>>247616Skate really hard so your body produces more heat.
Do you skate at night? If yes, what equipment do you use? If no, why?
Anyone from the UK? Is it allowed to use inline skates on the road? Pavement? Cycle paths?
>>247616>>247835I usually tried to avoid skating under 10C, 5 is kinda pushing itJust long jeans jnsteatof shorts, will try some thermo leggings and shorts maybe, and I wear a thicker winter biking jacket with the pockets at the back (for water etc) and another layer under like a t-shirt or so. I mainly do urban speed runs with little to no tricksFrom October or so onward I basically only use the wet setup with MPC storm surge wheels which are basically magic, even on wet roads it grips like it was dryWet leaves will still get you no matter what and are the real problem I don't skate so much at night aka after 16:00 (that's 4pm for freedom land) this time of the year but otherwise I wear a helmet with a cheap headlight tiewrapped to it, more so others can see me properly, and I have another red one in a semi-transparent back pocket, there's lots of options in that regardYou can also swap one of your wheels with one of those LED wheels on each foot, check that they're not overly slow due to the friction that makes the LED work

This is all you need to win.
Why isn't muay thai a big thing outside of ladyboyland if there are so many people who hate grappling and for some reason watch mma?
>>252236yeahI remember looking at some no stupid rules mma stuff online and then during the dagestan UFC arc the views multiplied like 100xAlmost as if the internet provided an alternative to "15 minutes in heaven with some dysgenic"
>>252035>Also nothing more westerner than karate am I rightBad example, as the West doesn't give a shit about karate; any martial art with kata (dance moves meant to help train muscle memory) is generally only taught to children, plus any martial art that talks about chi/ki/qi is openly mocked.>>252148>bruce lee>jet li>jackie chan>the shaolin myths>Steven SeagalI'm not sure you know what karate is, anon. BTW, during the 80s when Eastern martial arts became famous in the West, the one to grow the biggest was Judo. TKD and karate had to be westernized into kickboxing because the mysticism of it all was considered ridiculous.
>>217230Because usa already had boxing for a specialist style, that's not to say boxing is better than Muay thai, i like it far more than boxing but the audience was already captured by boxing so no other style can replace it just like in thai land no other style actually matters because they have Muay thai.Japan has a variety of styles but all are japanese and lets them pick their flavor of autism.Mma was able to grow in usa because the concept of a completely alien style facing eachother like boxing vs wrestling was unique and an entire new genre of autism that tickled the tribalism aspect of human nature.Humans like to create communities and like the feeling of belonging to one and other communities are enemies, this is human nature and its why team sports are so popular, it allows the viewers to feel as part of a community and fight others and prove the superiority of their own, mma allows this which no other specialist style allows.Mma fans that hate grappling hate it not because grappling itself is bad but because the hyperspecialization goes against the very nature of mma, nobody complains about grappling in mma when they are beating the shit out of eachother then scramble and try to rip eachother arms off or flatten their face on the ground, people complain when there's 20 minutes of ground control and minimal strikes or even submission attempts.It would be like if in muay thai someone goes for the clinch but never does anything with it, no knees, elbows or sweeps or if they spend most of the match snap kicking the leg while running away avoiding everything to win on points because the other guy didn't land anything.Muay thai can't be successful outside thailand because everyone else already have their sports established and it doesn't offer anything than the others don't.That said even in thailand its being slowly assimilated by kickboxing and mma.

>>255814Do you even skate?
Anybody gotten radical lately?
They tore down the diy
Any sport. Looking for old school stuff in particular.

anyone remember a mountain biking/downhill video from the 00's with a clip of someone speeding his dh bike to one of those "you are driving this fast" signs, pinkbike days? that and some old völkl freeski video from around the same time, might have to look around if i can find the dvd.

>>253869The South African grand prix death video is very extreme. A track marshall gets hit by an f1 car at full speed through a straight. The impact sends the man spinning so violently his body rips itself apart. All that was left of him was an unrecognizable lump of gore. The only way the officials could determine who was hit was by taking a roll call.
Most martial arts technique is useless in MMA or no rules fighting. Most wrestling grips, judo, bjj techniques go out the windowIt becomes 99% of the time the most simple boxing/kickboxing and the simplest takedowns and submissions
>>248213Lol, tell me you don't know how to fight and have never been in one without telling me OP. You OP like most men are a pussy and do not know how to fight, every body talks a big game, because you'll likely never have to prove it, but you're just speculating.The truth is technique is everything and people who train and spar do that repetition daily, I know where your liver is and when to dip and hit it, most people never felt a liver shot. Most people in a street fight don't know how to throw a proper kick and do not expect a stranger to be able to throw a roundhouse 6ft in the air, or a spinning back kick, and even less could defend it. You don't know how to slip, and if you start throwing how quickly you gas out, meanwhile I know both those things. See I'm prepared for a day that may never come, but if it does I'm ready. Meanwhile you probably don't even know how to put your weight behind a punch. Stay bitch made OP, but don't make excuses.
>>255124Whaoo! We got a badass over here!!
>>248213KOTS has proven that all those geeks who say "Oh i'd just go for your eyes immediately" were actually right all along
>>255360You still need dominant position to do that
>>255360It proved them wrong because of >>255392In KOTS you never guys eye-poking their way out of trouble. It's always one guy who's already beating the shit out of the other dude delivering the coup de grace.
European riders are arguably the more skilled of the two, riding on gnarlier tracks and outdoors only. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-BleZkNdEU&t=1527sYet, European pros themselves still watch AMA more growing up. We do nothing to make it more presentable. The tracks are diarrhea with some plastic poles to mark where to go.Why are we like this?
>European riders are arguably the more skilled of the twoNo. Your defending champion Jorge Prado came to the US and is getting 5-8.>European pros themselves still watch AMA more growing upBecause euroop is culturally irrelevant.>We do nothing to make it more presentableI agree most MXGP tracks are ugly and forgettable.>Why are we like this?Genetics.

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.

Robot Wars, but with no weight or robot number limit per team, the control holders stay inside the battle area, the thing has a meter long signal range or less, and if your machine loses you get a crowbar and are foced to fight the enemy robot or pay a 200k dollar fineYou can also pay for a gacha like bonus during the whole thing, like an early crowbar, more ammo, new armor/guns, etc. Audience betting heavily encouraged.Or bring back legal "Pokemon", but tag team.
Walking + ground Gymnastics through the hood. Males only. Amateur and underground not to ruin the point.You wear a pointy ghost costume and have to do a trick, land and salute once per 5 blocks. Winner makes it to the other side.

Here we discuss HMB, Buhurt, Harnisfechten, SCA Heavy, Armored MMA, and other categories of historically inspired armored sport fighting. We are a very welcoming community and there’s never enough of us, newcomers need not be shy.Share your experiences, discuss arms and armor, appreciate the athletes and smiths, and most of all HAVE FUN!
>>253448Bros how do I find sparring partners?
>>253610Buhurt team fights is where its atduels is someone that you might find interesting once to get into the sporttotally understand you looking at it from the outside and seeing it as something lame>Harnisfechten i dont know really anything about it >get a kit for it,make sure to reach out to the Buhurt team you wanna join and ask if they have armor you could borrow or to ask if they know anyone selling used shit
>>253607There’s actually a couple fairly well known teams in Australia. Look up Samuel Wride’s YouTube channel.>>253610Theres enough crossover that most of your armor will be useable for both with the exception of most buhurt helmets since they are ahistorical for safety purposes. There are some that would work for both though. You will need chainmail voiders, standard, and skirt/brayettw for harnischfechten though since they allow and encourage thrusting for the gaps in plate. >>253651Most if not all networking for this type of thing occurs over Facebook. Look up local teams or start one and see if you can get some bites. Just takes a couple dudes with soft kit to start a team, armor can come later.

>>253449>sheGo away, fawning faggot.
How fucked am IPosted this on another board before but this one seems better, my apolocheese
>>252538Good luck! It's not impossible or anything, just realize that you'll probably need to plan ahead for opening classes for income. KB pay is not great.
>>252539Thank you! And I heard that, I could also do boxing, but I love kickboxing much more. Did it a few years when I was 18, but stopped to focus on education etc., biggest mistake of my life lol because it got me nowhere except older. I also heard that connections are pretty important, but my old trainer is a friend of the father of my friend, and he knows all the guys in the country, even the ones who teach the police and stuff. But he is one greedy and slimy mfer, and from the events where I have been, it seems like 90% of promoters and gym trainers are like that, which is honestly one of the parts I look the least forward to, but that's life. Only thing I can do about it is start my own promotion one day and ensure its cool
>>252538Just train. If you're ready to fight, you'll know. If you aren't cut out for it, you'll know.
>>252552Sadly where I live is like a wasteland for boxing gyms, but I got some thing and enough space to train at home and my best friend is also the best friends of a few ex pro kickboxers, but they are all older now and work dayjobs and have families, so I can't depend on them too much, but they can gauge how ready I am at least and maybe work their connections a bit to hook me up with an organization, I heard lots of the organizations at beginner level are pretty cutthroat and get you nowhere
>>252538It really depends on your fight IQ and talent. The UFC institute literally studies the average decline of fighters and it's typically 34, that's when you slow down reflexes wise, or recovery wise. So that is 9 years which is a long career. The only catch is this brother If you believe in yourself don't hesitate and waste any more time.
Why should I do kendo?
>>251652>it's shocking that anyone takes his opinions seriously.You're seemingly more fixated on him than I am. I merely brought him up because he's an example of a guy who dispelled a myth. You implying that I worship everything he says is a bit of a strawman; do better.>>251652>Shad himself is creating myths about flails being useless when the actual research shows the opposite.He never said they were useless, anyone who's ever been to a high school physics class can understand how devastating a flail can be. He merely thinks they are not as common in the battlefield as the media would have you believe. The video I was referring to, however, was when he explained that every flail that has the weighted end as the same length as the handle is fake. Lo and behold, many museums started to check their collections with radiocarbon dating, SEM-EDX, or combustion analysis and realized that a bunch of flails were reproductions or forgeries made centuries after their original estimation.
>>251657>He merely thinks they are not as common in the battlefield as the media would have you believeIf anything, they're more common than people believe, since the popular opinion pendulum has shifted into people thinking they're solely fantasy weapons that didn't even really exist.>many museums started to check their collections with radiocarbon dating, SEM-EDX, or combustion analysis and realized that a bunch of flails were reproductions or forgeries made centuries after their original estimation.You vastly overrate Shad's influence if you think he was the driving force behind that.
>>247443Kendo would be a lot more fun to watch if they also hit the legs.Also watching videos of kenjutsu, the techniques they do used a lot more angles and binds, i know kendo focuses on a single smack and i like how fast they are when they let the shinai go (after a millennia of feeling out the opponent) but i feel like kendo could very easily incorporate more kenjutsu techniques and it would be fun to see with how fast they can get.
>>251658>If anything, they're more common than people believe, since the popular opinion pendulum has shifted into people thinking they're solely fantasy weapons that didn't even really exist.Fair enough, back when I talked to history dorks a decade ago, many people thought that every single knight had unique weapons like that. I wasn't aware of a shift in thinking and that now people think they didn't exist.>You vastly overrate Shad's influence if you think he was the driving force behind that.He used to be very popular back when he was making videos on castle architecture rather than the garbage movie reviews and fantasy weapon reviews he makes nowadays. He's currently unwatchable, but that wasn't always the case.
One of the scariest women I ever knew was this barely 5 foot Japanese granny who taught at our town and moved like fucking lightning. She could take at least 6-8 George Floyd big niggas if you gave her a nice thumping stick.

$300 lift tickets to stand in lines like this.

Want to participate in one of the most ultimate extreme sports? Come Skydive.Either do a tandem for ~S220 (Don't get video you will watch it once or twice and it costs $120+) or go through AFF and jump with your own gear every jump ($~3600 for the first 8 jumps or so) Most jumps are $60-70 after that if renting gear, or ~$30 if you have your own.Any questions? Ask away I'm an insutructor
>>249720also i paid 50euros for a video
>>249701around 100-150 jumps. You need to get used to flying in groups, breaking off, tracking etc and being heads up and altitude aware before you increase speed. Try some sit fly with someone who knows what they are doing (Don't do it alone, you can and WILL fly up jumprun without knowing you are moving) and see if you like it, then save up around 3-5k to buy tunnel time weekly and start learning to freefly there to get as good as possible in as short of a time as possible for the cheapest way possiblre.
>>241374>it can't prevent people from being dumbasses doing highly risky maneuversNot to be a downer but it seems to me that all skydiving fatalities are the result of jumping off of something
>>241374I mean, I've been there when people in their 50s and 60s have died from hard opening severing their aorta. I've also seen people get hit and killed in freefall.
Is Summerfest as fun as they hype it to be?
