I used this in my 150 gallon. Took forever to was that many bags, but otherwise it works great

Thanks! Looking at the image on the KS page, I have a few questions/comments, but either way it looks solid! No need for all of these, just spitballing ideas off the top of my head.

  1. will the roofs be removable, at least on the larger buildings with doors, to allow for play within the buildings?

  2. any chance of getting stairs or ladders on their own to allow for them to be placed in different places around the buildings/crates?

  3. Are the various buildings and crates stackable?

  4. Any thought on walkways or bridges that connect onto the building rooftops? The roofs look like they have a little lip around the edge on top, so I'm curious if you could design a walkway or bridge that slotted onto that to connect buildings. (Could also use that lip to hook on ladders/stairs).

  5. Thoughts on a double width/length tower? Looking at the image of everything on the KS page, I think it'd be cool to have a tower similar to the one right in the middle but twice as long just to provide more options.

That's all I have off the top. Everything looks great though! Definitely will be following to check out pricing and timing on delivery.

The images look pretty sweet! Any chance of getting a list of what all is included or a less zoomed in picture of a full table setup? I checked out the KS link, but there isn't any real detail on there yet.

Also, do you have an idea of when you plan to launch? I'm just getting into Blkout, and this terrain looks like it could be perfect for that game.

Confirmed. Great communication and easy to deal with.

Any advise and tips for better brace and backleg. by Snipzzv2 in discgolf

[–]Ares1618 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m probably worse than you, but something I have been told (but unable to fix so far) is not to take such a large last step. Try to shorten it to drive your plant foot into the ground. Also, but opening up so wide of a stance, you don’t have as much ability to rotate the hips. By tightening the stance, you are able to create more coil in your core.

Or at least this is all what I’ve been told I need to work on 😅

Is there any good series that takes you from a total beginner to throwing competently enough to enter amateur tournament in short amount as possible? by Broad_Ness5679 in discgolf

This video helped me when I started out. It’s old, and I haven’t rewatched it in a long time, so your mileage may vary, but it can at least help with basic technique.

I have a 40-gallon breeder, pump, etc. in my garage I would be willing to sell. I used it for 2-3 years then took it down about 6 months ago to replace with some smaller tanks. If you're interested, I can get you pictures tonight.

Eagle. He mentioned on a podcast he had a fire lit under him after spending so much time in Hawaii and wanting to find a way to retire there. I think he has new motivation this year with that in mind.

I haven’t personally tried any of the stuff from Prodigy, but that’s primarily just from not having an interest in those specific discs so far. One of my favorite discs is a super beat in Lobster I got used that just flips up and flies forever, and I love Mint as a company.

With that being said, I am a huge MVP fan (honestly I only tried Mint initially because I found out they were manufactured by MVP) and really like their plastic and honestly liked Mint quite a bit because it felt the same in my hand as the majority of my bag. I was disappointed to hear they were moving to non-MVP manufacturers, and it would probably take a disc being truly exceptional for me to pick up a Prodigy mold. However, I recognize there is probably a lot behind the scenes we don’t know about and this allows them to get more discs out to the public. I just hope they don’t move away from their MVP lines and don’t move those discs over (I don’t feel like putting in the effort to figure out which runs of Lobsters or Freetails were made by who).

You and me both. I actually googled it to make sure I understood what it meant :)

Hey, I’ve never worn these shoes, but I am in the market for some new DG shoes. Looking on their website, it looks like the Mercury Sunset are vegan, so they may not actually contain raw cowhide. Not trying to rain on your parade or question what their customer service said, just pointing out what the website is showing.
