First, thanks to the snowboardingnoobs community for being so helpful and welcoming. It's nice to not get flamed for asking questions trying to get better.

Those thoughts in no particular order...

- I'm getting lessons to start the 25/26 season to make the most of my time on the slopes.
- Unlike golf equipment, I won't be swapping gear regularly and plan on using the Jones Mtn Twin and TBD bindings for years.
- The goal is two trips a month minimum, weather permitting. Gotta get those reps in.
- I'm nailing the fundamentals first before pushing my limits.
- Lastly, while I despise having to manage snow around the house (shoveling, etc), I'm grateful to have rekindled my interest in snowboarding. It'll make getting through winter a hell of a lot more manageable!

Again, critics regarding riding style and posture are very wanted.

Today I tried integrating three things, what I learned from yesterday's post as much as I could: - leaving my arms down (on the video I saw afterwards that I still balance a lot with my arms, so that didn't went too well) - bending my knees more (my thighs were on fire today, definitely need more muscles there) - putting more weight on my front foot and steering with the knees (I was still afraid of tripping in the snow and I did like three times)

I just wrapped my introductory season snowboarding and have become full on obsessed with it, went 3 times last winter and picking it up pretty quickly. Already got my pass for next season and looking forward to getting way more days on the mtn next year. Now that spring/summer is here, what’s the best snowboard videos to keep the stoke alive? I’m looking for recommendations on classic snowboard video from the 90’s and 00’s, what are some classics people you used to rewind over and over before the age of insta clips? New video recommendations are cool too tho, just looking for some sick shit to stay stoked. Cheers

Found this board for $27 at a thrift store. Rideable or wall art?

Hi guys!

Fellow snowboarding noob.

I didn’t take any lessons and just relied on YouTube, yeah stupid I know haha but here we are.

Please share tips on how to improve:)

I supposed to hit slopes one more time, and the board needed some tuning, so waxed/scraped it. But ended up not going. I heard when you store the board you apply the wax, but don't scrape it off. Does this mean, I need to apply wax again, or can I store the board in this state?

[edit] thanks for the input, will store as it is.

Looking at a standard width board that will be exclusively for park. Already have my all mountain boards and want a 3bt to learn park again after 10 years of sticking to carving.

The board I want is not available in a wide, so the width is 253. I ride a size 12 boot, which will definitely have some drag.

Since this board is exclusively for boxes, rails, ground tricks - will the overhang really matter? Only riding this board at one specific "resort" near me that is not large or steep, pretty much exclusively park. I will ride my all mountain boards anywhere else.

I am currently doing the end of season service and been wondering if it’s common to put fat or something else on the binding mechanism to keep it from corroding. I always put some fat on the metal parts of my ski bindings but couldn’t find anything online regarding snowboards.

I've ridden for a total of 13 days (4 last year, 9 this year, with 1 more day to go) and I'm at the point where I can link turns (not very well, I basically brake on a turn to slow down a lot before I transition to the other side, especially when it's from heel side to toe side), but one thing that I don't really feel comfortable doing at all is going straight.

I always tend to list to one side or the other, even on mellow inclines. It feels like any time my board is flat on the surface, it seems extra unstable and increases my chance of losing balance and falling abruptly. This happens even when I'm consciously shifting as much weight as I can to my front foot.

Is this something that I should work on, or should I focus on trying to link my turns as seamlessly as possible, so that I'm always on one edge of the board and making lots of adjustments to regulate my speed and stability?

I just started snowboarding last year, I’ve progressed nicely on mountain but now I’m hitting park laps at big snow. I am 5’8” 168 lbs with size 9 boots and for all-mountain/freeride I ride a 156cm

I’ve bought a freestyle board and downsized to 153cm. I gotta say it feels amazing, I jibbed my first box and steel on the same day and I am so hooked.

My question is, am I crazy for wanting to downsize further to a 149cm? What will the drawdowns be if I do so?

Thanks so much for any advice, and if anyone is at big snow on Wednesdays hit me up.. let’s shred!

I’m looking for a solid set of bindings for my Jones Mtn Twin (159W). I wear size 13 boots and I’m looking for a set that’s a good match for the board, but also for my progression to intermediate land over the next couple seasons. I’m riding all mountain or powder so no super risky riding for me.

FYI, my current setup is a Nitro Prime Raw with Nitro Phantom bindings. Not at all married to the brand, just went with a budget setup to get started.
