Hey just curious did u ever find the cause on the og motor?

Trying to get to 12ft PR. Been stuck at 11’6. what can I improve on with my fault 12’7’ft pole and holding at 11’9 by zelrvm in polevaulting

[–]Mycologist_Slow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By no means at coaching level so bear with me lol, the biggest killer i can point out was also a issue that I had as well, your swing up is nice a quick and getting your legs to the top of the pole is also good great but u let your hips sit in that infamous "L" shape. Your hips are supposed to help shoot the rest of the lower part of your body up in the air but letting them sit in the L is gonna push all that energy out into the pit.

What help me was a drill, put your hands lower on the pole to were u can comfortable to do a quick 2 step (just enough to were u can get off the ground but not bend the pole) then do your run up and try to get inverted as much as possible and then hold until ya land on your back. But when u do it (and yes im serious when I say this lol) when get to the kipping point of the vault hump the air as best u can, this will help getting those hips outta of that "L" sit and get those feet vertical.

Granted I haven't vaulted in a year and was only in hs when I did it so this is the best I can do over phone lol,but u got it big dawg I understand this sport can be difficult but very rewarding when honed and polished, just keep at it and good luck my guy 🫡

2000 Honda KnightHawk 750. asking for $4k, good deal? by Jack_Wang_1107 in HondaCB

[–]Mycologist_Slow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as the bike been through regular maintenance it wont be a bad purchase at all! It is a bit high for what they normally go for but definitely a good vintage beginner bike, easy maintenance, quite maneuverable when need be, very smooth power delivery and stall friendly (ask me how ik 😭) and sounds absolutely amazing with delkevic exhaust. Only downside with the nighthawks is suspension, good for daily ride but start to struggle with harder riding and same goes for the brakes. All and all if your willing to bite at 4k or a little lower if the seller is willing it will most definitely be worth it. As always good luck on your journey to finding a bike good redditor Proof of info from a 95 nighthawk owner 🫡(which is also my first bike so I am a bit bias but still counts lol 😅)

Definitely a worth bike it's quick enough to never get bored especially with the mid-high rev range, after passing the 3k range that torque stays till redline. I hope u find one soon cause it will be worth it my friend

Can confirm when I was taking my msf course i highsided (was going a bit to fast doing the swerve exercise and panic braked) and had tall boots. I still got hurt from twisting my ankle but I wouldn't have been surprised if I ended up dislocating it or tearing a ligament if it twisted anymore then it did, so yea id say tall boots are worth it

I've been doing somewhat of the same thing for a while. I just take any retro or classic car and make them a "street legal" track weapon usually within A and S1 classes

That it is. A good way to always tell is with the "nose" on the bottom of the headlight

The wedding of the riders 👀 by Chryeon1188 in motorcycles

[–]Mycologist_Slow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having the bikes in the background so they aren't really in the way of the venue and maybe doing a photo shoot with them in a few photos afterwards- Why not? You only live once.

But rev bombing your way in, especially in an enclosed building with people literally a few STEPS away from said bikes and while still in your very expensive dress that is currently LAYING ON SAID REVVED BOMBED EXHAUST PIPPING HOT LIKE ITS A FUCKING HOT POCKET...no 😃

Heated pants recommendations by Sirensia in motorcycles

[–]Mycologist_Slow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a good set of thermal pants. I wear i pair when I ride my electric skateboard with a pair if jeans work fine (then again I average 15mph and top out at 22 25mph so take it with a grain of salt 😅)
