Park vs Powder Snowboarding? Corralco Chile Check-in

[@gnargnar4976]

You should do a full video breakdown of gummy stones. Still dont really know how they work or when to use them and I'm sure others are in the same boat.

[@joepetch308]

Travis Kmiecik they take all the unwanted metal/burrs off your edges that come from sharpening/dulling/riding. I tend to use a gummy stone after sharpening and after a long day riding. Hope that helps! 🤙🏻

[@xertz4267]

just wanted to say, thank you TJ for being so dedicated to this channel and snowboarding in general. I really hope you get the recognition that you deserve because you really are awesome, and so beneficial for the community. i hope to see you this year at whistler if you're gonna be up there!

[@naterider3874]

Great stuff bro getting me fired up for the season already!!

[@biggbadger5731]

Great video but I'm all about that powder

[@stevezimmerman5644]

Chile is awesome so much variety in 1 place. And monkey puzzle trees are cool.

[@eligomes7075]

bro keep going ur doing great keep up the good work man

[@BoardArchive]

Thanks Eli, got a couple more that will be up soon!

[@eligomes7075]

nice love the vids

[@lucifermorningstar4448]

Awesome video TJ! For me it's POWDER when it's there as the park is always available but pow isn't!

[@RobGams]

Those trees look super fun TJ...and powder for me. Getting ready for the season. 🤙🏼. Yew.

[@olavsiero7903]

TJ, I love your vid’s and learned a lot from watching them. What kind of binding setup do you ride on your Twinpig? Is your front and backangle 15?

[@narrowistheway77]

Next time you go to South America I recommend Ski Portillo about 3 hours from Santiago, only 450 people allowed to ride there per day and beautiful dry powder in July/August. Also check out Bariloche Argentina, great resorts 👍🏼

[@MrKRidin]

Love the work of both of you guys, I've done the Cerro Colorado myself this weekend and it was awesome (ice had no grip at all and many riders went downhill like a rocket just trying to traverse it xD), just love the pow and I don't do park at all. I think freeriding is my thing. Cheers from Chile, can't wait to have some more vids and have you back over here.

[@nizam_mr]

If POW is fresh and dry, i go POW. Park is a backup plan if the snow is shitty for the day. That being said, i didnt really have a great POW run in NZ this season. The snow is less this years compared to last year :( . Out of my 8days trip to NZ(Coronet and Remarks), my last day at Remarks were the lucky one to have thick fresh POW. Theres a demo booth on that POW day, so i managed to try some K2 2020 volume shift boards (CoolBean, Simply pleasure, party platter)

[@3000ptr]

Any comments on the new party platter? I was thinking to switch my k2 eighty seven to the platter lol

[@stevros48]

Heya TJ how do you feel about the Ride Twin Pig ? better than the warpig ?

[@Jimmy99]

Corralco is my favorite ski resort here in Chile, It has everything!

[@mitchelljarvis2944]

Yooo!! That Volcom sweater you got is so rad!! I love volcom !

[@skahww1036]

Should I get the Twinpig in 154, 156W or 157? I am 195cm high (6‘4), weight around 77kg (170 lbs) and my feet are 45 (11 US). I would mainly use it for All-Mountain

[@adrianchatelaine4857]

Come to the okanogan yo..ill show you some good spots hiking little involved lol but worth it..and some highway spots too

[@xpelcapecod]

ha.. love the nod to Ryan Knapton. I can't wait for winter! 🤘

[@mitchelljarvis2944]

What are your thoughts for brining a small bit of wax to help make the rail slide better? I always seem to get caught on sticky features lol

[@james7967]

most times speed will fix that problem but if its a summer riding day and the rails seem to dry up a bit try and wash them down with some snow. it will take all the dirt and grime off the rail and wont mess up and possible hurt the guy who was on the lift when you were waxing

[@joshbarton5446]

I've always wondered the same thing being a skateboarder, but I've always been too scared to try it cause I didn't want to ruin any features and make them sticky so I've never tried it. But I do know that if you tried it with snowboard/ski wax it would not help it would make it sticky. But skate wax on the other hand, might work, cause that's what it's made to do.

[@cheesemonster7834]

Awesome video and great tips about the diamond/gummy stone. Park all day for me

[@steffanoswald7917]

I’d probably go straight up POW for that kind of trip. I’m going through some legal issues right now. It’s great to see some soul riding. Keeps my mind at ease

[@joseboardtista68]

🔥🔥 can the season start already? 😩

[@ellstackeradventures]

Yaaaaa

[@willb.6859]

Could you say again what those tools were and maybe where I could find them? From the Midwest so ice is super common!

[@RiceManCA]

Gummy stone and diamond stone. You can find them on amazon they are used to deburr your edges and help make them smooth

[@tylerfranger537]

Nothin' Better than that fresh POW BABYYYYYYY!

[@wennekampfamily4172]

Hey dude would you recommend buying the twinpig or the capita outer space living as an all mountain board

[@Rhineson]

Do gummy stones help to keep an edge or do they dull it out?

[@nickbroyles6584]

Jesse Duran dull them out. Not as sharp so you don’t catch an edge when doing a boardslide on a rail

[@jasonsong86]

Your video makes me happy.

[@zacmason]

love your work brooo hopefully catch you in Aus 2019

[@ellstackeradventures]

:)

[@FiscoDiaz]

hey man, untill what date are you in corralco? Ill be there in 2 weeks!

[@Dbobber]

I'm looking to get a 2019 twinpig. Think I should get a W if I wear size 11? I'm 6'4 160lbs :) thanks !

[@XXhouchXX]

Im 6'2 and 250. I don't use wide boards but Im all park

[@Dbobber]

@@XXhouchXX so you have this board?

[@XXhouchXX]

No I just don't like wide boards feels like a sheet of plywood, but that's personal opinion. Go to you resort, they will normally have a try before you buy day and you can see what you like

[@Dbobber]

@@XXhouchXX I already have W Slash board lol I'm not a beginner. but it still is not wide enough sometimes for deep carves. I'm looking for TJ input since he's ridden the board.I don't have a true twin board.

[@Dbobber]

size 11 boot just doesn't work on most boards that aren't wide

[@mikeoclimberMTB]

Side slipping all over the world!

[@chimphargis432]

[@kritsananathan7465]

[@ellstackeradventures]

[@snowecstatic7056]

Powder is King!

[@CarleyPrice-s5d]

[@hamishtims3650]

I'll take Japow powder laps over the park any day!

[@tombolox]

[@MrMuypop]

Pow.

[@fabianhertzberg554]

[@AilisonCarvalho]

[@justarandomstranger6467]

[@joshuamuller9705]

[@josephauler6165]

[@SaveFatherNature]

[@charlesli177]

T.J 你们如果今年雪季再不来中国vlog，就太不够意思啦。。。

[@TheIBROWman]

what's the trick at @2:06 called?

[@lukewilliams5996]

cacabeans switch method

[@lukewilliams5996]

*fakie sorry

[@Sheeeeeeeen]

I saw that side slip 😉

[@joshbarton5446]

Park or powder? The answer is both. Couldn't choose just one

[@radpandaxd5512]

Park 100%

[@sergiubirau]

Powder all the way

[@AlexanderGeorgiev-Marck]

Powder always

[@Vondestylez]

Pow wins when’s it’s fresh and deep

[@ellstackeradventures]

Yesssss

[@JRec-ql5fc]

Powder all the way bro.

[@snowskat3]

Park is priority for now because taking slams and progressing tricks won’t be easy in the 50’s. Then the pow will be waiting.

[@jakeoswald8017]

Factual

[@Craig-rk8dp]

POWDER any day.

[@olegkomlov]

I would rather do powder

[@kadan_gustafson6609]

powder is 100% better than any park. Wait, what if the park was covered in powder!

[@AnonymousBoarder]

First! I hope?

[@AnonymousBoarder]

Park or powder? I think powder in almost all circumstances, but.... As taco girl says, ¿por que no los dos?

[@BoardArchive]

got it!
