Definitely not!vandalism belongs on >>>/po/stencilFAQ first editionhttps://rentry.org/cantbailLast thread (next thread before 2026?)https://archived.moe/xs/thread/127374
>>219530Yup. Smaller wheels. Big wheels are for small penis legs.
>>219488Dude little bro got style no shit.
>>219510theyre both trinity. I kind of opted for two extremes in my setups. If i splurge again for a frame when it warms up I'll retire the 3x100 for a 4x90. I have large feet(12.5US, 47EU) and the wheel base on the 100s is 250mm. I should have just done the thing everyone tells you to do and start with a normal sized frame. oh well.
>>220044I originally just wanted to ride a bike, but my daughter took to roller skates faster, now for her next bday she wants a pair of inlines like me.
>>220044>>220045powerslide makes a 4x90 trinity frame called the combat rocker. it has a 290mm wheelbase which is way better for a size 12 and you can ride it flat or rockered. you could also try a 4x80 with a longer wheelbase, i think ground control makes a 270mm one, same base as a normal 4x90 setuphonestly i would highly recommend the 90mm combat rocker, its probably the best option for you. you can switch back to banana rocker on the same frame if you dont like riding flat, and not many frames come in that wheelbase. the closer the wheelbase is to your foot size the better. you can even use smaller wheels for a lower ride height but its not necessaryman i probably sound like a shill. i have a sister whos young enough to be my daughter and shes also taken a liking to inline skating, teaching is fun. not enough kids on skates these days
when will this faggot fight again? I like his style and he definitely beat Sean, but when is he gonna defend that title against the Bugman?

For example Conor Mcgregor got absolutely humiliated by Hafthor, but would a 6 foot trained fighter get brutally mogged by a 7 foot guy, or a 6'4" guy get brutally mogged by a 7'4" guy? Surely at some point there's diminishing returns due to the square cube law and also the kind of genetic disorders that cause Guiness Book of World Records level tall people to die early and be very frail. So what height is the cutoff? And what height is the ideal?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aaehn1aY8Ig

There was a two hour queue to climb past the bottleneck at K2 .What's the fuckin point of climbing mountains, even supposedly the most hardest one if there's gonna be lines full of tourists like a Disneyland ride?
idiots climbing short cold mountains instead of Mauna Kea, the worlds tallest mountain, easy to get to and in a nice climate
>>216683Bad luck
>>216683The climbing season is incredibly short to begin with and inclement weather can make it even shorter.If there's two or three teams on the mountain and the weather is nice, the expedition leaders will space out the summit assaults (which can take days) to avoid traffic.If there's an incoming storm, though, it's either go now or go home and try again next year, spending tens of thousands more dollars.To call them just a bunch of tourists is a little disingenuous. They're still experienced climbers. It's not like they're just on an easy hike while everyone around them is killing themselves.
>>216683>>217063not k2 BUT the Everest has become -in some tourism packs- indeed a vanity ride for rich old men. I think the Moon youtube dug up a website which was "sherpas will carry ALL your stuff + your oxygen, luxury rest tents, etc". Not everyone is like that but..the trend is a thing.>also calling the porters "sherpas" is cringe, sherpa is an ethnicity. Imagine calling the tennis ball boys "the caucasians"
>>217063they are experienced ishThis isn't the 90s anymore, the Everest Tourism shit came to K2
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
>>217965Nicely done.>>217679Yeah Boston area. I've jumped at Jumptown, SNE, CPI and Danielson.If you are living in Boston Proper, SNE up in Lebenon Maine would be your closest proper DZ. I'd stay away from Pepperall (Groupon that dumps out the tandems at 10,000 and then climbs to 13.5).Jumptown has a decent population of belly jumpers and a few swoopers (full sized swoop pond) and a proper RV campground.
I did 15 jumps from June to September. Now I'm waiting for April for season to reopen.At my 10th jump I wasn't scared of jumping anymore but now I'm watching videos and I know I will be terrified again in April
>>218576I'm living in downtown Boston. Anyway I could hitch a ride up to a DZ on a weekend?
How to make skydyving more extreme without making it as retarded as this?
>>219129remind me later when the season starts
What's the best belt/ranking system out there?I know some people think belts are useless but they have their pros from a business/teaching perspective for the feedback and the extra money lol Regardless, I am curious, of all I've seen BJJ's seems to be the one that makes the most sense
Bjj either needs one more belt or one lessAs it stands brown belt is kind of nebulous, it feels like it's just there to stall for time because there aren't any other objective hills to climb skills wise I liked this guy's channel but then he accidently cut his knuckle off with a band saw or some shithttps://youtu.be/IpfpMqn4O1M?si=zSfPR2zitRT91-EH

I wanna do no gi martial art but I'm ashamed of what other people will think of my self harm scars on my arms so what would be the right move here?

Holy shit, this thread has legs.
So i’m 19 and can’t stand my family and I feel i’m not respected at all. I am constantly mocked and treated like a child. What I would like to do is starting fighting back physically. I want to train like a combat sport but I’m not sure which. Any advice
I think you should get into combat sports to get rid of the mentality you have. Idk if you're still here but learn a combat sport to better yourself, sure being able to beat people up is a plus but don't get into it for the sole purpose of beating up family lol. I recommend muay thai or mma. Boxing is full of nogs and any mma/muay thai gym in the states will have you practicing kickboxing too. BJJ is probably more practical but I personally like being able to use my 8 limbs
then look me in the eye and tell me Karate is not gayhttps://youtu.be/bxIlmbXMjYU
>>217055I'm learning Uechi-Ryu and I cannot help but scoff thinking about their hand positions during striking. The one knuckle punch, the chop with your thumb knuckle, the tiger punch thing where you punch with your first set of joints. Fuck its so dumb Okinawa karate being mostly kung fu just makes it look bad
>>212057>not willing to twist dick to win a fightNGMI. Not even being sarcastic.
>>217055>find the most traditional place i canQuality is really hit or miss with traditional places. I've been to traditional places that were basically MMA in a gi, Goju-Ryu included. Been to 'MMA' gyms that were more TaeBo than anything else. I get what you're saying but...>1: Martial Arts is a spectrum of experiences and there is no 1 thing that makes the definition>2: Basing your opinion on a singular experience is retarded.It's especially retarded when you can hop online and easily find examples of trad dojos that work differently.
>>217055>i went to the most traditional gym and had the most traditional experience>why is karate a cultyou're retarded
>>217339Did they do that thing to you where they badly misrepresent other martial arts to make themselves look better? Because my guys did a little bit of that sometimes.>>217344I get your point, but it was one of the highest recommended dojos in my area. Supposedly the people were really good. I'm sure they know karate well, but I don't kid myself into thinking they were teaching me to practically defend myself in a reasonable timeframe.Also, that was my experience compared against many others I'd encountered. Not just me. I came, I saw, I decided I'd prefer something more serious. No need to get mad.>>217347>>why is karate a cultI never asked that. Also of course I'm going to go for the traditional one. If I wanted a more modern karate experience I'd be better off just finding a third-rate kickboxing gym.
How many of you practice,sword fighting/kendo ,knife fighting,archery
>>219546I also have a longsword so I'll see you on the field
>>218220No, I decided to learn martial arts by myself at home, from time to time I invite friends to come or I sign up to a gym to spar and pressure test some stuff, but it's mostly aimed at self defense and it's not like I am going to be walking around with a sword. But I do practice with knives and stuff that I might find laying around in the streets, for exemple staves, fabric and rocks, I also test a little bit with random objects like chairs and tables. I'm soon getting my gun pass to practice shooting too
>>219746Yes I often leave my table, chair, stave and knife on the side of the road just in case someone needs them
>>219755You probably assumed I'm American, bars are built everywhere here and they are usually half outdoor, I wasn't even thinking when I typed that part as I was referring to close quarters stuff, but realistically speaking where I live I could pick up a chair or table at almost every street corner lol
>>219766All the outdoors furniture in my city is chained down. America!

>>220344>DA Kinsley's compilationill do that. Thanks for the direction.There is just something really neat to me about the idea of a 1 handed sword and a proactive off hand. But ofc it stands to reason that it would be hard to be TOO proactive with the offhand normally when you got sharp things in play that like to bite into hands and arms. But something that integrating more unarmed strikes and grappling appeals to me. Harness fighting shows this with more protected limbs, but thats kind of a high buy in thing to do.Personally I did a little olympic foil and a few classes of military saber so I like that 1 handed sword side of things, and Ive done boxing and wrestling since I was young so id really like to see it integrate more (ofc things like smallsword have a little grappling, but thats more of a supplemental piece)
>>220345I also just like the 1600s.
How long should a longsword be for a 6ft/182cm man? Looking at some historical examples, the blades are around 90-95cm and 118-125cm+ overall, but I'm not sure if I should tack on a few cm because medievalfags were manlets.
>>220329Bit of an ACKCHUALLY response here I guess, but dragoons in this era are explicitly not cavalry. They became a type of cavalry later, but in the 17th century, *by definition* dragoons are infantrymen who use horses for mobility. They didn't use cavalrymen's equipment because they didn't expect to get into combat on horseback. (Plus, part of the reason for raising dragoons was that it was a lot cheaper than cavalry. The horses could be less good and didn't need to be trained to withstand combat, and the men only needed to be equipped as musketeers.)
/out/ fencers how are we doing?The sun came out today, felt kinda warm.
Do you guys know anything about WAKO K1/light contact tournament's?I was talking to my muay thai coach about competing and he said that's one option but I'm probably good enough to just do some development day fights (muay thai rules but with all padding).From what I can gather is "light" is meant to be hard enough to drop you if you get hit clean but not hard enough to prevent you from sparring the next day. It's kickboxing so no knees, elbows, clinch or catching kicks.
I fight K1 light contact and I'll kick you in the nuts
Not this specific one but these types of tournaments seem to be exploding in popularity lately. I think people have noticed the CTE problems and are trying to get ahead of them
>>215757>MUH CTEif you want glory and real fights you put your health on the line. That's how it isIf you want patty cake tag youre it! You might as well go and just do something else
