perfect place to post it. I bought the game but haven't played it yet, looks great and is only just over 1gb in size which is crazy. looking forward to what they add. hoping a lot of other anons get it and give feedback to the dev. we've desperately needed a good blading game for years now, everything else fizzled out or the ambition with realism and/or branding was too high (*cough cough* on a roll). this has already had a bunch of updates.

Does anyone skate Roces 5th elements boots? Thoughts on them? Thinking I want to mount these for my next aggressive quad skate.

>>271855
How will you mount quad trucks to that?

Basically you just remove the inline plate, drill holes, and attach using the proper hardware for your specific quad plate/boot.

I’m getting my plates and grind blocks from Brunny Hardcore, so my intention was to dropship the skates and let them get to work.
>Last 2 pics are by them.

I want know if a 243mm frame is stable enough for a 3x110mm setup.
Where I live there few gentle slopes and I'm spooked the 3x110mm short frames (232mm) since it looks too unstable.
Thanks in advance

There's nothing wrong with sparring hard and learning to fight from a mother figure who teaches you with tough love.

If she was a pro then absolutely; you'd be mad not to. Think about it:
>if you're both serious, she's going to strip away all the bullshit because she knows exactly how dangerous fighting is and doesn't want to put her own child in needless danger
>her experience will probably help her to speed up your training in certain areas
>if she reaches a point where she can't help you progress much further, she'll more than likely know at least half a dozen other coaches who are probably even better than she is at teaching you
Yeah, take full advantage.

my mom taught me how to throw a 1 2 because my dad only did street fighting and tackle football but my mom's dad did boxing growing up and taught all his kids to box.

I immediately punched my poor mom in the face at the age of 4.

Seeking help is different than talking about it publicly or using it as an excuse

I don't know if he's right or not. But it's hard to know if he's trying to be taken seriously or not, because he's basically a meme at this point. Everything he does is part of a carefully curated image to sell his fighting league to impressionable young men. It wouldn't surprise me if it had less to do with his legitimate views and more to do with trying to make money.

There are times where your life is so fucked you might need meds to you back in track, but for 99% of situations pic related is what you should do. Specially if you are man.

Women are great at using these moments of weakness to manipulate you. It doesn't matter if it's your daughter, wife, sister, mother, friend, girlfriend, they all will do it at some point because it's in their nature. Men in general might lose respect for you, unless you are really close.

A very close friend, brother, mentor or your father, depending on your relationship, are always the go to for these kinds of problems, but you gotta talk only when you have the right attitude. No one wants to hear you crying about bullshit, but they will be glad to help you solve your problem.

And if you feel like you have no one, find a neutral bystander. Go out and talk to random people, an old man in a distant the park or bar, or even better, it doesn't matter if you are religious or not, go to church and talk to them.

Therapy is mostly a scam, they want you back in it. Only trust them if it's a old man who is clearly not a faggot or jew. And only go to them if it's really your last hope.

BUT, most importantly: Mental issues are often just physical issues.
>urdur I have depression
Not, you are a fatfuck addicted to quick dopamine, go exercise and you are health, if the problem stays, then you can say you have mental issues. Faggot.

The point isnt what's best/most effective or what whoever wants to do, it's that with mma being the current meme, the martial arts/combat sports ecosystem shapes itself around it and its culture whether it's conscious or not, the biggest names are ufc fighters, people think about it, try to adapt to/incorporate it, they incorporate the american soft power/mindset around it, "niche" dojos or genuine/local clubs get rarer as they either find no one, die out with no heirs or convert to the new movement.
Martial arts have always been cultural and it's normal for a culture to evolve obviously, but I despise the current trend it's going for and I dislike how hard it's becoming to ignore
Iirc people said the same last century with karate going sporty, heirloom conflicts and export being bad, the west had its fad of traditionnal martial arts, I guess we're going back to it being exotic or misunderstoid

>>270956
why do you keep missing the point? of course you can train things besides "MMA" but this doesn't detract from "MMA" training being a super streamlined cookie cutter approach that attempts to do everything all at once because that's what actual MMA althletes do to get ahead in a highly demanding sport with their afforded time.

so if you're planning to train in things beyond "MMA" anyways why not replace the basic generalist mma training with something that better complements your other sport of choice, be it grappling, striking or whatever, especially since you're already taking the time away from that type of training by doing a separate different martial art instead.

if you're training separate disciplines you're also doing MMA, just in a different way and for a different ruleset than the specific "MMA" as a sport that's popular nowadays as a very streamlined form for that type of competition.

I got my working holiday visa first and then searched for jobs.

Honestly i've been studying Japanese for a few years so I would prefer a job with more chances to speak to Japanese people.

If you are eligible for a working holiday visa you and apply to a bunch of places you may find a job

Thoughts on the Tyrolia Protector+ bindings? Will they save my ACL?

I like watching off-ice videos because the girls like to show their feet.

I just went stars on ice recently, and while it was certainly a fun show, it was a bit disappointing. I knew going in it'd be a watered down version of what they normally do, but idk I was just expecting something that'd make me go holy shit. But largely speaking it just felt like a slightly more polished version of what I'd see the older girls at my rink doing. Obviously better, but not to the extent I feel like I'm seeing a hugely different level of skater.

It makes sense, but just a tad disappointing for my first real look at this level. Maybe I'll try to hit skate america or something one of these days.

>>257598
Glad someone is saying is with how astroturfed by bots this bitch is. It's beyond ridiculous the no calls on errors, points for mistakes, increasing score boost, usa hosting worlds to boost her up in rankings for a rigged win, the slow junior skating skills and choreo, the fucking golden hair and dress along with the "omg I'm just having fun teehee", the "I don't care about winning (because I know I will anyway), I chose my music I am independent (daddy still pays for everything but I'm totally doing this on my own teehee)", the media posts, the constant interviews, the awards, the fattening up, banning Russians (also cheaters but had some talented girls that never even got to be here), the desperate need for comrady propoganda for upcoming Israel funded wars, need for a ladies medal after 20 years of mediocrity, "omg she made skating popular again and she's so cool wow skating is not for pretty girls anymore it's for rich ugly "alt" girls now homoglobo shit, woke message forcing, hosting LA games need to prop her up, looking like winners as a FU to the world.

It's such fucking bullshit. She shouldn't haven't even gone, and shouldn't have been within the top 10 places even scored fairly. I'm so fucking tired. Every competition is just a fixed winner. You can bet money on this sport with how much it's fixed. It's insulting and a joke to everyone else.

Also the audacity to bitch and moan about a silver ice dance medal. You keeo cheating and acting like sore losers when you get out cheated by bigger money launderers.

Then they choke you out or gouge your eyes out

I advise against things like that along with biting because those are the fastest possible ways to charge someone's rage meter
It's in my opinion best practice to not deliberately give your enemy a hit of adrenaline and endorphins mid battle

>>273034
First this
>>273083
It will show them that you are no holds bared dirty and you will get your eyes gouged.

Second, pain compliance, which this is, is not all that effective if someone is hyped up on adrenaline. Which they will be if you are twisting their balls. control positions are better, and if you are going damage, something like an arm bar will do more debilitating physical damage.

It does not deal enough actual damage to disarm someone in an actual death battle, and it is extreme enough that you don't want to do it in a low stakes "You cut me in line" fight where you don't want to deal permanent damage (and them doing the same to you).

If you want to fight animals just enrol at a black college.

People say this when they ride full-weighted Indy trucks and their board somehow outweighs my setup with Tensors and Mini-Cubics on it

57-64+mm, no risers, lightweight trucks, wax under the wells, way more fun to ride.
Smaller wheels have gotta be wider to even it out I think, and a wide 54's low enough to fit low trucks for tricks and that.

I've got a pair of pre-owned wheels around 45mm now that are tolerable 'cause they're wide enough to keep SOME speed, and I got a 92 shaped board hung up in my garage. Could be a sick mix.

54mm and I skate them until it feels really slow, and that’s usually around 48mm.for a park setup, I like 58.obsessing about weight is for girls, no hollow anything , I learned to kickflip on a pig shape with 169s and ratbones and some weight actually helps me boost cause im tall and slim

>>247111
I ride 56mms and indy standards on a 8.6 board, but I still do a bunch of flip tricks. I don’t do double flips or dolphin flips or whatever the fuck, so the weight doesn’t bother me. I actually prefer the slow rotation, if my setup is too light the board just whips around wildly out of control.

big wheels aren't that hard to pop and flip as long as you get fairly slim shapes. radial/conical fulls, sure, they weigh a lot because they are very wide. I like shit like 56-58mm slimmer wheels though. especially if you pair them with hollow trucks. they even out the weight pretty well. hell, sometimes I feel like I can ollie higher with big wheels and riser pads.

Just poking a little fun at you boogey boy!

Went to a spot near me today, soft waves, took my 6'4 thruster because my knee is sensitive and I didn't want to duckdive a bigger board. Very windy so a bigger board could make me stall, but waves like these show your skills: being able to generate speed, stay on the wave, outrace the sections. It was a good sesh, meaning I am pleased with my surfing today.

Boogiebro, I am only joking, ok? You keep this thread alive and you are a bro.

I'm tired of being bullied by surfers

No not really I just am focusing on work and the surf is pretty shit in central California this week so i haven't got any updates.

I agree with you that surfing skill is truly shown in shitty waves. It's not hard to look good when surfing good waves.

boogiebro you can drop in on me any time party wave buddy i wont run you over i was just joking about calling you a dickdragger or sponger

desu bro its cause im jealous my cock isnt big enough to use as a single fin keep stoking

>>273085
Speaking of which, today I had a morning sesh of about 40 minutes at a fairly radical sandbar, managed to get ONE (1) wave where I tried to get under the lip, got chandeliered and that was it before the groms from hell showed up.
Went to another spot an hour later and had good waves. Tried to get under the hood there AS WELL, and got tumbled. But I did get an overhead wave and it seems like I had forgotten to surf; I mean I did top down surfing but I suspect I must have looked like a newborn deer, although I am proud of myself for remembering to transfer my weight to my front foot. I tried pumping consciously, but that doesn't work when you have a wall that is taller than you, instead the fins would scratch. At some point the lip caught up with my board during a (backside) turn and I found myself horizontally over the watet heeee-yew, I thought I was going to fall but I didn't. Apparently I am not used to doing what seems to me is the appropriate way to snap and shred.

Not amazing, sure. But after six months, you would expect to have at least practiced hitting a golf ball. Maybe played one or two friendly games with people who, while not taking it seriously, are at least being somewhat competitive against you.

What are the best masks to get? Assume no budget limitations. I've been going with a friend who has a spare marker a few times and I want to figure out exactly how I want to play before I pick a marker, but I want a good mask regardless and the rental ones are BAD.
What are the best options? i5? EVS? Proflex? CRBN? Some kind of WARQ Simmunition setup? Most of the references I can find are either old enough to not have some options or factor price into the rankings.
