lol, no. I'm just huge. If I remember correctly is was a Large.

You dont have to. I just prefer to to keep the board as fresh as possible long-term. I've had a some boards dimple pretty bad over a few years of not taking bindings out.

One of only a handful in Reno

It does pretty good. The tight turning radius makes it a bit tough on hard pack if you're on the tall side like myself. If you know how to lean and manipulate which part of your edge is in on contact with the snow it can be a lot of fun.

From what I heard no. With the pond skim on Saturday they didn't want to maintain the park also dig the pond.

thanks!

thanks

hello

Sadly no, this was from a few weeks ago.

Wild, the lens change on these were pretty easy compared to others I've had. They Semi-frameless build.

I've heard, probably a bit small for my big feet.

Not landing far enough back. Nose dipped under the Sierra Cement.

Got one coming that has a few

Sure

It's one hell of a local mountain

It really comes down to how you like your turns on groomers. Personally I'm not a fan of the rocker in most lib/gnu or neversummer's. It makes low speed swivels and some edge to edge easier, but you tend to have less control and the edge control you do have is focused on certain areas. I'm a bit skeptical on the Slimwalls on the new Rides - There's a reason the ski and snowboard industry all but abandoned cap construction years ago. K2 seems like they're trying to save money by calling it a new tech and charging you the same (if not more)

Thanks for the feedback. I am used to the magnatraction since my current board is a T rice pro. Do you think the superpig and the orca have a similar ride feel? Maybe I should keep both lol I got them brand new for a great deal.

The first rule of Mt. Rose... You don't talk about Mt. Rose...

You ever watch Craig Kelly ride? Just sayin.

You clearly only watched the opening clip, lol

@@WilAlexander I just meant Kelly was 90% arms 😂 and better than most of the planet on a board. It’s possible he could have been better with less arm movement but it wouldn’t have looked as dope.

No worries, I got what you meant. Chad unfortunately made a quick judgement comment - That first clip I flailed my arms because of the drops into tracked out heavy snow (also being tired from consecutive pow days). I'd love to see him navigate bumpy terrain with speed keeping his arms down, haha.

Hope this helped

The Douk should be coming soon. I'm hoping to get one more pow day on it so I can have a full review. The Salomon is my wife's board.

Thanks!

That's rad. I wanted to go so bad.

Looks like we're finally getting it

Mt. Rose in Tahoe

Thank you

It should fit - most brands don't make goggles that dont fit their own helmets. On their site, it's only images they have with helmets is the Method.

Mt. Rose

Thanks 🔥

I could see that

He took 156 Orca in this video which is too small for him. He should be on 162. No wonder he didn't like it. He tested skunk ape which is 170 and it was good.

I've never seen the Burton Fish, but looking at the details on both - I see the Fish as a Steep and Deep only board. The taper is way gnarlier than the Orca which will give you a ton of nose float. That nose float is great if it's steam, tends to slow you down, which on mellow terrain can be an issue with speed. I think the Orca is more of an All-mountain board that leans towards pow.

lol, Nice try, but no. The 156 is as big as most companies "wide" boards. The 156 orca is similar to a 172 Skunkape with the tail chopped (the 156 as a twin is 176cm). I've ridden small boards my whole life. What I didn't like about the Orca was the placement of the inserts in relation to the C2x rocker. The center rocker is too close to the front inserts, making the back end pivot out easier. That makes the front camber sit out in front of your foot instead of under it which makes the nose contact point grab early.

Don't want to contradict you, but they recommend Orca to be ridden 3-6cm smaller than your regular board size. I'm 6'3, 13 size boot, and 162 should be my perfect size. That's the biggest Orca you can get. T. Rice drives 153/156. And I am much bigger than him. You even more :-). All I wanna say is when I jump on the smaller size board for my weight/height, I barely can drive it. Total lack of control. So I thought this happened to you as well. Never step on the Orca. But I will in a few weeks time. I own 165 skunk ape and I love it.. But I am eager to try the Orca :-)

I get that, but smaller boards are easier to ride being more skate-like. Charging and carving is out of the question, but maneuvering a small board is considerably easier than a larger board - You can stand on a 2x4 and get it to tip over, stand on a 2x10 it takes way more effort. The skunkape was sick, but a completely different ride than the orca.

Still rocking the GoPro 9 with the standard sticky mount on the helmet.

Thanks!

Let me know. I also tried the the upgrade to a Samsung Pro Plus microsd and I haven't had any issues since.

Thank you

It's additional shots that aren't always thought of. Also when it comes to goggles - So much is user experience with head size, face shape, nose size, helmet fit, etc.

Thanks 😁

They are the same binding just different graphics. I have a video I'm putting together about this. Because you have to buy direct from Lobster and there's only one shop that carries Bataleon an hour away I haven't checked out the fit. But since they're both made by Rome now, the L/XL should be able to take a bulkier boot. As far as 32, I remember hearing years back that the TM-2 has a smaller footprint, but I dont know if that's actually true.

I think the Whatever is probably a more rounded board than the Twinpig. Depending on your height the tight radius on the Twinpig can be tricky. The Whatever is more of you classic all-mountain twin with a hint of directional in just the tip and tail.

Fantastic, great help comparing the two boards, could not find Demos. Leaning toward the 162W Whatever. Currently ride a 169 skunk ape & 163W stump ape at 6'5" 225lbs, but want softer for training rails, butters, jibbing, spins etc. Stoked for your channel, Thank YOU!

This is the Douk Freighter

These were the Nitro Team Binding, but I recently go the new Union Forces

Bent Metal only get up to L. My 14s need XL to not get heel pinch

These are the new Forces - Union finally made an XL again this year.

@@WilAlexander yeah Iv got them in white hoping this don’t happen but I’ll be prepared for it and my bro you playing with my emotions smokey keeping it hush hush on the board side lol

It's a tiny company called Douk out of the UK. I'm trying not to talk much about it because I've only had a few days on it so I cant quite give my opinion on it

@@WilAlexander my brother mad love and thank you just want to do some looking into see what they’ve got to offer you and I are similar in a lot of ways I just weigh a lot more probably lol

It is the Freighter. Got the 160 before they started making the 164. I have some thoughts on the board as is. Donek's are beyond pricey, especially with their 2023 site. In the past there was more information. Douk while small still gives out specs like a standard company.

@@WilAlexander I am only 188cm 6,2 with A size 47,5-48 around 13 in Us. i always thought i was bad off with that size. But you taller guys with 14+ feet. you really Don't have many options in Snowboarding. when it comes to boards And bindings. Its a bit funny that a lot of boots come in bigger sizes.

It really is a wonder why brands that sell 13+ and have the data for how many they sell, dont then make boards for those 13+ boots.

I'd go with the 162, especially if you have 13-14 boots. Anything to get that extra width. Been riding an ultra wide board lately and it's a game changer in terms of riding feel.

Nope. More soon when I have a chance to get more time on it.

I'm still using the GoPro 9 Black
