You can easily end up in a wheelchair.
I had a lot of close calls with those flying bed sheets and gave up paragliding .... for hang gliding. Almost no close calls, rigid wind is a rigid wing. Wing weight is substantial, when compared to paragliding. Also takes more strength to fly so better for health and muscle gain.

Hope to get a breaking thread going after many witnessed the kino that was the Men's Breaking at the Olympics. Some people from the live thread on /sp/ suggested /xs/ which seems fitting as breaking is one of the most physically demanding of dances.

The next big event is The Notorious IBE 2024 happening next week Aug 16-Aug 18, where you'll see familiar competitors from the Olympics battle with their crews in both group and individual battles.

There are plenty of video tutorials online if one wants to get started and learn breaking, but the best way is to find your local groups/jams as the community is very welcoming.

What as your favorite moment from the Olympics? Picrel

The lineups at the Olympics are pretty accurate for the bgirls/bboys (with the exception of Aus) in terms of individual ability. If there were no country restrictions (max 2 per country), you would see a couple more Japanese and Russian bboys/bgirls.

You can probably get to know the familiar faces in the pro scene by watching the bigger events in the year like Red Bull BC One (1v1 only), Freestyle Session, IBE or World Breaking Classic to name a few. All the big names attend these events which range from 1v1 to crew vs crew and the in between like 2v2/3v3.

The thing about crew battles is that each member doesn't need to be an insane all-rounder, like you would need to be to compete at the highest level in 1v1 battles. Each member has their own specialty such as being a power-head (think Hiro10), footwork focused, flexibility etc. They've also got routines which are pretty sick.

Some notable crews include:
Predatorz (Russia, Amir's crew)
The Ruggeds (Netherlands, Lee's crew)
Squadron (USA, Victor's crew)
Body Carnival / Foundnation (Japan)
Jinjo Crew (Korea, they are falling off, but are still probably the most famous)
Red Bull BC One All Stars is a crew that's akin to NBA All Stars as it's made up of most of the winners of the Red Bull Bc One as well as some really good breakers (featuring Hong10, Phil Wizard, Nicka, Menno, Victor, Ami)

Yeah the 2 japs are gods. Phil tried his best but I think he was gassed in the last battle. He still carried Lil Zoo tho.

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.

I know the japanese tourism and animation industry have a lot to thank toriyama for, but something underrated is how much the martial arts industry has to thank him for
fact is it wouldn't be nearly as popular of a hobby as it is if this show never existed since it's the thing that inspired so many kids to get involved

so ITT we will discuss all things related to our training and self improvement and helping each other
exercises, training routines, diets, motivation, etc.
work hard, study well, and eat and sleep plenty

>>

Go into training with a fuller stomach. Time more of your calories ~3 hours pre. Don't try to just burn the weight off at the gym, give yourself ample fuel to work and let your metabolism eat your excess while you're sleeping. I wouldn't necessarily up your calories, but manipulation of when you eat can make a significant difference overall.

>does the board level out easier when you’re moving?
Yes. The pop gets better friction the faster you are rolling. Doing it in the grass or on carpet, you'll get basically no pop at all. A lot of beginners have this issue. Once you get into doing tricks, catching the board is essential to consistency. If you catch the board in the air there's less room for error. But beginners usually do shove-its or kickflips where they basically flop over on the ground. These can actually be harder counter-intuitively, but at first you don't have much choice. My recommendation is to avoid practicing tricks stationary. Because if you learn to ollie stationary, you're still a long way away from doing it rolling. Or some goes with kickflips. What will discourage you is you get your first kickflip ever, but it was in the grass. And then you try it rolling and you still can't do it. Better to just go ahead and start practicing rolling imo.

Drinking fresh raw carrot juice or other fresh raw vegetable
juices with raw milk, if available, daily, restores mental functions.
Drinking fresh raw ginger root blended in raw juices or grated and
eaten with other foods helps to stimulate mental functions. Drinking
fresh raw asparagus juice with other vegetable juices helps mental
functions. A lot of memory problems result from concentrations of
accumulated toxins, especially aluminum from vaccines, cooking
utensils, canned food and drinks, and packaging, including aluminum
foil. Eating ½-1 cup organic raspberries blended with 4-6 tablespoons
raw coconut cream, 1 tablespoon unsalted raw butter, 1½ tablespoons
raw dairy cream and 1 tablespoon unheated honey helps remove
aluminum from the body. Adding ½ teaspoon clay to that drink
increases its effectiveness. If you do not like the taste with clay added
to it, you could put the clay in your mouth and wash it down with the
raspberry drink. See Clay page 181.

pretty sure the "appeal" was that you could always wear them with no extra equipment necessary, so you could BUST A MOVE on the fly if you ever came across a good spot.
of course that type of logic mostly applies in movies and advertisements. in the real world they were just poorer skaters with uncomfortable shoes.
