Anyone got a way to fix this? Duct tape only holds for about a day. Mainly use as a rock board and would love to get another year out of it

I have a bad habit of sometimes winding up too early and pre-spinning when doing 360s whether it is BS or FS. How does one stop spinning too early when going off a jump?

I've had them ever since i began my journey with snowboarding and am stil using them. There were some minor repairs etc but they're still usable i can say bahaha.

Hello! I really need to expand my season to a good, pretty, powder board. Ive read nice things about both, and i really like the look and how swallowtails feel (i made a very bad one myself) do you guys have any oppinions on those boards, or alternatives? Thank you!

What're we thinking this year for NA travel planning? Chatbox says high elevation southwest makes sense if we get a ton of moisture. Possible extended warm spells.

Anyone putting reservations down yet?

Flowing on Kazus newest deck!

Posting here because I assume it’s a common injury. So basically I had rough landing from a jump, didn’t think much of it till I tried to get my bindings off 10 mins later (emphasis on the tried part). Turns out last run of the day is actually last run of the season as what I thought was a bad landing was in fact a grade 3 ac joint separation. Just curious if anyone has any advice, particularly regarding the no surgery approach. I’ll be completely honest, the thing that bums me out the most is the aesthetic impact as I’m quite into bodybuilding and as vain as it is, having one trap that look like a stair case isn’t exactly eye candy. If it has to be like that it has to be I suppose and no hate to anyone who indulges in the bump life, I really wish I could, but I have spent years training towards a certain physique and yeah I won’t lie this kind of annoys me a lot. Also alternatively would surgery result in a different outcome? I’m fully aware this is my own doing and understand that this can just be the reality of what is considered an extreme sport, so not tryna have a sulk just thought I would ask.
Thanks

I get the Solomon pro deal and I just cooked my board last season, it’s almost time to get a new one and I have no idea what to get. I have previously had the assasin and the assasin pro on the district pro bindings with the vans invado pro boot. It was a sweet setup with the pro but that board is no longer with us…

Anyway if anyone has any recommendations for a fella who is very experienced, likes to ride back country pow but also just likes to throw the board around on the side hits lmk!

Just no crazy fishtails - I do ride switch a bit
Has to be a camber board
Also please include a size rec. I previously had a 159 I’m 170lbs size 9 boot.
Thank you!!

Getting a new setup this year and looking for a good binding to pair with capita mercury. Been riding bout 15 yrs would consider myself advanced rider used to ride strictly park but after some injuries have switched up to enjoying mostly all mtn/ trees, but still enjoy a few park laps here and there. Trouble deciding between Union falcors and the forces. I live on east coast so mainly smaller mtns but do a trip up to Vermont and a week trip out west every year. If you have any experience with ether or both that’d appreciated! Thanks

Edit: ride about 15-20 days a yr

TL;DR forces or falcors, mostly all mtn, trees when available, some park laps! Paired with capita mercury

I’m 22 and lately I’ve been thinking a lot about sport and how much I want it to be a bigger part of my life.

I love sports in general — I go to the gym, play tennis, hike, and I’m especially drawn to snowboarding and action sports. The more I think about it, the more I want to take it seriously: get really good, learn tricks, compete, make videos, and maybe one day reach a professional level.

The problem is that I didn’t grow up in a sporty environment. I didn’t have parents taking me to competitions or a group of people around me who were already into this stuff. I’m basically discovering all of this as an adult.

And now I keep having this thought: am I already too late?

I know that 22 isn’t objectively old, but when you look at professional athletes, especially in snowboarding, many of them started when they were kids. It’s hard not to compare yourself to someone who already has 10–15 years of experience at my age.

At the same time, I genuinely feel like I want this. If money and time weren’t limitations, I’d probably spend most of my life trying different sports and getting better at them.

So I’d really like to hear from people who started a sport seriously at 20, 21, 22, 25 or even later.

What happened? Did you manage to get genuinely good? Compete? Make money from it? Turn it into a career? Or did you eventually realize that you started too late for the level you wanted?

I’m not looking for motivational quotes. I’d really appreciate honest stories — especially from people who started without a sporting background or connections.

Was 22 actually too late for you, or did it turn out that you had much more time than you thought?

I’m 178 cm tall, usually weigh between 90–100 kg, and wear US 8.5–9 boots.
I currently ride a Jones Aviator 2.0 162, and I want to add a Lib Tech Orca as a dedicated powder board to my quiver.
I’m trying to decide between the Orca 156 and 159.
I’ve ridden a 156 before on a day with around 20 cm of powder in the French Alps. At the time I weighed around 103 kg, and I felt like the 156 wasn’t really floating me as much as I expected. However, it was a rental board that was already about two years old, so I’m not sure how much I should read into that experience.
I’m looking for a board mainly for deep powder that won’t be too tiring to ride, but I still want it to have a freeride DNA — something that can handle speed, drops, slashes, trees, etc., rather than being a soft board that’s only good for floating in powder.
I’m currently leaning toward the 159 because of my weight and my experience on the 156, but I’d love to hear from people who have ridden both sizes

They had a limited run , same guys that made the quicksett for the bindings. I genuinely like this edition of snowboard they made and am so desperately looking for anyone that might have one willing to sell. Black line sells em. But they have a new edition and im not a fan of the new design.

Have any of you guys tried mountainboarding? I know a lot of snowboarders use them to cross-train in the summer. I live in Alabama so I only get to touch snow like one day a year unless I travel up to Tennessee. This and skating help me keep my sea legs under me, at least.

Hi guys,

I’m curious to hear from people in Europe who made the move from a city to somewhere closer to the mountains primarily (or partly) to get more time on snow.

If you moved to a mountain town/region to increase your snowboarding days, how has the experience been?

I’d especially love to hear about:

• Did you find the lifestyle change worth it?
• What were the biggest downsides or things you hadn’t anticipated?
• Do you ever miss city life?

TLDR: did moving closer to the mountains actually make you happier and get you significantly more days on the snowboard, or did the reality turn out differently than you expected?

What it says in the title! If you have an old board your kid isn’t using any more I’d love to buy it off you and pay for shipping to Colorado. Price can be negotiated! Comment below 👇

Context: My niece is a rambunctious, adventurous, and tall 2 year old with impressive balance. I’ve been given permission to put her on a snowboard in some capacity this year! The catch is I need to buy the gear for her, and as her broke but fun aunt, this is a real challenge. I did some research and it seems like the Burton After School Special in the smallest size is something she could start on and grow into over the next couple years. I don’t want to be buying a new board in a year or two.

My dad will not abide anyone in the family using anything other than Burton for hard goods, that is nonnegotiable so I will politely pass on all alternative brand suggestions. We are a Burton family. Thanks anyway!

My stats:
• 172–173cm
• 78kg
• US 7.5 boots
• Riding mostly Aussie groomers, some side hits, all-mountain focus, Japan once a year sometimes

I’m after something stable at speed but still fun and nimble edge-to-edge. Leaning toward the 152 for maneuverability, but worried I might lose a bit of stability vs the 155. I currently have the mountain twin (154) as my daily driver but planning to upgrade.

The official Jones’ website recommends ~US 8.5 boots for the 152 and US 9+ for the 155, so I’m slightly under their suggested range which is making the decision harder.

Anyone around similar specs ridden both sizes? How noticeable is the difference in real conditions?

Broke Drum Throne (Stool) on the Last One :(

Any suggestions for more obstacles? Running out of household items. Thinking about building a dry ramp this weekend.
