r/snowboarding

I’ve always wanted to film myself snowboarding, but GoPro mounts on helmets have always seemed big and too dorky for me.

So I went and looked at some clip on coat cameras. They looked fine, honestly but they also looked kind of sketchy.

Then I found the Powerkeep ski goggles with a camera built into it. Too good to be true! Yeah, the reviews looked really suspicious.

So y‘all what cameras do you use? Below I’ll list my terms and conditions for my price and expectation.

price is limited to $200 or below.

4k30fps

Not huge and clunky or weirdly obvious.

Like do you wait it out (couldn't be me lol), do water sports, maybe mtb or everything just to get that adrenaline shot?

I’ve been looking for something that lets me listen to music while I’m snowboarding without needing a special helmet. (I currently have a basic one from Costco) I’ve seen ads for a ski headband but there are mixed reviews and idk of any other options that are able to be used for snowboarding that are relatively sturdy (I am a beginner-intermediate so I still fall sometimes so I’d like something that could handle that) If anyone knows of any options please let me know. Thanks

Looking to buy (new or used) my first nice board this year. I’m 6’4 220 and wear a size 13 boot. I’m a pretty intermediate rider and looking for something all-mountain.

Any recs or other factors to consider?

EDIT: thanks for all the replies. Going to look at some lib tech and ride’s this weekend!

I have been snowboarding for over twenty years. I spend a lot of time in the park. I’m decent enough. One thing is I haven’t bought my own board in like 10 years. I have keep kinda inheriting boards that either my brother or friends stopped using.

The boards I’ve ridden enough to call my own in the past 10 years or so are Dinosaurs Will Die 152, GNU Riders Choice 157, Academy Propaganda 155.

Right now, I am looking at getting just a skate style jib board as soft as possible within reason. I have never really had the opportunity to ride a real noodle more than a couple of runs, so I want to give it. A shot. As my now, my top choice is the Bataleon Disaster.

The question is size. I am 6’ 175lbs, and wear a size 12-13 boot. So I definitely going with a wide. But my question for you all is how much does the wide increase stability? I’ve never really ridden one and I am torn between the 153w and 156w. I spend most of my time in and around the park but do like to dive off into the trees and keep up with my friends at some higher speeds.

Any input would be great.

I’m about to buy this new board the Solomon fastlane. And I’m stuck between size 153 and 157.

I am 5,10-5,11. I weight 145-149lb. I am an advanced to expert rider. Boot size 9.5.

I prefer all mountain riding with some free ride when the snow offers it. Minimal Freestyle, simply kickers.

Please help me out! Thank you!

Edit: I forgot to include the weight of my gear on top of my regular weight. Woops. So that weight is with civilian clothes on, snow gear adds 7-12lb? Guess?

I just finished my first season in falls creek Australia and I’m about to go to Japan to work in hakuba for the season. I want a board that I can improve with and continue using in shitty Australian conditions. I’m looking for something all mountain and with a bit of float for Japan but ideally also capable for some park riding and side hits. I’ve been looking at the Capita mercury but any advice or suggestions would be great

Hey all, Posted on here a few days ago about a custom board I’m getting done and figured I would make another post with more details.

General information

• Size 17 boot (RIDE insano 2526)
• 235lbs
• 6’ 7“

Snowboard specs

• Model(SM):Kona
• Length:169cm
• Waist Width32cm
• Sidecut:8m - 11m
• Reference Stance:58cm (22.8in) max 62cm min 54cm

Boot is 13.75 inches from heel to toe
Riding angle will typically be +15/-15

My main worry is still the width it was unclear in the previous post with a few saying it wasn’t wide enough and others saying I should go wider. This is being custom-made by Donek. Sean over at Donek originally suggested a 30.5cm waist, however I was skeptical about still experiencing toe drag.

As for the stance I believe I’m keeping that I’m at 58cm (feet level with shoulders). I rode twice last year after a while and it felt ok, however I didn’t go much because the toe drag I experienced pushed me away from snowboarding. but if anyone has any comments feel free to let me know.

I ride a Jones Stratos and Burton counterbalance.

I’m wondering if anyone can help out a kinda odd search. I’ve checked through lots of snowboard review archives but can’t find the board I remember.

I am looking for a board that has like ruled paper with drawings (like notebook type thing) as a gift for my first “paper” anniversary. If anyone remembers anything similar please pass on the model and year!
