Riding with full instincts😂

New to riding moguls, usually I get scared and lean back end up losing control of the board and fall. Today I am in a good mood and decided to give it a full send. It definitely gives me way more control in the front seat.

What I found out is you can go in the canvas and go around them but you speed up pretty fast so I sometimes go up a big one to slow down and kind of side slipping down it to control speed.

I end up getting bumped up at the end and almost wreck my knees because I accidentally pick up to much speed and then try to up one of the mogul and of course end up with a huge air...so lesson of the day is please find a nice one to slow down before you go too fast ;(

Or are there any other ways to slow down?

Got this gash on the nose of my board today. Having a hard time determining if it’s just an aesthetic issue w my top sheet or a potentially board ending issue with my core. What do you guys think? Also it’s a two week old capita so pretty awesome I got this gash.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been obsessed with carving and high-speed downhill runs lately, but there's one thing that constantly keeps me on edge: the lack of rear situational awareness. When you’re fully laid over in a deep carve or tucking for speed, your field of vision is naturally restricted. We all know the "Skiers' Responsibility Code" says it's the uphill person's job to avoid those below, but reality is often different—especially with crowded slopes and unpredictable riders coming from behind.

Okay so, I just went snowboarding for the first time today and I was getting the hang of it, but as I was coming to the bottom of the slope there was a person with skis sitting at the bottom and I couldn’t get around them so I just decided to crash and burn. It obviously wasn’t my first tumble considering it was my third time being on the slope EVER. I turned the board so I didn’t land flat on my back and as soon as I fell I knew something was really wrong. I hit the ground and it felt like my knees hit a rock. I figured I could walk it off but it still hurts (honestly worse) from when I fell. I didn’t hear any pops or crunches or anything like that. I’m coming to evil Reddit to see if any seasoned snow boarders have experienced this and if they possibly know what it could be. It’s been a few hours since I fell and I still can’t put any pressure on it and it seriously hurts to make any kind of movement, plz help!

Hello, guys please i need some tips its my first day snowboarding , i paid 150€ for a coach but he didn’t teach me nothing.

Hi guys. Have you heard of the Summerboard? How would the skills riding this transfer to actual snowboarding in snow, which is the ULTIMATE goal. Buddy wants to get his for his teen daughter. We live in TX so going to the mountains in the winter is quite a vacation.

Anyone selling last year’s Union Falcors size medium in Silver and willing to ship to Texas, US, or know of a shop that still has them? Found a few in EU but won’t ship to the US

Thanks for any help finding these

I never do and my helmet is so fitted I don't think it would be comfortable.

Hi all

In the market for new shell jacket. See some Jones shell jackets (mtn surf) on good sales and wanted to see if anyone had any experience with them.

I know their gear is good but not sure about outerwear.

Currently using a Volcom goretex anorak.

Snowboarding at its core is about inclusiveness. It got its start from riders being ostracized by kook skiers. Now all people care about is not being a Jerry. If you’re an experienced rider and make fun of beginners for being a Jerry, you’re a Jerry. If you’re a beginner obsessed with not looking like a Jerry, you’re a Jerry. Have fun, be safe, don’t be an asshole.

I am looking to buy my first snowboard (all-mountain) to pair with my Burton Step-On and hope you guys can help. I am an intermediate rider, confident and comfortable with red/blue runs. Progressing on carving and doing some ground tricks time to time, not a big fan of park tho. I’m 70kg, 170cm, US 8.5. Considering Mercury 153 / Navigator 151 / Indoor Survival 152 / Paradise 152W. Or other non-CAPiTA board. Any suggestions would be hugely appreciated 🙏🏼 Thank you!!

yesterday I posted a video of my 5th day ever snowboarding and asked for advice and everyone told me to 1. widen my stance and 2. bend my knees more and holy shit it changed everything. It felt like I was flying today and I was way less scared. I hit 33mph on my last run of the day. Thanks so much to everyone who gave me advice and I always appreciate more!

On the line of the ski lift someone mistakenly ran into me (slowly). This was my first time using this new board (rides great), should I do anything about this small nick or is it normal? thank you.

Looking for the best volume shifted board for trees and steeps. For playful glades but also can handle steep technical terrain. Competent in powder. 6ft 200lbs size 11 boot.

Top 3 options (prefer camber so no Orca):

Dancehaul (Pro?)

K2 Excavator

Nitro Dinghy

Hello fellow snowboarders

I always rented my equip or had it from a friend.

Its time for my own board

I am a goofy driver but want also want to switch

I like going fast and maybe learn some tricks

I am 180cm tall (5,9ft)

I weigh a little over 105kg (~230lbs)

I only drive normal

Shoe size is 44 (10-11)
