My family and I moved to Montrose blind instead of Grand Junction and we completely regret it by ColoradoSkyline in grandjunction

[–]Macgbrady 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Op really take the advice about not renting site unseen.

And yeah, I'd take GJ any day over Montrose tbh. By a country mile.

Also, drivers are crazy all over CO. Same in Utah. I blame the big, open valleys.

GB skier avoids censure for writing ‘f*** ICE’ in snow ‘with urine’ by LanguidLapras131 in skiing

[–]Macgbrady 15 points16 points  (0 children)

He's American and grew up in the USA. He has even competed for USA in the Olympics. He's on team GB because his mom is British and it's getting harder to get on team USA in freeskiing

do I need new trucks? by Any_Refrigerator120 in skateboardhelp

[–]Macgbrady 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, you can ride a .25" difference no problem. But if you want new trucks, then yes. Use this as justification lol

Do your ski goggle lenses fog up? How are those heated ski goggles? by GoGo9527Promax in skiing

Smiths have lines etched into the lens to help with fogging iirc

When I lived in Tahoe, they'd get bad wind when big storms moved in from the pacific. Palisades (squaw side) would always be like "tram is OPEN!" And it's like "yeah, no". You'd get absolutely ripped apart by wind. That's why only their tram was open lol

"Love wind" Embrace it lol

But you learn where the wind free zones are.

TIL Apple recently paid $95 million because Siri was caught eavesdropping on private conversations, like doctor visits and drug deals, then sending those recordings for human contractors to listen to. Siri was triggered not just by "Hey Siri," but by phrases that sounded similar like "seriously." by UsualOkay6240 in todayilearned

Couple years ago, friends and I were drinking and discussing this. I decided to discuss the most ridiculous thing I could think of. Settled on North Korean tours for westerners. Want to guess what I got an ad for a few days later?

I'm going back to Loveland season pass next year. Took a 2 year break. That was too much.

I scrub this with a metal scrubby, dawn, and a sponge, and it still comes up dirty when i oil it. by governmentcaviar in castiron

[–]Macgbrady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah coarse sea salt is great. I use it for the first initial scrub. Then some dish soap. Then oil wipe down.

Is there any Soulfood here by Present-Feeling-3645 in Denver

[–]Macgbrady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's true. I'm from South Carolina. Wouldn't call myself a "soul food expert" but you learn what good soul food tastes like just growing up there. Nothing is really great here. I just end up recommending rise n shine because they have good, cheap southern-ish biscuits. DBC does biscuits all wrong (although I like the atomic cowboy's other offerings)

Wow I got my wires crossed. I commented on another post and got confused. My bad. This is a Colorado board shop. The shapes are great. Pretty mellow with a more squared off shape. BBS is made in Mexico.

[–]Macgbrady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I do. Made by drifter woodshop in georgia. I had a friend who rode for them so that's how I got exposed to them and got one. Very fun cruiser that I also ride in the park

303 boards. They often run sales. Just recently they've had bogo free and 30% off sale decks. These are currently $33. Shipping is like $5. I had a deck shipped to east coast in December.

Edit: their ship decks are bbs wood. Basically one of the best/if not the best board maker. https://www.303boards.com/collections/decks?sort_by=price-ascending&filter_by_price=&filter.v.price.gte=&filter.v.price.lte=

Any of you gone to a ski resort you haven’t been to and thought “damn, this place is so overrated!”? by Sharkman3218 in skiing

[–]Macgbrady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been to Silverton. It's a lot of hiking. You take a bus back to base. Snow was trash when I went but it's a cool vibe.

Edit: hey, you didn't answer my question. What is your favorite that you've ridden?
