I surf at the same beach as Medina. I’ve been surfing here since I was a child, and I’ve been coming to this place since I was two months old (not joking, btw). I know this board is slow asf, but I’ve noticed from surfing generals that there are a lot of people interested in surfing here. So if you have any questions about the sport or this magical place called Maresias, feel free to ask me anything.I’ll leave this thread open on my PC tab.
Are Brazilian surfers as annoying in Brazil as they are in other countries?
>>264753Not really. It depends a lot on the beach. In Arpoador, Rio de Janeiro, you have a lot of toxic mfs who will snake and get snaked all the time. There’s no order at all; it’s like four guys going for the same wave. The same applies to Guarujá, in São Paulo.In Maresias, though, you have crowded spots with around 40 people, and you rarely see any snaking or fighting. I’ve been surfing in Maresias for more than 10 years, and I’ve never seen a fight. I have been called out during my teenage years for taking too many waves at least 5 or 6 times (I’m a bigger-wave longboarder, so I tend to catch far more waves than shortboarders), but I’ve never been kicked out of the water or threatened with violence. Never been called out again, let shortboarder get their waves and always get good ones to
>>264753I would say that at least in Maresias, its pretty disciplined and you will most likely not meet many assholes
parkour/climbing fails threadanyone have some more of these plummets?
>>257790I don't have a good clean copy of the full video but the death of rooftopper Wu Yongning in 2017 was rough to watch. Rather than a quick slip and a fall the almost three minute video shows him struggling to climb back up a slicker-than-anticipated surface before his strength finally fails him and he plummets 62 stories to his death.
>>264601Oh yeah I remember jerking my cock RAW to that one my nigger, you really see him struggling and losing hope in multiple stages before he gives up and dies holy shit i got a precum spot on my pants just remembering that fucking shit
>>264609>I remember jerking my cock RAW to that one my nigger, you really see himfaggot
>>264601https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-M7ZzL9gd4This one?>>264609Damn you nutted in no time
>>264637>This one?Yeah. There's a longer video of the lead-up and in slightly less potato-quality. I've never bothered to track down the highest quality version.
Why are parkour athletes so woke?
Parkour is the French martial art of running away as quickly as possible
do we know if he was getting actual cp or just generating loli like a degenerate who needs therapy? the spectrum is pretty broad these days and I'd like to not immediately put someone to the stake when I'm still paying taxes to much worse offenders
>>261783Parkour as a cultural movement started out as an urban, international, and multi-racial phenomenon appealing mostly to young people. Trespassing (violating property rights) and running from authorities are often trivialized or celebrated. Freerunning, which can get more social media attention from normies, rejects orthodoxy as the interpretive dance version of traditional parkour. Any conservative or traditionalist traceur I've personally known has been a more old school A-to-B "le parcours" athlete with prepper (in the loosest sense of the term), military, or emergency service motivations rather than some urban art kid making freerunning videos.
Do you guys EVEN KNOW real martial arts???Pussies
Currently shopping for a dirt bike and have around 6k saved, 5'10 165 pounds, live in Arizona so I can find plenty of trails. Only riding experience I have is learning on a KX100 used for enduro and general trail fuckery and bought a crf250r before it blew up. Should have replaced the oil control rings as my buddy told me but live and learn. Both bikes are across the country so those are off the table.I can also fabricate custom parts such as racks, bash plates, crash guards so if any mods need to be made then so be it.I have learned clutch control and can hit small jumps but haven't learned to pop wheelies, whips, or any crazy shit. I can manage a 250 just fine but I am rusty as I haven't ridden in almost 2 years. I will mainly do trail riding with some occasional high speed riding. Here are my options:>Buddy who lives in SoCal 5 hours away is selling a 2018 FX350 with low engine hours for $5k since he can't ride anymore after a crash. My main concern is the rebuild costs and intervals.>Go on facebook marketplace and find a 250 in good shape with some money left over for mods, repairs and tools>buy a new klx230r from a dealership but risk getting raped with taxes and fees tacked onWhat do you guys think?
>>262624>>>/o/
>>262624Would not recommend kawasucky if you can afford to otherwise. They aren't bad per se, but they're cheap and it shows. What kind of trails are around you? I know arizona has mostly wide open stuff but parts can be lots of tight rocky areas, sparse forests etc. what would work best for you depends a lot on the trails you plan on riding. FX350, for instance, is probably an excellent choice unless you're doing really tight, slow single track>>262698/o/ doesn't know dirt bikes. /dbt/ pretends to know dirt bikes sometimes but few there actually ride them
>>262624First you need to figure out what you really want to do - trails, mx, or both. I would buy an inexpesnive two stroke like a 125 from an older guy who took care of it, can tell you everything about it, has aftermarket parts and is about your weight (so you do not have to immediately respring the suspension). Having a proper suspension set up for your weight and the type of riding you do is most important. Its amazing what you can do a bike you like and are comfortable with. Practice, practic, practice riding, set up little courses and practice standing up through corners, whoops breaking, accelerating. No need to push hard, just get the feel and slolwy work your way up and have fun. If you are riding trails in the desert its important to get familiar with the trails, ruts, rocks, roots, drop offs, so you do not hit the unexpected at speed. When I started riding desert we met a guy at the staging are and he ripped passed us. Turns out he rode the same large loops every weekend (long large loops with hill climbs, sand washes, flats, everything so it was a great variety), but because he knew the area so well he knew when he could go fast and when to really slow down - there were some dangerous obsticles that you could not see until you were righ on them, so go slow to learn the terrain. I suggest a two stoke because it is so muche easier to do a piston and rings for a quick 'top end' where as a 4stroke has all the valves and shims and piston and rings. Here is a great vid of a desert race, guy with camera is riding 2storke, racing against various 4 strokes. Great HD footage. He pulls the lead until a new challenger appears at 2:50. These guys ride the area and already know the terrain. YOu would be crazy to pull these speed never having ridden there before.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nKRdCes9F0
>>262624>crf250r before it blew upDefine 'blew up'. can it be fixed for a lot less than buying another new/used bike? you can guy a lot of engine parts for $2k (cases, transmission, piston, crank, bearings). If you already set the bike for you and you like it just fix it even if you have to buy a used engine that you need to fix. I am still riding my 06 CRF450R which I bought brand new, its still faster than I am, still pulls hard, and since Iost a lot of fat (like 40 pounds) the power/wieght ratio is increased.... :)
>>264228>/o/ doesn't know dirt bikes.those guys are fags and their shit is all retarded. Join us here to talk dirt bikes>>261937I used to race desert and motocross and I had 2 stroke (Service Honda CR500AF) and a number of 4 strokes. All Hondas. I know a bit about the showa forks and suspension set up.

~~Tokyo Climbing Edition~~>Where do I start?People typically start in the gym and branch off outdoors and find their niche, be it bouldering, trad, sport or a mixture of the above. Some never leave the gym at all. Ultimately it doesn't matter - just get started and enjoy yourself.>How fit do I have to be to start? Do I have to be able to do x amount of pull-ups?Being light, strong and flexible helps at the higher levels but climbing is open to almost anyone and is fairly intuitive to most. Even if your body is feeble and weak now, you will develop strength over time by virtue of just climbing. Climbing is a holistic sport and success often hinges upon many factors, not just strength and power, but having these qualities definitely helps when you breach into the higher grades.>What shoes do I buy?If you're starting out in the gym, don't worry too much: get some snug shoes without dead space that don't cause you lasting pain. Some people (such as the famed shoe designer Heinz Mariacher) recommend wearing soft shoes when you're starting out -- this makes sense since your footwork will probably suck and the increased feedback will pay dividends over time. You really don't need fancy expensive shoes when you're starting out, but certain shoe properties help send harder problems (e.g. stiff shoes for standing on tiny granite edges or soft shoes for sandstone/gritstone smears).Here are some useful resources for sizing:>https://sizesquirrel.com/>https://rockrun.com/blogs/the-flash-rock-run-blog/rock-climbing-shoe-sizing-guideComment too long.

>>272736>It just feels like these injuries come out of nowhere, like theres no defined moment, nor chronic build up.I'm skeptical. Injuries don't happen for no reason, and others have claimed that they come out of nowhere, only to reveal something retarded about their schedule. Once had this dude say to me>don't crimp dude, it's not worth it. Once, I climbed two days in a row on 3 hours of sleep, and my tendon popped on day 2 (6 hours climbing each day). See? Even though I was fully recovered, I still got injuredSo clearly something is fucked up. How do your fingers feel following a climbing day? Do they feel sensitive? Glassy even? I think what you need is to develop the mind-body awareness to know when you're good to climb hard. Not every day needs to be a limit session, and hell not every day needs to leave you leaving the gym.Track your progress because it's going to help you identify patterns with your training. But I guarantee you, the idea that it's happening for "no reason" is retarded.Also look into hangboarding as an injury prevention mechanism. Once per week is more than enough. Finally, do the Emil no-hang protocol (on Youtube and everywhere). That shit prevents tweaks and strengthens fingers like crazy. I only get finger tweaks when I stop doing that twice daily.>Could be as simple as addressing my shit sleep schedule and diet,Sleep can absolutely fuck over your training. Doesn't mean you need to stop climbing but if you sleep less, don't go as hard, have a light day. One of the best pieces of advice someone ever told me from a V12 climber was- Don't go into the gym just to pump out. Leave some in the tank. no point in constantly bringing yourself to failure every single training session. Stop the session when performance drops. This advice helped me increase performance while leaving me filled with energy. Some days I'll limit project for an hour, and leave the moment progression stops.
>>272736I was in a similar situation as you. Climbing 3 days a week. But my sleep was good and my diet was mostly good. I was still getting injured "out of nowhere" . What this anon >>272781 said applies too. I was still overdoing it even when climbing only 3 days a week. But of course, if you consistently don't sleep enough and eat like shit, that is more important to address.
>>259529I'm racist but I am down with blacks at my local bouldering gym. I figure if they're cool enough to climb they're cool enough for me. Bonus points if they're outdoor climbers too.
this site is so dead now man
>>272781Yeah that's probably true, on days when i don't limit boulder grade wise I do find myself going for easy problems but high volume to the point where I'm pretty worn out.As for the hang boarding thing, i already picked up a mild routine, mainly just for warming up my fingers. Typically just consists of me hanging on a 10mm edge pulling at probably like 40% strength with toes still on the ground. Definitely feel that it's helped my fingers.And yeah my schedule has just been fucked having me get home late and wake up early so eating decent and sleeping has just been hard. Thanks for the replies guys. Wrist did go from feeling fucked to like 70% there so I'm still just taking it slow with climbing.

>>263374Lmao, all the montante sources we have are about either dueling (Marozzo's spadone) or crowd control in a street situation when bodyguarding (Godinho's montante).Sure, the *weapon* was used on the battlefield (to some extent, not exactly clear how much), but the art associated with it is 100% not about battlefield use.

>boughted an E&C again >could have gotten a specna arms with a less gay quick spring change and better internals for less money insteadidk what it is about E&C but their guns just feel nicer to hold in ways i can't quantifyin my defense i wanted a classic colt m4 with the accurate trades and i've experienced the specna arms ones being kinda wonky or poorly finished externally
>>272844E&C are like CYMA, they're not great, but you don't feel like you've been cheated considering how much you paid, and they just werk.
>>272844I recently got an E&C XM177E2 since it was the most accurate
>>272936i'd put them ahead of CYMA in the ways that matter to me at least. i haven't tried a modern CYMA Platinum AR15 though. i just don't want to buy any of them because they're tacticool DD MK18 MLOK slop. maybe i'll get their SCAR H on black friday thoughusually what i want is a classic gun with authentic details, and i don't want to tear my hair over stupid design, bad build quality or fitment. E&C has so far been really great about that stuff so far. it's a small thing but i love that they model the gas tubes/pistons, etc. even when you can barely see them like here >>272969 also yea i know they just clone VFC guns and that's why they are good externally, but VFC guns kinda blow for various reasons and don't feel like good value at allthis thread is about to die to bump limit so go here when it does>>>261952
>>272983oh nvm it does seem like CYMA also models the gas tube. at least on some models. i just recall tearing open a Specna MK18 and finding no gas tube inside the handguard (what a disappointment) whereas i think E&C models them regardless if you can see them or not.my only real experience with newer CYMAs was a CYMA Platinum MP5K seemed like a toy despite having a heavy pot metal upper. like the externals were very clearly made to accommodate airshit and thus made no real sense. maybe it's just because it was copied off the marui design.
