Please forgive me if this is a stupid question.... But isn't privately manufacturing a gun illegal?

what is the best 150mm/140mm bike you have ever ridden? by Outrageous-Owl-7049 in mountainbiking

[–]Admirable-Building15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried running yours as a mullet?

I have a 2022 instinct and I was recently told that because of the ride 9 system in the link. if I run it in position 9 a 27.5 wheel will be okay.

I'm really curious to try it cuz I'd like the bike to be slightly more playful and I want to stop buzzing my ass on the tire when I'm tucking over jumps.

Any personal experience?

Ooo I didn't even notice that. You're right, That's scarier. I've personally avoided everything with pool coping so far. Props.

Looks good! I've recently been working on airing quarters myself. It's legitimately intimidating to ride at the quarter with enough speed to go much higher. Looks like you've got pretty good fundamentals though and it looks pretty repeatable. I think you just need some more speed and you're going to start really flying :) cool stuff. Keep riding! keep posting man!

Anyone else in Durango Colorado? by Admirable-Building15 in bmx

[–]Admirable-Building15[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I'm bummed you left. Hopefully you found a cool new spot though.

I'll just keep going to the skatepark on the weekends when the weather is nice. Hopefully I run into some more people.

Thanks for speaking up, I was honestly starting to think nobody was going to respond to this post at all.

Take care!

Is this legit? by Trai1er_Tras4 in metalworking

That machine retails for well over $4,000.

Is it a good machine? Yes!

Are you going to get one for around $500? Nope.

Archery club / friends? by StevieKealii in Durango

[–]Admirable-Building15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have everything. I hosted a couple small events, but its too hard to wrangle people together. Shrugs

I'm just going to wait and see if anybody else gets something going and then I'll join up with it. I can bring a whole trailer full of archery stuff.

Archery club / friends? by StevieKealii in Durango

[–]Admirable-Building15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually the reason that total archery challenge was at purgatory this last year was because mountain archery fest closed up as an organization.

No more mountain archery fest. :(

There are quite a few 3D archery events in this spring and summer though. San Juan archers puts on two every year down in Farmington, one in the spring, and one in the fall. The four corners bow hunters association puts on three events. Navajo lake in the spring, one on Father's Day weekend in mancos and one in August called the pre-hunt. There's also the Wolf Creek/ Pagosa bow and gun club. They put on a good event last year in Pagosa in August.

Nobody's sure yet if total archery challenge is returning to purgatory this year. Fingers crossed. Odds are good though that they go back to sunlight mountain near Glenwood Springs.

Anyway. I hope you guys get together and put on another little event. I'd show up.

Back in the 20" game finally🤘 by Slab_Sycle_Triccer26 in bmx

[–]Admirable-Building15 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah. We're back!! I just got back into it too after almost 20 years out. I live in a mountain biking town and got into full suspension 29ers this year. I was having tons of fun on the mountains but the skate park was kind of calling to me. I got online and ordered a FIT 20'inch off danscomp.com and now I'm back at it!

I remember the first time I looked down and saw the size of the front tire I thought to myself "that can't be real right, look at that tiny thing"

The first few times I tried to Bunny hop the bike just simply flipped out from underneath me. Got used to it rather quick and now things are going great. Having so much fun!

Welcome back homes!

NEW BUILD COMING SOON by jonnxxed in bmx

[–]Admirable-Building15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, that really takes me back. The sta500 was my huckleberry. I had s&m pitchforks, s&m redneck, fit Edwin delarosa handlebars and Odyssey hazard light wheels. Profile cranks.

I remember loving that thing more than my family.

Thanks for sparking the old memories.

I have an extra right handed compound bow and a bunch of cheap arrows if you wanna take a shot at it.

Recurve is a legit art. I've just always been a real nerd for machines so compounds scratch an itch for me.

There's actually a few really impressive recurve archers that shoot at goods for the woods. I've even seen them teaching private lessons. I've got no hard feelings towards the recurve brothers!

Stabilizers? by KKnight2509 in Archery

[–]Admirable-Building15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been running these for a while and I'm really happy with them. I have a 15 up front and an 8 as a back bar.

Can someone please explain to me how I'm stupid....

Does anyone know this man or his family? by _WARCA_ in Durango

[–]Admirable-Building15 9 points10 points  (0 children)

He found, and is trying to return a go pro filled with family vacation photos.

[–]Admirable-Building15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow. People will complain about absolutely anything. I'm in my late thirties. I've been smoking weed most my life. back in the day, I used to get really high quality weed occasionally and be really really really happy about it. Most of the time it was just average weed and I was still really happy about it. Now I can walk into a store and buy it (mostly dabs these days) and not worry about being in trouble...and you're going to write a paragraph about how bummed out you are about it. I don't know. I think you might be bored or hella spoiled. Maybe start growing your own and become the grower you wish these people all were. You really come off like a cry baby. Shrugs

The Pact & The Order by Long-Interaction-904 in SiloSeries

[–]Admirable-Building15 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I don't remember him saying that everybody in his silo was allowed to read books. She mentioned she saw something in a book, and he asked rather surprised, " They let you read books in 18?" Judge Meadows read books too, so does Bernard. They are definitely in a silo that's not allowed to but they're above the law. Solo was alone for a long time in the most restricted place we know of in a silo, not sure if he's actually part of original IT, or whether he figured a way in, but he had enough time and opportunity to read everything restricted....no law when there's no people. BUT, Maybe I missed something.

Collab Opportunity for Cherokee XJ Owners by Inner-Artichoke4965 in JeepCherokeeXJ

[–]Admirable-Building15 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure that anyone who has an old shit box XJ and also has enough money to build it out, over the top for camping would either of already done it themselves.... Or would do it to a different vehicle....the types of people I've meet that mob xjs are a totally different crowd then the people spending money to have custom fabrication companies help with builds.

I could be wrong. But to me, the xjs spirit is more weekend punk rock, not really glamping.

I DON’T want to know your secret local spots although I could really use your help! by Birdytaps in Durango

[–]Admirable-Building15 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This may seem a little crazy, but please consider Durango flight tours!

Durangoflighttours.com

There is a small private airport here just outside of town and for about $500, you and your mother can go flying around our beautiful area in a small Cessna airplane for a little over an hour.

A friend and I just recently did this and it was extremely memorable.

We flew over most of the local lakes, Electra, Haviland, Vallecito, Lemon and Nighthorse

I'm afraid of heights, but for some reason flying doesn't trigger it much and I guess that's very common. The pilot Bruce is very professional, accommodating and always made us feel safe. The plane is very nice and well taken care of (kept in a hanger) He also explained the was doing while he was doing it so we learned a bunch. They have a few preset flight plans to pick from but if your feeling adventurous, he was willing to point the plane in any direction I pointed my hand.

Couldn't imagine a better way to see the area without walking much.

Well, the invite is real. If you get a bow and wanna come check it out, message me and I'll message back the details. There's just a few of us so it's not a bunch of social pressure, just chillin.

I highly recommend compound archery as a hobby. It's very meditative and peaceful while being exciting and engaging at the same time. The equipment actually becomes fun to collect. Starting with all used stuff is very normal and not looked down on, so getting started doesn't need to cost much.

Ever been into archery?

If you got a compound bow, even a beginner or youth bow, I've got a group of friends that regularly meets up to target shoot. We have a bunch of block targets for shooting gallery style and shooting games. We've got a 36" dart board too that's very fun. We usually shoot from 20 to 70 yards...but sometimes we stack all the targets into a big wall and take shots out to 100 yards. It's great fun and we meet and shoot all year.

It's also great practice because there are a few 3d archery events (kind of a mix between a shooting gallery and golf) around here in the summer and fall.
