Hello everybody . So like a 6 months ago my old "friend" begged me to lent my dh mtb to his friend, and I told it would be a good idea to strengthen our friendship. with some hesitation I lent it to them the next day. Shortly after 2 days they returned everything was fine, and than they begged me to lent them bike again because his friends bike was broken, and we decided to store it at my basement. Than 1,2 days after they took that broken bike out of basement and sold it. And then begged to lent my dh Bike again for 4 days, because "I don't need I'm not riding that much" well yes I was preparing for exams. I said like ok but not for more days, my parents didn't knew that I lent it. Than passed like 2,3 weeks of me literally begging them to return it, also my "old friend" was my classmate so I was questioning him every day, and he replied : it's not my problem you lent bike to him not to me. I can write even more in details what happend but it would be long if anyone interested in. After 3 weeks of me begging them they returned me it, transmission destroyed, and every bearing was with rusty water. As an excuse for what they did, they said that I abandoned my friend when we were 13 years old in the forest, and it was telling his friend who wasn't even at the moment it happend, basically imagine the start of small local forest near city where many people hanging out, and we left him in close to exit area waiting for him like literally a wide trail that goes only in one way, as result he walked out with bike only with some mud stains on shirt. And that was an excuse, ok but then they told that they found buyer for my cycle, but they will be selling it without me without my supervision because they told everybody that it's their cycle. I declined it and then they threatened me that they won't give back my tools that I lent them earlier. At this point I told my parents about it, and I got my tools back, and it's not the end of the story. It is too long.
>>246766yea, dont lend people anything. i had to go around to my neighbours to get my paintbrush back that they never used after 3 months,
>>246766well you learned who your friends really are.As a proper bike autist I never let people borrow anything that I want back in the end.And never to anyone who is black, Indian, or has any kind of YN behavior
>>246766Register your bike on bikeindex and with the local police. If someone "borrows" your bike and won't give it back, tell the police it's stolen and you know who stole it. And never lend those people anything again, ever.
We need a new MTB thread. The last ones archived.

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.

Most overrated Skateboarder of all time. All this dude ever did was ollie, no comply, boneless, and caveman boardslides. He couldn't grind for shit, couldn't manual for shit. All his parts suck ass. How he was ever considered like a great legend I will never know.
>>246324basically every 80s pro besides the Bones Big Three (Hawk, Mullen, Caballero) and Hosoi would qualify as underground.
>>244717>ollie, no comply, boneless, and caveman boardslideslet me guess, you need more?
>>246324how on earth could anyone call tom penny or guy mariano underrated.pretty much every transworld issue in the late 90s and early 2000s would fellate one of those two somewhere in the issue. penny especially was looked at as a total legend by the early 2000s
>>244825i actually give him a pass on the early powell videos, because of how they were filmed and what they were trying to present. however, his part in label kills is downright embarrassing as a professional skateboarder.
>>259570nobody born after about 1995 knows who either of those guys are. they fell off the face of the earth around Y2K
After 2+ years of back and forth with like 5 different doctors, I was finally able to convince one last month to send me for an MRI with contrast which show my wrist is completely fucked. There’s a lot wrong, but the biggest things are that I have a full thickness tear of my scapholunate (the surgeon literally said that it’s “gone”) and a partial tear in my TFCC. I need total reconstruction of the scapholunate and the jury is still out for how significant the tear in the TFCC is which will determine the surgical procedure they use for it. I know my wrist is never going to be the same, but has anyone else dealt with something like this before? I’d love to hear others’ experiences. Thanks!

The lengths you can go through to avoid spending money can become an Olympian effort.
>>259288>Hit the gym around midnight as usuall>the only bus that drops me off near my place gets cancelled that night as well as the next one an hour later>know for a fact the cab would run me around 50 bucks to where im going plus the usuall ill take the long way by the cabbie>walk home for 2,5h straight in 4°celsius weatherI had muscle soreness for 3 days straight, fuck beinf broke. Worst part of it all is that all the extra effort does not go towards anything usefull or desirable such as say a crackhead physique, poor mans gorilla strength or some solid bum endurance

what martial art should i do after taekwondo? i'm currently abt to be a black belt in ITF taekwondo and i noticed that it kinda sucks due to the lack of handwork.ive been thinking of exploring either judo (since im pretty big) or eskrima (for grappling techniques and knifeplay). in general im looking for a style that is more hands-focused to go with the footwork of taekwondo
>>247891Will you become an amazing all around fighter who can threaten competent fighters? Probably notCan you kick a crackhead in the chest and make him rethink his decision? Probably yesNot everyone has to be super optimal MMA guy
>>247891Since you have kicks boxing or kick boxing. Escrima seems cool but hard to find a good gym.
>>247891Combat Sambo if you can find, you can make Combat TKD! https://youtube.com/shorts/B4LIsuuFR6w
boxing or any grappling martial art. boxing because taekwondo, no matter the type, has shitty punching technique and defense (check https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pn98RdwPw48 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nz-kU1X0Q2I, which are boxers beating taekwondoins from the ITF). grappling martial arts because you only know striking and MAYBE some takedowns (if your school actually teached you them), since you said you're big then any will do, though judo would be my main recommendation
Why not just boxing? TKD strikes suck, you want something hands focused..

WHY THE FUCK DONT THEY MAKE 7.5 DECKS ANYMORE

40+ anons. What martial arts do you train? When did you start? Do you train/lift outside of martial arts? I'm looking to get back into judo/boxing but i'm an old fat piece of shit right now. Any suggestions for training smart as an old guy?
>>244209THANKS FOR THE MILK, MARK>>243996Judo will teach you how to fall. That's why I would place it before boxing, that's not to say that you shouldn't do boxing.
>>244482>I'm fat>>>/fit/76077351>>>/fit//fat/>>244561>I should probably lose some weight >>>/fit/76077351>>>/fit//fat/>thx anon, i might look it up. i'm trying to not overload myself with info because that's an endless road to go down.If you're already dealing with training injuries I might suggest either pirating or buying a digital copy and doing a Ctrl+f search for recommendations around that specific injury (it doesn't have everything but it has some of the common ones). I used my digital copy as a reference before buying a physical copy to read outright. Pic related are some excerpts I was discussing with a friend who was struggling to bench with a recurring shoulder injury.>>244578>Judo will teach you how to fall. That's why I would place it before boxingVery solid suggestion. It sounds like OP used to do judo so he should already know how to drill ukemi. Adding this to his daily routine could do a lot towards injury prevention.
>>243996dont roll or spar with someone you wouldnt do acid with
>>244561>5x5 Strongliftslifting weights is not martial arts. MA is for fighting, the training helps with strength and conditioning. As you get older heavy weights are not your friend. Moderate to light lifting and cardio is best. The best cardio is some combo of fighting practice because the older you get the more likely you are to need it, its just statistics. If you need it its always unexpected - gas station, coming out of a store, getting into your car. Carry a knife and spray. Its always better to be prepared instead of being a victim.
Bump
How fucked am IPosted this on another board before but this one seems better, my apolocheese
do you have a background in anything? the regional MMA scene is pretty hit or miss, whereas people have been boxing since childhood (actual sport). If you can train 2-3 martial arts a week without injuring yourself (probably just BJJ, Kickboxing) then it's probably achievable. Check what national tournaments there are.
>>257390you'll probably lose to some gen alpha kid either way though
>>257270Mma somehow is worse and better at the same time. Because of the variety you can get away with a lot of BS and defeat guys who would be able to beat you if it was a more focused fighting sport like kickboxing. Just rock-paper-scissors your way to the top

Why are BJJ channels such obnoxious faggots?
>>248375>>248898The guy is an asshole. He is sat in a bar watching an mma fight on TV and a guy also watching says something to him, which he ignores and writes 'wasn't even talking to this guy' on thr screen and then says how that guys opinion was stupid because he isn't a le trained fighter.He was just some guy enjoying the fight and wanted to talk, don't be a dick about it.
>>248375Why do bjj fags think they can fight unarmed? Unarmed fighters are all bottom tier. Seeing them argue about which unarmed martial art is better is like seeing pajeets argue about their caste.
they got bullied in school started jiujitsu got promoted to blue belt at a gracie barra and think they are some sort of humble fighting genius
>>250865Not panicking and not gassing are very relevant here though
>>250881Even in a non ideal scenario it does alot for a scuffle if you have confidence in the situationWatch enough body cam footage and it's wild how unfamiliarity with the risks leads to unnecessary escalation and introduction of unnecessary risks
