GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 Fruit booters are to skiers like dual boards are to snowboarders See below to complete this thread Hey at little hills like Jack Frost and big boulder that would be alot of fun. Once Floyd's is open that mountain is legit. My dick is hard just thinking about Floyd's..no homo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justo8484 Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 This thread touches on a lot of points. Time for a brain dump. Anybody can go fast. Obviously I can ski fast, I'm the best skier on the mountain. I totally get that riding fast is exciting, and it's definitely an adrenaline rush when you can cleanly rip a difficult line fast and feel comfortable and in control while looking like a badass. Case in point, Cody Townsend in AK. I don't really understand the tripod maneuver, it seems like you're using your hands as a crutch. I've seen people do it before, but from a completely novice snowboarder's aesthetic perspective, it looks goofy. If it helps build core skills, then cool, I get it I guess, but it seems like just trying to figure out how to actually butter and press would be more beneficial. Ultimately what it comes down to is, do whatever allows you to have the most fun on snow. Isn't that why we all do this crap? Some people get off on skiing fast and getting in as many runs as possible. Some people take things slower and focus on technique and skill building. Some people think ice is nice, some people prefer soft spring conditions. If you really want to become a better rider though, you've gotta embrace it all to become well rounded.

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 Just like people can say skiing fast is stupid I'm entitled to saying tripod buttering is dumb. I'm not hating just my observation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the first part, The trick is not so much about the hands as it is to be able to get the board on either tail or nose to be able to touch the snow as you are riding, this takes an extreme level of balance and control to do in motion. this is not just a standing still butter to a tripod, this is riding, as you are riding, get the nose /tail press going while in motion and keeping the snowboard straight enough to be able to then get back up on it while still moving . it is the starting point for a lot of ground tricks and a core technique developer To the second part. Amen, The more techniques you can master, the better rider you will be. Able to adapt to the many different terrain options on the mountain. There are alot of people out thier enjoying themselves each in their own way, and by being confident in your abilities, and in control. you are safer, and the other riders are also safer as you won't go careened uncontrollably into them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing minus the crutch, no? Not knocking it, I do all sorts of dumb crap on my skis that's similar to this. I'm just genuinely curious.

It isn't so much a crutch as its just different a different trick. Getting into and out of them are similar but tripods are all about extending your legs and getting onto the tip of the board while nose presses are about finding and holding your balance against the flex of the board. Personally I like nose presses better but both are a lot fun....especially at speed in powder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow just wow... SMH... Rack it It's all good. I was just educating the speedsters on two snowboards, that there is more depth to sliding on snow pointing down the fall line as long as you can . anyone can do that. It takes more skill to be able to truly control the stick they are riding ;( 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Wow that is pure gold plain and simple anyway you slice it or dice it. Shit back in the 80s there was always that pesky paperboy going after you for $2. But I was a paperboy in the 90s so with inflation I was going after about tree fiddy. Back then all you needed were some fancy looking swim goggles and a sweater with evergreen trees and you were ready to tackle the mountain. Fueled on a Fluffernutter sangwich, some Funyans and some YooHoo, you were ready to try out for the schools ski team even though some dude named Chadwick was in charge of your fate based on his timing skills. Sure the neighbor had a hot foreign exchange student..no big deal and there were often Asian people at red lights taunting you over a portable Loudspeaker but seriously guys and gals..the 80s were a pretty fun time..I'd sum it up with one word....BASIC..
