i had forgotten this was even an official site board, haha. no, i don't think they read, check, or even think about this site. but that's ok -- i'm happy just being in touch with all y'all.

i don't think so. i see people posting here every day -- but i guess it depends on what you are expecting.

@tomas it blinks white, not yellow? how many times does it blink? the Pint manual has a blink code page, but they are all for either yellow or red -- but maybe the number of blinks it gives might help figure out what's going on.

@blkwalnutgrwr oh, i hadn't heard about these. i'll have to check it out. thank you!

[EDIT]: according to their website, they don't sell kits for the Pint yet. it's still "under evaluation." : \

so... has anyone waterproofed their Pint yet?

now that winter is seemingly here, i'm resigning myself to not riding when it's wet out, so i'm going to have significantly less time floating around. but it seems like from what @blkwalnutgrwr says, it's possible to ride in snow. i'm afraid of getting my Pint too wet, and that combined with salt just worries me. what do you all do to protect your boards?

of course lol! How much powder did you guys get over the holiday? We got about an inch in my neck of the woods! Sadly my ambition to one day snowboard down my driveway remains a pipe dream.

i heard that there was some powder up at our local place this morning, but sadly i will not get the opportunity to see what's there for myself until this coming weekend, if i'm lucky. i'm just excited the snow's falling -- it's so EARLY. normally i don't even hold out hope for hitting the slopes until after the new year.

What do all you guys who live in real winter weather do this time of year to keep your sanity?

i snowboard, of course! : D

...anyone ever accidentally hit a dog?

i was rolling along a sidewalk -- not very fast at all because sidewalks in the area i was in can be really uneven and treacherous -- and right as i was about to pass this blind corner by a building a little Yorkie came running out right in front of me, on a long leash. i sort of clipped her chest and startled her, and her owner went "HEY, HOOooo!"

i stopped immediately and got off to make sure she was ok, apologizing to her and her owner and getting down low so she could smell my hand and see if she was ok. The owner gave her a rub and said she was all right, that it just scared her, and i said, "It scared me, too!"

Jeez, i was surprised that a dog couldn't hear me coming! i am glad i wasn't barreling along -- she was so small i probably could've really hurt her. : (

AND, it's on sale until monday for HALF PRICE! i already have a fender, but for $49, i'm seriously tempted to get a second one.

@HanahsDax said in Charging Habits:

The V1 I bought a few months ago I’ve taken a different approach. I run it down to single digit percentage and then charge the following day until the charger pack light turns green. The V1 has never been on the charger overnight and has minimal short cycle charges.

this is basically what i'm doing, too, with my Pint. I'm avoiding minimal charges if i can, though. i'm curious to hear what you learn from trying this approach compared to your XR. keep us posted, please!

i find that now that it's getting to be winter i am riding less, so i ride it a couple miles at a time until i drain it as close to completely as i can, and then i let it charge up until the light on the charger is green.

fun! i like the captain morgan slide. way beyond my skillset, but fun to watch. i spent a half hour or so yesterday practicing curb drops, trying to get up my confidence... there's some nice curb cuts nearby all in a row, so i have been progressively trying to ride off slightly higher and higher both toe-side and heel-side. i haven't managed to do the full curb height yet, but i'll get there. it's a small curb, maybe 4" or maybe 5", not sure. need to measure it.

@Sponge315 ouch, that's quite a bruise! glad it's not worse -- how fast do you think you were going?

has anyone tried these, from CarbonSmith? it sounds like it would also help alleviate that weird/annoying sensor problem, too:

oh, i should post mine: i got a good pic (finally) this past weekend. i love Nevada in the fall.

@Franko I would think Redwood/Pacific/Skyline/Elevated modes on the Pint would be equivalent to Sequoia/Mission/Delirium/Elevated on the XR.

well, i have never ridden anything but the Pint, so i don't have any reference point for the modes on the other models. Redwood is the more controlled mode, very useful when learning; Pacific is more open and aggressive feeling, with much more maneuverability; Elevated raises the nose up for going up hills; and Skyline is the most aggressive and "no hand-holding" mode. if those correspond to Sequoia, Mission, Elevated, and Delerium for the other models, then yes.

so, sorry for the delay in posting an update, but i DID in fact get my C&R Pint Superow Backpack yesterday and i have to say, so far i'm very impressed with it. it's very well made, and it looks great. everything mentioned in the video i posted the other day is just as they say. and to answer @b0ardski's question, i actually think there IS a bit of padding along the part that runs along your back/spine. it's not the most comfortable thing i've ever worn on my back, but it's not bad and it's definitely better than nothing. i need to take some pix of it, i guess.... i hope to have time this weekend.

@HanahsDax said in Lost my streak :’(:

I ride in Delirium for 95% of the time but when draining battery to single digits I use Cruz on my XR.

hmm, interesting. i wonder what the equivalent is for the Pint? would this be Pacific (or Skyline) and Redwood?

@b0ardski i don't know yet. it looks like it will be delivered tomorrow (weds., 10/23). it's hard to tell from this video they put up yesterday, but i'm going to guess there's little, if any:

@ShreddieMcskate i'll see what i can do!
