Shreddit Stomp Pad

GiveBlood88 · 4 months

I dont understand why anyone wouldnt have a stomp pad, you can get clear ones if you dont like how it would cover up a part of your board, I had a clear maple leaf for years until I found this wicked Airblaster Air Pill thats black and white. But if you dont have one dont you slip when you need to skate off the chair? I know you can jam your foot against your binding but why make it harder than it needs to be?

Why so much hate towards stomp pads? I actually really like having one. They're just helpful getting around on cat tracks sometimes, and in my experience they can look pretty cool and make your board unique. Just my two cents.

For the people disliking stomp pads, there's always these Aluminium Studs. Never tried them though.

Wow, I wasn't aware that so many people on here believed that it "isn't cool" to have a stomp pad and "you're only good if you don't use one". People who think like that are no better than 4th graders that just have to have those cool shoes because joey and jake both have them and they're popular.

IMO: 1) Its not too hard to go without a stomp pad. 2) They have no bearing on one's abilities as a snowboarder. 3) Some people just like them.

I use one because, frankly, I don't care enough to not use one. I only need to prove I'm good at snowboarding to myself, and I do it on the slopes, not getting on and off the lifts. Isn't that what snowboarding is all about anyway? Its not about showing everyone you're good, or buying all the designer gear. Its about pushing yourself and that feeling at the end of a long day of true happiness and freedom.

TL;DR: Don't worry about it, I was ranting.

I use stomp pads for "attempting" one-footed tricks, where you pull one foot out of the binding (wall plants, boneless, no-comply, etc.)

Again... I attempt lol.

I'd buy one. I don't like riding without a stomp pad. I'm not "core."

Too late to ask Santa for it, damn. I might make a shreddit sticker, put it on the board, and lay a clear pad over it.

I don't use a stomp pad anymore, but upvote for the username.

I like the idea of it, but I don't think I would rock one. I definitely need to get a shreddit sticker though.

raarky · 4 months

hmm, this could be a good idea.

Anyone able to give me some direction as to where I could start looking into getting this done?

No need. Most bindings now have anti stick snowguards and boots very rarely pickup enough snow to really impact it. As far as one footed turning off the lift... Just practice. Stomp pads are usually pretty weird. And are a bitch to take off

I used to not use a stomp pad because I liked to see the design on my board. As long as you know what you're doing I dont think it is too hard to steer around without one.

I ended up getting a stomp pad because I figured there is no reason not to have one. They are not really expensive. Sometimes I end up riding a fair distance before buckling in and it makes that small ride take much less effort. It isnt really convenient to stomp on my binding because the straps arent super flexible. Dont really mind that it takes up a small part between my feet, you can still see the whole rest of the board and it looks good. I never really pay attention to whether or not some random people on the hill are using them so I figure who else really cares.

Stomp Pads just look ugly do very little... pointless.

I wonder if the haters only ever ride chairlifts, because they are great to have when you're riding up a T-bar or poma lift IMO.
