snowboard talk/BS

Teton Pass in Wy rode pretty good today, a foot of fresh, and expecting 2 more feet by monday. Unfortunately rain down below 8500ft and Jackson is wet with rain. At least its only Dec 1!

 

Behind the scenes?? If saw just got done watching it today, only took like 3 days

 

Haha I watched it all today. Good stuff. Stoked to go ride

 

got my board waxed and edged. went to pick it up and it was not done yet. so i just waited. i ended up getting half off for waiting on it. only had to wait like 15 min or so.

 

Rode Crystal Mountain for the past 3 days in a row . . . my legs are smoked but each day just got better and better. 15-20" pockets of blower in the side-country with no one on the mountain yesterday!

 

Why pay someone to do something so easy? Do you pay people to wax your truck and check the tire pressure?

 

i don’t have stuff to do it.

 

Can't do anything on our own without a writeup. I did a search and didn't find anything. I think I need to start a new thread asking about it.

^^ jokes, though if you can point us to something that we can follow and has good tips that would be cool.

 

Do a google search and look at some of the youtube videos, that will get you far.

 

I use this kit- http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001KNGLCC

But I used to use an old clothes iron I got at good will for $1

This video should help.. But yea google will teach you anything.

I just called my local Sport Chalet to find out how much for snowboard wax and edge. They asked w/ or w/out "P tec". WTF is p tec?

 

This http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6evt3_tune-up-p-tex-snowboard-trailer_sport Should help

 

Awesome, thanks. I usually don't have a board long enough for it to be tuned up. But this one has done me well for the past 2 seasons.

 

ive got the smaller dakine kit, pretty much the same thing without the iron, i just use an old iron my mom gave me and it works fine

 

I know how to do it. I just don't have the stuff to do it. I do it like every day times or so. I may or not have to do it agin this season. Just depends on how much I go. It will take a couple years for me to pay off on one of the good kits.

It last a long time I don't hit rails or boxes or anything yet.

 

i think i paid like 30 bucks for my kit and im sure it wouldnt be hard to find an old iron or get a cheap one from walmart. Idk how much it is to get it done at your shop but you could probably get the kit and an iron for like 2 or 3 tunes and you have the option to tune whenever/ as much as you want. You might start noticing that you want to wax it every few rides. plus you have the ability to try out different types of waxes and see what works best for you your board and conditions.

im not saying thats the best way but it gives you more options

 

yeah thats not bad. it’s like $15 for wax and edge.(and the other day it was $8, since i had to wait for it to be done, witch i did not care about all i had to do was go get 2 christmas gifts and my board all day)


yeah idk anything about waxes or anything.

 

oh thats not too bad, i just like having my board freshly waxed haha i like waxed it whenever i was bored haha

 

yeah it’s not much at all really too just have it done. i may try and get the stuff. i could all ways charge friends a little bit and do their boards.
