Do you wear a helmet when you are riding your bike? why or why not? i used to be heavy into road biking and going FAST in traffic to show off and get my adrenaline going so i always wore a helmet otherwise i felt extremely exposed, but now that im older i prefer to just cruise on the bike paths and take in the scenery and smell the fresh air, so i stopped wearing a helmet and just let the wind blow through my hair

My personal accident and I also would have died. I sustained serious body injuries but in no means was I a vegetable. After a year I recovered to 100%. Helmets are so critical it is not even funny. The head is fragile.

Nope. It's one of the reasons that I decided not to get a motorcycle. Just wanna ride around and feel the wind in my hair. Helmets and pads are uncomfortable/sweaty and shit gets hot here

I wear a helmet 75% of the time, but it sucks there are so many dorks in the biking community.

>>2860143 Hey Op, take the cardboard tube out of a a roll of toilet paper, shove the TP into a coffee can then pour in at least 90% alcohol. It will burn for hours, when the TP starts to get singed or the flame gets a bit low add more alcohol.

Are barefoot shoes really that goated? Im buying new shoes soon, and i just wanna know if its truly the way to go. Especially considering that there arent many barefoot hiking shoes, that are somewhat waterproof.

i really wanna get some barefoot shoes some time. i used to wear feyu kung fu shoes 10 years ago when there was barely a concept of barefoot shoes and they only cost 20/30 euros.

KEYSTONE WAS THE FIRST RESORT TO OPEN YESTERDAY AT 3PM!
Anonymous
>>2860786 If you're going through in-bounds gates, I'd say Strawberry fields was the most fun, good spaced trees you can bomb. Be careful of Waterfall gate, there's a huge ass waterfall in the middle that has killed people. G7 and G11 were the only fun parts of Annupuri and Niseko Village resorts.
In regards to the town of Hirafu/Niseko culturally it was a mix between Aussie bros and Vail richfags, didn't feel like Japan at all. The restaurants in Hirafu were pretty mid relative to price (the izakayas and sushi places required reservations) so I'd recommend saving money and just getting food from the Konbinis in Hirafu. I didn't make it to Kutchan for more "local" restaurants because the busses were unreliable shit; basically every rich hotel has private shuttles that run constantly but you'll be lucky to catch the one bus per hour that goes to Kutchan. The free shuttles busses ran about once every forty minutes but if you miss that you're better off walking back to your hostel. The hostel I stayed at at least had a morning shuttle that dropped you off at Grand Hirafu gondola by 8:10 am to get in line.

>>2860787 >Rusutsu Also crowded with long lines but is set up like a more traditional resort (versus Niseko where its four separate resorts operating on the same mountain). If you're going to Rusutsu after a big dump; you're going to want to get there early. I took a day shuttle from Hirafu Village that dropped me off at Rusutsu at 9:20, by then the gondola was already running. After finally getting over to Mt. Isola around 10, the main tree runs were almost all the way tracked out. You can still find some softer snow but by 11 it was definitely tracked out. Then I went over to the East Mountain area; its a beginner friendly part of the mountain above all of the hotels/base area, but nobody was riding the trees over there so it had more untracked runs into the afternoon. I didn't notice any lack of steepness besides the lower run-outs.
I didn't stay in Rusutsu overnight but if you do you'll probably get on the mountain faster in the morning, however if you have a car you can get there as early as you need to from the Niseko Village as its only about 40 minutes away.

>>2860788 >Kiroro Less crowded than Rusutsu and Niseko United; I took a reserved shuttle bus up from Otaru and it dropped me off early enough to get in line before the Gondola opened. Smaller resort but much less crowded outside of the main base area. They used to be super strict about tree run access, they would pull your pass if you didn't check in with ski patrol in the morning and show them your beacon, shovel and probe or if you ducked closed ropes. However when I got there they didn't care to see my avy equipment, they told me to download some app and check-in (I did but I wouldn't bother if I was going again), plenty of people were ducking the rope into the "closed" tree run off the summit and nothing happened to them. Here they have a distinction between tree runs and out of bounds, I didn't duck any out of bounds ropes but I believe the in-bounds ropes are just to keep the general population out of the trees. There were a lot of people accessing the backcountry from the summit of Asari peak; they were mostly ski tourers/splitboarders; if I had brought my touring gear and researched the backcountry terrain I would've definitely gone back there; it looked pretty good from the resort. As a whole its a very flat resort, flat at the lower runouts and Asari Panorama is marked as an intermediate on the trail map but it was completely flat all the way down. However if I was going again and could only ride one day it would be Kokusai; the people I talked to prefered it over Kiroro.
I stayed in Otaru, it's a small seaside port city that everyone raves about but the seafood restaurants in the main tourist area of downtown were quite overpriced (over 9000 yen for a kaisendon bowl). I got conveyor belt sushi for a fair price and it was pretty good. If I had more time I would've gone to the seafood restaurants in Sankaku market by the train station; they had kaisendon bowls for 4000 yen but all of the restaurants closed by 5 pm.

>>2860789 >Teine Most locals of any resort I rode in Hokkaido, it's only 45 minutes from downtown Sapporo (where I stayed) so it was semi-crowded when I rode it on a weekend day. They had the Winter Olympics in 1972 which is kind of cool; you get a good view of the Pacific Ocean and Sapporo on a clear day. I stuck entirely to the Highland Zone lapping the quad lift from the summit. The upper portion was definitely the steepest terrain I rode in Japan; if you go I would go through the backcountry gate at the summit between ski patrol and a cafe, hike 10 minutes to the top of the old ropeway lift and drop in riders left there. I lapped this all day because it wasn't crowded at all, was steep, had great powder and you can easily ride back in-bounds from the trees.
Sapporo was fun, saw the snow sculptures in Odori park, went to the beer museum and had an all you can eat Jingisukan dinner with unlimited alcohol for 90 minutes for 6000 yen. In general if you're getting around Hokkaido with your board bags and luggage, I recommend the bus system (Either Hokkaido Resort Liner or the Chuo express busses) over the train. I took the train from Kutchan to Otaru and it took just as long with no under-bus storage for luggage.

why does it seem like all you people want to go out and be “in le nature” but don’t give a single fuck about preserving ecosystems or native biodiversity? You feel entitled to go out and be in nature and treat it like your personal fucking playground, damaging the ecosystem and demanding roads and trails be paved through the wilderness so you can “heckin enjoy it”? And then go home and continue to fuel the 6th mass extinction with your destructive consumerist habits?
