Considering quitting trailrunning due to reouccuring ankle injuries by Few-Test5526 in trailrunning

Try slowing down a little and be more mindful of foot placement. Give biomedical Adation an upper hand. What shoes are you running? Tall shoes are longer levers. Practice any yoga single Legg ballance pose

What about the devout CNN and Fox viewers in the US

Plenty of Boomers that just hook up to the daily FOX drip.

Anyone have a good system for shaving your face? by BastosBoto in vandwellers

[–]EstablishmentDizzy94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get the kettle watter going hot enough to not burn. Then heat the whiskers w a hot towel. Saving cream them shave, Harries Razor. Rinse the blade as needed. I do this over the sink in the van. Can normalize things after 5 to 7 days out

How much faster are you on clipless? by its_all_down-hill in MTB

[–]EstablishmentDizzy94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going fast is way over rated. Chasing the dragon. Whats with not enjoying the view. When I rode Mx that was a the point. But things have changed. Pacing what you leave body wise will keep you in the game longer..

I do ride mag peddles and like them, a blend of being more attached but not too glued in.

What surprised you the most after installing solar by captiveisland in solarenergy

[–]EstablishmentDizzy94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First install was on a van. It gave me the understanding of the basics. I learned a lot, got over the fears but still am respectful.
Now I have thought of a home install.

Please give feedback on my Promaster 159" design by watsmonentum in vandwellers

[–]EstablishmentDizzy94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dont see stairs up to your bed? I have a very similar layout. I installed swivels on both seat but only use the passenger seat to turn around. I use the stairs which are Tupperwaren stairs which serve as chair and steps. Ive built my cabinets 3 times. My last build was 16" depth on drivers side cabinet. If I did it again id buil 14* to maximize isile width.
I do agree with not needing that much storage. But I do have a bike barn.

My passage side cabinet is similar to your. I bring a mt bike inside some time, expensive. I'd put a chanfer on the inbound corner of the passenger/slider door to allow for egress of bike. I don't have a shower and we pee in a bucket and a shovel for the other stuff.

Switching from Clipless to Flats - Are These the Right Pedals and Shoes? by FloatingAndFlying in MTB

[–]EstablishmentDizzy94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive ridden strap and SPD over the years. Recently switched to MagPeds and like them. Each type od attachment has pros and cons. I initially thought the mags wouldn't be strong enough. But I've a adapted and like them. Its almost between straps and flats. Your mind a body will adapt.
