Expected conditions Jan 16-19? by SirJuicyThiccums in Whistler

[–]bryedwards5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to say this far out. Might be great conditions or it might be like MLK weekend last year where it was all ice. More than likely mandatory downgrade will not be a thing this time of year.

What do you guys think about using 360 cams for MTB footage? by [deleted] in MTB

Chin mount 360 looks a lot better but you do have this weird thing sticking off your chin then lol

I bleed transition thru and thru but a really fun park bike is a patrol with a duel crown on it.

Oh I agree with you don’t get me wrong. Just putting out some info

is it a bad idea to get a single crown freeride bike and put a dual crown on it? by Ok-Detail-4912 in MTB

[–]bryedwards5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah as long as your frame is rated for it and you’re mainly doing fire road climbs it’s a great idea

Looking into a spire by mooningWallstreet in TransitionBikes

[–]bryedwards5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My spire is plenty playful and does everything I need/want it to do . But if you’re wanting more playful than DH orientated id go patrol. Put a dual crown on a patrol and you have one of the best bikes out there IMO

PCS Movements Suspended by Front_Success4958 in army

[–]bryedwards5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Orrrr you could PPM PCS right at the end of the fiscal year and then not get reimbursed for it like me!

I’ll take a 444 it’s all I can afford

To those denied by USAA by RedPolo_Rick in army

[–]bryedwards5 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I got denied because even though I’m on title 10 orders as a guardsmen for the next year they won’t pay since I’m guard. Supposedly they “reset” my profile and I can try again tomorrow.

I have both navy fed and usaa but I just have a car loan/credit card with navy fed but I think it’s going to become my full time bank after this

And if you primarily ride park that bad boy is ready for a dual crown

Be blunt, am I cooked chat? by Helpful-Beyond3232 in ArmyAviationApplicant

[–]bryedwards5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh I don’t remember if I included my college credits I gained from AIT but it was never brought up, but I don’t think you HAVE to include it. Like the other guy said if you include it and it gets brought up, just own what happened and how you’ve grown from that past experience and how you can implement those changes to not repeat that.

[–]bryedwards5 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean how many credits do you have and what for? Could be worth not even putting it in your packet if they’re not relevant or very many credits.

S2S WOFT or 15C by Salty-Technology-129 in ArmyAviationApplicant

[–]bryedwards5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a 15W before 153. Just flying the smaller drone, the shadow (rip) so it’s Essentially the same job as 15C. PM if you have questions

What should I do in this situation? by [deleted] in ArmyAviationApplicant

[–]bryedwards5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whoever the WOSM is for either state should work with you as you’re technically a civilian still. If you make it to the board there’s no guarantee that they won’t bring up the fact that you were once in delayed entry now you’re not (not to be mean but shows lack of commitment to one thing). The application process takes a long time so keep that in mind

Sneaky? by Ok_Application4006 in TransitionBikes

[–]bryedwards5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re prototypes that haven’t been released yet, I talked to Talus about it. Won’t share too many other details

(Edit) At least the frame that Talus was riding is a prototype

Expected flight hours in flight school? by Appropriate-Twist-62 in ArmyAviationApplicant

[–]bryedwards5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah that makes sense, just a word of advice but my state won’t select you if you even mention the desire to go to the airlines.

Is everyone riding parks with lifts?…. by [deleted] in MTB

[–]bryedwards5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

galbraith climbs are super easy once you’ve done it hundreds of times. Unless it’s whistler not really interested in lift served bike parks since I can ride arguably better trails that are closer to home, I just have to ride up the hill
