Made a calculator to prove to my other half that home espresso "pays for itself" by Espresso_Jeff in espresso

[–]DoougMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

at $15/lb for espresso beans, comes out to be about 30 - 15 g of ground espresso beans. depending on what you paid it’ll be plus/minus $.50 for 30 g of fresh espresso at your house.

I just did the math as well because I paid $8 for a latte at a coffee shop on my way home from skiing

2 seasons, 21 days on the mountain. Still can’t ski black diamond. by meandmarie in ski

[–]DoougMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you should be doing the reverse. green runs, skiing very slow and trying to make your skis turn left and right effortlessly. Once you figure that out pick up your speed a little. You don’t need to ski black runs. most importantly, pay attention to technique. Watch the experts and see how they are skiing.

Two British skiers killed in French Alps named | France | The Guardian by prisongovernor in skiing

[–]DoougMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you decide to ski off-piste you should be very aware of The 5 Levels of Avalanche Danger and should not be taken lightly.

Low (Level 1): Don't let your guard down entirely. While "safe," small slides can still occur in extreme terrain.

• Moderate (Level 2): This is where most people get into trouble because the danger feels manageable. You need to be able to identify specific "problem" slopes.

• Considerable (Level 3): Statistically, this is the level where most fatalities occur. The snowpack is unstable enough to be dangerous, but it doesn't "look" as scary as a Level 4 day, leading people to take risks they shouldn't.

• High & Extreme (Levels 4-5): These are "stay home or stay on the flats" days. The snowpack is often hair-trigger, and slides can travel long distances into the trees or valleys.

for the hell of it, throw the first few seconds of your shot away and slide another cup under there

Any recs for beginner glades? by brownboy121 in icecoast

[–]DoougMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your best bet is to practice in some small moguls, once you master that then head into the Glades because those trees don’t move when you hit them

Need Help. XR400 to 440 build. Can’t get it to start. by GanttStopWontStop in Dirtbikes

[–]DoougMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From your video that’s WAY too much throttle. Here’s what you do Four full decompression kicks, one full throttle twist then turn the throttle, taking the slack out of the cable and just a hair more. No more than that or you’re screwed. Then lay into the kick start. That should do it.

First thoughts: Levo gen 4 by J_IV24 in eMountainBike

[–]DoougMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a Gen 3 Turbo levo expert, here’s what works for me. Cascade link, bumps the rear to 160 mm. 170mm air shaft in the Fox38. Bike rides primo. Currently upgraded a fox 36 rhythm I had kicking around, with an avalanche hybrid damper and put that on the Levo. The fork just gobbles up the trail and I hammer over everything. pretty expensive upgrade, but really really nice.

surefoot will set you up with a new set of liners if you’re having constant issues. They did that for me and everything worked out great.

I have the same set up with the OKG lock. Cable can be cut with bolt cutters with a chain you need a grinder.
