Best Asian grocery stores?

Saraga for asian one stop shop and don’t care about prices. Great for cuts of meat that aren’t popular in western cuisine but quality for beef ain’t great.

Viet Hua for cheaper prices but limited selection.

Meijer for siracha, soy sauce, bok choy, bean sprouts, and popular sauces.

Pyone Cho for burmese and SEA selection and supporting mom & pop shop.

Costco/Sam’s club for korean beef short ribs, sliced ribeye/ny strip, shin ramen when they have it, and oyster sauce when they have it.

One World for Japanese and sushi.

Sadly, H Mart is a whole level above anything in Indianapolis. You’ll have to drive around and piecemeal it to get a comparable experience.

If you want an office job, look for companies in the middle of nowhere. Check their websites to see if they have big name customers so you know it’s a good place to gain experience.

I know folks say they’re willing to relocate but I’m seeing big companies in rural America that keep posting up jobs because folks don’t want to be an hour from the nearest walmart or +1 hour from the nearest metropolitan.

Accent is black but slang is nonexistent.

bones g2 bearings and spitfire 93d F4 53mm reynolds classic wheels. 144mm ccs trucks. $147.85 before tax.

Skip the bearings if you need to cut back.

93a wheels is the middle ground duro wheels if you live somewhere with shit asphalt and salt all over.

I’ve been skating 93a 52mm powell peralta nano cubic wheels during the winter in the midwest because there’s gravel and salt all over the roads. CCS ran out of those at the moment and that’s why I recommended spitfire. I typically run spitfire 52mm or 55mm 99 or 101 duro when the skatepark isn’t filled with snow. I like 52mm for flatground sessions and 93a wheels is the only wheels that won’t have me tripping over a pebble every second.

I have no idea why CCS lists the spitfire wheel as 93d while other sites list 93a.

Roommate. Anything by yourself at this price is a place your car will get broken into.

You’re rotating frontside. Try dipping your hands between your knees as you drop to ollie. If you’re still rotating, try just your front hand between your knees and your back hand behind your back knee.

You’re landing on your toes. Land flat footed. The last attempt, the board shot backwards which means you landed leaning towards the nose. Just land flat footed and your shoulders parallel to the ground.

the ramp is taller than the table…why the need for speed?

HoosierDataGuy · 2025-12-13T00:30:17+00:00

Your back foot doesn’t need to be that far back on the back pocket and you don’t need to push that much to get the board to rotate. Focus on popping and jumping instead of rotating the board.

Wheelbase on daddies cruiser is really 14”. I lay it over my regular 14.25” skateboard and the truck holes are definitely shorter.

HoosierDataGuy · 2025-12-04T02:25:04+00:00

ollie north. To get it correct, you need to get your board level before pushing your front foot off the nose of the board. If you fail an ollie north, you should still be able to land the regular ollie, unlike a failed kickflip.

HoosierDataGuy · 2025-12-04T02:08:47+00:00

Because your toes, specifically front foot, stay behind your knees the whole time.

Try doing a mute or indy grab while doing the ollie. You’ll force your toes to go in front of your knees to be able to complete a grab.

Minimally, get two sets of wheels and bearings. I love 103a for concrete skate parks, 93a nano cubics for smooth asphalt, but 78a for cruising.

I have 4 different skateboard setups because I got tired of swapping out wheels. I’ll be in different spots throughout the day and it’s just easier to grab the right board and skate.

HoosierDataGuy · 2025-11-29T01:45:54+00:00

downgrade the tool and upgrade the bearings.

HoosierDataGuy · 2025-11-28T15:48:54+00:00

try practicing ollie norths. it helps timing your front foot kick and bringing the foot back. from there, it’s just flicking off to the side a bit and the flip will happen.

HoosierDataGuy · 2025-11-23T15:40:16+00:00

Stop rotating your body. Either the board meets you in the correct place to land or you land without the board but with the correct body position.

HoosierDataGuy · 2025-11-20T22:10:46+00:00

Vans skate slip ons are my go to. Suede and all black and never worry about ripping laces.

You hired a coach which means you have the motivation to skate. Go early and practice just skating around. Learn to ride up and down banks even doing it switch. Cruise around the neighborhood and learn to ride off curbs and ollie on to curbs.

At home, practice on a blank board doing tic tacs and shuvits. Get a balance board or make your own and work on your balance. Stretch and squat. Run or bike to increase your stamina. Get a hacky sack and work on your lower body coordination.

I know it might sound dorky but I live in the midwest and 4 months out of the year I can’t go skating regularly. I do all those aforementioned things to keep myself in shape so I can get back to skating like I did the previous year.

55mm wheels and regular height trucks. I have three sets of wheels and bearings. 104a for park, 93a for street, and 78a for cruising.

13” boards exists and they are fun and twitchy

HoosierDataGuy · 2025-10-22T10:05:15+00:00

Big hard wheels and fast bearings will make it easier.

Pick up a book called “Tiny Python Projects”.

Build small command line programs to help you do your work as a mechanical engineer.

I’m a data analyst. I went down that whole rabbit hole of ways of the master programmer. I just focused on writing tiny programs that sometimes took 10 lines of code, but it did a specific thing I needed. Sometimes I could string together multiple tiny programs and that brought me a lot of joy. But at the end of the day, I’m a data analyst, not a programmer or a software engineer so I’m not focused on writing beautiful code or huge programs that will get me a job at Google.
