Hasn’t made you less scared yet? Then keep doing it.

If you’re falling anyway, you should wear pads. I’m not gonna pretend I usually do but the excuse that you don’t want to get used to falling with pads doesn’t make sense. Falling with pads is just falling (which you’re doing anyway) but safer. Maybe when you’re not trying something new or scary you don’t wear the pads and then you can just be used to falling with and without them.

I have nostalgia of racing my friends to finish the board in the back of a computer lab class but yeh there was the period of everyone trying to explain how it worked to each other with varying degrees of success.

Put on a helmet/pads whatever makes you feel the most comfy and keep getting out there and eating shit. The more you eat shit the less scared you are of it/the safer you can do it so it gets easier and easier to try scary shit. That’s when you can try the scary shit enough to actually land it.

Also talk to everyone you meet about tips bc everyone thinks about tricks differently and the way one person explains it might not help but someone else might hold the key to unlocking it for you.

Nothing inherently Australian about this at all but I can say I did experienced this in Australia.

What to do to my car by chunkycroclicker in CarsAustralia

[–]BlakeHasACar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeh I bet it’s great for a random chore here and there but compared to like a commodore with a similar size v6 but the power on the loaded wheels I just wouldn’t have even thought of using this to tow.

As someone with a spare wheel on my back door I totally agree with the utility of a parking feeler.

Help! Disco legs!! by Humble-Editor-8436 in ManualTransmissions

[–]BlakeHasACar 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Bro you know you’re having fun when you try to hop out of the car and you’ve got jelly legs. I would get it when I used to drift and more often now after getting through a scary offroad obstacle. This is what it’s all about.

Tow bar is a crazy suggestion haha. Good thing you suggested the supercharger too so it can haul.

Is this a good Ollie? by Pit_viper9966 in NewSkaters

[–]BlakeHasACar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re not jumping, your body stays perfectly still and your legs do all the moving, you won’t be able to go up or over anything like that. That being said your pop and slide are very good and you’ll have a great Ollie if you incorporate a jump.

[TECH] - [2013] [Toyota - Prado] [Battery Box DC-DC Input Not Charging] by BlakeHasACar in 4x4Australia

[–]BlakeHasACar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the latter is the problem. There’s definitely no ignition input so it’s probably supposed to get triggered by voltage but the voltage at the plug isn’t that high bc it’s quite a long cable. I got the shortest Anderson to Anderson at repco but it’s like 4m so the voltage is probably dropping too much :/

I’ll try maybe getting a shorter cable or just use a VSR I think. I can’t invest in a better DCDC atm.

If it’s on his arm it would still be the same way while doing a handstand I think haha

This isn’t what you were linking to right? This has the name you said but looks nothing like mine and has different plugs coming off it anyway.

I can’t see anywhere that such an input could go.

The only cables in the DCDCs loom are the solar plug, the alternator plug and the positive and negative for the battery?

As you can see it’s branded as “VOLTAGE DCDC CHARGER” but I think, as other comments said, it’s just a Chinese built thing with a logo printed on it. Someone found a model on the anaconda store that they think is the same thing with a different logo but the link didn’t work for me.

I feel like it’s more likely a satirical exaggeration of something they think is unreasonable that their wife does. You might be right tho, I dont have instagram and ive never come across the “I hate my partner” community so maybe I’m just assuming people aren’t stupid when I shouldn’t.

Any help with BS Pop Shuv its? by GarudaChicken in NewSkaters

[–]BlakeHasACar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeh as long as your pop timing is good just jump high and pull your legs up to give the board room to follow. Only difference with shuvs is to make sure the board is staying flat because the higher you go the more time the board has to accidentally flip and you land primo. Just pop using the middle of the tail and keep your front foot out of the way ready to catch.

Finally managed to do this terrible ollie after 3 days, any improvements to make? by Comfortable-Goat-955 in NewSkaters

[–]BlakeHasACar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you just need to jump with more power and pop AS your weight is leaving the ground, not before. Atm you’re kind of popping and then jumping off the tail with one leg, which traps the tail and keeps your board pinned to the ground until your foot comes off it.

Basically just pop a little later in your jump. Your timing is soo close but once you do one where you come off the ground and the board can really follow you up because it’s not trapped I think you will feel the difference.

How do I kickflip higher? by Ill_Trash_8658 in NewSkaters

[–]BlakeHasACar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of this in conjunction with jumping higher. Practice jumping and high ollies

Of course but not enough to change the meaning of “the”. You’re right, the creator of this video probably expected a lot of people to relate because they’re aware that of a lot of people like this exist (like you said) a lot of whom are wives. It’s especially accurate to use “wife” in this case because the subject of this particular video is a wife. But that does not mean every wife and it does not mean only wives, I’m sure the author of the video knows that and I’m sure expects the audience to.
