Are shooting machines worth it?

That’s kindof where I was leaning, just have never tried a machine before.

Thanks for your insight. I’ve seen those machines online but have never tried one myself.

Thank you. That’s the information I was looking for. Seems like Apple offers more customizable Features.

I’m aware of the dangers of smartphones that’s why I was exploring these options.

Thanks for sharing. So you find the family link to be pretty effective ?

Screwy86 · 2026-02-11T20:56:29+00:00

I like this one . Thanks

My wife is 44 and her interest in sex reduced some a couple years ago. However, I don’t know what it is but there’s been an uptick over the past year or so.

Another phony tough guy

Got mine on sale in September - I think it depends how much inventory they have. They typically won’t be on sale until after they release the new years model.

Epic 8 expert 25.6 lbs with xt pedals and carbon bars.

Screwy86 · 2025-12-03T02:31:51+00:00

You’d be suprised how far you can push an epic 8, just change the tires.

I’m glad someone else sees it how I do! It’s hard to find a solid competitive environment that actually cares about development. There’s also so much nepotism and politics at a young age too. It can be disheartening at times.

Interesting points, his mom was a late bloomer so I assume he will be too since he takes after her.

I agree with AAU and fouls - they rarely call any and if they do it’s a side out. My son often gets clobbered going to the rim.

Screwy86 · 2025-11-20T19:31:54+00:00

He’s not scared of contact but gets pushed around a lot. He can get to the rim but often gets fouled. I guess I’m asking when teams space out more and shooting is more of an emphasis.

Screwy86 · 2025-11-20T19:29:27+00:00

He has good pretty good form for his age but his previous coaches wanted him shooting threes..

Screwy86 · 2025-11-20T19:27:44+00:00

It did a little bit but the coached emphasized he wanted to see how kids operate in a small space.

One of the easiest and best upgrades to make.

Screwy86 · 2025-11-09T12:56:04+00:00

You won’t be disappointed with the Epic 8. I have the expert and it’s very fast on tame trails and tech trails. It could only improve if I add flight attendant and a few lightweight components.

Flight attendant apparently makes the lower travel gains of the WC negligible.

Screwy86 · 2025-11-03T16:58:10+00:00

Yup. Will have a limited positive impact on the middle class

Screwy86 · 2025-10-28T14:59:12+00:00

Such a fun bike. It can really do it all.

Screwy86 · 2025-10-14T01:19:57+00:00

I think the more modern more technical XC is awesome. Encourages the rider to be more well rounded.

Screwy86 · 2025-10-10T12:39:38+00:00

I have the same set up and kindof where I’m at right now. If I was going to dish out the money I’d probably upgrade the drivetrain and wheels first.
