Yes there is a part two coming next, thanks for asking! Hope this is helpful and can of course be done outside also.

@stewartkrisskriss7082 yes and no it depends on the lay of the land you are dressing on ie stepping into them on! Hope this helps? I find my strap easier to reach since they are higher off the ground coming up the boot! Even with my lack of flexibility!

@@vikingplumber9541 Glad to know it makes sense to someone! I

@@vikingplumber9541 Happy Holiday’s plus if you have time after the new year could you come by and look at my bathroom plumbing ideas? I’m in Radiant lake phone number is 208 512 0996 thanks.

@@Paulie44 thanks nice to hear from across the pond! Hope your season will be a good one!

@ thank you 🙏

@@KatieW-g9s it was my pleasure to help you enjoy your snow sports journey, thank you the kind words!

@@meagankearney9203 It is my pleasure to help others something I believe every person should do during our lifetime, but of course snowboarding is my passion! Keep Shredding and stay safe!

@@WAco-se9wf we appreciate your support; we want to give back to this great community across the globe and hope we can continue to help others. It is my personal goal to do this every day out on the slopes to increase their knowledge and riding skills!

@@emilysmitheram3272 That’s what we want for you all simple straightforward tips! So happy for you hopefully you’ll follow us and “Shred Ahead”. Plus tell others about your experience with us, we love it!

Thanks for the comment, always nice to hear from you!

@@vikingplumber9541 well I sure plan to find out watch for what Jones boards I’ll be riding this season. You’ll find my Amplid rides up north at Schweitzer if you up there this season! Still waiting for the next big dump?

Thanks Adam nice to hear from you too. It’s been a slow start for sure but with luck we’ll finally get more powder days this season?

Sorry about that but it opens ups here everytime can't say why it didn't open for, all the best on your end!

@@VincentDuxD Thanks Vic we hope you’ll get out this season and Shred all the best to you and yours!

Thank you for the comment; we actually have many different conversation and talks about countless number of riding issues. We really want to help others and will always look for ways to Shred Ahead!

@@misfitssnowboarding Thanks for calling us old folks BOYS everyone should find longevity by doing something they Love!

@@vikingplumber9541 let’s hope for a good start up early!

@@finboyYYC it’s always good to be upright Amen!

Stewart: we prefer standing & it makes no differences whether the binding is a strap in or step in! They both require the same consideration; a spot where the ground allows you to secure the deck. We like to chop in the heel edge first while facing downhill and then begin with all the straps out of the way bring the back leg around to the toeside pulling the foot into the heel pocket to start strapping up! Because dressing sitting down can also be challenging depending on your stance width and length of leg bones not to mention stiffness/arthritis, which additionally isn't help by being in wet cold snow. Lastly you'll need to roll over to the toeside unless you're still very strong abdominally which isn't likely at our age? If we knew what your stance width is and your binding angles are set at that would help the discussion. Jim & Ted

@@Sleddog215 For me it is a binding that serves its purpose overall! However it was a little quarky and required a certain leg position to get out of that at times especially on the rear foot that was a little irritating. I had no problem getting out of the front foot, plus the high back was limited in adjustment. It wasn’t for me but someone who wanted an easy entry and not riding a lot might really enjoy it!

Glad you enjoyed it

Wow, thank you! We are glad to have you giving us feedback because we want to feed the stoke and keep life joyful with the beauty of mountain life. I used to teach at Wilmot Mt in Wisconsin for about 6 years from 1978-1984 loved it!

@@ShredAheadSnowboarding Nice! Wilmot is where I learned!! I actually visited there last season! Keep up the good work!! Here's to the 2024/2025 season!!

@@misfitssnowboarding Thank you we hope to inspire others to continue their life adventure in winter sports!

It can be but the question is; was it transferred fore or aft? Generally the weight end up aft ie back foot riding which does work but we want the nose of the board to be the starting point of turns. At this point in learning I am most interested in a flat board or slightly edged one created by alignment vice upper body rotation, which quickly becomes a bad habit. We'll get into steering starting with the feet later not the upper body.

@@ShredAheadSnowboarding Yes it could end up with too much speed. (leaning forward. and un weighting the back.) Then, they are trying to shave off speed. This could be a bad thing in uneven terrain.

Yes that would true, with the issue being timing blending the fore and aft movement this take time to learn, which is why early on I would like to see edge use.

When a majority of weight is either fore or aft or center, that creates a pivot on a flat board. The other end has reduced contact with the snow (or none) . There are a few people in the world that can steer doing a wheelie but steering the front EDGE will create the opportunity for blended control

@@tedhillson7259 Right on TED way to take lessons learned to the game!

Thanks for being there it helps to hear from everyone!

Actually in five days I become an offical "Octogenarian" not 2 old to ride!

Sounds great!

David, Just 115 days by my crystal ball...

Vic it is normal for the aging to get that way especially since we sincerely care about others who haven't taken the time to think it over! Like they say don't let the Ass in assumption make an ASS out of you! True story for both of us! All the best pal.

Vincent, there's no snow!! Normally Jim and I jaw on the ride. It's all just anticipation right now and sweltering...

@@tedhillson7259 well, the winter is coming xD

Please do and add good health plus an early season start up!

Wow you jumped into it Big Time! I have stepped over to Jones boards a little bring on a freecarver 9000 & 6000 plus one more for the up coming season plus the Jones mercury bindings. I'm not sure what current gear I'll hold on to for now, plus moving toward and more positive stance. Hope it works to!

Thanks we appreciate the comeback and support! We try as best as we can!

Nice to hear from you. Did you ride much this season?

@@ShredAheadSnowboarding not at all, should have made the time but a lot has happened, you guys seems as fit as ever XD

I still remember sliding in the Highland of Scotland cold and windy!

@@ShredAheadSnowboarding always wet/cold in scotland,, im on the east coast seaside town Withernsea HU19 2EP

Thanks for sharing of course at our age Ted & I only have one way to go until the real end? God willing we SHRED away!!!

I have generally bought my boots in my shoe size's some companies were a little small some were a little big it definitely varies a lot, no consistent sizing across the board. Lately in the Ride boots a 12/ 30.0 was a comfortable wear but is a little loose in fit after packing down. So I started to buy a 11.5/ 29.5 for a more performance fit tight at first but just right after break in, hope this helps?

Helps a lot. Thanks for your time.

Awesome! Thank you! It's our pleasure to help others!

Glad your back at it enjoying winter with your family! It's not been the best season out of the 30 years I've spent here but it gets the job done and your right, here in the NW we are lucky to still have some of the lower prices around! Let's hope they stay that way but parking is becoming a big problem at all of them since so many people are jumping off the west coast for a more stable community! If you out and see us stop and say hello to the two old guys still trying to pretend that we are young, haha!

The weather is spring like with firm snow in the am and softer as the day go on! The grooming is good overall. The pattern going forward this coming week is some snow in the evenings though the mid-week and after I don't know what to expect some spring time conditions.
