Posted by: @spenser Haven’t been splitting, but finally got around to finishing this padding mod. Was going to shave the pads to look less rough-cut, but would have only been cosmetic. Used 3M 300LSE adhesive and it seems to be…   Read more»

Posted by: @powberrywowberry And I’m in love… Picked up this 166 Malolo NOS over summer. So much fun. The glide! Very fun carver as well. If it was just a touch wider it would be perfect. [attach]4961[/attach]   Such a…   Read more»

Interesting. I definitely find myself more drained after riding it. Today was the first day all season I broke 15k vert. Part of that is that driving the Orbit seems to require more energy. Part of it is the thing…   Read more»

@unsuspected rode the Orbit today with Drives. Hard in toes, soft in heels. Tits.  Snow conditions solid today. Bit of slush on top of a supportive crust, some corn snow turns off posted.  Gave me confidence to get a bit…   Read more»

Posted by: @benjinyc had a bunch of deep nicks, scratches, and a deep gouge this weekend on a pretty new board… decided to order a Ptex Iron, seemed like a better way to repair than trying to use a dripping…   Read more»

Posted by: @unsuspected @spenser @kimchi Which bushings are you guys runnin’ on the Drives for the Orbit? On my Drives I have hard bushings in the toes, and mediums in the heels. I’ve been running Jones Apollos on the Orbit…   Read more»

Got another day on my Orbit. Definitely a keeper but not sure it’s my daily driver. I was able to get better nose-to-tail leverage and pop with my K2 Aspect boots, but I have a bit of trouble with it…   Read more»

Posted by: @gd Don’t know if we’ll even have much of a season left around these parts, with all resorts closed still since Boxing Day. We’re going into our second State of Emergency due to skyrocketing COVID cases/deaths. Well-being of…   Read more»

Anyone have any official confirmation on Adidas? Heard a ton of conflicting rumors about them and wondering if we can finally just put it to rest.

I’m still tickled that we early viewer access to next year’s shit every January because one random Korean decides to share them all with us hahahahahaha.

Posted by: @pow_hnd Posted by: @kimchi I’ve heard Utah is in pretty bad shape. The worst start to winter in 50 years here in Utah. Resorts are just groomers and crazy crowded “feeling” because of lack of terrain open. I…   Read more»

Is anywhere in North America having a good season other than the PNW? California has been sub-par so far this year– enough coverage to have fun on groomers, and occasional gamble off-piste. Stuff is open, but definitely anything other than…   Read more»

Posted by: @velvethammer Posted by: @matty There isn’t a Nitro Squash quite big enough for what I like, but I wonder how many people would feel as good or better on that vs the XY.  Check out the Weston Backwoods…   Read more»

Posted by: @zuzupopo [attach]4873[/attach] KAZU Damn. Might finally pull the trigger on a Kazu next season. I liked this year’s wood veneer topsheet, but wasn’t a fan of the ninja base design… this one kind of puts everything together to…   Read more»

Posted by: @kimchi Whelp. I just picked up a 2019 D1 6+. Curious how this will go. Never updated this thread. Got to get my D1 6+ out a few times last year, and just took it out for the…   Read more»

Posted by: @vanni Posted by: @kimchi Was scanning Zuzupopo and found Salomon 21-22. The copywritten blurbs are in Japanese, but the important parts are in English. Bummed they didn’t do a Super 8 Pro. They made one with Evo this…   Read more»
