Snowboard tech talk?

[Cyber Cop]

Would be nice to have a separate tech talk forum for snowboards. Too many damn two-plankers on here asking stupid shit to keep anything about boards on the page. Or maybe just a whole separate snowboard forum. Anyway....

I like the idea of tech talk having two sub forums. Ski and snowboard. Good idea IMO.

[spook]

i agree it would be nice

Www.snowboardingforum.com

Really though how many threads about stance and proper vape techniques can you post?

[doughboyshredder]

That forum blows chunks

Probably not as many as you guys can post about bad mounts, which ski size and width for 18 different variable snow conditions and how many ways you can waterproof your kincos. Oh, and really, would you use the plum binding on piste?

All the snowboard forums blow chunks. Either way too gay tray or way too epic. We need our own home right here at tgr. Me, doughboy, spook and the SOB have important shit to geek out on.

Alaskan Rover is a mono planker too. Don't forget him.

We could call the new forum, "Don't do it in the park!", and put it right between the Padded Room and Ask TGR But Don't Expect a Response. Would alleviate my carpel tunnel flare ups due to unnecessary scrolling.

Thanks for the feedback guys. We are in the midst of trying to re-organize the forums and create new more intuitive experience for all the mags.

Reminds me of this thread from some kook discussing a format more like found on this forum...

Yep, it would be really nice to have a snowboard gear swap and tech talk forum, 1 forum for both would be just fine.

I've ran into some great deals and advice from other riders that lurk here, but I think they're hesitant to post in what is almost exclusively a ski firum.

If the search function worked it wouldn't much matter right?

no shit. all these other topic-specific forums are just enabling people who are too lazy to use search. lets just have one big forum.

I fully agree. I always look through tech talk but every subject is ski related.

Right now there aren't too many threads in Ski/snowboard about snowboarding at all....so it's pretty much already a ski fourm.

i think it would actually be cool to have a place to post snowboard specific posts...I think it would be small, enough though, that it wouldn't need a separate snowboard tech talk/gear swap. Sorta like how the kayaking or biking forum is set up...TRs, tech talk and gear swap all in one forum would be simplest. Really EPIC TRs could always be cross-posted into the ski forum for more eyeballs.

i ski AT as well, so when I want ski-related i'd go to ski...when I want snowboard-related, I'd go to "Snowboard".

Have a poll about it, maybe....or just go ahead and do it. Even the skiers might enjoy it from time to time.

Cyber-cop: Where is this EPIC snowboard forum you were talkin' about?????

How much you want to bet AK Rover SUCKS at snowboarding and is the old guy with the gaper gap trying to fit in saying "dude" and shit to young guns?

Yea dude totally, I bet you are a way more proficient sideslipper than AKR

[doughboyshredder]

[Tye 1on]

sideslipoff!!

Let's move all the fucking conditions threads out of Ski and Snowboard forum first before we need to fuck with a snowboard tech talk. Seriously. And I will have a ski off with any brainless hamster who thinks otherwise.

Sorry, Advres...hate to burst your malformed opinion of me, but if I sucked at snowboarding I would have given it up years ago....as sucking at something isn't much fun...unless, like you, one actually enjoys 'sucking'. Do you do your vid editing up on the 'third floor', Advres? I'm betting you do.

I agree. Most of them contain about as much stoke as a Dachau picture book.

without regard to the bitter one, "suck" is a huge field. plenty of people suck at snowboarding and love it, including myself, and the thought of giving it up has never entered my mind as anything other than a tragedy.
