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

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.

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.
>>259693yh done
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
