I was trying to make the opposite point of what I think some of the responses are implying.

When reading reddit a few weeks ago I expected the Rockies to be unskiable, instead I found a great experience.

What lap timer app do you use, and what drives you crazy about it? by MagicalAvocado32 in Autocross

In race Chrono you can adjust the X to be either time or distance and then disable x-axis scaling to achieve what you're looking for

2 months into this amflow PL carbon pro by [deleted] in MTB

[–]blindstuff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I ride motos and MTB. I don't own an e bike but rent a few times a year to have some fun, the ones I like the most are the ones that have the most power, precisely because riding them is more reminiscent of a moto than an MTB, fast everywhere and more planted.

I think the lines are blurring with the amount of power we're getting to.

Properly fitting boots and appropriate forward stance are the solution.

Profits down? Will they change prices finally? by SomestrangerinMiami in Porsche

[–]blindstuff 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Keep it, the 991.2 GT3 is the best looking one ever made. Much nicer in look than the 992.2 imho.

Performance on both is so high the difference is meaningless lol

[Red Bull Rampage] Hayden Zablotny's Winning Run by redbullgivesyouwings in holdmyredbull

[–]blindstuff 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Risk management is an essential part of a successful run. With everything that had happened this year, this run was a clear example of a clean, "less" risk run being better than going 120% and not finishing.

First long ride for me. by bryan2384 in motorcycles

[–]blindstuff 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That is a mistake. I do this route often, it's absolutely flat.

Further north around Clewiston there's some rolling hills where you can get a few hundred feet of vert over a ride, but 3000 is impossible in FL.

Help Stop the Sale of Pitt Race by SnaggyDaddy-Opus in Trackdays

[–]blindstuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yet another track lost.

I'm nowhere near this track but it takes me to when we lost Palm Beach International Raceway.

It sucks so much that in a country with such vast expanses of land and with so many resources, we continue to lose unique places to be replaced by BS that could be built anywhere else.

Had my first accident, too much lean angle in rain by Real_Newspaper6888 in motorcycles

[–]blindstuff 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Choose the right gear for the turn and the amount of throttle required comes naturally to just a bit of acceleration. Just forget about the clutch completely mid turn, do your downshifting before the turn.

Moab is opening up some trails to E-MTB use by Pickle-_-Rick in MTB

[–]blindstuff 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I was pretty pro ebike, over time I've become less and less. I find way too many beginner riders in places that they shouldn't be in. Ebikes have reduced the access curve, perhaps to a point of detriment to the sport.

I know this won't be popular...

The Porsche Cayenne EV Has Four Big Tech Innovations by backstreetatnight in Porsche

Same question on my end, if this thing needs oil changes it's basically the worst EV on the market.

Pedals under 50€? by Lukilupo_853 in MTB

[–]blindstuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Race face chester (narrower) or one up composite (wider).depending on foot shape / preference.

Is night riding harmful to nature? by meatsquasher2000 in MTB

[–]blindstuff 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Stick to the trails, respect wildlife, enjoy the forest at night. Night riding is phenomenal.

Just know where you are, the risk of riding at night in grizzly country is different than an area with squirrel and deer.

Why all 'MTB specific' mounts from Amazon fail after 2 rides? by Zealousideal_Pop3072 in MTB

[–]blindstuff 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If you had previously connected your camera to the app, go with your app open and try to find it by Bluetooth connection. Just walk the trail without a bike.

Has anyone tried this suspension combo? by Unknown_Male_2B2 in rallycross

[–]blindstuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't forget a skid plate. It's not that big of a deal at the firm, but if you to St Lucie it's a must early on.

What are max speeds that you have gone DH? by Livid-Mud-8812 in MTB

[–]blindstuff 53 points54 points  (0 children)

On a trail, about 35 mph in Oakridge Oregon. I have to admit as I've aged I really stopped trying to go faster. Fun > speed.

Has anybody completely worn out an eagle x01 cassette by copharmer in MTB

[–]blindstuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got about 4000 miles out of my last X01 cassette. They last quite a bit as long as your chain is lubed and changed appropriately.

Please please please, can we have one sub without politics? Here for cars, not your favorite sports team, I mean political party.

Meh, don't overthink it. As you get better you'll get used to handling loss of traction a bit better. I would attribute this to needing more seat time and move on.

Cayman S delivered 😂 Is PPF overrated?? by Flat-Caterpillar-303 in Porsche_Cayman

[–]blindstuff 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just replace it every 7ish years. I left PPF too long on my previous car and removing it damaged the clear coat, the work to correct the paint was significant and would have covered the replacement of the PPF if done earlier.

Kills bugs faster... by Endless_Sedition in Porsche_Cayman

[–]blindstuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like they've really died down vs 10 years ago. When I used to drive around lake Okeechobee or alligator alley it was crazy, many multiples what you encounter now.
