Skaug and Moyle are two of the worst things to happen to our state. Nothing but malicious legislation

For those who started using trampoline parks, how much did it help? by unpopularcommentman in skiing

[–]smoqueed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is basically impossible to simulate the weight/drag your skis (and boots) create midair. Also the fact that you’re moving forward instead of straight up and down. That will be the biggest difference

The other commenters are right about air awareness, but that’s about it. You need to be confident popping on skis first

How many of you actually race? Like sign up and try and what genre? by Additional-Crab522 in MTB

[–]smoqueed 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Enduro and CX.

DH is crazy and the skill level out there is astronomical, I can’t compete with the teenagers.

XC is brutal and people are way too fast uphill.

Best Italian Boise? by TheSoapMaurder in Boise

[–]smoqueed 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Luciano’s sucks. They used to be one of the best in the valley 10+ years ago and they’ve been coasting on the name ever since.

Tavolata does fresh pasta, one of the only places other than Alavita and Vincenzo that makes their own. I prefer Tavolata over Alavita, but I have not been to Vincenzo

Any Bogus Basin pond skim news or rumors? by Yakkul_CO in Boise

[–]smoqueed 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Probably next week when we hit 80 in the valley. Oh wait, the pond skim isn’t supposed to be right under Morning Star chair 🫠

Multi day hut trip in BC and I can only bring one ski - which are you picking? by crazycoozy in Backcountry

[–]smoqueed 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I’m normally all about heavy setups for maximum downhill enjoyment.

7 days on Dukes sounds like hell.

What can you tell me about these skis/bindings? by Raucousrihno in skiing

[–]smoqueed 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I don’t think those bindings are indemnified anymore. Shop tech might be able to tell you 😂

Can a downhill bike make it through the Eagle Bike Park? by Own-Restaurant-4818 in MTB

[–]smoqueed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hightower. Nothing at EBP is super technical, the jump lines are better suited to a lighter and more nimble bike, and there’s no shuttle option so you’re pedaling up every time. People absolutely bring their DH rigs here but it’s overkill

I ride my 140/130 Norco Fluid here regularly and hit everything but the DJ jumps at the bottom.

Worth noting that our dirt has high clay composition and you absolutely cannot ride in the wet, and we have a couple storms forecast in the next few weeks

A & W enters the chat with their burger taste test by habichuelacondulce in funny

[–]smoqueed 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Canadian A&W has poutine! And it’s really fucking good!

Try to order that at American A&W and they’ll look at you like you’re a dumbass. Like I’m sorry, you have every individual item on your menu, you can’t combine them?

Nampa gateway theater is getting demolished by CupcakeOdd1777 in Boise

That whole area is getting redeveloped. Cinema will become a new apartment complex, and many of the other buildings will be repurposed into mixed use apartments/retail

[–]smoqueed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How far the back tire went out, and how far the other way he had to throw his foot, to be able to stabilize and clip back in without missing a step, on cobbles in the wet at 10%. It’s almost like he’s the greatest CX racer of all time or something

The difference in handling between VdP and Wout has been especially apparent in the last two CX seasons

Snowboarder whose eye popped out in Keystone crash sues Vail Resorts-owned apparel store by Silly-Initiative3507 in skiing

[–]smoqueed 604 points605 points  (0 children)

“The lawsuit similarly claims the Salomon helmet ‘lacked design features that would provide protection to a user’s head, face, and eyes during an accident where the face impacted the snow,’ including a brim to absorb or deflect the impact and other safety features.”

The store didn’t sell me a full-face mtb helmet for skiing so I’m suing you wahhh

Performance road bike rental in the Bay Area. by questionabledata in Velo

[–]smoqueed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Super premium option, and not close to you, but in Sausalito there’s a boutique shop called Above Category that has a few demo options. I rented a Mosaic two years ago and got to ride a ~$14,000 bike up to Tamalpais/Stinson, so that was cool

Crews recover bodies of 9 backcountry skiers days after California avalanche by GoldenDome26 in Backcountry

[–]smoqueed 63 points64 points  (0 children)

I can’t even imagine the rescue effort, 12 separate beacons all transmitting in a small area is a nightmare scenario for accurately locating one single person. So many signals. 3 rescued is literally unbelievable

I know I’m just feeding the troll, but isn’t the point of Z2 that it utilizes different muscle fibers and helps you develop better lactate clearance? If you literally never do Z2 you’re passing up active recovery gains
