Schif Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 I completely understand that skis are the better way to get around but a snowboard is unequivocally more fun when going downhill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re also a real good snowboarder and mediocre skier which probably plays into it. The same can be said for mixiliplix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a kid I skate boarded and rollerbladed. I’d like to get on a longboard this summer. Back when I lived in Montana I cruised around on my roommates longboard a lot and really enjoyed it. For turns I was super good and precise on toe side turns and heel side turns were tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post toast21602 Posted February 23, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 Okay, cool debate about boards and skis... but lets talk about the superior Big Foot option. Small and versatile. Lightweight. Can walk across parking lots easier than in skis or a board. Ergonomic and anatomically correct shape with wide forefoot for added stability. Easily adjustable bindings. Go great downhill, can walk flats, and hike up without taking them off. Can fit in carry-on for ski trips. Rad fluorescent colors. 6 1 1 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Law Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 One isn't better than the other they are different tools. It's like knives you can peel an apple with a butchers knife but it's dumb and stupid. Your just making certain things easier or harder. Skis up and across a mtn are easier as is pow or spins on a board. Shitty skiers will still be slower on traverses than a good boarder and the reverse. The key factor is the craftsman not the tool 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those bindings are not easy to adjust at all. You have to remove the decking screws used to attach the bindings to the foot, move the bails, then hope you get them back in the old holes correctly so they don't strip out. Requires at least two beers before such a complicated procedure can be attempted in the parking lot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started boarding early 30’s because my son thought it would be fun if we both learned how together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was awesome, however while I was practicing on the beginner hill I had a raccoon run at me then pass directly in front of me just as I was getting up from a fall. It then ran towards a mom and her daughter who i yelled to and I think the mother hit it with her pole and it took off under the lift loading area. My wife was already back at the lodge outside having a drink. When I texted her to tell her about it she told me I was full of shit.....then the raccoon showed up there, drank a left over drink and ran inside. It was pretty wild. Did anyone else encounter rocky raccoon? I’m just in shock it wasn’t a troll post Edited February 24, 2022 by mute1080 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
