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

yea that era of paintball was the peak.
mags and cockers, actual athleticism and big paint.
i had a shit ton of folks outraged when i suggested a "Classic Mech League" with no space mechs allowed.
-revvys only
-single trigger
-mags and cockers only
-no r/t, no hair trigger, limit lbs/trigger pull

the emek and mech trigger kit electro guys were very butthurt that i would come up with a mech game they weren't allowed to hide behind bps with. "you should allow emeks at least" "these rules
make no sense, theres no difference between modern mechs and the older stuff" "no one will show up to a game like that, its unsponsorable"
definitely gave me more incentive to try and actually put something together.

First time posting here, been getting more into paintball as my interest shifts from shooting friends in the woods near our houses to actual field play.

Recently fixed up an old spyder fenix (new seals, capacitor I pulled out of a junk pc lol, and some grease) and a WGP autococker. What do you use for lubricants? I got a tube of grease from Evike and it feels a bit thick to use on the striker bolt seal. It's a paste at soom temp so i figure it'd slow the bolt down along its travel and cause the marker to feed slowly.

Is this a justified fear? I asked a guy at a shop if lightweight silicone oils were okay to use with sealing surfaces (on markers) and got a resounding no.

it is VERY noisy. Dad used to do it, he had to wear earplugs and eventually sold the engine because of that. Using the wind and thermals as your engine is far better+ you dont become a fatass as you actually have to hike up the mountain to the takeoff. Also cheaper

I agree using the wind and thermals is better, but blocking the noise is not that difficult, use earplugs and over the ear style muffs and the sound is all but gone. However, this does nothing to help everyone with the misfortune of being near you.

I know I am not infallible so I think very carefully when choosing when and where to fly. If you knew much about pg's you would agree that most acciidents are 100% avoidable (not all unfortunately). Motorbikes on the street are completely different, every motorist you encounter along the way has the potential to end your life in a second and in many cases there is nothing you could do about it.

The South African grand prix death video is very extreme. A track marshall gets hit by an f1 car at full speed through a straight. The impact sends the man spinning so violently his body rips itself apart. All that was left of him was an unrecognizable lump of gore. The only way the officials could determine who was hit was by taking a roll call.

Yeah I agree, I think skateboarding is a little less forgiving than say snowboarding or wakeskating or whatever given that you're falling on concrete but you can still do it...you just gotta work your way up to the cool stuff. That being said I broke my ankle skating at 30, had to get plates and screws put in, and haven't really got back into it since but it's more of a mental thing than anything else for me

How would you create a martial art that had as it's main purpose to be most effective against UNTRAINED people? Are there any techniques that are useless in a trained context but disproportionally effective when used against untrained people?
Kind of like how in chess there are openings that are principally not sound and easily rebuked by people who know how to play chess, but allow you to easily checkmate a complete beginner (like the scholar's mate).

Headbutts are the first thing that spring to mind when I hear "disproportionately effective". Basically takes no skill in terms of technique or execution but can have devastating effects.

If any martial art isn't good against untrained people, that shouldn't even qualify as one

>>251389
The average person can't react, has shit footwork and no stamina. So anything that moves a lot and has deadly strikes works.

That's basically a lesser version of Capoeira desu.

>>251389
If you are attacking/defending against untrained people on the street, use a gun or some other weapon for the best results. Martial arts are a sport first and foremost.

He's honestly great to watch even just as a teacher honestly. It's rare to see people who are so clearly one of the best in their fields (or were at a time) be so interested and passionate about teaching people, even complete beginners.

His skate clinics are honestly really interesting to watch just in term of pure pedagogy - he is incredibly good at 'abstracting' a situation, looking at a student and being to tell okay, this is the one specific thing you're doing wrong, and then being able to come up with different ways to help the student see in what way they're not doing it right in the first place, and then a plan for how to fix it.

I don't know, there's something cool about watching a great teacher be great at his job, be it teaching skateboarding or mathematics or music or whatever.

Parkour thread.

Where are you at with your training? How have you been working around the limits of weather and lockdowns? How much do you apply the utilitarian Hébertist mindset of being strong to be useful to your training routines?

Freerunners can post, too. Maybe even gymnasts and trickers if you don't get your own thread up and running.

How do parkour niggas train to make longer jumps and land without blowing up their knees? Or how do they jump from massive heights like nothing?
Is it because they started young and are still young but their bodies will explode later on?
Obviously they do parkour and that conditions their body but do they have strength training specific to parkour, any general strength training works or what do they do alongside parkour for those jumps.
>>
>>253165
the safe answer is by training plyometrics, lifting, crosstraining calisthenics and the like. the real answer is we just send it. don't forget that half of the athletes in our sport are too young to vote, and the other half suffer the consequences of our previous training habits. there shouldn't be anyone under the age of 25 who's had an acl surgery but i personally know at least two, due entirely to an injury sustained from either parkour or tricking and if i were a little bit more retarded, i'd also need one.

>What is the Ultimate Self-Defense Championship?
A bit over a year ago, former Aikidoka YouTuber Rokas Leo set up a tournament with a self-defense "academy" to have himself and five other martial arts YouTubers compete to see who is best at self-defense. It was a hilarious shitshow that nearly crippled one of the contestants, Ramsey Dewey who would later get into an internet spat with the guy behind the academy (Jeff Phillips) and described the entire event as "piss poor" due to poor management, an incoherent and arbitrary scoring system, running on a very limited schedule, and timing events terribly (like having a zombie apocalypse-themed event that didn't influence score in the middle of the entire thing instead of at the end or something) and doing comically dangerous shit like making people fight on a narrow bridge a good 30ft above the ground.
Somehow, he kickstarted a second one, which features even less martial arts YouTubers.

It had potential, but the scenario where the wife sprints away from the contestants to get drugged while everyone in the club bodyblocks the contestant was ridiculous. Also, despite failing the first two challenges, Natan was given the highest score, which was really biased by the judges; he definitely did not perform better than Adrian or Seth.

im looking for ideas for a gambling site,
i think there's opportunity to create something really fun and idiotic for people to gamble on, something that isn't dull like horse racing.
Marble racing is cool but its been done before, claw machines same thing.
With AI you can code things with zero effort, but it doesn't have the human creativity for good concepts.
please give me your suggestions on what cool and fun virtual things you would like to bet on and how the game would function.. e.g race/chance/obstacles..
and if you're interesting in collaborating potentially drop a disc
