Do you consider horseback riding an extreme sport?
>>220914I've never had a martial arts, parkour, snowboarding, or skateboarding injury as bad as some of the horseback riding injuries I've seen in my family.
>>220914yesrisk of serious injury and incredibly expensive to take good care of a horse
>>235697It does actually take a pretty high degree of athleticism as well (if you're actually trying to be good at it). And you have to control all of your limbs independently based on steering.
>>220914/sp/ hereAristo-Immobilisation is not an sport
>>220914Hurdle hopping?No.Rodeo riding?Yes.
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
>>238329Skydiving is a dangerous activity that can be done in a relatively safe manner.Your parachute will open almost certainly, but that doesnt mean it will always open exactly when or how you want, or not cause you to end up in a double out mess.You have to be collected/capable enough to deal with all the bullshit introduced by human error/other jumpers.This week, a pro jumper in a national team died to a swoop landing in my DZ.
>>238375Comparatively, I wonder how many more people died in car/motorcycle accidents around the same area.
>>238407I would estimate each skydive to be ~20 mins of potentially dangerous activity (with 15 mins of it being the ride up, which is significantly lower risk profile, but not 0).So a good comparison would be based on the likelihood of injury or death in 1000 jumps (20000mins=333hours of skydiving+parachuting+riding up) vs 333 hours of riding your motorcycle. It's still the safest extreme sport, but it's unfair to exclaim civilian motorcycle riding to be more accident prone on a per minute of activity basis.
I'm struggling too much with sit-fly (in tunnel)
>>238315I had my first jump last week (it was exhilarating, would recommend) and I was talking to my tandem master along with another experienced jumper about the AAD on the truck ride to the plane, and they said one dude they knew died because he passed out on a jump despite the AAD opening. That's one that shocked me never having done it before is how fast you come in even with the shoot open, especially on swoops and turns. You land wrong with the shoot open and you're still fucked. So the AAD isn't the best fail safe you would think it is. And from my understanding that's where most skydiving fatalities come from, human error not mechanical error. It doesn't matter how battle tested your gear is, it can't prevent people from being dumbasses doing highly risky maneuvers or freak health accidents like losing consciousness on the jump.Your gear not working and winding up like a bug on a windshield during a summer night is your fearful primal monkey brain speaking, but in actuality it rarely happens like that.
This is actually an OCD thread. In the last ten years a new style of skating got popular, it's a bit old school and idk stupid. The best example would be the pelican, where you go up and do a tard version of a rock to fakie by taking your back foot off and just stepping on the ramp. Though it can also be innovative. I think Richie Jackson is a perfect example. Might as well call it Richie Jackson style but there's a better word for it. It's some random skateboard slang and I just can't remember what someone called it a couple years ago. It's just some word I forgot and it's bothering me
>>229938You mean bumstyle?
>>230037No it wasn't bumstyle. It was some weird word like steezy or bunky
>>229938Bump

Jon Jones has retired from MMA.Tom Aspinall is promoted to Undisputed UFC Heavyweight Champion.Thoughts?
>>234994>Tom AspinallHard to respect that guy. He's a champion in one of the weakest Heavyweight divisions ever. You'd teleport that guy back to peak Pride FC he'd got mauled. Not even by the big boys but by second-rate guys like Kevin Randleman.
>>240175So what the fuck you want Tom to do? Travel back in time? This argument is peak casual bullshit. You can only beat the people in your era. So unless you have a time machine, shut the fuck up. And Kevin was a damn good fighter in his prime, so him beating Tom wouldnt be the insult you think it was.
>>234994Honestly disappointed. To me he truly was the best, I started watching Tuf in 8th Grade back in 09 and got into MMA he was the baddest man on the planet back then and it's crazy he remained that for so long. Never really agreed with the arguments for Gustaffson, but I do think Reyes could have gone either way, depends on how you feel about beat the man to be him adage. Fighting him was just fucking combat, if he doesnt knock you out with a bow, then he's going to oblique kick you into PT, which i never understood how that legal. As for the roids who gives a shit, in the word of Cody No Love " you showed us all how to use EPO back at Alpha Male", most fighters are on Roids or T, Nate said it too, shit even Rampage just copped to it, its too hard to tell who isn't, so its just safe to assume most are. I personally think he woulda Smashed Tom, and that now that Jon is gone Tom's legacy is going to go from GOAT Killer to very unspectacular and short lived. With all that being said this does leave a sour taste in my mouth, I wouldn't describe this as anything other than fear on Jon's part, but also at the same time he's reigned as a dominant final boss for over a decade amassing quite a hit list, does he have to take more damage for a bunch of cackling dickheads who will probably just shit on him anyway. That's been the truly sickening part of all this, all these internet sheep who get to gang up on something they can collectively hate, so they think it's okay to denigrate a storied career. I never really called myself a vocal fan till all these people decided it was fashionable to shit talk a legend.
>>240742Well Jones has done a lot to erode the good will of fans over the years. He has received beyond favorable treatment despite saying and doing deplorable shit. IIRC he and Josh Barnett are the only champs who got stripped for PEDs. The UFC cancelled an entire event because of him. And then there's the eye poking and other stuff that didnt get called by refs even though some of it was blatant. Also, his behavior outside the cage is even worse, if you want to hold that against him. Jones is undoubtedly a great fighter but there always will be several asterisks next to his name. Its just how it is. He did that to himself. As for Tom, he deserved a shot at the belt but since Jones turned down 30 million to face him, he never got the chance. But at least Jones gave the belt up to allow the division to move along. I think Tom will have a few defenses as i dont think anyone currently at HW beats him.
>>234994spams that knee kick too much.
Playing frisbee golf with a saw blade.Extreme? Yes or no?
it would only really be extreme for the trees and pedestrians
Extremely retarded. You’re gonna cut your hand unless you’re turbo putting and your distance will be absolute garbage
>motocross is so dead there isn't even a thread for it on /xs/ its so over
Shimoda avoided that retard Deegan, ran a clean race and won. >>242960>sexton is fucking dead tooI don't know why they don't train these guys to tuck and roll when that happens, better to break legs than your spine doing a face plant.

I train boxing 6 days a week and 2 an a half hours each day minimum, is it enough for competing amateur?When i rest on sunday, i feel like i could do much more but with the gym closed i don't have the same will to do exercise.
>>224183it depends how old is he. when I was 18 and was doing amateur Muay Thai I trained 6-7x a week and still had school. If he is a young buck he def has the energy.>>219114solid point. If he doesn't have the hunger or aggression, he will get rolled. My first two fights were baaaaaad, but it helped me to become more ruthless in a way
>>219056No. No amount of training can help you fight if you are not a fighter. Lots of people train and learn nothing of value. They get some good cardio but cant punch a hole in a paper bag.Just watch downs syndrom danny box.
>>219056Kid in my family is 18 and building up to a fight in a few months. He's doing 4 a week on top of a physical job every day. That's built from 3 a week. If he asked to do 6 a week his coach would probably drop him for being retarded. And this is a real old school ghetto gym. You're training like a pro but you're not a pro. At least put another rest day in there and then try and drop another day by increasing some intensity and taking less time.
what weight class
>>2190561,000 amateur boxers die every single year just be aware of what you're getting into when you qualify for your boxing license
when will this faggot fight again? I like his style and he definitely beat Sean, but when is he gonna defend that title against the Bugman?
>>195798Is maturing realizing that Chael was the bad guy here?
>>241212Bullying Brazilians has always been ok to do, but he's lost the plot with defending rampages son and then doubling down on it
>>240122all good, Khabib's one of the best to do it. no shame in losing to the best.
Would webm work against a trained fighter?Like basically starting a rear naked choke but from the front and then transitioning to the back quickly
Can someone send that meme image where it is Merab and Topuria (maybe pantoja is in it too) looking like pepes, and they are looking at taller fighters smuggly? The meme is something about being short and being based.

>>245190compression shirts and underwear unless you like hanging out in sweaty moist cotton clothespocketless short athletic shortsa gi if you do gi>Also, it it normal to train in an environment with no AC where everyone is sweating a ton?depends on the gym, some are too cheap to get proper air conditioning
>>245195When I look at the tag, what should I be looking for?What brands are best?I really want to train mostly no gi.
>>245196personally all my stuff is from Tatami so i cant speak for any other brandsi've been happy with the quality of their products, they're affordable and go on sale often (although this may not be the case due to tariffs if you're in the US)but like i said, to start with just any tight fitting compression shirt and some pocketless athletic shorts are fine. underarmour is okay in my experience. they're easier to find in regular clothing stores so you don't gotta pay for shipping or nothing if you have one nearby.
>>245198Why tight-fitting? Why not loose? Don't you want to be pretty cool right, almost like you're shirtless? I was told to get one of these shirts when I visited a BJJ gym to see what it's like after some asshole on some stimulant randomly pushed me on the gym because I was apparently too close to him (somewhere around 6 feet away irl). He was also throwing random punches in front of a mirror for quite some time, but I mostly ignored him since I actually go to the gym to work out and make strength and muscle gains.
>>245199a loose fit is ok, it's just more likely that it will get caught on something and get stretched out, or ride up your stomach>Don't you want to be pretty cool right, almost like you're shirtless?well, that's what compression shirts are designed to do. they're breathable, light and absorb sweat better.
>hard sparring>more than 4x a yearCouldn't be me!
>>240166>prolonged sitting, drinking, eating fried foods, being dehydrated, staying up late, eating sugary foods, exposure to loud noises over 100dB. You better stay home and avoid all that.Oooo such wit, you definitely shut that shit down bro. All that shit totally produces CTE, Parkinson's, dementia, and Alzheimer's at the same rate that repeated head trauma has been linked to. No doubt. That shit you said definitely w was not some mid wit smooth brain retardation, not at all.
>>240312>There are lots of ways to do that without rattling your brain.A strawman argument, the favorite tool of the disingenuous fool. I never said to intentionally take as many blows to the head as possible, only a retard would have read what I wrote and assumed so. Just because people recommend hard sparring against a non-compliant adversary doesn't mean that they want to promote masochism.>It's funny that a lot of karatekas on this board love to shit on kyokushin for not allowing head strikes during sparring when despite that it's regularly recognized as having some of the most brutal conditioning out of all karate stylesI actually look up to those guys; they spar harder than I do, more often too. You just assumed I think they're weak to justify all the lame bullshit you spoke.>>240313>Alzheimer'sI promise you that sugar is the number 1 cause of this one. Many countries have started referring to it as type 3 diabetes for a reason.
>>240317>A strawman argument, the favorite tool of the disingenuous fool. I never said to intentionally take as many blows to the head as possible, only a retard would have read what I wrote and assumed so.Given the context of the thread, it's implicit that taking blows to the head is what you meant. Way to attempt wit but display a lack of reading comprehension at the same time.>You just assumed I think they're weak to justify all the lame bullshit you spoke.Again with the lack of reading comprehension, with a dash of narcissism. Did I say you? Have you said you practice Karate anywhere in this thread? No & no, so why would I be referring to you.>sugarSince you want to use logical fallacies, thats a nice red herring there. If it wasn't obvious, no one gives a shit about all that other crap and we're concerned with what repeated head trauma does. Also facetious remark about how "you better stay home and avoid all that too" also greatly contributed to your patent implications that sparring should explicitly include blows to the head.>tl;dr: "I was only pretending to be retarded"
>>240331>display a lack of reading comprehensionProjecting after misreading my comment. sad.
>>240049as an amateur, i like heavy sparring because i find it fun. As long as you make a rule of not trying to kill your partner (as in, be careful with head-hits), both parties can enjoy it.I dislike light sparring as it gives amateurs false confidence in their abilities, and people can take advantage of that you'll be slower by spamming range like side-kicks.

>>236546I just got a V3 Edit after a ten plus year hiatus of all things mountainbiking - I got out just as they were trialling out 650b bikes and my buddy (who still kept riding) recommended that I get one. I'm pretty impressed how far bikes have come since 2012. This descends better than my old Giant Glory. Two rides in though and I'm having intrusive thoughts that I'm too old for this shit. The average age of the kids I bump into around here must be about 17 years old.
>>237677totally opposite where I ride, most people are in their mid to late 30's or 40's and it's very rare to see anyone else younger than me. Most people are also riding an ebike too. Mine is a v1 edit and for how old it is it still rides great imo. Yes it does have a 2021 model fork on it but pretty much everything else is around about time specific for when it came out. I think the only issue with airdrops is that their seat tube length has always been too long (I ended up cutting around 15mm of mine off) and they have only really fixed it with their new mx models.
Should I get a 27.5" or a 29" ebike MTB or make a mullet out of the 27.5" for food delivery?I tend to jump on curbs, lane-switch and such in the inner city but in the outskirts there are longer stretches of asphalt, potholes are not rare either
>Had to hose out a Spider nest made literally within my bike>Like it would literally just crawl out of my left hand brakes at random times while biking to just chillAnyone else deal with this?
>>238137Hardtail with slack tube angle, fat semislick tires and rigid fork with mounting points for a rack. Throw in a bafang kit and you'll get yourself your optimal in-town delivery bike.
