Something I appreciate about you. You talk about your parents (you mention them in other videos too) you share your love and respect for them. 25 plus years ago when I was young my parents worked hard to give us 5 kids the best life, did we always get the best or newest? No, but we loved what we had, it did not have to be trend setting or cool. Blah blah.... Just was touched by your remarks.

Don't let this man fool you, I saw him break this board trying to beat a mama Goose away after he ate her babies. Dudes a bird eating SAVAGE!

I feel that this comment will prob get a lot of hate but I change my gear up all the time, I work hard and make decent money so like to change up my set up, (apart from boots) I then sell my gear on, I feel that that way someone gets pre-loved gear at a fair price, kinda like recycling I guess

I do the exact same thing. There’s so so much good tech out and never enough days to explore and see what you like, love, can’t live without. Except boots. That’s all about fit, feel, and function for me.

I do the same thing. I buy most of my gear on pro-form , ride it for a season or two, and then sell it for close to what I paid. I keep my outerwear and boots for multiple seasons though.

Why get hate? You’re making it easier for people to get out on the hill by providing cheaper options, plus you’re supporting the snowboard community / companies.

Why would you get hate for that? As someone who uses primarily used gear because that's what I can afford, I love guys like you. In fact, I wish I could get your info so I could buy you pre-loved gear for a good price every year (if it's my size, that is). I'm also happy for you that you have the means to do that for yourself. Cheers!

I second this, I’m a gear junky and love getting new things that can help elevate my riding! While all my old gear gets sold for much cheaper or given away to friends and family so they can shred too!

Love ya content TB. I retired my 2003 board last year and brought all new gear in 2023, but as ya know the snow sucked here this year in Australia so I didn't get to use any of my new stuff.😢 Hopefully I get to ride next one.

Just replaced my gear after 8 years riding 10ish days per. Got the full Burton set up with the Photon’s as well. Stoked to ride them for the first time this season.

Love your videos , Thank you for making snowboarding great. learned a lot from your videos will get one of your hoodies.

Nice to see Bill Burr snowboarding again.

Ride it until it breaks, tears or falls apart 👍 still rocking Adidas boots after 3 season and 60+ days. Started to feel loose this season, so I bought thicker insoles and they feel new again 🤙

I had used until february my 2012 Rossignol Trick&Stick. What I bought from a Rental shop maybe around 2016. Still used it a month ago, it´s comming to his end. Have bought four HEAD snowboards to replace the rossi. Probably I´m good for the next 10-15 years whit boards. Have a Nitro boot around 5-6 years old, maybe I can squez one season out of them.

i have special blend gear i wore for 15years and now my daughter is wearing it!

I believe it was Kevin Jones that said he breaks in a new set of boots by wearing them in the shower. He also pulled all the laces out of the inside and what not. Basically destroys them first.

Good that You post that movie. Some of us (including me) we buy too much even If I ride 40+ days per season. Due to that I sell boards that spend 20-30 days on snow and look for holly grail of boards. Maybe thaks to You I will stop shopping for new gear ;)

id have to say its the malavita bindings is what caused the crack! they are commmon for it due to the pointy edge near the heal.

I change everything (board, binding and boots) every 3 or 4 years. I do about 20 days a year. the equipment can still last a while but it's just the pleasure of having something new after a few years. I still keep my old boards and I collect as many parts as possible from my bindings (always Burton freestyle) I go down with a fairly flex set (around 4/10 overall) that's why after 60 days it's good for me to change 🤣😅.

If it wasn’t mentioned already. Broke a Boa and asked at the shop and they said to trash the boots, too hard and expensive to fix. Did some research that night. Lifetime warranty and a snap to replace. Boa rocks! No, FREE TO REPLACE THEM.

I bought a Nitro Team gullwing 2018 in 2019 and I used it until last season (2023) it’s not broken at all on the bottom but the top it’s quite used, should I change it for a Nitro Team Pro?

I'm about the same, my gear usually lasts about 100 days or two years since I ride about 50 days a season.

IMHO usually after 100-150 days of riding, camber boards lose their pop and stiffness, with the exception being if you order a custom carving board thats 12/10 on the stiffness scale, the base and edges are never the weak points unless you trash them on early season rocks.

Before the end of the season last year i got my board serviced cleaned waxed and edged and stored it my bag. This might be a dumb question but stored properly i shouldn't have to do anything at the beginning ofvthis season right?

Wondering if you hate breaking in boots so much if you might be better off in different boots or with intuition liners

I like how you make run your equipment into the ground before switching. Most youtubers seem to have a different board every video so it's difficulty to believe them when they rave about certain gear. I have a question though, since you're the same height as me, what size snowboard snow pants do you wear? Most snowboard pants I see online seem way too long.

@tommiebennett

I usually ride medium size pants, but roll up the bottom of them 90% of the time when I ride. But I also like the baggy look I consider doing Snow pants and making them baggy but shorter, but that won’t happen until possibly next year.

What about bindings?!?

i don't know how or why, but i break my boa wire every 30 days or so. it's annoying but easy to replace

if you don't tighten the boots, isn't there a lot of play when you're carving the way you do? how is it so responsive when you're carving hard and fast? do you have any forward lean on your bindings? do you buy boots a size smaller than your sneakers?

@tommiebennett

6 ай бұрын

Great question, I don’t use forward lean but I use my ankles a lot but your body will adapt and then you don’t notice the delay in response

I don’t own my own boots I rent every time when I do rent, I can feel the difference when the boots have been broken in or not. When they are broken in they feel looser I can get my heel side edge easier.

Tell me about Clew bindings😂

What's your boot size?

Are you going to be spending time at Copper this winter?

I think the size of the rider has a huge impact on how long boards last, the constructions are not stronger as you weight more and put more stress on them.

My dood! im going to answer your question on my new video dropping today. Thanks for asking the questions!

I ride my gear until it stops working for me. I actually ride photons and would probably replace them when that boa broke out.

So I rode about 10 days a year so basically this equipment would last me 10 years lol 😂 I’m buying some photons this season myself

Burton Moto boots average about 8 years before replacement, K2 Fatbob 25 years and counting. Such an epic all mountain board!

@@Runetone it's not my only board, and that's a funny stance to take as my Honda from the early 90s was built better, easier to repair, cheaper and more reliable than any car since it. Older is always a bad thing.

wish I could make my boards last that long, I broke 3 signals this season:(...my nike zf1 boots had both soles glued back on with car windshield glue for this season and are still rockin with around 300 days in em! they started leaking though so I ended up getting a brand new pair of nike vapens for the summer in mammoth.. and a week ago I got a slightly used pair of nike zf1's since the vapens weren't my favorite. they look and smell brand new the kid barely wore em.

First time hearing the hot tub method

New stuff looks crap, use your old gear until it falls to pieces, then repair it, then use it until it explodes.
