Hey /xs/, absolute tourist here, do you guys ever discuss skiing or have a skiing general? I see another thread on cross country, but I'm thinking more alpine or freestyle. Bit early in October, but I'm looking forward to this season, hoping I'm well enough to go.
I tried cross country skiing for the first time yesterday and it absolutely kicked my ass. It was fun though so I'll be on the lookout for a cheap pair of skis on facebook marketplace or craigslist or something.
Irish guy here.I want to go skiing/snowboarding before the season is up, is there any good places nearby that would have good snow in April?
Went skiing last week for the first time in 20 something years with minimal experience before that. I didn't really know how it would go, but it went better than expected. I felt quite confident at the end of the day, although I stuck to the green (with some blue parts).Looking to buy some skis and boots now. I have a local "mountain" nearby (more like a big hill) with a lift and plastic thing for summer skiing, at least on one of two lanes.
bros I'm gonna kill myself this season sucked so bad
>>259043This season was absolute fucking dogshit. My local usually makes it to memorial day and we didn't even make it out of april this year. Some of the lower elevation places in the area didn't even make it to february.
Does /xs/ prefer step or strap on bindings? Do step ons work in deep powder?
>>223993How many glizzies do you suck in the lodge locker?
I'm having a shit time at the moment in Les Arcs, my boots are really fucking sore on my soles and calfs, I don't know if the board is even set up properly.It at the state where every slope I need to take a rest after.Also I'm on antibiotics, so maybe that's a reason.
>>259832Are your boots or bindings too tight? I kept getting foot cramps and loosened both a bit and I'm doing better now. Need to change the degree on my front binding though because I'm at 0 (have been so for the 20+ years I've been boarding) and now my front knee is starting to hurt bad when it bends as I go over bumps. My while right is ancient and falling apart piece by piece on the mountain.
>>259844I actually went down on the size and It helped a lot.As for the binding, I didn't get that sorted cause the French guy was like 'aye mmuh sorrea, aye cannuh helph yuh'
>>260142Made that French guy sound Japanese
/archery/ Thread #3 /archg/Let's keep this bad boy going!What's your style?What you shooting?What you hitting?Recs for bows?I bought a yumi, oh god, I'm a fucking moron, please help.What you wearing?
>>253694>it doesn't look traditional though?!?!It's a traditional recurve made from wood (and some fiberglass, though). Looks quite traditional to me.I don't like how the takedowns look, even the one made of wood. And especially hate the look of those metal bright color ones.
>>212688>What's your style?compound bow!>What you shooting?elite basin RTS with a scott quick shot, set to 40 pounds>What you hitting?I'm really new so my target is at 30 meters. I need to dial my sight in because right now I'm aiming for the bottom of my target to hit the centre>Recs for bows?idk>I bought a yumi, oh god, I'm a fucking moron, please help.I also considered a Yumi and they seem like they're actually junk>What you wearing?I normally wear a dress or a long sleeve with a skirt. I think my white dress looks cool when I put my quiver on around my waist. speaking of which apparently people want they quivers facing forward, but mine faces backwards so whatever.I'm really enjoying archery so far. and every time I go to the range it's totally empty so I get the whole place to myself. still building up my strength however.Comment too long.

what's a basic entry baby bow I can buy online? I'd prefer more of a normal regular bow that's based off my own strength rather than one of these hyper expensive newer crossbows. some basic bows on amazon are around $50, are those okay? i literally just want to get a good bow and fire a bunch of arrows and practice every day with something reliable
A thread to discuss Japanese weapon based martial arts and our own martial journey with like minded people, discussion of other Asian systems is welcomed too.>what is kendo?Kendo is a modern Japanese budō that uses shinai (bamboo sword) and armor for combat, in its modern purpose is a way to strengthen body and spirit and develop character.>is kendo a martial art?Kinda>what do I need to start kendo?A shirt and sweat pants your club will likely borrow you the rest when you start>what is iaido?Is a Japanese martial art, influenced by zen practices based on different kata (drills) and subdivided in different schools with solo drills based on drawing the sword from the scabbard to defend from an imaginary opponent.>what is kenjutsu?Comment too long.

>>255677Just use a spear
I hit my sensei too hard on men today and he was very disappointed
Are there any video series/playlists on youtube or anywhere else that teach iaido or kenjutsu principles and fundamentals from scratch, that aren't dumb 20 minute long "Here's 5 things to learn if you want to be a samurai!" videos? I want to know if there's a legitimate way to learn how to use a katana at home since nobody within a 3 hour drive of my home teaches it. it doesn't matter what school it is, I just want anything as long as it's not kendo.
>>259138You can't learn properly online and it is a waste of time to try. If you have Kendo that would be a far better entry point.
>>258984I almost know that feel I almost hit my sensei in men when we were just doing our kirikaeshi and instead of going the usual right I went left since my brain dropped the ball completely. I stopped right before it just seeing the look of my sensei just crumpled me into a tissue.

Where do you sit on the tradition vs sport debate?
both are fun and can coexistHistorical Fencing can be sportified and traditionalist sometimesKendo it's a sportified traditionI prefer gekkiken & HF desu

Perception action couplingIf you're not practicing in a live environment you're not actually learning anythingThere's an important distinction to be made about being aware of a thing and being able to do the thing
>>259715both is good :3t. 1-dan
>hard sparring>more than 4x a yearCouldn't be me!
>>240049>>240578Americans are pushing this narrative that literally every head impact, no matter how small, is damaging and causing concussion.
>>258718its just fact man riding a jetski once causes minor but permanent CTE
>>258721Sure dudeMaybe blinking too much? Somebody giving you a jumpscare?
All the uproar about boxing deaths is based on emotionalism rather than rational reasoning. People have crunched the numbers, and there have been less than 500 fatalities since the 1950's, and that's out of millions of bouts. A disproportionate numbers are also from before 1983, which is when they tightened up a lot of safety regulations. Since 2000 there's about 1-2 fatalities per year, on average. Being a pizza delivery driver is probably more dangerous than being a boxer. Two fighters dying on the same card is a complete freak statistical anomaly, and as unfortunate as it is, it's not really representative of anything.It doesn't even relate to sparring, anyway. Dying from subdermal hematoma because you got walloped for 12 rounds straight by a pro boxer is a completely different ball game than playing patty cake at 30% intensity at your local gym Muay Thai gym.Also if you want a real redpill, the clinical evidence we have for CTE even existing in the first place is very poor, let alone its prevalence.

I miss /asp/, bros...
Do skateboarders really hate scooters? I don't see why they would, scooters can be cool if done rightWhich one do yall prefer more?
>>259641a lot of the tricks do look the same to be fair. There seems to be a difference with park scootering and street scootering though. Street seems to get as close to skateboarding as it can, with just simple tricks and stuff, lots of grinds/slides, etc etc. Park scootering has the fuckin over the head spinny shit youll do mid air and personally, that seems so lame. Most of the hate towards scooters would prob go away if parents didnt dump their kids off at the skate park anyway
>>259641On an aesthetic level it looks stupid because of the fucking handlebars lmao. Riding a ramp or really doing anything with a scooter takes no skill, practice, and carries a drastically lower risk of injury. Every scooter kid would just skate if skating was easy but skating is not easy so that's why they don't do it.
>>259635It's the people who do it. Scooter kids are annoying and roll in packs of 10. A random kid scootering and respecting skate park etiquette is fine.
>>259635It looks silly and takes less skill than skating, blading, or BMX to get good at. I hated them when I was young. Now, I don't care as long as they stay out of the way.
>>259635nah it doesn't bother me because when it gets crowded i just have a stationary flatground sesh until it's not crowded anymore

Hi anons, I just watched the f1 movie from apple. Just wanted to ask, is the f1 really that hightech? Like I can‘t imagine all the stuff that these guys were using and it honestly suprised me.
>>88443This one makes me so sad. It was his third race. He was so happy when he finally got in f1 that he handed out pin badges with his helmet on it to supporters. He is buried with a small replica of his helmet and with the phrase "he lived for his dream".
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
>>248213>Most martial arts technique is useless in MMA or no rules fighting. Most wrestling grips, judo, bjj techniques go out the windowYeah, maybe for niggers, yeah.
>>251437the only reason to learn how to fight is to defend yourself. knowing what works practically in a street fight with no rules is paramount for yours survival. one punch in the head can kill you if youre not careful.
>>256013everything in that video was completely correct
>>248348what is this comment hahahaha
A lot of martial arts are useless in a real fight, a lot of martial arts become dangerous in a real fight.BJJ is bad in a real fight. When you're actively looking for an opportunity to be on the ground, you're going to get stabbed to death.Judo is extremely good in a real fight because it works on everything and it's not flowery or showy or anything.I went to a bar once, there was a guy that knew judo. I wasn't friends with him, but I knew him enough, we talked once. A guy was fucking with him outside, clearly drunk, but the guy that was fucking with him was bigger than he was and was acting big and threatening and shit. The big guy started throwing these big wild punches at judo guy's head, the judo guy did a takedown on him and the big guy instantly went into decerebrate rigidity. It was the most shocking thing I ever saw in my life. I don't know what happened to either of them.

What's up /xs/bros. I hope you've all been having a rad spring so far. I'm here to catch everyone up with how our divegrass team has been coming along. This past Autumn Cup was my first cup as manager. It was a very fun and retarded first run, but it was also a trainwreck in terms of results, as we lost the 3 games we had.Next weekend our team plays in the Spring Cup qualifiers. I swore to do much better this Spring Cup, so I've been working a lot on the tactics side. We've had a lot of help for our aesthetics from people outside of the team. We made a lot of changes, and a lot more changes are on the way. I know exactly what our stadium and ball will look like, but I was not able to make the time to make them. Those will be my priorities for the next cup.The schedule for the Spring Cup qualifiers next weekend is the followingApril 10 - vs /co/April 11 - vs /vst/April 12 - vs /lit/Please come support our team. I will do my best to get us out of these qualifiers and get into the proper Cup.I'd also like to remind everyone that we have a >dicksword for our team, and you're welcome to join. The invite link is on the contact info page on the rigged wiki.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>259174It's over...
Well, after a draw on Friday, a win yesterday, and a wild loss today, we won't be going to the Spring Cup. Thank you to every one that watched and supported this team. We'll be back this upcoming Autumn. I will be sure to have our stadium, ball, and other work that needs to be done, ready by Autumn. Keep on Earth Rocking.
>>259696Better luck next cup.
