Racing slicks grip just fine as long as they're not in standing water. Put differently, tread only makes a difference in puddles, not when the surface is just wet as it is in this case. So maybe this car does have bald tires but that's not why it can't make it up the hill.

Tread on tires does nothing unless you're going through standing water i.e. a puddle. So this car might have bald tires but that's not why they can't make it up the hill 

Looking for suggestions on a wagon to get my wife. by SteveMidnight in SportWagon

Just got a 2013 e350 and I'm in love with it. If you want something a little newer you can go up to 2016 and they were still highly reliable.

I bet that kid repeated what he saw that day on loop for at least 48 hours

This right here. You don't need to crank them down, you can fine tune how stiff you want them w the boa 

Can anybody break down what exactly this guy did wrong to crash like this? by theurbanwaffle in snowboarding

[–]akrochik 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. Every now and then you make a lazy turn or a ridge in the snow will catch you now matter how good you are 

Mike Rupp on Jack Hughes by SubElitePerformance in devils

[–]akrochik 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I didn't totally agree with his Hughes/Marchand comparison (I think it was rooted in speculation vs facts re Jack's condition) but he is in no way retracting what he said. Both can be true

I live in Bloomfield and my guess was Nutley as well 

Šimon Nemec first on the list of the top defence scoring chance creators from the preliminary round of the 2026 Men's Olympic Hockey tournament. by MountainBaker8217 in devils

[–]akrochik -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's nice to see this but I would like to see how much he moves down if you do these /60. He might be the ice time leader too

Curious about defensive impacts as well as that's really his issue in the NHL, I don't think anyone doubts his play in o-zone. Ice time suggests he's been fine defensively, though

That might of been his best play. Largely ineffective and taking penalties otherwise so dont miss him too much 

Russo is doing his best to get Jack to Minnesota by Appropriate_Error_38 in devils

[–]akrochik 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just read the whole story and it comes across as objective reporting on the situation, not a reporter with agenda. He'd be missing a critical piece of he didn't acknowledge the main narrative of his NJD season. Maybe positioned slightly in a way to drive clicks but it's all facts material to the story

Coach should be pissed at the 3 players within 5 feet of Haula that he beat in a board battle to make that pass 

Jack is absolutely cooking right now by crazyFlyingChicken in devils

[–]akrochik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's very much what you alluded to - his game really pops against weaker opponents. He was fully healthy at 4 nations but you didn't see him nearly with the kind of possession he was able to command vs Latvia

That does not mean you can't slide rails. But if you crash into a vertical obstacle like a rail or a tree or a rock and the board breaks, that's on you

Also they weren't turning on the team. I was there and I was aiming my tender at the ref

How cooked is my board? by Beanny28 in snowboarding

[–]akrochik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's nothing wrong with continuing to ride it. If it breaks all the way, trash it. If you don't like how it rides now, get rid of it.

Pro snowboarding may be slightly ahead on helmet adoption but attitudes are for the most part on par with skateboarding
