how do you avoid fucking up yourself when skateboarding
>>13540That is a great photo
>>13540This looks like a fun time.
Already we have battles between basement incels and people who go outside on this board
>>253I'm wondering this too and there doesn't seem to be a good solution to it.I am comfortable with snowboarding and going high speeds no problem. I got to try longboarding once and it seems more stable then normal skateboard but still felt really risky. You go high speed and hit a small pebble, it is all over.
>>14101jokes on you i have a flatbar in the garage. outside is no longer necessary

>voice in my head telling me to switch back to thunders has been getting louder this weekanyone here ride thunders? do the ones with the forged baseplate come in a lower height compared to the standard thunder?
>>13750>>13752Thank you.
>>14059>you now remember Lenny Kirk saying "pray more, get to know the Lord" after he finished robbing people at shotgun point.
>>13485We actually had an anon at some point who printed some boards and the graphics were siiiick, it was two words but I can't remember them. That was some years back. He had two designs, hip hop inspired.
>>13750basedthis is a shota board now. oldfags get the pillow
Lol he's a very poor street skater with avarage vert runs, despite his lucky 900 (which every skater who tries to lan it at least 2 thousand times like he did is capable to do) The game series should've been called Burnquist Pro Skater
>>14042he has street parts from back then new fag. I bet you wear thrasher hoodies.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Na45BeMgiiY
>>14050Why is that man donning the iron cross?
He looks like Bill Gates. Jew?
>tony hawk is a poser Not even a week and we have god tier retard posts
>>14050what's fucked up is that's how kids skate now. tony was 30 years ahead of the curve, today he'd be some supreme rat filming with fat bill
Where all my aggressive bladers at?About to order the some Them 909shttps://youtu.be/cliwMjwqHts
>>14068hurr durrr eat my cum fag, enjoy your safe baby sport even little girls do~if you're boarding just to get laid there's much easier ways for you homos to get your dick sucked, like going to a gay bar
>>14149>bladers are so gay >anyway here's my 100000th post about eating cum and sucking cocks but it's bladers that are gay
>>12530aesthetic
>>14310>can perform maybe a third of the tricks boarders can, at best>so buttmad he has to fanatically defend his bs pussy ambling about and grinding the occasional rail like it can compare to skating
>>14310lmao
Why would you choose to spend your life doing something you will never gain respect for? Any scooter chuds in /xs/?
>>13594Scooters ARE gay. Skateboarding and BMX actually take talent. Any faggot can scoot. When I was a kid you would get mercilessly made fun of for riding a scooter.
>>13594ahahahahah there are skaters who have been able to backflip a scooter in 4 tries. and dont call it 'SMX" , you will never be a real sport
>>13675>When I was a kid you would get mercilessly made fun of for riding a scooter.yep it was the same heresomehow they got popular over the years and I see zoomers riding them much more
>>13594>SMX
>>13083ok kike
Is fencing /xs/? Anyone fence here?
>>13277Sabre rules focus a lot more on intention than other weapons.
>>14231The intentionally injurious part of it is what makes academic fencing seem kind of daft. Maybe there's a deeper satisfaction to it but the lack of movement and aiming for the unprotected face, just to accumulate some scars, what the fuck is going on there. I get that manhood rituals used to be dead common and a lot of them are injurious or painful but most of the world has left behind scarring young people for the sake of tradition.I guess that's my question. What's the appeal? Why not normal fencing?
took saber classes at a local fencing club in philly to help my MMA game. ended up really fucking enjoying the sport.
>>14331That's the way. Just because you probably won't be your country's number one Olympic fencer doesn't mean it's not worth doing. That's like saying "I'll never be a powerlifter so I won't even try lifting weights at all."
>>9559>>9562>>9576Americans can't fence worth a shit.
>no paintball threadIs paintball even more irrelevant than airsoft is?
>>14301Used to own an empire trracer. Best fun running around with 10 round tubesMade playing very economical too.
>>1724Well, this is /extreme sports/. Not /too fat to join the army/
> /too fat to join the army/Thats the airsofters bro. We dont larp
>>14137>kickMy nigga just said kick and barrel rise are genuine issues with a toy gun.>Why do you think range and accuracy are the only factors that exist?You have the reading comprehension of a nigger, I mentioned other issues with tippmanns like weight and BPS.
>>7930you may as well just play airsoft if you want magfed, milsim markers. if you don't have an entire event around them, you can't even compete with people that have 20x your ammo and no need to reload
What resorts do you guys like snowboarding at the most? My personal favorite is Red Lodge in Montana
any midwest people here? I used to go to Cascade in Wisconsin a lot since its wasn't a very far drive from Chicago and it was a pretty cool mt with a few terrain parks. There was another one in northern Michigan I went to a few times as a teenager was like a 7 hour drive but I can't remember the name of it for the life of me but it was probably the best I'd been at other than my few trips to CO.
Alpine Basin was awesome
>>7834 Yoo I lived there in grades 3-5, 20 now but has anything changed? Do kids still use Rayleigh or do most of them go to that gay little 30 person school on the hill?
>>13505if it was UP you went to Mt Bohemia, super sick skiing there compared to the rest of the midwest
My favorite have been Alps so far. Alps have realy nice variety and you don't get bored as fast.It suckes that everything is closed for traveling this year and I have been snowboarding in my local "mountains".
Does it count here?
>>14333Sure but probably not professional racing.
>>14341wdym?
>>14333Im hoping it does. I've recently finished my SXE362 Single turbo conversion to my FD, was wondering if we're allowed to discuss street and track racing here.

>>14304King Arms AS VAL. Secondary KJW M9.
Airsoft is fucking gay and so are you all
>>14251EFT gear is mostly mall ninja or nu-Russian shit like Wartech which are Tasmanian Tiger clones, which in turn, are mostly clones from other well-established brands like Eagle or BFG. Check their wiki, it's usually well maintained by the community and /k/, which is secretly gay for this game.

Why are helmets so fucking lame? Why haven't they been able to make them cool in the decades of production?Why is going helmetless just so much cooler?
>>13737All the helmets besides those 100 dollar ones say protect up to minimum impact on the inside
>>13285>Easier to get too and around the same priceI tried to buy what I thought was a full face motorbike helmet back around August last year. It turned out to just be a bunch of shitty go-pro attachments.
I don't wear a helmet. Reason: don't feel like itMine you fucking business and if you can't manage that then kys
>>13640the question should be why the fuck are you bothering to wear something that isn't impact rated.
The whole helmet shit is r/Longboarding circlejerking. If you are bombing a hill at 30mph; sure, a helmet is a good idea. If thou are skating flat at less than 10mph then you might as well wear one when you go for a jog. Seeing these reddit fags wear helmets cruising on a pump track is just dumb.
I've been skating for over a year now and I still can't ollie. I don't have any friends and the retards at reddit can never help. Usually what happens is the board goes behind my back and it seems like I've tried everything to fix this but it still won't pop straight. Doing tricks looks so fun but it's so frustrating that I can't even do the foundation for nearly all modern skate tricks. I'm thinking about just getting a freestyle board and getting into that.
>>4350longboard is for those losers who can't even learn to do olliesgo for it pussyI mean after a year I did a kickflip idiot, it's not that hard
>>12774>>12803not aaron, but one of the other braille guys fetty potter has been accused of statutory rape. I can no longer find any good links apart form a 46 page slap thread which I'm also not going through, so decide for yourselves https://www.slapmagazine.com/index.php?topic=107013.60
>>4331>the board goes behind my backtoo much weight on your toespractice backside kickturns with a focus on getting as much rotation out of a single one as you can. It will help you get used to putting your weight on your heels while lifting the nose/kicking the tail.
>>13128>>13028this is how I got friendly with everyone at the local skate shop. id always show up with some extra beer or shooters and offer em up to anyone and chill in the shop for a while. felt weird at first but now I just show up to the shop with a 12 pack like once a week and chill with the homies.
>>4331I'd say you need to adjust the positioning of your back foot. It's hard to say what you're doing wrong without being able to see you try. You should literally try 100s of times every day you can, it's best way to learn any trick.>>14325This guy may be right too. Can you tic-tac op? You start stationary and and move your nose left to right and build up momentum. If not try learning that and shuv its (without popping) first.

get the f out , this place belongs to the streets now
I joined what might be the worst boxing gym a few months ago.>also offer krav maga classes>no punching bags>I'm the only one in shape there>coach didn't know the standard is to have the dominant hand behind>he doesn't let we spar because he doesn't want blood in the floor because it will scare the women there (i guess he doesn't know light sparring is a thing)I'm a kickboxer and joined because I wanted to get a better punching game to compensate my short reach, but honestly I think I'm better off training on my own. I started meeting with a friend to spar boxing in a park and I feel like is helping me more than that gym.
yo
>>12603Yeah it is, but professional sports belongs on sp, we don't have /UFC/ here for a reason, but there are mma threads.
>>14337Yeah, but by the same logic boxing should have thread here as well. /sp/ is for spectators, the pro matches, the show. /xsp/ is for the art of boxing, the sportsmen, amateur or otherwise.
Why didn't team based MMA take off?1v1 is basically a 'solved' sport. I think these types of match conditions would reinvigorate the scene and give us amazing matches as they start optimizing group unarmed combat.
>>12835>Half the dudes standing around gassed after the first 5 mins or so>Two guys just embracing in the middle of the match>Sarcastaball.pnghttps://youtu.be/8_tn5Ji0nac?t=2743
>>14071Its glorious chaos. Its perfect
>>8247just play a different football code lmao, aussie rules and rugby union being the obvious choices https://youtu.be/s1aU0hz5Tf8
>>5111>>7886How do you expect people to do formation fighting while not having weapons? Nobody every did formation fighting unarmed; that's retarded.
>>5084It doesn't work for the same reason other people have mentioned. The moment one guy loses, it becomes 2v1, 3v1, and so on.The best way to do a team format would be to do the format used in Quintet (which is similar to rules used in kosen judo). Two guys have a match. Once somebody wins, the next guy on the other team comes in to fight the winner right away. If it's a draw (if time runs out and nobody wins), both get eliminated and the next set of guys comes on. Whoever runs out of people on the team first loses.There's also no individual weight limit, only a team limit. This adds to another layer of strategy. You could have a balanced team of medium guys, or have smaller guys fighting the other's big guy to purposely stalemate them and get their heavy hitter eliminated, etc.Even if you're not interested in grappling, I still recommend Quintet. Because of the rules, people are highly encouraged to finish the other guy as quickly as possible. The refs are also quick to call and penalize stalling (arguably too quickly at times), so there's constant action.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tedwYJxJqjY
