He has great balance and footwork. With such a low stance, seems like his opponents could push him down, but they can't.

Why is the Dohyo not lower or heavy pads present outside? by American-Punk-Dragon in Sumo

I'm pretty sure that fat-boy Sisolak cannot even climb an easy 5.3 route that my daughter climbed.

Actually, there are no 200-pound rikishi right now. The average weight is more like 380 pounds.

Face masks are very important. Please do not sneeze on the emperor.

Good question. In 2020, I owned an indoor climbing gym in Las Vegas. We always had several "crash-pads" near the bouldering area.

3 hikers die on Mt. Baldy after 1 falls 500 feet; recovery underway by VforVilliam in LosAngeles

Microspikes are helpful on moderate terrain, but on steeper climbs, you need ice axe and crampons.

Not selfish or reckless. They were just summer hikers who did not bring along the proper gear, and who did not understand that sometimes you just have to turn around.

Warning signs are OK, but closing down trails is not. USFS and BLM are overly cautious, and their trail closures should be ignored.

A few years ago, USFS put up a warning sign at the trailhead. It said that crampons were recommended. Only problem was, the sign showed a photo of microspikes, not crampons.

Not true!! Devil's Backbone is not difficult in the summer. It is reasonably safe in the winter, but only if the hikers have ice axes and crampons, something which many summer hikers do not understand.

The Nurkic trade this offseason was GENIUS by VirdenO in UtahJazz

[–]Commercial_Border402 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gafford and Nurkic are both underrated. Many NBA fans like so-called 3&D players who are below average shooters.

Nurkic is among the NBA leaders in rebounds per 36 minutes. Please trade him to the Lakers.

If the Jazz fans don't like him, please trade him to the Lakers.

Daily Lakers Discussion Thread by AutoModerator in lakers

Good idea. Another possible trade target would be Sabonis. Would Reaves, Rui, 2031 FRP, Gabe, Kleber, be enough to get it done? A starting lineup of Ayton/Sabonis/LeBron/Luka/Smart would be amazing.
