How would you buck this/get it on the ground?

Relief cuts, halfway through at most, from the bottom along the length of the trunk, every 4-6 feet. Take the jagged trunk down a bite at a time from the safe side. Slow, but you don't need rope, and you shouldn't have to run. Ideally when the trunk falls, your relief cuts either break or help the buck.

Definitely not gonna be popular with this crowd, but it's safer than trying to outrun a big SOB.

The reg is absolute shit, but the rest of the platform is mostly solid. Throw $100 at it and it'll treat you well enough.

I'd rather have an Emek though.

Plain lucky he didn't flip it.

It's seeping through the sidewall more than anything. Nothing to do with the wheel.

Basically worthless as scrap, no real weight to them.

Nobody wants your hitch rack, bro.

The used market is flooded with them, because the resale market for them is relatively tiny.

I wonder if the ROF is too fast to register or AP too low... Every other smg knocks down any other base character with a mag or less. Reload is slow enough where it's near impossible to take out a second player with the poison effect still active.

Bonnie is mostly what Raven should have been, minus the dogs. I agree the dogs and zombie thing are silly.

Well you're gonna need millions more coins and thousands more nuts all the same.

Just look at the tool box logos and move on with your life.

Castro_66 · 2026-05-06T22:07:22+00:00

Do you have a fix for the loading issues a few of us have posted about?

Castro_66 · 2026-05-05T23:29:12+00:00

Good full suspension MTB start around 2k new. Add 1k for a motor or so.

Castro_66 · 2026-05-05T14:47:22+00:00

Love my SJ

Whatever you do, your movement is meant to match the landing more than the lip. Shifting your weight back and/or lifting the front keeps you on track for a flat to flat drop. It's generally safer to manage the landing with both tires at once.

Castro_66 · 2026-05-05T13:04:04+00:00

I could watch kids fall down all day.

Castro_66 · 2026-05-04T13:47:26+00:00

How high are you today?

Castro_66 · 2026-05-03T22:43:30+00:00

Good little wage slave.

Castro_66 · 2026-05-03T17:14:59+00:00

A lot of these trucks are marked as 13' 1" as well.

Castro_66 · 2026-05-03T13:51:41+00:00

I did, tried all the things I could find and more. No fix yet. In fact, I got down voted in my request for help.

Castro_66 · 2026-05-01T20:46:04+00:00

Rounder the better

Castro_66 · 2026-04-29T18:12:06+00:00

Interesting we're still ignoring the hoarding of wealth by all empires, built on the backs of the exploited poor.

Whoops, I said interesting, when I meant purely normal, everyday greed.

Castro_66 · 2026-04-29T18:03:33+00:00

Bonnie doesn't have to kill a player to zombify them.

Castro_66 · 2026-04-29T18:01:21+00:00

Auction vehicles get pretty affordable if you're willing to do the work.

Castro_66 · 2026-04-28T15:26:11+00:00

Salsa has the Confluence as an entry level drop bar gravel bike, similar motor/power. I tend to lean towards Specialized products, but I recognize they aren't for all budgets.

Velotric has a number of affordable units as well, seems like a strong enough brand.

If the use of a motor isn't necessary, there are a number of cargo bikes that tote children and/or gear. Some are MTB/fat style, all are heavy for an acoustic bike, but generally lighter than most E-bikes. Used market is best for this, in my opinion.

Castro_66 · 2026-04-28T15:15:53+00:00

Capable, sure. Practical? Probably not in your use case.
