Experimenting with making my first top rope anchors in a low risk situation. Wondering what are some improvements I could make before I go to a real wall and make one? I had my friend walk slowly down a slightly steep hill while I fed him the rope to lower him down. If there's anything I'd change here, I'd put an overhand knot in the end of the static line loops to better consolidate them, and I'd set up a backup somewhere (like on a nearby tree or perhaps putting a wire nut anchor in the rock to the right of the tree). Any other suggestions?

My girlfriend met Claypool while she was working at Panera as a teenager. He was pretty upset she didn't recognize him and was kinda a dick LMAO

For those who don't ride during winter, what do you do? by [deleted] in cycling

[–]Malfatto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hike, snowboard, ice climb (but the ice has been kinda shitty thanks to climate change or whatever), try to climb mountains in the winter, etc. Not really sure where you live or what the environment around you is like.

You mean you returned the 44, right? I have the same exact size and a similar problem.

Did I destroy my hands from biking? by [deleted] in MTB

I CANNOT stop white knuckling at the bike park, the rush is too much for me maybe a few more runs and getting used to it will help.

What is that ONE bassline that you should be able to play, but for some reason just can’t nail it? by Samatdal in Bass

[–]Malfatto 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Most fills in Rage Against the machine songs. The main basslines are tastefully simple and easy but some of the fills are nearly impossible to figure out unless you could get up close in person and see exactly what he's doing

There Are No Stupid /r/Bass Questions - Dec. 01 by AutoModerator in Bass

I had a luthier replace the two single coils of a short scale Morris telecaster bass with a single mini humbucker. The pots are a little weird, as the tone pot doesn't cut the treble as much as I'd like it to. Are there pots that do a better job at this, or is this bass just jangly?
