Another Wall Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Went to sno for the first time since last year (and it was montage then) so first time ever. Everyu single jump was nassstttyy. The long takeoffs floated you better then any i have been on. All the rails/boxes were real nice yesterday a little sticky though. Complete turnaround from last year. more then i could have expected. Kudos to sno's park crew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ski Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 wax , lol for racers and pipe jocks. Just so you know---because you don't right now--wax is important for all skis and boards, no matter what you do with them. Without wax, your base material dries and flakes off. If you don't give a shit about your gear, that's fine. But your statement is just plain dumb. Wax will also allow you to ride a flat board without suction---it allows water to pass under the base. Not taking two minutes to throw on a rub on at the very least, just once in a while, is just lazy. This isn't just opinion, btw, it's fact. So yell at the manufacturers and not me, if you disagree.

Hey, you're taking 2 minutes away from adjusting thier sag, or getting rid of goggle gape or claiming which hit they are going to get nastiest on.. I will never forget the ass chewing I got for waxing a set of skis one night for a kid with dried out bases that over shot a jump the next day, it was all my fault. (don't waste your breathe ski, 90% won't listen and the 10% who do wax will never admit it) Went to sno for the first time since last year (and it was montage then) so first time ever. Everyu single jump was nassstttyy. The long takeoffs floated you better then any i have been on. i hear you either love them or you hate them at sno... weird?

Then perhaps your should either stop buying piece of shit boards, or get the right size board for your size aside from that, i rode the pipe today for the first time and had some fun. I got worked a few times but it's nice to try something new out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sno Mountain Skier Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Ya the pipe was really fun today. It was my first time ever hitting a pipe, and by the end of my day i had a run down i was happy with. Riderossi, were me and you talking on the lift, and then numerous times in the pipe?

You know the wax prevents a lot of scratching right? I wax every 4-6 days of riding on my regular board and at least that on my park board. If you wax it you won't get those super fine scratches just the gouges, then you ptex that and its good to. Untill you snap the board it will ride much better and slide much smoother over rails. As for him getting a cheap/wrong size board - you break them in the park no matter what quality you buy, but I still wax the board. Its cheap and the differance between a waxed and unwaxed board is a bigger difference than the right and wrong snowboard. People spend ages talking about which board to get - but if you don't wax it you might have just bought a piece of crap anyway because thats what you are riding. The biggest difference in board feeling is how much fiberglass and size, so a biaxial versus triaxial board is a huge differance. The big difference between a cheap and expensive board is the base material - yet you see people riding expensive boards with no wax going slower than cheap boards with wax. The only thing holding people back from waxing is cost, if you have an iron its cheap but if you have to pay someone else to do it then it is expensive. And rub on wax doesn't do shit.

Schif Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 You would never believe the crazy look I got from my 2 roomates who supposedly snowboard. As of now I think they are pure gapers. Neither of them brought their gear to school!! I broke out the iron, scraper and wax and they looked at me like I was crazy. I honestly couldn't believe it when they asked me what I was doing. Then he dropped the bombshell "Sometimes I take it to a shop before the season and they do it for me. Besides, it comes waxed from the store." : I'll admit I was niave about the whole waxing thing back in the day, but never to the point where I didn't get it done at a shop at least 2 times a year. At this point I can't imagine life before I started waxing my own gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that was me. I was thought that may have been you but i didn't want to look like an ass if it wasn't I only got 1 run that i was satisfied with but i was getting the feel for it. I took off once the sun went down because i didn't need to be busting my ass on that thing once it hardened up. I landed on the deck a couple times but thankfully nothing major , i'll be spending some more time there tomorrow afternoon/night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish i could go up tommorow but i got work. Definetly friday. The first hit i wasn't popping out enough but i've got that down now. I don't know if you saw the one where i did a messed up rotation and landed on my ribs then front flipped down the wall onto my back but it was actually pretty fun . I also caught up my nose on the deck and dropped to the flat on my back but it was the soft side so no problem there. It seems like skiers have an easier time making it out on the hard pack side than the boarders do..i can't come close to getting out on that side.

poop Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 How could you buy boards for the last four years if you are only two years old? oh shit people we have an acclaimed comedian on the board. oh wait nah its just some guy in his mid 30's trying to be a smartass. and i dont buy cheap boards, and only boards with sintered bases.

method9455 Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 b/c i buy the previous seasons shit and save a ton. Good work, it doesn't do shit if you don't wax it. An extruded base with wax is faster than a sintered without. You could have the fastest base material in the world, if there is no wax on it it will be slower than the cheapest. Sintered base is more durable - but put a layer of wax over anything and it will be more durable because the wax gets scraped off before the ptex does. Sintered base is more repairable - but if you don't even bother waxing you definately don't bother with a stone grind and ptex and all that. So why are you wasting your money on sintered bases even if they are no last years models? If you saved $50 by buying 1 cheaper board you would have covered everything you need to wax it. So basically to me you just look dumb. Its certainly your choice but I have no respect for your opinion on gear if you don't even bother to wax your shit.

xNick11 Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Guys I would just stop arguing with Poop. Hes just a park rat who can care less about his snowboard(even tho most park rats will actually wax and p-tex this shit before every major competiton).Poop just doesn't care,hes probably a little kid who doesn't know anything and lets his parents buy him his snowboards every year so he can really care less about the stuff he buys.

Saurus Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 i honestly dont have a clue what person can break boards like you. You must suck on jumps, im guessing you go off a jump and put your tail down and dont land flat. And you must have to do all street rails or just park rails to screw your board up so bad you cant repair it. Or your a person that has a few scratches on your board but thinks they need a new one. And im just wondering, what boards do you have and did you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
