What rechargeable battery does the Burton audex cargo jacket use?
This was bothering me, too! So I decided to take apart the battery that's in the jacket - risky because I only have one and didn't want to ruin it!
The battery has the code SNN5766A written on it which, as far as I can tell is also known as the BT50.
I have the down jacket that has the controller on the left forearm, speakers in the collar and bluetooth facility.
I hope that this helps someone.

You can somewhat forget to snowboard over the summer since you aren't able to since there's no snow. But a good way to keep your skills for the most part is to try skateboarding if you haven't yet. It's close to snowboarding and gives you something closely related to do other than it's not on snow.

What is a 180 called in the sport snow boarding?
its just called a 180 but there's frontside and backside rotations. if you come off your heels its backside if you rotate off your toes its frontside. usually its called frontside or backside 1's
What angle do yous set your snowboard bindings?
I have been teaching snowboarding for years and I get asked this all the time.
There are different styles of snowboarding.
If you ride a true twin board then you can set you binding up at a equal angle. I have my freestyle board set at 22 degrees on the front and -18 degrees on the back foot. I like less angel on the back foot.
If you ride a all mountain board then I would set up the board with less angle on back foot then the front. I have my free ride board set at 18 degrees on the fount foot and -14 on the back.
Then there are the alpine boards. I do not have a alpine board but most alpine riders have a forward front foot and forward back foot set up.
There are many other things that you may want to think of when setting up your snowboarding bindings angles. The most important thing is comfort. You want to set up your board so that it is easy for you to use. For many instructors like my self we are always playing with are angels and trying to find what works best for us.
Another thing is toe and heal drag. If you have bigger feet then you will probably want to buy a wide or mid-wide board. Even so with larger sized boots you may still have drag. Adding more angle to you bindings will create more room for your feet on the board leaving you with less drag.
I hope this will help you guys get out on the hill. Take a lesson and don't forget to tip your instructor.
