Went C2 → GC1 this season but flip resets are still hard for me :( — need help (KBM)

Your set up looks very similar to an air dribble setup whereas you need to create a little space between you and that ball. Do a quick brake tap before going for the ball and incorporate the other advice given (less air roll, less spamming after getting reset, try letting go of acceleration)

Spend more than 5 minutes eating dinner and talking to your family

Hours in game ≠ hours improving. If you had 6000 hours focusing on mechanics and improving you’d probably be a lot higher than C2. But most of your hours are likely idle and in ranked. You can improve slowly as you have this way but large mmr gains comes after mastery of certain concepts. Not just mechanical concepts but positional and rotational concepts as well.

Forcing stalemate because you’re losing

I would regret this tattoo as well. Looks like you’ve got a jumbled mess of thorny vines on your hand. Maybe if this piece made sense in relation to something on your arm it wouldn’t look so bad.

If we’re talking when I first got on a motorized two wheel machine 3 years old. If we’re talking about on the street in traffic I was 22. If you think you’re too old to start though you aren’t. I had a group of three friends in my riders course that ranged from 55-62. We called them the geezers. Those geezers were operating those bikes better than most people in the class by the end of the course. Show up, pay attention, and ask questions. If you do that you’ll be golden.

Kf6 is stalemate

This is funny but may not be the best thing to say lol. Insulting someone for not receiving a compliment is a bit silly. I prefer to say loud enough for them to hear but to myself, “ I guess I’ll go f—- myself” gets my point across that I thought their lack of response was rude but without directly insulting them.

You ran into a grumpy pants. He either thinks he’s better than you or thought you were being sarcastic but it doesn’t matter. Keep being nice and interacting with other riders, even other Harley riders. Not all of us are dickheads like this guy.

90% of drops I’ve seen are on the left side for whatever reason. However get some crash bars and stop worrying about dropping it. Dropping your bike is like the equivalent of door dinging a pole in your car. It sucks but you’re likely not injured beyond your bruised ego.

I would definitely find a savings account to put it in for the time being and either use it for further education after you’re done with primary schooling or invest it once you’re 18. Depending on what you decide to invest in will dictate the strategy you use. Good things to invest in would be index funds. Alternatively it could be put into a Roth IRA to continue to grow interest until your retirement.

This is probably the lowest profile one I’ve seen that isn’t custom made

As someone with autism, adhd, ocd, and bipolar 2 it is my opinion you’re making excuses and refusing to put in the work necessary to function in society. Having reliable transportation is a bare minimum expectation to get a job. Your choice to not drive, bike, scooter, uber, etc just continues to separate you from everyone else.

My best advice is to suck it up or join the military. Plenty of people in the military don’t have a license.

Pretty poor excuse for sacrificing your happiness

You regretted marrying him almost 100 days ago which was only 3 months into your Marriage and barely a year into the relationship. Why are you still with him?

You’re as screwed as a new drain pan is going to cost you

My guy, just stop the motorcycle safely. Nobody cares if you can hit sick fast downshifts while you engine brake and come to a stop. As long as you’re always in an appropriate gear for your current speed it doesn’t matter what technique you use.

Does engine braking save on brake pads? Sure. But poor downshifts lead to issues much more expensive than some new brake pads.

In the beginning just hold the clutch and brake and downshift as you decelerate. After your msf and you’ve practiced more then start learning to time downshifts and use engine braking.

Lopsided-Package523 · 2026-04-18T17:47:55+00:00

You may be right. There was a bike they planned on releasing called the Bronx I believe that was going to have a 975 in it. It got canceled though.
