Randy_QuenchA friend and I built a gun using their DIY plans a few years ago and it worked ok. How much did that run you? How efficient is it, are you getting decent results?
Here check this clip out(if it works). So far I'm loving it! Within twelve hours I can get a solid 6-8in in an area about 6'x8' plus more snow at lower depths in the surrounding areas.
New pow setup for $210 haha. RimJobber hooked me up with the 180 Gypsys and bought some Axial 3s from Evo for 80 bucks during a sale + they're pink so I couldnt pass it up
11/12 ON3P Wrenegade 191 on their second mount with broken px12 jib bindings, dimpled bases, and spraypainted stencils on the topsheet. They are 4 seasons old now on montana mountains and had only a single core shot that I had to repair. ON3P is fucking bomber. Cant wait to find a deal on bindings for these, anyone happen to have a px12 or similar heelpiece lying around?
Rafikiyou do know air prestos have been around longer than tubulars right
Really? Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure the tubulars were a 90s shoe and the prestos came out in the 2000s. Either way it has nothing to do with what I'm saying. I'm talking about the releases that are being pushed now and it's obvious that Nike is trying to push the prestos really hard as that shoe that everyone should want like they did with the Roshe a while back. Plain and simple though, they just aren't as cool looking as all of the tubular variations out right now.
FrostyAnd that the presto's relate more so to ultra boosts, and roshes to tubulars
Cause they look sort of similar? Not really. For one, Roshes are dead and haven't been cool to most people since 2012. They became so common and every design looks the same. Prestos are just a revival of an old shoe with no really new design elements. Ultraboosts were a completely new shoe and there are many different designs of them. If anything, lunarglides and ultraboosts share the same market. If Roshes were still relevant I'd give you the comparison between them and tubulars but they're so old and played out at this point that they've died. And the tubulars have so many different designs right now, most of which blow anything nike is making rn out of the water.

you are wrong. the tubular is based off of the 90's era of adidas running shoes which were pretty much a failure in comparison to nike, but they're not a remake of a shoe they made in the 90's

The way I see it, Nike is pushing the Prestos again because the ultra boosts are doing awesome. Same goes for adidas though. They saw how well the roshes were doing, so they started pushing their tubulars because of the aesthetic similarities. Again, just my opinion regarding the correlation of the shoes. I don't know enough about the history of this to say that I'm right or you're wrong. Either way, I can agree that roshes have always sucked massive hypebeast fuckboi cock, and adidas is once again on the come up.

I'm not really wrong, they definitely made the tubular before the presto ever came about. I'll give you the fact that they revamped the sole completely which made it into a much different shoe but it still has a similar feeling. I mean look:
90s:
Now:
Now, the newer ones are more of an ode to the older version but you can't refute that they did exist. But all of this is besides my point, that it doesn't really matter which came first. Currently, completely disregarding their pasts, the Nike prestos and Adidas Tubulars are competing pretty closely. To me the presto design is stale and looks like a dad shoe. Tubulars have so many different variations that look good, it's really just night and day between nike and adidas rn for sneakers. Adidas has been killing it lately is all I was trying to say. And have you seen the NMDs? Sheesh

I'll definitely agree that much of the tubular design draws from the sole of the roshe. I guess my issue with the presto is that it's gotten sooo hyped up recently and it is just not that cool of a shoe to me. Nothing is new or fresh, it just looks like something my middle school football coach would've worn. But yeah, i agree that the prestos are supposed to be the antithesis to the tubular but to me it's just such a piss poor match up when you look at how different and experimental each iteration of the tubulars is. They just seem like another shoe for the nikeheads to ogle over at and act like they're dope (cough cough huraches) even though no one really thinks so

I like the prestos over tubulars any day. The sole on the tubulars just looks odd and they never seem to get the colors right on them. The ultra boosts are dope but at $180 thats a lot for a pair of light running shoes.

Yeah I mean to each his own, if you like the prestos then go with then. But the tubulars have a ton of variations, it's pretty hard to say they never get the colors right. Also if you look around at all you can find ultra boosts for under a hundred pretty easily. They're just like nike lunars, they retail for a bit but are almost always on sale somewhere
Yeah man agreed. You should have seen the disgusting obnoxious stickers on it before... I'm going to sell them for some basic ones as soon as spring hits because its honestly embarrassing hahaha. Probably gonna be something like this:
