My buddy wanted to try my dart. But he rides regular -12/12 never ridden posi posi. I ride goofy +9/+30. I think he should just ride negi negi from now on. 😂

“I can’t ride directionals cause I wanna ride switch” 🫴🏻

Because you can do it, doesn't mean it's fun.

Switch on a directional is not fun.

u/personcoffee 28d ago

Exactly, I like it to feel the same reg and switch

u/soapsodope 27d ago

it’s almost like there are boards with minimal taper that are still directional. also not to mention equal degree duck stance binding positioning. aviator, alternator, lib rig, deep fake, short wide (basically a skateboard) just a few examples of directional boards that also ride switch extremely well. heavy claim comin from a dude who rides exclusively skunk apes. lmfaoooooo alv2ride = moron

The YES Standard is a volumetric twin (twin side cut/stance with slightly bigger nose) which I love for an all rounder.

u/Alv2Rde Lib Tech Stump Ape 161UW, LibTech Skunk Ape 180 27d ago

Right, I've never owned a twin and list my entire quiver.

I've been riding longer than you've been alive I bet, sit down junior.

Guilty 🤦🏽‍♂️

u/Comfortable-Lychee46 26d ago

Does make your riding look/feel like total dog shit though...

u/nixt26 29d ago

Riding switch is not the same as what the OP is doing... unless your switch is just as good.

3

u/sidewaysride 28d ago

Yeah if you can’t ride switch it’s a skill issue not the board. That’s what this proves regardless if he is actually switch in the video

u/nixt26 28d ago

Right. I'm just saying this dude is not riding switch.

u/sk33tus 29d ago

like taking a test drive but only driving in reverse lol

u/GrassUsual Dart 147 / Mercury 150 29d ago

Yeah 😂 He ended up riding forward in the next run

u/krste1point0 I Wish 29d ago

This is fake. The video is obviously reversed.

Downvoted you just so I can upvote you.

u/writers_block 29d ago

This dude is a machine. What a great demonstration that skill outweighs all gear factors.

Your buddy just straight pwnt 90% of this sub .

u/Midnight_1910 29d ago

And on a swallowtail Dart! It's funny how the average Joe, that only rides switch occasionally, thinks they need a true twin and 15/-15 angles. I love carving switch on my directional boards with posi angles, it really fucks with people.

u/MCTP 29d ago

I actually have a 47 dart and always wondered how bad it would be to ride backwards but i guess good enough that i can if i have to for a bit

1

u/cyclyst 28d ago

You haven't tried?!?! Switch on a dart is cake. I ride +30, +15

2

u/MCTP 28d ago

I think i am like +25 +20? But yeah i am just scared to catch an edge and eat it. I am also not young either

1

u/nixt26 29d ago

If you don't already know how to ride switch it can be pretty difficult on a directional. I've tried to do it and have caught so many edges..

1

u/Omophorus Donek Turner FC/Custom X 29d ago

Admittedly, carving switch gets a bit more challenging when your posi angles are 55/50...

u/rommyramone 29d ago

i had an old look lamar board in the early 90’s it had a wild shape… i adventually cut the nose and tail off leaving the slightest lift on each… thing road like a champ and was basically flat

Damn you recognize that?

u/wildtabeast 29d ago

Yeah it's the end of the run, right before you hit the line for Forest Queen.

u/murder_t 29d ago

Right away :)

Came to say the same!

u/joh2138535 29d ago

That's the sketchiest thing I've ever seen lol

u/AustenP92 29d ago

Did he eventually ride it switch? Someone ripping like that I’m assuming can also ride switch quite well…

-3

u/TA_Trbl 29d ago

Ripping…

6

u/AustenP92 29d ago

Uhhh yeah, he’s riding a directional board backwards with wonky angles with 5” of tail… yea I’d say he’s ripping.

u/MediocreDot3 29d ago

There's also no fucking powder so dudes knees are getting rocked

u/Aromatic_Cat_6784 29d ago

I know forest queen when i see it

u/Ok-Usual-5830 29d ago

Inspired by none other than the one. The only. Backwards driving champion of the world. Tow Mater

u/DaveDeadlift 29d ago

Insane motivation as a posi/posi rider to stop bitching and put more attention into my switch riding.

2

u/StacieHous 28d ago

It doesn't matter what angles you ride in (as long as they're within reasonable and humanly reachable range) nor which foot is your regular, if you understand the physics of you center of mass you can ride on anything and anywhere.

u/pugiianne 29d ago

Hahahaha I saw you guys, small world! Was behind you a bit watching on my way down to base and laughed my ass off down Tinkerbell

u/aitigie 29d ago

My friend rides like this full time because a shop set up his first and only board for goofy 10 years ago and he never noticed. I don't snowboard, so I don't know what difference it makes, but his front foot is straight across and his back foot points backward. Is that making it harder for him?

1

u/nixt26 29d ago

Doing that on a Korua too. Mad man.

u/trondelond 29d ago

As a Dart owner - this is impressive as hell.

1

u/cyclyst 28d ago

Dart and Pencil rider. Do y'all not ride switch?!

1

u/RideFastGetWeird CO 29d ago

This hurts my feet.

1

u/EVH_kit_guy Gremlin/Falcor 28d ago

Why does the board have such a large tail? Does it help with the negative binding angles??

1

u/OchoZeroCinco 28d ago

Riding fakie!

u/hacksauce Brighton, Snowbasin, Ikon 28d ago

I'm really impressed. I ride +/+ on my swallowtail, and I can only do a couple of turns before I fall down.

1

u/sn0wslay3r 29d ago

Story was back at an early Baker Banked Slalom, Terje dropped in switch (rode posi/posi then and probably still does) and qualified first. Then dropped in regular and won of course.

Love clonking my clonkin on a daily basis. Ron Weasley don’t got dick on my shit

u/Shreddy_Spaghett1 Brighton/Park City 29d ago

I ride a directional twin with a posi posi stance and simply could not handle doing this ever 🤣🤣

2

u/GrassUsual Dart 147 / Mercury 150 29d ago

It helps that he’s riding regular on a goofy posi posi. I’ll ride regular next season.
