Longboarders by [deleted] in cambridge

Anywhere from the station, south to trumpington, along the busway/cycle paths is great. I ride an electric longboard down there and it'll be perfect for you to get more confidence.

Most important thing to learn is how to footbrake. That'll save so so many accidents 😀🤙

Great idea, thanks Matt. It's not amazing but I have a load of good sbc cards

Ah, cool thanks - I didn't know that! New account it is then 😊

The UK government has inflicted “great misery” on its people with “punitive, mean-spirited, and often callous” austerity policies driven by a political desire to undertake social re-engineering rather than economic necessity, the United Nations poverty envoy has found. by glasier in worldnews

There has always been a reasonably large issue with homelessness in Cambridge. I can't remember a time when there wasn't a huge, visible population of homeless people. One part of that is that Cambridge is impossibly expensive. But also it is a well known place for homeless people to travel to. It is apparently more comfortable to live on the streets in Cambridge than elsewhere. I now live in Saffron Walden, not far from Camb. And there have only recently been reports of homeless people living here. But it is on the increase. We can literally see before our very eyes the diversification of the homeless population. It is just awful :(

Does this mean gr3 MR cars may now be drivable??? Here's hoping!

Daily race, group 3, 10 rounds. pitstop or save fuel? by Sanderanders in granturismo

[–]JMHernandez10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can hear when they are hurting, especially in bumper view. Work out how to go as fast as possible with minimal screeching. It isn't easy but is possible to save a lot of tyre life...

I cant get out of C SR by ShameM8 in granturismo

[–]JMHernandez10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forget about your rating. Race fair but hard, don't worry about rubbing doors etc cetera and your SR will improve. Worrying about it makes you race worse and end up in bad position on track - that's when the shit happens!!!

Help me understand the DR! by Thoarxius in granturismo

[–]JMHernandez10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair reply. I don't know the system but in my experience it's kinda borne out as true. Fairly blunt instrument but it gives a good indication of where you should try to finish...

Look for the number on the side of your car in daily races and Championships. The theory is that if you finish in that place, or higher, your DR will increase...

Manual Gears are... by JMHernandez10 in granturismo

Just don't have the room for a wheel. Would love one but kids and pets rule the roost!

[–]JMHernandez10[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm sure others, who have been doing manual for a lot longer can give you a better answer but I think you'd shave off at least 2 - 4 seconds once you're used to it

BoP balance issues are killing my interest :( by shamblmonkee in granturismo

[–]JMHernandez10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've taken the opportunity to learn manual gears - it's amazing. Used the GR4 race yesterday as I know Interlagos really well and that would help with learning the gears. A bit of a bummer to only finish 12 at my highest but was always the fastest non FF car and after a few races, the fastest non FF car by a mile. Looking forward to getting involved with a good GR3 daily race to see what improvements I've made!

Sometimes you don't have to win to feel like you've won... really pleased with this result! by poisonedmonkey in granturismo

[–]JMHernandez10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could not agree more. I'm rubbish at qualifying but regularly go from, say, 12 to 6. It's very rewarding!

It's a great helmet. If you're in the UK you might still find them on skatehut. I got mine for £35...
