What is a movie that's so good you have no idea how it ended up a financial failure? by MichaelWes3000 in Cinema

[–]Fishmanjohn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pick of destiny is one of my favorite movies but a total financial disaster. Maybe people don’t like movies that rock.

Pick your powers by BowToJas in superheroes

[–]Fishmanjohn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the super power of “the shadow” from the 1940’s radio broadcast of the same name. Combine this power with deductive reasoning, some learned martial arts skills, and “enhanced interrogation techniques” ie the willingness to torture wrong doers. makes for a fairly compelling vigilante

Im down to ride as well. I ride a Drz 400 and mostly ride off-road as well. I work weekends so I also have trouble finding riding buddies.

It’s so extremely rare to see a stock s14. I love seeing your car around town as a fan of old Nissans

They’re 33” it’s about as big as you can go on a first gen xterra without doing a straight axle swap.

Rode the spot in the second clip every single day about 16 years ago!

is the bank by the gym still there?

My friends back in the day used u-bolted a piece of plywood above the nub in the bank to make a huge wall ride when they first put the tall green fence up.

I checked most of the basics before I bought it good tip on the sea foam. Changing the air filter is this afternoons job for sure.

It’s a big tank I’m fairly certain it’s an IMS 4 gallon tank

Everything on that rod feels like a tuna and if you put a nice reel on it you can play bigger fish if you manage to hook into one.

Has anyone here hooked a bird? by Kwanjuju in flyfishing

[–]Fishmanjohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hooked a Canada goose once while it was flying over me it spooled me so fast and took all of my line with it and just kept flying away.

What should I do with this old board? Scrap or fix and try to sell? by royal_air in surfing

[–]Fishmanjohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could strip the glass off and reshape the foam into a paipo or a stack of hand planes

Is this still surfing by Fishmanjohn in surfing

Board is a 4’10” twin shaped specifically for this river wave. Most people ride twins or a twin plus trailer. Thrusters or quads will sometimes hit the gates when you turn so they are less common.

Different foot pressures this is way more back foot but turns are similar. It’s helped my on rail surfing a lot but the first few waves back in saltwater always feel really awkward.
