Hello all! I'm a beginner-intermediate resort rider on the East coast. Conditions are a mix of pow, groomed and icy. I currently have a 20 yo full camber Sims Destiny, I want a new board with better turn initiation and that can help me improve my carving skills. I also want to be able to go from a sportier carve to more mellow turns.

My top options currently are;

2022 YES. PYL for 200 CAD (I might be able to pair it with Union Force bindings)

2023 Bataleon Goliath w/ Blaster AW for 400 CAD

2026 Rome Warden w/ Ride C-6 for 660 CAD

I'm sure any of these options will feel better than what I currently have, but what would be your pick?

Hello Shredditors! I am finally ready to move on from my first board, a 2006 Sims Destiny 157 (10mm full camber, true twin and 120cm EE). I've looked at plenty of options and the Jones Mountain Twin would probably be the most obvious answer, but the Korua Café Racer just sounds a lot more fun. The only thing holding me back is that I'm seeing some mixed reviews and would like some opinions if that's the right board for me.

-Beginner / intermediate, I ride a little bit of black

-I only ride resorts on the Canadian East coast, so it's always a little bit of everything (light pow, corduroy and chunky / icy stuff)

-I want to be able to go from a sporty carve to a more mellow ride, no tricks or park

-I would like a board that I can ride for longer, my current one feels heavy to steer and gets chattery/unstable quickly

What are your thoughts? TIA

Hi folks! Anyone else having issues with Tensei Slime specifically? I'm watching on a TLC smart TV, I tried to launch the show this morning, but it's stuck on the spinning wheel animation. I cleared the cache and the data and restarted the TV. Jujutsu Kizen works just fine, but I can't watch Tensei Slime, I tried episode 55 and 56 with the same result

I'm planning a deck with a PT top. Is there an advantage to picture framing your deck other than looks? I'm thinking the end grain might be a little more protected than the elements, but then again dirt might collect between the boards and hold moisture... Definitely more cutting with picture framing though. Maybe I'm overthinking it. Thoughts?

This was the most frustrating fight so far... I watched several guides on how to beat him but I still struggled. Summoning help didn't really help either because he just becomes more mobile. Here's my personal recipe for beating him:

Ingredients:

1 pair of Tonfas

2 Sloth Amulets

4 Raijin Feathers

1 Thunder Amulet

Sub 30% armor weight and mid stance

Instructions:

1. Apply thunder amulet to the tonfas

2. Drop down in the arena, lock the camera on his face and hit him with both sloth amulets

3. Run to his side (2nd leg) and start swinging

4. When he attacks either dodge or block

5. When he's out of Ki use the raijin feathers

6. Rinse and repeat until you can grapple his face

7. Enjoy :)
