Gear Breakdown AFTER 100+ days

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!

Nice to see Bill Burr snowboarding again.

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.

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

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

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 ;)

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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

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?

What about bindings?!?

Tell me about Clew bindings😂

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

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?

What's your boot size?

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

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

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

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.

Should you wear a back protector, or are they just trying to sell you unnecessary equipment?

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.

Hi TB when can i come round to yours and use your hot tub?
