Found a Karate org that allows punches to the head. It's happening, lads. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ppt8NuY1LV4
>>7743>I for one support full head gear for karate competitionsThe only problem is that it makes it harder to hear the referee. Especially if you the venue is noisy and you are in the zone.
Anybody else transition from karate to Muay Thai? I did shorin-ryu for 15 years and then relocated to an area where MT was the only choice if I wanted to still focus on standup. It's actually comfortable so far once you learn how to open your hips, not like this galaxy of difference internet nerds make it out to be. I kind of miss the whole three Ks thing about karate, though. Also dan progression, but that's probably just autism.
>>7710Strikes to the head, at least full-contact ones, are discouraged because brain damage is no joke.
>headgearwhat about something like this foam muffler in front of the chin?
>>18346Is this Kudo?
Who do you think is taking the championship this year? My bets are on Ken Roczen if he can keep riding consistent, but Cooper Webb is looking really fast and seems hungry for the championship. What are your thoughts/predictions?
Fuck I hope Kenny can get it done, but Webb is lurking like a damn apex predator ready to make his move. Webb just seems to be able to stalk and make passes even when he isn't the fastest guy on the track. The more motocross style tracks like Daytona will hopefully play to Kens strengths. I won't write Eli or Barcia off yet either, everyone has something major go wrong at some point and it's not out of the question that the two frontrunners could lose a rounds worth of points. Eli usually comes on strong around now.
daytona is this weekend, HYPE also Kenny is going to take it unless Cooper just goes on a crazy win streak
>>18122Damn I miss those guys. Such epic battles week in and week out.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqN_G7J7GOI
>>18226the sport isn't the same without james
What do you listen while doing your sport?https://youtu.be/_VRyoaNF9skhttps://youtu.be/gZvRZjE12SQ
>>16522Same earbuds fall out too so I just listen to whatever sounds are going on around me lol.
>watch the occasional skate video for nostalgia>the music now is either YEE UH WE UH BIX NOOD or some le whacky ironic country song or somethingwhat happened ladshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NjUX8HZIFQ
>>16621>someYou means one too small for your ears. That's why all earbuds will come with different sized rubber buds for you to swap to.

/MMA/ General, Conor McGregor BTFO edition.Talk about professional MMA and Martial Arts in general. What do you anons practice, for how long, why and do you enjoy it?>Bujutsu (A more "modernised" and mixed version of kyokushin)>10 Years>Offers a great amount of technical skills with a focus on street fight. No tournament bs with style etc. Pure street fight>Great, although I miss jiu jitsu aspects
>>17777According to his record he is.
>>17777>check emNo. He is very good though. Fun to watch, anime nerd, like him. I hope Jan wins though since he just got the belt.>>17901Except this isn't true because Khabib has had more wins. Any stat/claim Izzy has for being the GOAT can probably be beaten by Nunes, Holloway, Khabib, Jones, or Demetrious. I would be very surprised if there is/was something Izzy has done that one of the people I just named haven't.
>>17919Doesn't he have an enormous kickboxing rep? I didn't look too deeply into it though.

Is NASCAR considered extreme?
>>14857here are the tracks that turn right on this years schedule:> Daytona RC (same track IMSA runs the 24 hours on)> Watkins Glen> Sonoma> COTA> Road America> Charlotte Roval> Indy road courseThat's about 20% of this year's 10-month schedule. try to keep up if you're gonna talk shit
>>16824> Daytona RC (same track IMSA runs the 24 hours on)its not and it pisses me off. Could have been an amazing road/oval combination but they ruined it with that fucking chicane before trioval
>>18211They need the chicanes to keep the speeds down since they still run steel brakes. Once the next-gen gars come out with carbon rotors I bet we'll see them open up the full roval.
Considered the rush involved? Yes.
Extremely boring and extremely redneck, yeah.
You ever rode 40+ mph on an electric scooter? You should it's really something
Yeah.I had almost that exact same model. Bought it at interbike from one of the chinese crews in the manufacturing and engineering hall. Suspension super nice, lights nice, speed great. Still a scooter, I'd rather have eskate or bike geometry or maybe even a monowheel. I don't care for the way that they crash.

/SBG/ - Slamball GeneralWhat do my fellow /xs/tremists think of slamball? What were your favorite slamball moments?What is slamball?>Slamball is a form of basketball played with four trampolines in front of each net and boards around the court edge.>While SlamBall is based on basketball, it is a contact sport, with blocks, collisions and rough physical play a part of the game, similar to elements of American football and ice hockey.https://youtu.be/2ouXw328WYI
>>13758Ah yes, American style ankle shredder
>>13758>SlamballMore like BASEDball

Is there a place in the US where I can ski ,surf , rock climbing and mountain bike that not LA?
>>16557He's from hawaii
Big island Hawaii has all 4 if you're willing to work for your skiing.
>>16982where can you ski in hawaii?
>>17143Op here(again and no I'm not going to become a namefag). You go skiing in mauna kea if you want to.
>>15854Sacramento is in the middle of the state, you have to drive a ways to get to the coast.
I'm 27, going on 28. Is it too late for me to learn how to skate?
>>16472So long as you aren't a diabetic fatass, you should be able to learn to skate relatively well if you're south of 40.
I can't wait for spring to come, not really into trick skating but looking forward to some comfy cruising.
>>16584Is this what shoobie pride looks like?
>>16472Not at all, I started two months ago at 27 and I can tre now, the important thing is practice, do about 3 1-hour sessions per week and you will improve quickly.
>>18215>>16747>>16573>>16472Lol I'm 27 too and always wanted to learn how to skate. We should start a "late bloomer skate general" thread and post updates on our progress.
Extreme sports calls for extreme injuries.Post yours. Here's mine, 24 stitches while mountain biking straight into a barbed wire fence. Turns out janky berms on your backyard trails might not hold up as you fly through them.
Heh, a couple inches lower and you woulda died haha
>>18176If only.Alternate ending is a bit higher and lose an eye.
dox thread
Broke my leg in a car accident, 2 years later feeling good late December, had 10 days into the ski season, was jumping off a cliff at kirkwood in mediocre conditions, going up the backside lift for my 4th time off the cliff, told my buddy to watch this, made some joke about breaking my leg again... yeah
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?
>>17882fuck off mutt
>>10976wtf what happened?
>>17890Urm, it is still smashing against your skull, but the absorb provided by the foam liner makes it smash way less hard. Something something physics....something something why are airbags a thing?
Suprised millenials still care about how helmets look when every other fashion thing people cared about seemingly died in the 90s
If you're not gonna wear one, just don't fall. Otherwise you run the risk of actually becoming a retard and retards are significantly less cool than helmets.
Whats your gnarliest slam of all time?
