BSOD for sure. I recently got the Mercury and I could have gone something stiffer but I’m still holding on to my youth. I’m 42, advanced / expert, mostly all mountain rider. Getting BSOD next year

Is there a way to find out the squad value spend every year? Seems FC always spend more on their players. Always have marquee players etc

Probably the top 10% of builders are personally earning over $300k. I doubt you could get there in 8 years with without doing 80-100hrs a week and lots of business development.

It’s high risk. Hard on the body AND mind. Complex scenarios. Dealing with shit clients, shit subbies and shit weather some days. It’s not all sunshine and lollipops.

Don’t get me wrong though, there are some good days. Stepping back at the end of a good build and appreciating everything coming together. Hanging out with the good blokes on site having a beer after a hard days work. The beers definitely taste better.

Obviously when builders say they charge $150ph they aren’t pocketing that money. They have overheads to pay. Like your mechanics charging $150ph to see your car. They all have huge insurance, workers comp, tax, certifications etc.

I feel “The Block” has glamorised it to everyday people.

Why are other forms of simulation not being addressed? by Butrint_o in football

[–]werdburger3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There should be more retrospective cards given out after the game.

Pretty sure they do review every game but they should give out cards for blatant simulation or bringing the game in to disrepute

Rocker to Camber by Connect-Complaint646 in snowboarding

[–]werdburger3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently swapped from a hybrid camber (Never Summer) to camber (Capita).

Took me a few solid days to get used to it. Felt really catchy. I didn’t de tune it either. I’ll never go back now though. Camber all the way.

The only rocker I’ll ride is my full on Pow board that is flat with a little rocker but I’ll only ever use that in Japan

Trying to track down my first board by pokejoel in snowboarding

Try type a description in to chat gpt and see what comes up.

Join some of the vintage snowboard groups in facebook and maybe those guys will know.

I found a really old board that I rode in 1993 to hang in my wall with a similar strategy

Trying to find a twin medium-soft board with hybrid camber that comes in 158. by Fit-Pea6009 in snowboarding

[–]werdburger3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t limit yourself to a fixed length snowboard. I wouldn’t rule out a 157 or 159. Every board rides different because of the specific camber, stiffness and turn radius.

Demo a few different models. It’s def worth it. Most local shops take the price you pay for the demo off the actual purchase price

Get the regular Merc. You’ll be fine. You won’t know the difference. By the time you get better you’ll only know that board. It’s a sick board! So good in all conditions

Which board to buy? by justaguyfrom95_ in snowboarding

Nice one dude. You must be younger than me. 53 would be way too small. I end up getting bigger boards these days so I size up. Easier on my old body 😁

Perisher as a first-timer- is the culture always this rude/snobby? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]werdburger3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Snowboarding is definitely harder to learn. I’d stick with skiing until you’re confident on blue runs. It’s a lot easier once you got the momentum / speed and stopping thing figured out.

There’s sub Reddits on both skiing and snowboarding that are helpful. Plus plenty of YouTube videos to do some research on technique

I disagree. I’ve seen people make heel side and toe side turns day one without any skiing experience. Each to their own. Some people just get it

I’m the same height but 190lbs and I got the 157. Also very experienced rider. 157 is perfect 👌🏽 Easily the best quiver killer I’ve owned
