these luxury brands like Dior, Prada, Chanel, Loro Piana selling boards, or the throwback brands like Forum, Atlantics, Sims, Kemper

One makes old guys happy.

The other makes insecure windowlicker influencers seeking validation something to act smug about for fake internet points.

Yeah. Hard to say.

(Really just defending my salasnek reissue. Don't much care either way)

I am personally open for a lot of ways snowboarding goes. Rocker over Camber, Camber over Rocker, Turning, Spin to Win…and vice versa. But luxury SB brands are IMO the wrong way. I mean lift tickets are more and more expensive. More and more tourist skiers overal.

At the bomb hole Kevin Backstrom episode. KB told he was riding with Hamilton. He rips. Boardwise on Capita SB.
So it would be cool from him to make a collab with Spring Break. Graphic could be a burning F1 car.

But from the specs the Hamilton board looks like full camber. What else these days. So the luxury guy rockets this thing and overtakes me on my stone aged Lib TRS XC2 and my trash man baggy stuff. Or maybe not.

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

Having started snowboarding in my 30s, I don't know shit about tricks and trick names.
I know only grabs and methods, basically.

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.

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
