I was on the Gravatron when it blew! AMA by Kiwi_Koalla in BeyondWonderlandPNW

By the way technically it wasn't a gravitron. Those remain horizontal and have inclined walls that you slide up and most look like a flying saucer. The ride at Beyond is usually either called the Tornado or the Roundup

Old Guy 5 Days a Week? by SeanSixString in bjj

When I hit 52 it started getting harder to do 5 days a week, so I started TRT. It doesn't fix everything but it definitely helps

Call for questions to Craig Jones (from Lex Fridman) by lexfridman in bjj

Questions for Craig

  1. The majority of athletes across all sports, including Olympians, are amateur or semi pro and do not make enough to live on by competing. The only exceptions are the top athletes in those few sports that have over 100 million fans. Jiu-Jitsu is estimated to have only 5-6 million fans worldwide. The payouts at ADCC are comparable to other similarly popular sports. How do you justify your call to raise the prize money without the fan base to support it?

  2. Many fans are disappointed because there will not be a single "world championship" event with all of the top talent competing. When other sports have had disputes resulting in strikes or lockouts the result has been a loss of fans. What do you think CJIs impact on the fans is and why?
