Hi guys. I've been riding for about nine years or so ( can't remember for sure ) and I just bit the bullet and bought myself a snowboard ( yay for not renting )I got a 156cm RIDE Agenda board. I got it when we were heading HOME >_< I had work that monday so we were in a hurry/ the guy didn't put the bindings on or wax it for me:/ ..... Oh and i know that my bindings are on backwards(switched around lol) I was spaceyyyyy when i put the stuff on/ sleeeeepy
Welcome! Nice looking board there. If you have been snowboarding for 9 years, why so long until you finally buy a board. You do not go very often? Looks like you are into gaming too!
Yeah, I go once or twice a year so it just seemed easier to rent. Much to my blindness lol.The xbox 360s are my roomies. But techincally one of them is mine now ( he was too lazy to send it in to get fixed for free since it had the red ring of death and I did and now it's basically mine now. )I have a pretty good computer setup too if you guys are into that stuff too. ( / i built myself)Anyway. my main question is:I want to wax it / do the edge thing and stuff before i go snowboarding Feb. 13th -16th at Redlodge, MT.I've been looking at these two pages and then a bunch of videos on youtube, etc etc etc. to try to decide what to buy to wax/ maintain my board.http://www.bettersnowboarding.com/snowboardtuneguide.htmlI would like to see that wax scraper catcher thing in a video to see how/if it actually works as intended.The Dakine kit looks really nice.If you have the time, space, patience, and money to learn tuning yourself then sure, go for it. If not, have a shop do it. The guys there can do a better job than you and I can, lets face it they do so many they are really good!
Well I'd like to wax my board before I go on my trip so that's the main reason I want to do it myself. ( so i don't have to waste time having the shop do it when I could be snowboarding ).I live in North Dakota and there's no ski shop near me at all… so that's why I can't just bring it to a shop before the trip…?Also, I'm wondering what all I need …. :/Should I get the stuff that I have in my cart @ tactics or should I just go for the Dakine Kit?
Good question. Either choice is good. I lean towards the kit since it includes everything you need for basic tuning and probably comes with a manual for tuning tips.
Iron I can get for 35.Edge tool…? ( suggestions on what to get ? )File brush? Isn't it just a brass brush?/ I have one for cleaning guns.Plastic scraper=8-10 buckspocket stone= ? can i buy one separate..?wax=would like to try a couple different kinds.
I cant really answer that last question (dont an edge toool and pocket stone do the same thing tho?)But btw you prollly shouldnt need the base cleaner as far as i know since you just bought the snowboard. Ive heard its not good for the base either (someone correct me if im wrong
