Oh man I know exactly what board that is.
It's one of those low cost Amazon sets

u/maretard · 8 pointsr/nonononoyes

Learn to retract your arms as you fall, like you're boxing, or crossed over like you're in a straightjacket. Eat the fall with your body, keep your arms protected.

You can do this really simply just by standing up on a board, stationary, and just falling over. Do it over and over again, and just keep your hands close to your chest and land on your body like you're flopping into bed.

Have someone push you over on your board while your eyes are closed so you can practice fighting the instinct to reach out and stop your fall.

Intentionally catch edges (going slowly, on a green or something) and just eat it over and over again.

Gear helps as well. The number 1 thing that caused me to fall on my wrists was the fear of pain, after I bruised my tailbone. I was just terrified of falling over, I would keep wrecking my wrists and elbows trying to keep my tailbone from hitting the ground.

I got a pair of these https://www.amazon.com/Azzpadz-D30/dp/B00PG44OLQ and now I can sit down hard on a steep blue without even flinching, and just hop right back up without even losing much momentum.

u/acoolazn · 5 pointsr/snowboarding

Yeah I do.

u/dacoobob · 4 pointsr/longboarding

something similar happened to me, sprained my wrists also. after that I got a set of wrist guards for my commute.

u/Anton338 · 3 pointsr/snowboarding

Thanks! I use the HangTime mount. It's pretty sturdy once you find the wall stud.

u/DreamArcher · 3 pointsr/hockeyplayers

I've broken my tailbone twice and now suffer from chronic pain. Just get the pants you want and then add a seperate tailbone protector. Something like this.

u/MrRabbit · 3 pointsr/running

They may have been a bit much... but my hands tend to get really cold!

If it was any warmer, even upper 30s, I would have worn these over my normal running gloves.

u/in5trum3ntal · 3 pointsr/snowboarding

I don't know about CA - but they are available on amazon. If I were you, I'd go to a "boot doctor", I've had some amazing results after talking with experts while having my gear and feet present. Its important to think about all the issues beforehand and be as forthcoming as possible. Go to a mt that may have a place on site, which will provide you with the ability to test out modifications and report back. Sometimes the guys don't even ask for money, just be nice and throw them a tip. I've had J's and heel lifts put in that have changed my days and riding experiences completely. They can even help you understand how your bindings and stance can help with similar issues.

Best of luck.

Demon Phantom Fully Padded Travel Snowboard Bag with Wheels https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NO4PFAE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_kZBwDb9GS79TP

I have this one and it fits my board and my wife’s with bindings on. But... my board is quite a bit longer so the offset/spacing of the bindings works with hers upside down. I don’t know if it would work with two similarly sized boards. And like others have said, it’s probably better and safer for your boards if you remove one of their bindings.

u/chop924 · 2 pointsr/snowboarding

FWIW I have small feet/heel hold problems as well. The K2 Maysis boot was good to me, but everyone's foot is different.

Like someone else mentioned you should go to your local shop and try on a bunch and buy the one that is the best fitting and gives the best hold. Also remember you can also buy those J bars to help fill out your ankle area and get better heel hold. I use j bars, and usually put a thin strip of ducttape over them too bc their adhesive has a tendency to wear out over time.

u/Boy_Man-God_Shit · 2 pointsr/snowboarding

Two of these

u/MoonDoggy7 · 2 pointsr/snowboardingnoobs

Here you goooo had to link Amazon since Burton is closed for climate change strike. If these don’t come with a liner you could also buy a liner to add a bit more.

u/Kawai_Oppai · 2 pointsr/ElectricSkateboarding

I guessed that much already. Making something just to make it isn’t very good for business or the consumer. I’d rather see you identify a problem and solve that problem.

The bag to me seems made with the idea to carry a board but little understanding of the people actually riding the boards and when/why they might want to put it in a bag or carry it.

This is nothing more than a snowboard bag, which you can buy for $30 on amazon.

The difference. A snowboard bag is designed to protect your snowboard and wax during traveling, hotels, airplanes etc. And doesn’t need to protect wheels, motors, electronics,trucks, batteries etc. during transport. You don’t use your snowboard while it’s in a bag and don’t snowboard around carrying the bag either.

A snowboard bag works for electric longboards, but isn’t optimal, it could be improved to be optimal, which would be really cool. But your bag doesn’t attempt to solve the needs of electric longboards.

I could order a nice padded snowboard bag, with wheels and straps for this same cost with free same day shipping on amazon.

As far as I’m concerned, this is your competition at that price point. Demon Phantom Fully Padded Travel Snowboard Bag with Wheels https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NO4PFAE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_j2nLBbZSQ4WWC

Anyways it seems poorly priced, designed, and not thought out for electric longboarder needs.

u/mochirondesu · 2 pointsr/snowboardingnoobs

Was this but I grabbed the last one at that price

u/karansaraf · 2 pointsr/snowboarding

In addition to wrist guards, my most important purchase. These have saved my ass/coccyx SO many times. I've had so many heavy falls when I've caught my edge or fallen from a jump and landed on my ass with absolutely no pain afterwards, even though the force of impact was pretty damn high. 100% recommended in my view.

Mine are the Demon Flex Force D30 Impact Shorts

u/gravistational · 2 pointsr/snowboarding
u/time_and_again · 2 pointsr/onewheel

When I was learning, I fell three times. One was a nosedive because I accelerated from zero too fast. Two, was a wheelslip when I was experimenting with a really loose setting. Helmet really saved my dome on that one. Three was a wobbly patch of road at an intersection that threw me off. I'd say that was all within the first 80 miles. I've gone another hundred without a fall and think it's basically thanks to a narrow, close-to-the-wheel stance.

For gear, I say get all of it. Helmet, elbows, wrists, knees, maybe even padded undershorts if you don't want hip bruises. BUT, realistically you can go with just helmet and wrists if you know the route. I go about 1.2 miles to work on a dedicated bike path and most of the time, knees and elbows feel a bit like overkill. But I say that knowing falls can sneak up on you. You can't predict what cars and other pedestrians will do. For wrists, I grabbed these and really like them. Gloves protect the skin, but I'm worried about bones.

u/noicedream · 2 pointsr/AppalachianTrail

45L may be on the small side. the most popular pack is exos 58 for example...
(i'd do zpacks 52 or 60...they roll close and they are lightest)

sawyer squeeze over sawyer mini..i hear the flow rate is really not worth saving the tiny weight difference. but, up to if you want to do tablets, bleach, etc

definitely ditch traction. ditch umbrella. get rain gear that has vents. montbelle versalight for example. pants with vents if possible.

zpacks rain mitts are overpriced. go look at others. also i'd get rain gloves AND merino wool liners.

OR rain mitts are great and super light:

their liners i bought are a bit too thin in my opinion, but still very warm.

rab make greats jackets. i just got the xenon x and its amazingly light and warm.

the most expensive stuff, i'd try to look for deals on the items. if you look hard enough you might be able to find it on sale. (my xenon x i got for $160 vs $215)

didn't know about the ion stove, thanks!

u/mcroft · 1 pointr/snowboarding

What did you use to hang it? I don't have space to store mine, so I want to make a feature of them on the wall. I'm looking at these, but I'm not sure how secure they'd be.

Chamonix Talmont Hooded Down Jacket
$110
13.6oz total
4.6oz 850fp goose down

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FSV796N/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_KE6TDbYDM981W

No first hand experience with it, but on paper it looks good.

Also, there's some pretty sweet deals on the Montbell Alpine Light Down Parka, my US Large weighs 14oz and it's really warm, I wore it with a fleece to 18,500ft. Check the Montbell clearance page (both US and JP sites).

As far as 3 season backpacking goes, I think the best combo would be the Cumulus pullover with a 100wt fleece. Modular, light, affordable and warm for <15oz.

u/uke_traveler · 1 pointr/malelivingspace

I used to have my snowboard wall mounted. I took off the bindings to let the board seem more like art. I used these which worked well
https://www.amazon.com/HangTime-Snowboard-Wall-Mount-Black/dp/B001N84J9G/ref=sr_1_3?s=outdoor-recreation&ie=UTF8&qid=1496414102&sr=1-3&keywords=snowboard+wall+mount

The only problem is when moving out they left large holes in the wall

For close to freezing and below I’ve used my spring skiing gloves.

u/sayitaintsoap · 1 pointr/snowboarding

Anyone buy these burton pants https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078WZ8CZ5/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Love em but after i put em in the wash (cold cycle like as directed) and then in the dryer (on high heat not low like suggested) they came out wrinkled as shit. I ironed them for 20 minutes but they're still wrinkled as all hell. Something with the stretchy material is making really difficult to not make it look like i just woke out of bed wearing them all night. I'm about to return them. Any suggestions?

u/Yummy-Asian · 1 pointr/snowboarding
u/cryonine · 1 pointr/snowboarding

Very cool idea! Though I'd probably just spring for something like this to make life easier... I have a love/hate relationship with corks. Also, thank you for posting that source... a lot of very cool ideas in there. :)

u/Kontemporary · 1 pointr/snowboardingnoobs

Was recently looking for a bag myself and read through the questions on this one and multiple people said they fit two boards with bindings

u/DVNO · 1 pointr/DIY

Any idea where to get rubber spacers around 1"? I was looking at this product, to hang snowboards. It appears it's simply a drywall anchor, screw, and a rubber spacer around 1" long. Figured I could make my own for about $1.

I went to Home Depot and found nylon spacers, and metal spacers, but not rubber. An employee told me to try to the plumbing aisle. The guy there said he only had rubber washers, which were too thin.

Do those kinds of spacers go by a different name?

u/jerklin · 1 pointr/snowboarding

For heel lift you can try j-bars. I got a pair of these and they help a ton.

u/Alternative_Program · 1 pointr/ElectricUnicycle

Do [these on Amazon](Demon Flexmeter Wrist Guards Double Sided, Large (Sold as Pair) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K8ORA06/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_JtQFDbPZF6PC5) look like the right ones? All the pictures I can find show the skid plate attached with velcro. Is there any way to tell if they’re the updated design?

Also, my sizing is right between Medium and Large according to the guide. Any advice on wether I should size up to Large or down to Medium?

Thanks for helping me better picture how supermaning could be pretty bad. Honestly, sounds a lot like high-siding. Thankfully I’ve never experienced that on a motorcycle (low-siding is waaaay more common), but I can definitely see how you’d want to take every precaution!

u/VampireFlankStake · 1 pointr/snowboardingnoobs

Most was already said, but I would highly recommend the following two items:

https://www.amazon.com/Azzpadz-D30/dp/B00PG44OLQ and
https://www.amazon.com/Flexmeter-Wrist-Guard-Single-Sided/dp/B00BLS3H6Y

I'm an experiencing rider and still use the wrist guards every day (under a size larger mitt than I would wear without) and the Azzpad on any day that isn't powder.

As was already commented -- wrists and tailbones are the most common injuries that will really screw up your learning. Shoulders another weak point but no way to really help that except learning how to fall.

u/Deznuts · -1 pointsr/onewheel

1 15 snowboarding in Alaska, now lives in major city in Asia. Interesting life man. Did you go to high school in ak? What high school?


2 not sure about the assumptions on the pint safety- but portability probably makes it a non issue. You can limit the top speed in the app on an XR - and the battery power delivery with more cells out to be more robust.


3 check out the demon wrist guards if you want to add a little wrist protection- very comfortable and seems like pretty solid protection
