  • are you riding a camber or rocker i spend about the same amount of time in powder as in park i currently ride a rocker for powder days but its not giving me enough pop and im not sure if i should switch to camber or get a hybrid

  • @Iinkomac Hi, thank you for your question,

    I'm riding a directional cambered board in this video.

    What board/s are you riding?

    I have riden boards with different camber and rocker profiles, and my opionion is (while camber is "shaped out" to load more snap with jumps and out of carves etc) it's the board's construction and materials that really help you generate that "pop" i.e the amount of carbon fiber and the way it runs throughout the board. I must say bamboo is also really good...

  • @Iinkomac If you have the luxuray of riding on powder (more than shin deep) so often and you want a twin shaped board I would avoid traditional camber unless it's directional, because it's not so great for floating.

    I like camber because it hold its edge through mixed terrain stable for bombing and is really good at locking into landings.

    The snowboad: Ride Society,has really good pop but is cambered and best for massive jumps and half pipe, if thats what for want for a 2nd board.

  • @Iinkomac If you want a twin for pow, pop and park, boards I recommend you are:

    Arbor: westmark or blacklist: for powder, rails and pop. Or the coda if your gona size up for pow, also bamboo pops better with a larger tail I feel.

    Burton: nug for great pop, allmt, rails, ground tricks and spins.

    Never summer: proto: hybrid rockercamber has lots of carbon fiber check it out!

  • LUCKY!! u ever been to jackson after a dump?

  • @fakyfiles No, how good is it size and pow wise?

  • @BladeEdgeRider snow isn't too good this year but we had 2 straight days where it was puking and it was butter and we're expecting a storm tonight I hope it doesn't miss us. But yeah if you have a day off and the weather for jackson says heavy precipitation you pack your bags and get ready for a pretty good ride, just make sure you come to the village early so it's not shredded up

  • @BladeEdgeRider and it's fluffy sometimes, soggy sometimes sometimes it has volume and sometimes its just boggy puke that you want to get the hell out. really depends how mother nature feels

  • Nice powder.... Can't wait till it dumps this year!!!!! Nothing like riding fresh untracked powder I wish everyone could experience that feeling.... The world would be a better place. More powder less work.... Still dreaming about last year tree runs in knee deep fluff... Good stuff.... Peace

  • nice vid :)

  • Powder<3

  • thats a great run.. been up to the hanging valley wall?

  • nice video, what do you record with? I'm getting a gopro, hoping to open up a new channel too!

  • @Red04MonteLS Thanks, this was recorded with a gopro too, in 920p mode (gives max view) I used the head strap that comes with the helmet hero package. A snowboarding channel?

  • @BladeEdgeRider

    i usually make different youtube pages for each thing that I like, like currently this one is strictly for my car, i have another for video games and then i'll make one for snowboarding

  • I was in Aspen from the 4th to the 11th of February and the powder was heaven

  • so there is a difference between snows? powder and not powder?

  • @electricity95 There sure is: Powder=dry like flower, slushy= wet like a slurpy, Icy=an absence of the others; just a hard frozen surface.

    Crusty, Packed, choppy etc... are just variations...

  • @BladeEdgeRider im gonna be snowboarding on powder this season instead of icy, how would i adjust the way i ride?

  • @electricity95 I find that if you ride a board thats only slightly directional with a default stance that is already set back a little; widening your stance out a few centimeters from the default position will let you devour the pow and charge the groomers!

  • @BladeEdgeRider And... on a prepared piste you shift your weight more to the front leg, while in the powder you have to lean back a lot and put your weight more on the back leg to avoid getting your nose buried in the snow. Like a little constant manual. Don't underestimate riding in the powder, it's more difficult than it looks!

  • @electricity95 and @BakjeLeip Like BakjeLeip said below is good advice

  • My favorite part is from 4:15
