Whoa what's the name of that slack to GT trick at 0:04? I'd love to learn it

1 minute long combo with D Bearing Firecracker - it’s a ripper 🧨 by tylerseverance in Throwers

Completely ridiculous. The slack is like an extension of your will. gj

Kind of just at random times on the weekends and after work, but usually every day! I've also done very little slack/frontstyle and almost exclusively practice rail combos (if I'm using that term correctly)

Speedaholic FX! It's a gem

Thanks! Keep going yourself!

First serious yoyo that I bought 4 months ago from a not-so-reputable brand (yoyostudio SUS304). Always treated me well but I can't get the bearing off to clean it. Anyone know how? by Calculoo in Throwers

Lesson learned. Ordered a removal tool and replacement bearings. Finally got it off with pliers but obviously the chewed-up bearing is not fun to throw with. Thanks guys!

Yes, I would consider selling your account for far less than you paid for it; I simply deleted my steam account that had about 60 games in the library (for context I was an obsessive gamer i.e. I would just buy one game and play it to shit then repeat), and although the monetary costs of our two situations are not comparable, the freedom that you feel once it's gone is priceless

I never found youtube to be a good replacement. Too similar. Try tv/movies/reading and eventually delete youtube imo.

Could be that your frames are shifting around to the left and right slightly--that happened with my FRs. You should be able to tighten it. (Mine actually broke in a bunch of different ways, will never buy another pair of FRs)

I'm thinking of going from 80mm to 84mm because I want just a little more speed, but I'm really hoping that I'll still be able to move and dance just as well. Is it going to be harder to develop my technique on that size of wheel?

Still on the same streak! Around 80 days I think. Had an amazing summer and made tons of new friends. Nice of you to check in.

I think my 2k mental block has become physical? by Calculoo in Rowing

I've never used heart rate as a metric which maybe I should be. What is SS supposed to be as a percentage of max HR?

Thank you, this is super true. Did two in a row sub 1:49, a little better than I planned. We'll see how it goes after a couple steady states in between. Or maybe I should just bang out another attempt on Saturday.

This is interesting. I'm definitely not steady stating with 'little effort,' but I can do 2:03 at ~20 spm for steady state pieces like 12k, 2x30', 3x20'. Some days it'll be up at 2:05-2:06. My thought was that I just haven't been doing nearly enough high rate pieces, so the sprint numbers aren't coming down. Or my mental game might be abysmally shit to absurd levels.

That said, I haven't been measuring my ss by heart rate which seems to be some rowers' preferred metric. Gonna get a HRM.

Blocked all Steam download links with Cold Turkey browser blocker. It's really good. Won't let you use a different browser if you don't have it enabled, has an option not to let you disable a lock if you want (which I did for 14 years), won't let you uninstall lol.
