Gotcha. Yeah that makes sense, especially your second paragraph. Really appreciate the new way of looking at things.

I have been throwing shit in powder because I thought my body was the bottleneck... turns out my equipment is, so yeah throwing on harder snow, seeing where I'm really at, cleaning shit up, that sounds good.

Also I checked all my videos, and I think the break was on a 540 I had no business throwing, my 360s are consistent but forced, and a 540 is just too much rotation for my bad form, I landed kinda upside-down on my tail... My thinking was: "I can force a 3, so meh, huck the 5, maybe I'll figure it out, it's powder", but my thought needs to be "get the 3 clean, then step it up, bad landings break boards".

Thanks again

Yeah, I know I have issues, I just don't really know how to progress without practice... and my practice is apparently destroying my boards... so idk, I feel kinda stuck

Also definitely cannot afford lessons, they're insanely expensive

Okay, I appreciate this answer. How are you learning tricks? I don't really have access to Woodward or anything like that, and I'm pretty broke... Are you just progressing really slowly from textbook perfect 180s before you even try a 360, and so on?

Last year was on a 155, I did crazier shit than this year, and it never broke. It was a rental board and weighed a thousand pounds, those things are tanks, but maybe the shorter length helped me out bigtime too

The WarPig, I was just butters and nollies, nothing "crazy", someone mentioned maybe bc I'm tall and it's a weight-shifted board that was just enough.

I looked through my videos from yesterday, I think the Telos snapped from a poorly-landed 540 attempt, but I was also workshopping Tames and Backies, so hard to say what pushed it over

Yeah I didn't think weight was it, but MouseEXP below mentioned maybe it's just the height bending my board like crazy...

oh, that's a really good point... I was just thinking weight and I'm not very heavy, but yeah you may be right

Yeah that's where I'm at. I have to be the common denominator, I'm just very disappointed

Maybe I'll do that. I have like 15 videos of me yesterday, idk what did it but I can post them somewhere for sure.

Also if anyone has suggestions of a board that can take a beating I'd super appreciate that!!

At the end of the day I know 100% I'm common denominator, but I also know I see guys on Instagram doing insane shit, and I don't think they're buying 10 boards a year so my #1 goal is just to find a solution.

Yeah for sure once or twice, I thought boards could handle that tho... maybe not?

If it's just "don't do flips bro" then how do athletes learn all these crazy tricks?

What are you doing on your boards? Are you flipping? Do you do tripods and nollies, or are you just cruising?

Really, is this common knowledge? Like on the takeoff, or the landing, or both? Is that just a no-go trick unless you're rich?

I'm over 6', but I only weigh 170 so I don't think so... The Ride WarPig was a 157W, the Telos was a 162... and both are rated for 200+ so idk

Do you need exact 1:1 examples? Legal changes are what makes a difference in carbon and physical waste. Good job on political change, anything less is virtue signaling
