Emile Laurent should be soty and it's not even close

Emile Laurent skates like someone who has never seen a skate video or even seen another person skate but they've read books about skateboarding and skateboarding tricks.

>>216815
being good at skating will help you ride a snowboard if you've never done it before but with the exception of a board slide skating and snowboarding are not even close to the same thing.

>>216905
i agree with the first half but not the second, he skates like someone that's only ever seen skating irl

Emile Laurent is from The Shire

Why does my arch fucking BURN when snowboarding after a couple of runs?

Anyone got any tips? Used so many different boots/insoles and none seem to help.

i bet you heel strike in boots or super padded shoes all day.

junior ranking orange belt would be white-orange

>shoot a Diamond XT, a $400ish beginners bow with a 3-pin sight and a huge range of draw weight, 20lbs to 70

yeah dude and it could end up being the only bow you ever need.

>If I were to take the plunge and become a guy who owns two bows

i only own two recurves and plan on buying more at some point in the near or far future
target recurves so i can out sights on 'em


>What do you recommend I learn to shoot this winter?

any target recurve
just know that in recurve you're holding that poundage for the entire time

based you did it without even being told.
You're actually really intelligent especially for statting at 30 and getting 35lb limbs incase you needd to ot wanna go up.


>A big part of that is that my form is wrong, I'm using too much hand, not enough of my shoulder and back.

yes recurve is unforgiving form is everything
all the way down to your release can make or break even missing slightly

look up back tension
that's a good starting point
as well as being able to hold your bow at full draw with full energy(as in you arent tired from shooting etc) for at least 30 seconds to build strength

Don't buy a bow that stalls at 28" if you're a 6' tall guy.

There are modern TKD books that show photos and instructions on using the shin to block and check kicks. That's something pre-21st century TKD/TSD videos and books never addressed.

>>212377
>because of the above the waist only striking leading to a sidewards stance that muay thai absolutely annihilated.
Would you explain it further? I did TKD for like 6 years and now I'm transitioning to something more MMA like (for da streetz), but it's very hard to change my stance and I didn't know it was bad at all. I'd think it even leaves less of the body exposed to the opponent, considering distance management.

>>216770
>I'd think it even leaves less of the body exposed to the opponent, considering distance management.
That is correct. But it also makes you extra vulnerable to low kicks, which modern kickboxing loves to spam.

>>216770
Its not just a striking problem. If you're stuck in that stance, backwards movement is sort of your only choice for dealing with shots that aren't done from half a mile away. Or side stepping hip throws. Bad news when you get to the cage. Like any stance there's pros and cons, but being unable to get out of it is gonna be rough.

>>216770
TKD stance works fine when low kicks aren't allowed

TKD distance works fine in a field where you can keep at long range all day

But in the ring you get smeshed bratha

Probably not. Those kids are probably being chased for minor reasons (likely related to parkour) but even shooting a young adult running from a felony traffic stop after participating in a drive by shooting can trigger protests and get your police department shut down.

I think they're going the latter route, and hoping no one else calls them out on it. What's up FA-Uptown setters, please read this and change course before you put up a bunch of "V10" that are just v4s with tiny holds.
Also do more of those no-difficulty-posted routes, they're more fun that way, and the numberchasers all avoid them because they're obsessed over "MUH DIFFICULTIES"

I agree gym chains suck but man just climb at a non-chain gym. Would solve your problems. Are you too far from one? I used to drive 55 minutes back in the day to drive to my dream gym, even though I had a local one 15 minutes by my hometown.

Not all of the Philippines were controlled by Spain, and in the places that were controlled Spain had to ban the martial arts practices and do anything to mitigate the use of weapons such as cut the tips off farming blades and make Filipino men wear shear clothing during formal events to ensure no concealed weapons were present.

Someone that teaches Kobudo, but real Kobudo. Since the original and real purpose of Kobudo was adapting the techniques daily day situations, for example, your like Hiking and get assaulted in the mountains you can pick a stick a used properly thanks to the techniques of Bō, Hambō or Tambō, you're in the kitchen and you only can reach the knife the skills with the Tambō or Sai also work, you're doing gardening the Kama.
But this being said is WITH THE HUGE disclaimer that you're sensei is actually doing the work properly.

Kinda hard to defend yourself when they heavily restrict concealed carry and also make open carry illegal.

What did you consoooom on the recent deals. I got a set of this bad boys. Finally my bike will be silent, crankniggas pedals will finally be put down. The pins are long, with the washer they have the same length as my old ones at max length(5mm) and are thinner. If I remove them they'll almost be 7mm long. It'll be very painful to peel my skin off, especially when its freezing outside.
>>216826
>don't know how people do it
Alot of body movement. Push down and hop while scooping them. Good rubber(5.10 stealth) and good pedals help alot.
>felt borderline unrideable going down the same tech
Wide stance and be active with the pushing and scooping, dont just be a passenger like on clips. Like on jumping, you move or something to remain in control to prevent dead sailoring.

Seems like skillz were lost. Though I admit I don't know how street BMX riders on literal plastic sheets as pedals and sandals are able to hop 3ft easily. I can 1.5 ft (english) at most.(<1ft american)

>dont just be a passenger like on clips
That's the thing, it feels like I'm forced to be more reactive instead of proactive on flats. "Unrideable" was a bit hyperbolic, I still rode one of the jankiest double blacks I know of just fine but it felt sketchy and limiting. I think I'll just save em for jump days, 'proper technique' be damned.

What prompted me to try is getting a pair of ride concept vice shoes for $36, which have a vans-style waffle sole that I much prefer over the typical bubblewrap pattern that 510s and everything else have. Got a springdex, some rims, tires, brake pads. Backup float X that was literally cheaper than servicing the damper of my current one.
