Re: Do you wear glasses

Would brown polarized lenses take away that bright sheen effect I sometimes get through my grey polarized lenses? It primarily appears on the surface of the water and the best way I can describe it is a hologram effect. I build my own eyeglasses (licensed optician) Daytime at work progressive lenses...

Re: Board question

You need to read the posts again. I've said nothing about flex being relative to adding height to a jump. You're not paying attention to the details. You don't understand kinetic energy. The part below where you say you "have no facts"...is where you should have stopped. This is basic physics. This ...

Re: Board question

You're saying I'm being arrogant? If you don't understand kinetic energy then it's a bit of a challenge to help you understand. KM, you're very arrogant for someone who obviously knows much less than you think you do. One stating the limits of his certainty and knowledge is not to be confused with l...

Re: Board question

You mad bro? Don't hate just because the discussion moves to physics. There's nothin' complex about it. If you don't understand...then you don't understand. I was assuming you knew I wasn't talking about a limp noodle board which would have no stored energy. The point was another poster said stiffer...

Re: Board question

The part below where you say you "have no facts"...is where you should have stopped. This is basic physics. This isn't an "opinion" discussion. It's physics 101. Just research kinetic energy. Energy of motion . If you want to debate the optimal level of flex in a board to provide the optimal amount ...

Re: Board question

I was assuming you knew I wasn't talking about a limp noodle board which would have no stored energy. The point was another poster said stiffer boards pop better than more flexible boards which is untrue. I've ridden stiff boards which have almost zero flexibility compared to others and the pop is a...

Re: Board question

Stiff boards do not pop better than boards that flex. The point of a flexible board is to transfer the build up of kinetic energy from edging to the tail of the board which flexes and then releases that stored energy as you release the edge. A stiff board that does not flex transfers no additional k...

Re: Board question

Everyone has their preferences in boards based on what they are looking for. I like maximum amount of flex which lends to better pop and smoother landings. Nobile 50Fifty, Nobile 2HD and the Cabrinha Custom come to mind for these two attributes I like. Had a Mako for a little while but like you said...

Re: POV Video - Deathlooping Kite Drags Rider Into A Rock Je

Anyone have any idea how his center lines ended up wrapped around his bar? Looks like it occurred after a fall where he got slack in his lines and then picked the bar up with the center lines wrapped over the right side of the bar. This has never happened to me so I'm curious how the hell it happened.

Re: Epic Infinity & Bullshit Light Wind Claims

Laughingman let me spell it out for you son cause you obviously don't get it. I'm pushing your buttons. I'm in your head doing jumping jacks just like I did with Chumpy...then Supa Dick Head..and I'm happy to add you to the band wagon dude. Dance son..dance! An opinion is subjective.
