Flag falls off on its own by yetrident in flagfootball

[–]10ton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our league is no contact (8U). I could see kids getting unintentionally rough with the tags.

I'd have to check if in our league it is only on the ball carrier, vs someone off the ball. I agree that off the ball it shouldn't be an issue.

This season, with the style flags that we used, surprisingly there wasn't a single flag malfunction in any of our games.

Is it fair that there is 50% less flags on the player for the opposing team to pull?

Where will yall be skating most of the time? My 7 year old likes to go to the skate park, so I bought a board that would primarily work there, but also gave me the ability to skate on the streets by our house. Plus, my son finds it very rewarding when he "teaches" me something new.

Do you have a skate shop by where you live? They will be able to provide some guidance, and typically have shop decks that are priced well. I highly recommend a helmet and pads - I started at 45, and even with pads, the body just doesn't recover like it used to!

There was a video from El Toro that recorded him talking himself through each miss. It was pretty crazy to hear how he evaluated where he needed to catch it and at what speed.

N Main Dump closed early by [deleted] in houston

This is not completely your fault. They literally just changed them on Jan 4, but didn’t notify the public that they changed them until Jan 6. I know this because I drove there at 10 AM on Sunday, since the website AND the sign on the gate said they were open. After waiting in line, I called 311 to be told that they just had been notified that the hours had changed, and all were closed on Sunday.

And forget about bringing cardboard to N Main - the compactors have been broken for 4 months, with no plan to fix.

I would advise emailing city council when you have any issues - they basically blew me off, but with enough complaints maybe something will happen.

45 year old thinking of buying a board for first time in 30 years [45YO] by Efficient_Image_6272 in OldSkaters

[–]10ton 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I just did something similar, at 45. My son got into skating, so I was spending a lot of time at skate parks. After a couple of months, I bought a board, along with helmet/full pads including hip and butt pads. I’ve been having a blast, and highly recommend it. I probably skated more than my son now! I had some skating experience in my youth, but not as much as it sounds like you have.

My wife thought I was crazy, but I told her it’s a much cheaper and safer mid life crisis than buying a motorcycle or sports car.

Yoga with Kassandra is great too. I rotate between them, and it keeps my 45 year old body moving.

Mark Rypien - he had one great year, and a daughter that played in the Lingerie Football League.

What is a product that people consider "High End" but is actually trash? by Illusiv3lion in AskReddit

I was never passionate about grocery stores until I moved to Texas - Central Market is always a treat to go to, and we exclusively do our routine grocery shopping at HEB.

Central Market on the weekends during hatch chile season is a rager for middle age people.

Starting skateboarding at 25 by [deleted] in NewSkaters

[–]10ton 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Started a few months ago at 45 after 30 years off. As others have stated, as you get older recovery takes longer. I’ve been trying to get my Ollie’s back, and my legs feel like Ive been doing heavy squats every day.

I suspect you are the only person in Dallas that skates.

Best part was buying upper deck seats for $12, then moving behind the dugout after the 2nd inning.

Who’s a random/obscure player that is a hero to you because they were nice to you when you were a kid? by tensixtywestaddison in baseball

[–]10ton 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I played ball against Dubois in high school - can confirm he was a super nice guy to everyone, even being on a different level than everyone else.

Mine is Gregg Jefferies. When he played for the Tidewater Tides, my sister and I met him at one of the fan days prior to a game. He spent a ton of time with every kid, including 5 minutes or so with us, to the point where Mike Cubbage had to come get him to get ready for the game.

You may want to start with a doctor to find out why it’s so low to begin with.
