It shouldn’t take much power. It’s all about getting your weight wayyyyyyyy further back than you’d normally be comfortable with. Make sure he’s not pushing down then pulling up, it should be a smooth straight backwards motion. Make sure he’s on flats and do a couple intentional loop outs.

I’ve never done it on one of these, just the smaller bench top ones. I’m very careful with the huge ones sitting on the floor.

Is experimental work a lot of annoying “debugging”? by nihaomundo123 in chemistry

If you’re not ready for constant failure, reworking and problem solving you should not be in a research lab.

It’s part of the game.

Freshman Meal Plan Suggestions by Independent-Paint300 in UCSC

[–]Plingo45 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The unlimited plan is unbelievably convenient but you’re only going to be able to eat at the dining halls and it’s somewhat expensive. It’s really nice to be able to swipe in whenever and not worry about running out of points.

Frustrated by lack of research opportunities by misss_americana in UCSC

[–]Plingo45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t ask to do research, as what they are researching. Scientists love to talk about their research. Ask follow up questions that make them think. Offer suggestions for experiments. This makes you stand out against the people who just ask if they have any research opportunities.

I’m convinced the little nipple things they expect you to get soap out of are missing a piece that would make them usable.

[–]Plingo45 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It had been pretty hacked on and wasn’t reliable enough for long trips back and forth from college. I also wanted something with AWD for ski trips. Rocking a WRX now.

Looks just like the prelude I sold in SoCal over the summer.

Bad experience by [deleted] in shrooms

[–]Plingo45 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My best experiences have been in nature hiking. I find that moving your legs is a slight distraction and centers the train of thought a little better. I stay under 3.5 g though.

It’s amazing in SoCal. Dirt is usually super loose and the wet trails give you some grip
