HARDGOODS 25/26

I noticed that too. I was heavy on the sims train when they had their US resurgence but lately I get the uhhh ?

[G.D.]

at least sims has been around making boards in one form or another. I don’t think the Japan side of the business ever stopped, they put together a cool US team, and have only done one or two “reissues” - made some decent videos too.

I will say reposting an influencer doing a tindy is pretty.. weird

Ivy's a surfer who hangs with the likes of Caley Vanular and other semi-pro riders who have embraced the influencer side of things, so i give that a pass,

but the Sims snowboards page also likes a lot of the alt-righty memes that Muellers alt account posts, too, so

Exactly. I followed her for a time, she's cool with a lot of the main Burton riders ie. McMorris, Ferg etc also, iirc. So she's actually in the scene to some degree, plus surfing as Cole mentioned as well.

And she's pretty funny, as well. Doesn't take herself seriously.

Or Tailfish (my preference)

You mean "Switch Method" right?

Lord of the tailfish.

I've never went full Travis parker to get good at switch. If I ever go off anything switch, it's an accident and I'm in real trouble.

Oddly I can land switch with a backside rotation but struggle on a frontside rotation.

My daughter is a lefty. Possibly dyslexic. And sometimes forgets which way she rides. It's weird to watch her ride one way one day and then the opposite the next.

It's pretty easy, you take off regular, look uphill, do a switch method in the air and land regular.

I understood what you were saying from the getgo. I just had other half-related thoughts my brain wanted to say.

Wow, every '26 Volcom jacket just comes in... brown.

[casjcade]

I picked up 3 (100 each) brown Volcom goretex jackets of the same model. 1 w/o lining, 1 w/lining, 1 a size up for layering.

The function on this is more interesting than I expected. The heel hold is a bigger K2 Conda, basically, not exactly groundbreaking IMO. The forefoot is forsure unique. I wonder if step on uniquely opens the possibility to move the forefoot harness inside? Or is that also functional with a tradition boot. With step on you just need to transfer the force to the outside clips, not up through the shell on top.

RE: more BOAs - Its clear that as BOA has gotten way more reliable over time, companies can get way more creative with layout and use case. Good luck replacing that cord in the right orientation if it snapped. I don't see any obvious reason, other than it looking kinda funny, you couldn't squeeze more dials on boots. The H4 dial breakaway largely alleviates that concern for the average resort rider.

Re: volcom I like the guide and gutch stuff (makes sense as a 40yr old gray hair). The rest of it not so much. Side note, lame that they use models instead of riders, the riders usually get a couple of bucks for going on the catalog shoots (but i guess that’s what happens when you let virtually the entire team go), even more lame that there are skiers in the women’s section looking very skiery.
