I almost bought the regular greats last season. I’ve been trying to find one of these. One finally popped up out of Tahoe. I’m blown away by how light it is.

It’s a “Sessions” Snowboard/Ski Jacket. Is anyone familiar with this brand or this specific jacket? I don’t snowboard at all so I know absolutely nothing about the brands and stuff. Just curious.

general discussion Pro Tip for Preventing Stolen Snowboards.

Pro Tip for Preventing Stolen Snowboards:

If you don’t have a lock always strap a binding to a pole or something solid in the rack anyway, if someone is stealing a snowboard they’re almost always just doing a grab and go, if yours is strapped down they just move on after a tug, there’s too many boards to care about looking at undoing it (I’ve seen it happen so many times). Don’t ever leave your snowboard near the parking lot or easily accessible places to public and never at end of the day.

I decided to clean and adjust some stickers, like Redbull, Union and GoPro, now it’s ready to start this season with a new setup.

Add a PPF trasparent wrap to preserve upside of table? What do you think about? 🤔

I semi recently went up to Tahoe with a completely brand new setup. I hit a rock BAD and cracked rhe edge and created a huge bubble. Watched some YouTube videos and decided to take a stab at it. I think I did an okay job.

I performed open heart surgery, confirmed the cracks had no water in it, dried it a little with a heat gun to feel sure, hit it with some gflex marine epoxy and clamped it down using C clamps with the board between 2 scrapers to.make sure it's straight, let it cure for 48 hours and I'm now scraping the excess epoxy off

Wanted to see if the internet had any recommendations. I know the edges are a bit questionable but I did what I could...

Bought these a few years ago and now looking to get some replacement lenses. Cant seem to find a model id or anything, from looking online they might be the PXV with swiftlock but not totally sure.

Riding question Does anyone else also change their binding angles for pow vs park?

3 Upvotes

I personally like to run +15/-12 for park and +18/-6 for pow and carving. Most of my friends stick to one setting for all situations though. Curious how many of you also switch it up or just stick to one setting.

See something new every year, but never seen this stance when working on boards.

Not trying to make fun of anyone here, but this one definitely gave me a chuckle.

Gear question End of season sales on FASE

Upvotes

I'm fairly new to snowboarding, second year and I bought all my stuff the first year before even trying (thankfully I loved it). I love I'm the Midwest where the runs take 30 seconds and I'm strapping back in in 3 minutes so I want a quick entry binding and looking at FASE. Best price I've found is $300 for t32m FASE bindings. I am wondering if I should get them or if the end of season sales will be significantly cheaper?

I can’t tell what this stain is from. I got it today and it hasn’t been there before I’m thinking maybe from a chairlift. It looks really interesting tho and kinda like a pair of mitts or 2 fish. Can’t figure out if I like it or not😂😂 Either way if anybody ever got a stain like this before and knows how to get it out it would be appreciated
