snowboard talk/BS

Bogus Basin. They got a $100,000 donation to completely redo the park. It went from a little sectioned off are to to an entire top to bottom run on the mountain.



Ya boxes are awesome to dial in tricks on, that is kind of the problem i was talking about, not very many ride on and easy boxes, so beginners and average people looking to learn new tricks only have a few choices to practice on.

Im working on learning FS BS on the pipes and easy street style rails and 180s in and out.

 

I rode park city, canyons, Brighton, and solitude this week. Really bummed to be sitting at the airport now to go back to jersey...

 

I would argue that you can 50-50 any rail its just a matter of locking on

 

anybody watch snowboard slopestyle finals today? I thought mark mcmorris killedddd it. I didnt see his last run but that first one was clean. I saw he got a 98 on his final so that must have been an awesome run. Parrot and Smits had clean runs too. It was great watching everyones first two runs.

Its crazy thinking that im older than some of those guys now haha. I remember back when I was younger being like that is so awesome they are so young and sooo sick now im like shit i suck hahaha

 

Im in the market for goggles anybody have any recommendations... I was looking at the Oakley Canopy frame, also what lenses would be best for night skiing and day skiing. I assume clear for night so many lenses not sure what for daytime Thanks in advance

 

I have the electric eg2 frames I like amber chrome for sunny days, and yellow for overcast

 

Ive also got electric eg2 i love the big frame, doesnt restrict my vision at all. At night I use a clear lens and during the day i use the stock bronze lens. The bronze isnt bad at night either. I guess it depends on how well lit the trails are.

 

I guess Im gonna have to find a ski shop nearby to try the two frames on, see which one I like more

 

I ended up getting the 2012 Lib Tech Skate Banana. Thanks for the suggestions everyone, I love the way the board feels. It's so much more forgiving on landings than my Burton Canyon was.

 

Pretty sure I just became the happiest girl right now.
Finally found something about snowboarding

Here is the forecast for my hill for friday night...


"Snow with areas of blowing snow. The snow could be heavy at times. Low around 19. Windy, with a south southeast wind 10 to 20 mph becoming west 20 to 30 mph after midnight. Winds could gust as high as 39 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 10 to 16 inches possible."

god im hoping the weatherman is right!

 

ive got some 2 year old BD Push Tele boots for sale if anyone is wanting to get into telemarking. they are great boots for a beginner. PM me if interested.

 

I have been snowboarding probably 15 times or so total, yet I still can't really "carve" or ride toeside comfortably. A buddy of mine just told me he took an hour lesson recently and it was extremely helpful. I am wondering what are your thoughts on a lesson/instructor. Maybe just for a few hours. Would it help? Thanks

 

Took a lesson my first time about 18 years ago and still remember the fundamentals. I say go for it. It won't hurt.

 

Besides lessons can help you break bad habits, otherwise you keep reinforcing them.
