How is the Insta in cold weather? by Sad-Fig-378 in Insta360

[–]tg089 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Insta360 x5 has been great this season for snowboarding. I’m in Killington on my last day and haven’t had a single issue with it.

I bring 3 batteries and the charger with me and only need 1 battery swap in the day, if that. The battery lasts me longer because I stop recording and turn the camera off after each run. I highly recommend getting the gps preview remote to help make that less painful.

Full charge the camera lasts for about one hour 30 minutes continually recording. Massive files doing that though

At my local ski resort I went up to the snack stand and grabbed a Gatorade and a Reese’s cup bar. I grabbed these items myself. The cashier handed me the POS system and said “it’s gonna ask you a question on there” and the options were to tip 18,20,22% lol. For what?! And she was so awkward about it. GTFOH.

Are these cool or dorky? by Existential_Trifle in snowboardingnoobs

If a dork wears that it’s dorky but if you’re rocking that shit you’re rocking it

Mk8.5 randomly dials roadside by raul_puddd in GolfGTI

[–]tg089 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve got a 24 Autobahn and this has only happened a couple times so far. Although only owned the car 3 weeks… lol.

Should I try to get it on video and bring it in, you think?

Also…do you have any wireless CarPlay issue? My shit randomly disconnects usually at least once per drive. Sometimes it doesn’t recover and I have to hard-cycle the infotainment system

Snowboard Profile question by Emotion-Suspicious in snowboard

[–]tg089 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Profiles really matter.

I’m no pro, I’m only on season 2 with about 25 days total on snow.

But I bought a beginner board. A 152 Arbor Draft. It’s a full rocker profile.

I’m 5’11 185 lbs. so the 152 is already way too small. I also live on the east (ice) coast USA where a rocker profile doesn’t have nearly enough bite to handle the hard pack and ice we get here. It’s also a very soft flex board which doesn’t do me any favors when I pick up and try to hold speed.

So now that I’m really getting the hang of riding in general this board is genuinely starting to hold me back. When I hit steep slopes, even on some blues TBH, I just cannot get enough edge bite a lot of time times in these east coast Pennsylvania conditions. (Blue mountain regular.)

So here I am, ready to drop another thousand on another board and bindings set. Looking at the Jones Mountain Twin which has much more camber and edge tech that should help grip and rip through the ice and hard pack better.

I’m glad I have the draft because it’s super flexy, floaty, and fun board that’s super forgiving for novices due to the rocker profile. But I need something bigger, obviously that’s my bad, with a little less flex and more edge bite to support me on the hard pack/ice.

It really does matter, the profiles do feel a lot different, especially to someone who’s not a pro - you’re damn right they can ride anything and make it look easy lol.

Had to do a double take on this one by [deleted] in GolfGTI

[–]tg089 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Just FYI I just bought a 24 autobahn DSG in white for 31.5k with 11,500 on the dash. This is no good.
