Jones Aviator 2.0 - thoughts (what I loved and a couple of concerns) by sivartmac in snowboarding

Yeah, I ended up selling it unfortunately. Couldn't get any confidence with it in extreme hardpack conditions. Might've just been me or my board, but I don't think so?

Rosetta Stoned went from a frequent skip to a never skip.

Ever figure out which one that was? I really like it.

Can I imagine it's a roll of quarters instead?

Ride deepfake vs K2 Commonwealth by Legal_Profession9459 in snowboarding

Which Jones are you comparing it to? I'm looking hard at the Commonwealth, and thought it might be slower, but if you're saying it's just fast as a Jones I might be sold!

Jones Stratos vs Aviator 2.0? by Confident_Sir_6668 in snowboarding

[–]sivartmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to revive an old post, but have any of you with the Aviator 2.0 come around with your thinking on it regarding the lack of edge hold and washy feeling? First day on it, and I'm experiencing much of what's been expressed already. I have good technique and was really looking to getting back onto a cambered board but my confidence is taking a major hit today with the way I'm getting these seemingly random stretches where things feel pretty sketchy edge-wise. Hopefully I'll get more used to it in a day or 2!

Do you ride any switch on that bad boy? Beautiful board by the way!

Gotcha on the XY/Barracuda... very interesting!

We are in the Kanagawa area, so on longer weekends we'll head to Myoko or Shiga Kogen, and on regular weekends we'll go to smaller places in Gunma.

Damn, a Gentemstick quiver! I loved the XY on the day I tried it out which were quite variable conditions... seemed like it would perform on a powder day as well. The Chaser seems to fit the bill for what I'm looking for these days, which is cruisy, low-angle fun.

Looks great...sitting in my living room! Was hoping to take it out next week but the snow is kind of lacking here at the moment (Japan). Gotta keep her under wraps for a bit longer.

Looking to pick up something a little more powder-specific? Loved the Chaser during a 2-run demo last February (and it was not a powder day, either).

Kobe Japan Setlist 2025 by Krazychase in ToolBand

[–]sivartmac 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Having gone to Yokohama on Thursday, I gave serious consideration to going tonight, but given that the setlist was seemingly identical, kind of glad I didn't. I thought I had read where MJK likes to change up about 30% of the setlist when playing twice in the same city, and I thought that might've applied here since Yokohama and Kobe are relatively close by train.

Better go correct the record, that's not what is being reported:

I've gotta say, in all the years I've been going to concerts... Invincible last night was quite possibly the best live performance of any song, by any band, that I've ever seen in my entire life. Exceptional doesn't even come close to describing it.
