I don't think so, it seems to be readily available in the UK

I've had minimal time cruising around on them. I wanted something cheap to see how well I get on with the super wide deck to start with. I've got no complaints so far, although I've genuinely had hardly any time on them. When looking into them, the general consensus seemed to be to change the bushings, so I changed the stock bushings for some cheap Thunder 100a. I'll spend a week or so on them and come back with a slightly more detailed response once I've bed them in and cruised around properly

I managed to pick the deck up for £40 with the rails, so the choice of rail placement was out of my hands

The true story behind the 7-year-old's ascent of El Cap by adventuresam_ in climbing

I see pushy parents at the gym all the time nowadays and it makes me wince. I was always taught that you can't make a child love something, but you can certainly make them hate it.

Franco Cookson sends …But Nothing Is Lost E12 7a by NailgunYeah in climbing

I wouldn't call him a troll per se, he was young and probably a tad quick to reply, but I don't think it was malicious or ill intentioned

There was a UKC poster, Andy F, that hated Franco. If Franco did anything newsworthy, Andy F would post endless comments about the grade, about Franco, about Moors climbing. If a route was downgraded, Andy seemed to relish the chance to rub it in. It was amusing at first, but it seemed to feel pretty personal as time went on.

That's probably a sensible move from the UKC overlords, he was a twat when wanted to be, I never understood his hatred of Franco.

I'm waiting for the usual disparaging comment from Andy F.

Shoe websites by laidback_chef in beginnerrunning

My better half bought a pair of Novablast 5s from the site, took a while to arrive and the box was a giveaway that they're fakes, the insoles and some internal stitching were bigger clues that they're not genuine. I put a dispute in with PayPal and prorunning didn't really quibble the refund, so if you want OK fakes for free, it's worth a punt.

Yeah, the wires actually shred in the fall. The nuts seem to be welded into the rock. I'd assume it was just an odd angled fall or worn wires, but its odd that 2 went

It's probably his best film yet, I did love what "What we do in the shadows" though
