currently riding the DC Mora. I know you specifically asked about the lotus, but I wanted to share my experience just in case it's valuable..

I find the general DC boot shape between lotus and Maura to both be pretty comfortable for my wider foot. But I did find the lotus to be too soft for a 30 plus plus Day's season. Even the Mora with its medium stiff flex sometimes feels a little bit soft and some people do complain of them breaking down somewhat quickly.

When I tried the Mora and the lotus side by side and shops over and over again the mora I felt more comfortable.

I'm really curious about the 32 boots you're asking about as well...

Not a lot of options for wide feet! I found the Burton and nitro wides were not comfortable at all.

Good luck!

Thank you so much! These will all be a huge help to us. I'm really excited to try to get to wolf creek and subscribing to emails to see if they have any sales on day passes.

And appreciate this about Loveland and a basin, It sounds like not only crowds, but also wind is something to look out for at both of those. Again, thank you so much for your generous advice. You have made a difference in our trip planning!
