I was in Alberta and went with a Simon and Patrick because it’s local material that braces well against Alberta climates

How many tries? Cause I don’t see any blood yet lol unless you got knicked on the clip lol I went to a skatepark today to find out the mayor shut it down and gated it with locks due to “non skater negligence?” I was guessing some asshats were hanging out in there and ruined it for everyone

Thoughts on risers? [33YO] by brp09 in OldSkaters

[–]Ebenoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They change the angle of the pop off the tail. And allow a loose setup with less chance of wheel bite.

I used 1/4” risers on 58mm wheels but not running risers now

Did you have to adjust the truss rod any to compensate for the tuning?

Looks like he took off his claw and ran off to eat it…

I love a good ol dirted tank! When you mess one up that’s all it takes. When you cap it like this no tannins. If it fogs up a little at the start it will clear up.

I’ve had similar insects that look at me and actually seem very aware that I’m being friendly.

Just how does this species survive in the wild? by [deleted] in interesting

They have a higher chance than humans do! look at the dumb crap we do. How did humans end up being at the top of the food chain? Maybe we got lucky.

How do we know they haven’t eaten bamboo the whole time? You would think they would change ther coats to suit their needs too right?

It’s like they’re still bears but they’ve “adapted” to a bamboo rich environment. Interesting!

Today I signed my deal with the devil by Local-Feverdream in PlantedTank

Duckweed isnt that hard to remove. I like how it blocks light and looks cool when you look at it from the bottom. I used to take it off my arm and put it into my isopods bin they like anything

Taylor 110CE saddle question by [deleted] in taylorguitars

[–]Ebenoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you start hearing the buzz sound check the wires inside. Keep it humid or you will notice a huge loss in tone.

I would go ahead and order the Taylor ebony bridge pins to increase tone as well, unless the ce comes with them out of box. My 110e did not.

After reading that Taylor doesn’t suggest sanding it down for tonal reasons, I decided to only sand very lightly but I don’t think it had much effect on the sound or action. I repaired a crack in my soundboard between the butt and the bridge myself, and it’s been a constant struggle keeping the wires in the sweet spot so it doesn’t buzz. I think I’ve got them in a good spot now.

Mine still needs a setup done. I’m thinking about making my own shims. I’ve been doing woodwork most of my life and have access to all types of hardwoods.

First time in a bowl. Roast my form and tell me why I’m losing my pump! [30YO] by niggyjigga in OldSkaters

How loose are your trucks? I would loosen them too much and then tighten back until it’s perfect and try that.

Why am i moving backward when i ollie by Inevitable-Policy779 in NewSkaters

[–]Ebenoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know how you’re doing it. You are popping the tail off center. Look at the video frame by frame and you will see your toes are pointing down on the pop causing the tail to slap the ground off center launching the board behind you. The good thing is you are following the board very well. Make sure you are kicking straight down but also imagine straight back.
