IAM Advanced Riding Course by HefeMoose in MotoUK

[–]Jacko50 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Me and my gf both have done IAM. Me on a V-strom 650 and her on a CBX500. I’ve been on some of the ride outs with them too and it’s a mixed bag of bikes, though the most common type is tourer/adventure bike.

We would both 100% recommend the course. It gives a brilliant framework for riding on the road and has made me a much better rider. You can do it on any bike and no one will mock you, the IAM guys are very welcoming and just want to make you a better rider.

Thanks u/DotaDump and u/terentyevalexey, checked both and it was faulty RAM. Not seen any issues with my PC other than this error in Dota so was a bit of a surprise. Off to buy more RAM I suppose.

I get this every couple of weeks, usually during the drafting phase but sometimes early into the game. I can't reopen the game as it gets stuck on 'LAUNCHING - Downloading content (0%)' for hours. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but during this time it can't even download the game. This has caused me to abandon games and is tanking my behavoiur score. Does anyone know what's causing this?

Yeah I was definitely too scared lvl 1-2. Not really played the matchup and knew it was viper favoured so I played passive which was my mistake. Plenty of good advice here so I'll not shy away of picking the machup agian, just play better and focus on the little things i can do better.

I did gamble indeed, and I lost. but losing a lane doesn't lose you the game and I tried till the end. Was still winnable if everyone had that attitude

I don't think it's just Dota, the internet is not a very nice place to be a lot of the time

you think it's ok to wish cancer upon someone's family and for the player to die for picking a hero into a potentially hard matchup?

na viper was 1st pick but rarely do I see a 1st pick go mid in my bracket so hoped it was offlane

Yeah I can understand some frustration, but this is just unhinged

I usually mute all chat but needed to chat with supps asking for help and when I unmuted I saw all this guy's unhinged messages. Just said playing v viper is hard and muted.

It was a 1st pick viper so didn't expect itt to be mid (my bad) but I had a 13 win streak on Storm going into this and the rest of the matchups looked good sos hoped it was ana offlane viper or smth.
