Modern skateboarding fucking sucks. Everyone skates like a robot: same tricks, same style (both clothing and trick execution), everyone at the skateparks are way too serious and tryhard. Nobody carves or has any real style, just the same in-line tight truck 5 approved tricks tried endlessly in a row.How do we make skateboarding like 1988-1992 again? Bright day glo colors, giant ass fish boards with rails, tricks that are whatever the fuck you felt like doing that day and who fucking cares if you drag a hand or a toe as long as you surf out of it. People used to all have a sense of humor and goof around and improvise halfway through a trick, not stand around like soulless autistic robots and give up if the autism flip didn't land perfect in the sperg grind. And for the love of fuck, they listened to ROCK and METAL, not this horseshit faggot ass trap music rap bullshit.Skateboarding used to be rad as fuck and whatever gay shit it is today isn't worth being around. I don't see any tricks around today that weren't being done back then, it just had more pizzaz then.Like, watch this part and tell me you aren't 1000x more amped to skate than some bullshit dropped today: https://youtu.be/3c7XV-FC59k?si=RAAuO_Fu-BT8R2RF&t=21Fuck modern skateboarding, make skateboarding rad again.

>>194546The dumbass stuff you /pol/jeet street shitters come up with is the most laughable copium ever.
>>194218I find it interesting how incompetent the body catchers in Powerslap are compared to the slav tournaments. In Powerslap they just allow people to drop on the floor and bang their head.It's such a farce to do the bar minimum to appease the local atheltics commission. Dana clearly wants footage of people rolling around on the floor.

ITT: We take a non-extreme sport and change it to make it extreme.Marathon but you can sabotage your opponents any way you want. Weapons allowed. Basically the Road Rash game but on foot.Dodgeball with bocce.Polo but with rodeo horses.Water polo but the water is slightly acidic so your skin and eyes start to burn after a while and you can only get out (rotating with other team members) once you score.Any motor sport but without brakes.Soccer with bowling balls.Squash but the room is so narrow and you can get hit by the other player's racket.Comment too long.

for 5 years i’ve tried to learn the ollie, this summer…this summer will be the one i know it
>>195506knowing the steps to a trick isnt the same as learing how to do the steps
lmfao all these fuckers are lying to youyou have to have already jumped milliseconds before the pop occurs basically pretend its sf and ur sagat and ur regular so tiger knee happens with leading left knee>tiger knee (+kick)>pop happens behind you (your right foot taps the ground very rapidly using your ankle and calf)>you've already tiger knee'd so the leading foot is dragging up as the board comes into your foot *>lift your back mother fucking foot as soon as your ankle snaps, tuck that back knee into your shoulder as you tiger kneeboom city trashcans are your bitch*additional caveats include Comment too long.

>>194544>it's realWow. That's incredibly uncreative and lame. Though I haven't played an NXL event since 2018 so maybe that's par for the course at this point.>>195237Nice cocker. I've had a Trilogy Competition for a few years that I always use for rec play. I know it's not technically a real autococker but it shoots close enough to the real thing that I think it's a decent substitute.
>>193525Tfw no paint ball anime
>>142887nail on the head for me. I'm a competitive autist and the appeal of paintball to me was always scenario paintball more than tournament paintball (although I am sure I would love that if I got to try it). I was lucky to try paintball a few times through a family member and I was always in awe at the stories of big scenario games with james bond and stargate themes and such.I was a poor kid and all I ever wanted was a tipman 98 and a weekend away crawling through the woods under fire.Later on I met a few people that did airsoft and they were fat furries into the military larp stuff. The paintball military larp stuff always seemed a bit more self aware and rule of cool to me.I've never really thought about playing it as an adult, I am only guessing the paintballs alone are extortionate and that alone would price me out.
>>195847>continuedI once got to try a nice marker, it was really light and it had some retarded LED shit on the side like a CSGO gun. It had an extended trigger for both fingers but I couldn't fire it faster than the shitty and heavy tipman 98 rental markers for some reason.My dad also gave me a really nice pair of paintball pants as a birthday gift and then asked to borrow them and I never got them back.I once got shot in the knuckle and that's the only time it hurt. And once in grill of the mask and the ball exploded into my mouth which was really funny and I thought it was great fun. Tasted like dishsoap.Apart from that my only other experience with paintball was the demo for pic related.

Pros>nobody would die of dehydratation (so far it hasn't happened in the UFC though)>no fights would be called off because of too harsh dehydration (it has actually happened)>performance of fighters would be slightly betterCons:>more fighters might be unable to make weight and some fights might be called off because of itAlso, it may require changes in weightclasses. Current LHWs wouldn't be able to cut to LHW so they would need additional 225 lbs class to avoid fighting much bigger guys. Giants like Derrick Lewis wouldn't be able to make 265 so the limit in HW should be abolished or moved up. Same with current woman's featherweights who might need a 155 class.
>>188355People will always find a way to cheat. If fighters longevity was of concern the best solution would be to make more weight classes but that's not gonna happen
>>188355They should do the weight in the day of the fight, everything else is a bullshit
>>193774Dude, every competitor in every sport that I have EVER known, in either fighting or even in wrestling, makes weight with serious dehydration. On weight day, you can't do shit, you feel weak as fuck. You have no fucking clue what you're talking about.>>194604This. But they would pretty much have to completely redefine weight classes.
>>194608That's no one's problem but their own.
>>194608You're pathetic and you lack self control. It's extremely easy to meet weight without excuses and if you think professional fighters can't do that, you lack the brain of an adult.
>watching The Alpinist >movie about free solo climbing >introduces a bunch of famous free solo climbers at the beginning >ALL of them died climbing >the two climbers the movie is about died climbing this sport is ridiculous. EVERYONE who made a name for themselves in it fucking died due to climbing aside from Alex Honnold Why would anyone do this?
>>137491>climbers>erosion of egoHA>>137449Most climbers are silver spoon starbucks hipsters anon. The kind of people that are quick to jump on their high horse but love to larp as salt of the earth types. You know, yuppies.
>>144420She's a bag of redflags
>>155197IoM TT is not comparable. They are not a bunch of stoners downplaying the risks, talking about "flow states" and believing their own bullshit. They also have nearly an entire island on standby as volunteers and everyone involved is well aware their actions are dangerous and put themselves and others at risk of death.

>>189046>>189000Just because you are clever does not mean you are not susceptible to stupid behaviour. Humans are notoriously good at self-rationalizing. Climbing grades encapsulates that concept very well. Free-solo climbers regularly absolve themselves of stupid behaviour because they falsely believe the only cost of an accident is their life.

In other semi related news:RIP aikiweb
I understand that the jujutsu part of the jikishinkage ryu were lost due to disuse.Are their scrolls also lost? aren't kata names and descriptions in the surviving documentation?I say this because even if they are not the "traditional" kata, surely they can be recreated in some way using the theory and principles of the kenjutsu part. I don't think I'm the first to have this idea either.
>>195781>aren't kata names and descriptions in the surviving documentation?There might be, and there are surviving, related styles that still have stuff they may no longer practice There are some schools that have done what you suggest and are public about it. Either they used documents, or consulted with related styles, or both to bring back some lost section of their curriculum, but many practitioners feel that if something was not handed down person to person, then it is lost, and any reconstruction from records is suspect.

No rules except no weapons allowedWho is the strongest of all time?
>>194298Some promotions allow giants and some of hese giant like Bob Sapp and Hong Man Choi were quite popular but non of them was very successful in mma. The largest mma champ I can think of is Grigoriy Ponomarev who's 264-302 lbs.
>>194048Shuwen is more verifiable than most, purely because we know he was sought after, the People's Liberation Army hired his students for their security detail, and this was after the Boxer Rebellion humiliated the martial artist gangs/cults of China. Does it completely prove he was the greatest badass ever or something? No, but it does tell us the myth has some actual founding facts behind it.

would bin ladin have been a good fighter? dude was tall as fuck, long reach
>>194661>long reachyeah no kidding

So I've been trying to get the balls to attend a gym that does freestyle and Greco wrestling. It took a lot to go to it as I know it's the toughest sport, and I'm not "young". Twice now I have managed to gather up all my strength and start making my way to the gym, only for freak occurances (train literally going straight past the station, train being delayed for an hour) which left me unable to get there on timeI'm just wondering if any of you had the same sort of issues when you started training. Was the universe basically telling you to stay away but you persisted? Feel like im pushing my luck trying to go a third time lmaoThank you for reading
I take signs from God as they comeLike I have a few cars needing repairs laying around so my drive way is full and I have to park one on the street at night next to a hydrantBeen doing this for almost a year a this point and then 2 days ago a guy randomly comes to the front door and says "I see there's no plates on that jeep in the drive way, I'll give you $400" for itSo I sold it to him and now I can park in the drive way Then last night wouldn't you know it ther was something going on at the neighbors house and the fire department came and needed to use that hydrant which I had been blocking for months
>>195556Wow that's lucky. it's weird the universe didn't stop me from going to judo or BJJ even though I did not enjoy those and only went for three sessions yet wrestling it just seems to not even want to let me go once very weird. Maybe I'll get suplexed and dieded
That means you have to go now
>>195543where do you live that they actually teach wrestling to adults?
>>195671Not doxxing myself but near a major city, there are exactly 2 pure wrestling gyms (too far away for me) and 1 martial arts gym that does 2 wrestling classes a weekThere are MMA gyms located more frequently that do striking/bjj/wrestling but usually only one class a week and very expensive. It's rare here and I still have to travel close to an hour to reach my nearest oneAlso we don't have any school or college wrestling here.
Was training muay thai in class with my friend. Got my kick caught and he pulled. When I was hopping in my grounded foot, I landed funny, felt something in my knee like a pop and collapsed. No swelling at all, feels weird and tingly. Hurts when I attempt to walk on it. Doctor claims only meniscus tear but nurse told me the doctor half asses his job. Going to try to schedule an MRI.Do you guys thing its a ligament, and how bad is it to come back from those?
>>194787>>194854How's the myocarditis going buddy? I'm sure it's because of global warming and not your shot. Remember, for each booster you take, 10 palestinians die for the promise land
>>194862>for each booster you take, 10 palestinians die for the promise landHow many fake identities can I get away with before the nurse notices?
>>1948946,000,000
>>194721>Doctor claims only meniscus tear but nurse told me the doctor half asses his jobdid he at least do a lachman test?
>>195496Yes and my tibia is intact. No shifting. Just an update, I can walk but can't straighten my knee or twist.
