Hinge tech baby!

finished this today, guess it's going in the garage until next season. still I'm glad I finally got around to finishing it.

for a second I thought Steve Harvey was dead then remembered it was Bernie Mack too bad.

I just noticed that another "wildstyle" has been a member since 03' has 0 posts. #nuts

for now

suscribing... good thread.

Just got back from Breck... so good.

Nice set up you've got there. I dig the california kit look where everything matches up nice and clean.

alright, so it's highly possible i will be attempting to pull a three this weekend. never done spin tricks, so this could be entertaining for my friends, and painful for myself. what's everyone's advice on how best to pull a three? it seems like it would be easier than a one, just because i can ride in and ride out in my strong stance.

All your power is gonna come from you going off either on your heel edge or your toe edge depending on which way you're spinning. and remember follow with your head look over your shoulder and commit. Oh and grab suck up and grab you'll spin faster and won't look like a ballerina.

Not rly down with Motorola and LTE a must.

Next.

There was nothing at MWC and CES that had a slide out qwerty, I was hoping for this too but it looks rather bleak at this point. Your just gonna have to suck it up and deal.

SLO MO is always dope.....Shit with the right music and filming, doing something as boring as making toast could be awesome as fuck in slo mo.

They're for someone with a small to medium face. Considering this frame tech is almost a decade old, it offers a decent field of vision but there's way better options out there from Oakley. Take a look at the Crowbar or the Splice, way better options than the A frame. If you come across the A frame super cheap then it's worth it but not at full price anymore.

Next year frameless goggles are gonna be big. I like how light they are but don't think they'll be super durable after they get squashed in your bag, gotta be extra careful with these guys.

@Ryan I have the 2.5's and the Hawkeye's and prefer the Hawkeyes because the shape fits my face better they have a huge field of vision as compared to say the figment goggle, They've held up to a lot of abuse and feel like they're barely there. I'm not a big fan of Electric because they seem to always pinch my nose.

Why is the anti-fog coating on the inside of goggles so delicate? I somehow got a drop of moisture in the middle of the lens and now I can't remove the water stain.

I hate when this happens I have two pairs of oakleys that have these tiny little persperation dots all over the inside from that crap happening.

Droid 3 has those specs but it's not gonna run LTE or have a front facing camera. but 4" screen, dual core and full slide out qwerty are on board.

The Vans boot were they a boa system? I've heard nightmare stories about it breaking but that was also several years ago when it was being introduced, nowadays I haven't heard many complaints across the industry. I'm saying that regular laces will most likely always be available, Hell last year I rode a pair of Burton Grails for most of the year and loved them, but eventually returned to a pull system because of the flexibility and the overall control over the whole boot. I just felt like a bold statement that traditional laces > all types of fast lacing systems deserved some type of explanation as to why they are better... And as aso2004 put it "To each his own" in the end.

basically explain to me how a single lacing system that you have to rely on upper arm strength to tighten down on, can possibly be better than a system which incorporates an upper and lower tightening system that lets you ease tension where you don't want it or increase it where you do... Which also works flawlessly with an internal liner that you can keep loose or tighten down on and leave the outer lacing system loose or vice versa. Granted Boa has a ton of flaws but can still do the same thing as the burton quick pull system but both of these let you ride the boot exactly how you want where as a traditional lacing system you have to cross pull to get tension and can't possible have the same amount of control over as a dual setup. And I don't want to hear about flex or some purist shit because I rode regular lacing systems for 15 years now and they're heavy and have to be retightened over the course of a day. Newer quick pull systems do not, they don't lose tension and offer more control than traditional lacing systems. The flex comes from the overall design of the outer boot and liner not the lacing structure.

I just want to hear how you feel that a traditional lacing system is better than technology that has been refined and redesigned to perform better and give the rider more options...

nothing comes close to traditional lacing.

please elaborate..

that's what puffys are for...

I haven't tied boots in 3 years. once Burton came out with the Ozone (now retired) it was over, their quick pull system knocks the shit outta Boa and is super fast. I'm currently riding the Imperail boot which is a touch stiffer than the Ozone and I really dig it. The only thing I kinda miss is the articulated cuff but it's not a deal breaker. Honestly you can't get the kind of control with traditional laces than you can with a quick pull system I leave the bottom loose and cinch up the top, I'd like to see regular laces do that and not untie after one run.

That holden Varsity Jacket is dope, but that's old news in snowboard fashion. Still the red one is growing on me...

Those Redwing boots are actually way lighter than they look and from what I've heard they ride just like the Hail. One of my favorite boots of all time even though I don't prefer it anymore because there are way lighter options out there nowadays.

They also did a collab with Sorel which blows my mind because it's like going back in time instead of forward.

A lot of natural colors coming on deck next season. the whole neon radiation color way that's been plaguing snowboarding is finally ending. Analog's shit looks amazing.

Special Blend is doing things right too...

hell yea it's somewhere... I gave up on it though sufu doesn't have that many snowboarders on it. check out one of my blogs about next years shit. WORKWEAR is coming in a big way. Redwing x Burton boot is just nuts. http://teamrad.tumblr.com

yup and it's extremely sensitive, and only used for protection when need be. Also only the males have the tooth/horn. it grows through their upper lip from when they are born and twists as they get older. I was drunk one night and researched it out of curiosity.
