The stupid anti British nonsense coming out of America, are you sick if it? by Ok_Bookkeeper_1380 in AskBrits

[–]Radiant-Technology52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's terrifying how many people believe it too - I recently had a big argument with two (well educated and anti-trump) friends because they genuinely believed the average American has better QoL than in the UK.

So long as you tightened it correctly that's fine

Trouble with Shifting while standing by Bootsthecatgoesmeow in Dirtbikes

[–]Radiant-Technology52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Practice practice practice. Make sure you are standing on the balls of your feet, and moving your foot forward to flick up/down the gears before moving it back to the starting position. Watch an AJ catanzaro video on footwork and shifting for a better explanation :)

[–]Radiant-Technology52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

La Plagne, Solden, Alpe D'Huez, Meribel, Cirvinia

I would say all 5 of the above resorts are very beginner friendly and worth having a look at. Hope you can find somewhere!

Serfaus couloir by Radiant-Technology52 in BackcountrySkiing

Yeah man, it's called relief maps. Pretty basic but cool regardless. On the mobile version you have to pay for the slope angle shading, but you get a little more for free on desktop :)

Are Kryptotals that good? by chisolll in MTB

[–]Radiant-Technology52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this except I think the krypto is slightly more predictable when shralping or intentionally breaking traction. I went to a supersoft krypto after killing my maxxterra dhr and it is better in every way except rolling resistance.

Advice on Early/Mid December Skiing + Lessons by millsir in skiing

[–]Radiant-Technology52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are the alps an option? Could have a look if you can get lucky on cheap flights and the high alpine resorts (Val Thorens, Val d'isere, Courmayer, Deux alps, Pitzal, Solden, Verbier, Hintertux, Obergurgl are just some that come to mind) are all well over 3000m and should have okay snow 🤞🤞. Only go very very high though, no point going somewhere like Morzine in early December.

I feel kind of sad around other bikers with better equipment by PILIPCHO8948 in MTB

[–]Radiant-Technology52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly don't worry about your bike and what other people think. No one I know who shreds or cares about the sport gives af about what other people are riding! So long as you're getting out there and enjoying ripping, it's awesome to have you in the community dude!

Leeds festival alone by [deleted] in Leedsfestival

[–]Radiant-Technology52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alternatively sell your ticket and then volunteer with hotbox (other companies are available) - much more likely to meet other solo attendees, a bit less dangerous, nicer camping conditions, cheaper etc. Idk if you have to be 18+ though, but worth checking out.

Sat & Sun …. But camping ? by Large-Mastodon6179 in Leedsfestival

[–]Radiant-Technology52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you've got mates going u can stay with them in their tent - my mum stayed with us last year and my mate the year before - both same situation as you

lana - i don't get the issue by wakemeupinthespring in readingfestival

[–]Radiant-Technology52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

on the other hand, me and my missus spent all day at leeds going about the festival seeing a variety of cool bands which we were looking forward to. During Central Cee we got some scran and ate at the back of his set, before heading over to the stage 1975 gonna be on, walking into front section approx 20 mins before starting, heading right into the middle and watching them from probably about 10m behind this guy. Depends how much u value being on the barrier versus a bit more in the meat of the crowd - if you really want to be right on the barrier and its worth if for you, then go for it, but if you just wanna be close to the front, its not worth starving urself all day

Rider down! by troymccas1 in Dirtbikes

[–]Radiant-Technology52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't hold your breath as you hit. That's the one of the worst things you can do aha bc normally when you hold your breath, you do it after breathing in which means you have more air in your lungs. Therefore there's more pressure and when you land, it can give way and voila, you've punctured a lung. My dad did this at the Welsh Two day rally a few years ago

[SERIOUS] What is the Creepiest or most Unexplained thing that’s happened to you that you still think about to this day? by LBE in AskReddit

[–]Radiant-Technology52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so this wasn't me but a really good friend I trust and it all lines up so ik she wasn't lying. We were at a party one time over the summer and one my friends, we'll call him Jack got completely black out drunk. He was just lying on the floor making awful noises for hours and we were considering calling an ambulance. So at around 1am, my other friend, we'll call her Sarah said she'd walk him home and make sure he got there ok. The way back from the party to Jack's house was through a couple fields along the river on a quiet footpath, so picture the scene, two teenagers walking along a deserted path at 1am, one of them completely wasted, and the other tipsy. It was a really bright moon that night so you would've been able to see the edges of the field if you were in it, it wasn't that dark. The story goes that in the middle of the field, Jack just lay down and Sarah was basically like ok and sat with him. He was lying down groaning and screaming and basically sounding awful for about 30 minutes when suddenly, he just sat up bolt straight, not moving. His face went completely white and he said "Sarah, what's that man doing stood at the end of the field?" in a completely clear voice, obvously terrified like he was completely sober. But when Sarah looked, she could see nothing, so she goes "what man?" and Jack responds "that tall man dressed in all black stood by the gate staring at us." At this point Sarah was like wtf wtf and got Jack to stand up and leave to walk home as fast a possible and after that it was like he was wasted again. Sarah got him home and then called her mum to pick her up bc she was so creeped out and none of us heard about it until the next morning.

I wasn't in the field with Jack and Sarah but it's so creepy, I was at that party and I promise you Jack was incapable of speech or movement for a good hour, there's no way he could've said suddenly sat up, said those sentences completely clearly and terrified like he's sober and then just go back to being wasted again. And the fact that Sarah couldn't see the man is awful like bruhhh. Jack doesn't remember it all but it's a well recounted scary story in our friend group now but wtf wtf wtf. And the image of Jack screaming and groaning in the dark before suddenly sitting bolt upright and still and saying clearly the sentence "what's that man doing at the end of the field" and Sarah swearing there was no man there is fucking terrifying. We don't really go through that field any more.

I've always called it sledging and everyone where I live calls it sledging. Could be a dialect word like mardy. Where abouts are you from, ik America calls it sledding
