@HanahsDax i've actually been there for a snowboarding trip once. i dream of going again. it was a perfect trip.

@HanahsDax omg, LOVE Telluride. great stuff -- i'm learning some things just by watching you. : )

@HanahsDax oh, thanks for the input. i was just speculating. not sure i'm actually going to try it. there are different heights/types of pads, so i thought it might be worth exploring.

i know that people have had some issues with the footpad sensors on their various OW models, and some have put various things like felt furniture dots on their pads which seems to help. as i was on the slopes this weekend it occurred to me that maybe a traditional snowboard stomp pad might also accomplish this, too -- what do you all think? could cutting a lower-profile stomp pad in half and putting in on each side of your sensors accomplish this while also giving you something that looks good? or do you think most stomp pads are too rough/tall/high profile for long-term comfort while riding?

@McFloaty really REALLY digging those maroon Vans!

@OneDan said in Complete shut down at 15% Battery?:

Don't forget, when it's colder you'll see significantly lower range.

this is the truth -- once it hit the 30s and 40s here, i noticed a significant drop in my battery life.

@HanahsDax i can ride switch well enough on my snowboard (still not super great at turns, but straights are fine), so i'm hoping that will help on the Pint. we shall see! i'll definitely wear pads and a helmet.

@HanahsDax wow - that looks fun. i'd be happy to be able to do a 180. but first i gotta learn to ride fakey, i guess. : )

@Mark-Vlogs doesn't it? and compared to the hydro-dipping thing, seems ridiculously easy. i just need $140, haha. or maybe i will search for a cheaper competitor.

what a coincidence -- i fell down a youtube hole yesterday watching videos trying to get ideas on ways to paint my fender (Hydrodipping, omg), but then i ran across this one and even though 2oz of the paint costs $140, i'm SUPER tempted...

@MDMason said in Battery issues:

It's out of warranty because it's been over a year since purchase.

side rant: as one of the Pint owners, i feel this policy is so unfair. i didn't receive my Pint until late July, but i ordered it in March, so technically it's going to be out of warranty in March, which sucks. it wasn't even turned on before July. kinda sucks.

@LidPhones said in Pint range 1500 miles in-battery life questions:

Colder temps will drop range for sure. @ 40F I see about 20% reduction on the Pint from 8 miles to 6...

yeah, i am nervous about riding very far in cold temps. i rode my Pint about 2 miles the other day in about 35-40F temps, and i lost about 15% of my battery life doing it. in the summer, the percentage i'd drop would be closer to 5-7% for the same route.

@LidPhones i have the sage Pint too, and my rails got beat up before i got my rail guards. i wish mine looked as good as yours do, too. i'm a bit jelly!

@LidPhones wow, so you didn't disassemble it at all? just carried it on in your bag? that's amazing. (and encouraging!)

@LidPhones i am behind a couple episodes, but what i've seen, i love.

@rmakaveli awesome. now you need one of these tiny yoda stickers to make it complete, haha

@speedracer as someone who lives in Reno, this is very interesting to hear. i don't go to the casinos much, but their reaction/response is interesting. the Legacy has the same owners as the Eldorado and Circus Circus, so i'm surprised if there was any difference in policy in those.

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.
