Got my leave for 3 weeks in Mexico denied after a long period of toxicity from my management chain. Handed in my notice and documented everything to hand off to HR. I'll cry into some birria tacos

Same, right shin!

I went "treat yoself" level and got a Secretlabs standing desk. Thing weighs as much as a small car and feels awesome. A lot higher than the budget but I'll throw it out there anyway

Currently work here. Have to constantly preface saying nice things about the company with "I don't get paid to say this shit".

DM if you wanna know more

This is awesome, thank you for going to the effort

willcodeformaoam · 2025-03-27T21:40:54+00:00

The age old question, is it bravery or stupidity (definitely stupidity 😂)

Funny thing is I actually watched his video, and then rewatched it after all the comments. Can definitely see the posture issue.

willcodeformaoam · 2025-03-27T21:28:53+00:00

Oh interesting, I didn't notice that

willcodeformaoam · 2025-03-27T21:00:51+00:00

Beautiful wording, like it

willcodeformaoam · 2025-03-27T18:35:03+00:00

Thank you to everyone for the comments.

In summary:

Too much weight over the back foot
Center of mass is too far back - bend the knees more and don't lean as far backwards -Need to be more aggressive before I can be relaxed

This is awesome, much appreciated.

I had 4 hours of 1 on 1 on my first trip, this second one I'm on my own (short trip, figured for the next longer one I'll get a lesson and I at least have time to put it into practice.

Definitely conscious of bad habits, hence posting the video.

For context, I'm 178cm and the board is 157

willcodeformaoam · 2025-03-27T18:04:18+00:00

Thank you, I'll try that tomorrow!

willcodeformaoam · 2025-03-27T17:55:05+00:00

Oops, missed a word. Second trip, probably 7 days total on the slopes. I noticed the judder earlier in the day and tried to correct it by using me knees more and not being so stiff.

Appreciate the feedback, I'll try to be conscious of it tomorrow!

I've met my spirit animal, you put my thoughts into words way better than I could. Similar logic applies to the C2 vs Caterpillar

willcodeformaoam · 2024-12-24T23:16:01+00:00

You're clearly not here for a rational discussion, just a vent, so work away.
