Roller skate thread.Mostly Inline & Quads, Hockey & Derby welcome, Soaps & Heelies too if they're chill. Ice skates? Who knows.Discuss rollerskating tricks, gear, hobbies, complaining about the cost of new wheels and anything else relating to rolling around and it's culture. Cool roller skating /mu/sic is welcome, but talk about other shit too, don't just post music links with nothin else.

>>203744fair enough. i'm not sure enough people would be interested in such a set up to justify it existing. you could try using a rockered set up on a longer aggressive frame, I guess.
Any boot recommendations for a first timer that is obese?
>>203884I see a lot of fat chicks on impalas. If you're using quads stick to metal plates as opposed to nylon.
>>203615Two things: Purposeful practice (e.g. drill left-foot t-stops like 20 times as the first thing you do when you put skates on), and just time spent on skates.If you don't drill, you'll never learn how to do it; and without time on skates, you'll never learn to do it without thinking.>>202513kino

thank you very much
Just finished rereading Teppu and All-Rounder Meguru after remembering a storytime on /a/ 2(?) years ago where some Brazilian dude got me into martial arts. If you browse this board, thank you you bastard, soon I'll be participating in my first competition.Anyway, I'm looking for more stuff like this, I already read Ippo btw. Also, movies and other media are also cool
>>189476Others have already said it but Baki, the Anime and the Manga are both good
>>196301Yeah Mou Ippon is good. It doesn't have flashy moves and secret techniques but does a great job at showing what judo looks like for most people.
>>197134The only problem with Mou Ippon is that english language translations are dead.It did get an anime though.
There are a bunch of sumo and judo series untranslated
>>189485Sakuraba. (you don’t know who that is but the rest of us do) got into professional fighting because he read the old manga Tiger Mask when he was a kid. Ipso facto, manga demolished the gracie dynasty
Looking to start Judo pretty soon, but I have a major concern - not worried about bodily injuries as I know that sort of thing is expected in full contact martial arts. But how common are head/brain injuries, even if they are light? I’m talking concussions or any significant bumps to the head.Anyone have any experience of this, or know how common head injuries are in Judo?t. Physicist, need my brain for work
>>193707Med student here, this one sounds retarded and unplausible.>>199684This 100%, kek.>>193650BJJ is not the way to go since cumulative joint/muscle/etc damage is a huge risk. BJJ people of all levels get injured all the time, Judo people not so much. >>193647There are a million reasons your brain could be permanently/progressivly fucked. It's almost hilarious just how many ways there is. Genetics play a huge part, so if you're out of luck you might as well enjoy yourself. But to summarize, Judo won't get you fucking punch drunk lmfao, because that's what you actually fear.
>>203348what's implausible about trauma to arteries causing a stroke? that's not some controversial take
>>203348>Med student hereThe primary author of that paper is a reasonably well-published neurosurgeon. 80% of med students are good at cramming for tests in school and are a lazy liability to the public after graduation. If you're going to try to credentialfag try to do it in a way that isn't a self-own.
>>203349>>203354Upon further analysis I conclude you fags are correct and I retract myself.>lazy liability to the public after graduation. Beats the other option. Plus, I'll be slaving away for a long decade, enough to learn.
>>193647Yeah judoka are way more prone to head injuries than BJJ fagsI did judo for only a year and our coach who is a brown belt had given two concussions in his judo career, all from accidental head on collisions, like he was executing a throw and he accidentally headbutt his partner. And that coach has a head like a bowling ball, super hard, no joke. You can also knock yourself out if you fall incorrectly which will probably be the first thing you learn in your judo class is how to breakfall. It essentially comes down to having the reflex of tucking your chin whenever you’re about to be thrown. Like anything, there are risks, but under proper conditions those risks can be negligible. Judo is super fun and I encourage anyone to do it. It will really make you a better grappler.
I injured my wrist playing rugby back in May. After spending the last month and a half trying to figure out what was wrong (nearly all of which was spent in some sort of brace or splint), I finally got word on Friday that I have a torn scapholunate ligament that’s gonna need surgery to fix. The surgery is scheduled for 22 July. After the surgery, I’ll be in a splint for 2 weeks, followed by a hard fiberglass cast for 8 more weeks. I’m pretty bummed and have no idea what I should do with my time this summer. Any suggestions? I’d also appreciate any suggestions for dealing with a cast during the summer. Thanks.
>>203362go hiking.And the smelly cast is mainly caused by bacteria, so try to kill them, use hand sanitizer or high % alcohol.
>>203362You've come to the right website. Many of us are lifelong experts at sitting inside on our computers all summer, and we can recommend a range of exciting activities such as:>Watching every single episode of a popular and long-running anime, like One Piece or Pretty Cure>Doing horrid things to figurines in jars>Interfering with the American elections by trolling people on both sides>Suicide>Arguing in bad faith about topics you have no sincere interest in>Cyberbullying and harassment>Amassing a large collection of porn for your niche fetish
>>203823I think that since I’m getting surgery, stuff like hand sanitizer is supposed to be avoided. Nothing wet is supposed to get under the cast which is especially unfortunate since I live in Florida. Does anyone have any advice for adapting to other parts of life with only one hand? Like when I get surgery my whole hand is gonna be useless for at least a month, likely longer.
>>203919you'll manage and adapt fast. Like some anon said - build your intellect. Read books, learn stuff etc.And go hiking and quit whining.
>>203362Leg day every other day, cardio and use the other arm as much as you can. ALSO perfect excuse to stop fapping.
Lmao if I can deadlift 500lb I can just pick you up and slam you on the fucking ground, all you're little bjj and wrestling bullshit doesn't mean jack shit XD
>>197583Ironic that you use a photo of Tom Hardy because the dude trains BJJ
>>197583Barbells don't bite you.
>>202148Someone's never wacked their shin on a competition bar.
>>197596further proof that mma is scum

Thinking about getting into skateboarding. Is this a good starter board on a budget?
>>203599my job is changing your mums car battery
If 5 below's skates are anything to go by, these are literally trash that could potentially hurt anyone that isn't a literal toddler. I'm pretty sure you can get a lightly above Walmart-tier board for cheap if you have a Sierra trading post nearbye or something.
lmao just fork out the 50$ for like a blind or enjoi complete on sale or whatever
>>203392buy one for each foot
Have you considered used items? Idk if there is market for stuff like that where you live, but getting full sized, used board might be better for practicing normal skating
If someone start graplling you can yoi just do this but with your teeths?
>>203832Biting is not really a good idea. You'll probably just end up losing your teeth. It's especially bad if they're wearing tough clothes
>>203832you'd have to be in the right position to do it. It's really hard to get your teeth in such a position. They're not just gonna let you grab their neck man. If you want to stop a grappler in an unarmed fight you have to be a grappler yourself, OR get super lucky with a strike.
>>204053Or have good takedown defence
I'm a 2nd dan black belt in Judo and brown belt in BJJ, recently my dojo closed down due to financial circumstances. I still want to practice and keep my skills sharp, could I hire escorts as my Uki's? I would put them under the pretense of wanting the girlfriend experience package but I'd just end up taking them to my home gym that has a tatami mat and tell them the deal. Would they find this weird? I wouldn't hit any seriously big throws, just things like osoto, koshi guruma, ura nage, and of course I'd teach them breakfalls. Thoughts?
>>203001https://tryst.link/escort/cutepetitemia
I've been trying to get my girl to work out with me for 10 years. I'd recommend you try the boyfriend experience.
Where do you live that it's easier to get an escort than to find a gym ?Even in my middle of the European woods I have like three cities within 90 km with dojos.
>>202946I don't know if I have any advice to really offer you, but if you have a brown belt in BJs, maybe you can offer some kind of quid pro quo, where you help them to improve their technique and they let you beat them up to improve their technique. t. 2 black belts in BJJ
>>202946HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHHAHAAHA PLEAAAAAASE for the love of GOD do this at least once, what could possibly be fucking funnier than that? On a serious note, like the other anons said, if you have your own mat at home you should contact some of your old bros from the previous gym to train with you. They're in the same predicament you're in and they'd be ecstatic to train with you. Black belts are rare man
Why the fuck do so many extreme sports faggots bring up guns in any regard with martial arts? “Muh gun”, I don’t need to train. Faggot if you get attacked by a martial artist with a gun you are an inferior being in every regard. Kys ngmi twink.
But guns are also martial arts
Not sure if this is supposed to go on /xs/ or /sp/, but what do you think of the sport? All I see on here is HEMA.I'm trying to get into it and I'm looking to pick up some gear. I probably want to fence Epee. Any recommendations? The club has gear, but a lot of it is gross and sometimes not working, especially for left handed stuff.
>>196347Kharkiv. They've still got their salesmen going around at the European competitions, and there's also a newer Ukrainian fencing manufacturer that's popped up around 2021 called Folo, they just so weapon components and wires right now.
>>115460Why does Olympic fencing take place on a linear strip instead of a circular arena? Is this a compromise for electric scoring or an older convention?
>>198638Older convention, evolved from Italian rapier fencing that theorized that controlling the center line was the safest and most efficient way to attack the opponent, continued on with smallsword fencing which became foil and subsequently epee. Saber too since foil fencing was often taught as a training exercise for saber since it taught really good point control.
>>198641Neat, thanks. Can you recommend any good books or other relevant sources?
Toughts on Classical Fencing?It's essentially like Olympic, and where it came from. Except the scoring rules give defense more priority over "reckless" offense and there is no right of way.

for 5 years i’ve tried to learn the ollie, this summer…this summer will be the one i know it
>>197121The foot sliding up the board more goes straight up and across slightly to keep contact. When this occurs you need to lift your back foot up so the tail has room to come up. The combination of these two actions work as a lever to balance out the board.Off the board, it is like hopping off your back and then lifting it to level your feet mid air.Ollies are easier stationary but I would recommend learning all tricks slightly rolling (unless this is your only way tompractice then go for it, better than nothing). Its almost like relearning the trick going from stationary to moving.Side note: I think learning a bunch of tricks stationary helped learn doing them fakie. My fakie flips are so much more consistent then kickflips.Also try keep your balance over your board and square. A bit more front foot orientated. Too often I see guys try Ollie's while being way too far back, commit to one and slip out and earn their first hipper.
Just do this.Also doing cavemans (cavemen?) and bonlessy shit is worth it. Gets you used to landing without eating shit.
>>194827What fucks them up is they don't realise they have to jump lol. They learn the tail pop and front foot pull but never actually leave the ground
>>198822I’m the anon you were replying to, and I actually got my first good ollies yesterday and it’s getting more fluid and consistent pretty fast. Jfc this board is slow, how is this thread still up lol?
>>194777I learned on year 6. Have had 2 foot ollies on lock for 6 years since. Everyone progresses differently, don't listen to people who tell you to quit. You go to the park you'll find 10 dudes giving you tips and encouragement. It's harder to be the guy that it's not natural. That it really does take 1,000 tries. But when you do you're gonna be so happy you did
Modern skateboarding fucking sucks. Everyone skates like a robot: same tricks, same style (both clothing and trick execution), everyone at the skateparks are way too serious and tryhard. Nobody carves or has any real style, just the same in-line tight truck 5 approved tricks tried endlessly in a row.How do we make skateboarding like 1988-1992 again? Bright day glo colors, giant ass fish boards with rails, tricks that are whatever the fuck you felt like doing that day and who fucking cares if you drag a hand or a toe as long as you surf out of it. People used to all have a sense of humor and goof around and improvise halfway through a trick, not stand around like soulless autistic robots and give up if the autism flip didn't land perfect in the sperg grind. And for the love of fuck, they listened to ROCK and METAL, not this horseshit faggot ass trap music rap bullshit.Skateboarding used to be rad as fuck and whatever gay shit it is today isn't worth being around. I don't see any tricks around today that weren't being done back then, it just had more pizzaz then.Like, watch this part and tell me you aren't 1000x more amped to skate than some bullshit dropped today: https://youtu.be/3c7XV-FC59k?si=RAAuO_Fu-BT8R2RF&t=21Fuck modern skateboarding, make skateboarding rad again.
>>200428I forgot>flooded indoor skatepark skimboardinglmao
>>186489Agree. I started making boards 6 years ago for this reason. Style is gone not only in skaters but in the boards. Mass produced in foriegn countries by robots for robots.
>>203651This being said. There are some new skaters that get me stoked. Vert is on it's way back. Those kids are nuts. Matau from Embassy rips. Skateboarding is what you make of it. New skaters don't annoy me as much as the skaters that harp on about having a "safe space". I think the skae scene needs that "skate and destroy" mentallity back. But bitching about how you wish it where the 90s scene again instead of building your scene, holding contests, and influencing it yourself seems kind of silly to me.
>>203653u like lukas miller? chris millers son. he's insane
Are there any YT channels similar to Braille from like 2018, and with less scientology? Since Aaron is now the leader of scientology in the San Francisco bay area, he's basically gave up everything to work for the cult.
