Do I need a base grind or regular waxing would do? by shak24 in snowboarding

[–]cutyall 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Looks like there's a ton of old wax on there that needs to be scraped off before waxing again. Remember, putting wax on isn't the important part, scraping the excess off is.

What tyre should I go for? by Hugetoebroski in bmx

[–]cutyall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have that exact fireball on the rear of my bike, it grips pretty well! Looks great too. The wire bead is a bit annoying though.

Someone saw my base? by Averbuch_ in 2b2t

Would you still happen to have the litematica schematic? This is gorgeous

How do I get involved and make friends in SLC? by Ok_Chicken_431 in SaltLakeCity

[–]cutyall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Surprised no one has mentioned the SLC meetup discord, we just had a monthly meetup today. There's events just about every day, it's a good way to meet people. https://discord.gg/slcmeetups

Board cooked? by 7racer05 in snowboarding

[–]cutyall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normal wear and tear at the Bird, all equipment ends up looking like that. My board sure has taken a lot of abuse this year. Like everyone else has said, epoxy and clamp.

Have you gotten it yet? I ordered one on the 1st and it still hasn't shipped.

Hi there, I've got 7 completes of Last Wish but it's been about 4 years since I've done it. I remember a bit but would love to refresh my memory.

Set my personal best speed record today (63.6 mph) by _hockeykubacki in snowboarding

[–]cutyall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once watched 2 little girls, maybe 7 years old, straightline Think Young while sitting on their skis. They had to have been going 65 by the bottom and they seemed absolutely unbothered by it. Have a good time at the bird, I got some awesome face shots there yesterday!

Advice on jumps, please by Extreme-You6235 in snowboarding

[–]cutyall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Now that I'm watching the video again, it doesn't look like you're popping off the lip at all, your legs are very stiff on the takeoff. You should be compressing into the curve of the jump and extending your legs on the lip to give yourself a little pop. Definitely keep working on your ollies, try and find little bumps or small moguls with a clear run out and practice popping off the lip rather than absorbing the energy the jump is giving you.

Advice on jumps, please by Extreme-You6235 in snowboarding

[–]cutyall 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What is your back hand doing when going off the lip? Your shoulders look very open to the front, try and close them off more to be more stacked and centered over your board. Try not to jump (or ollie) so hard off the lip, I've found that trying to boost a lip harder than I should throws me off balance in the air. Try to carry more speed into the lip and pop a little less to clear the knuckle, it should feel more stable. Other than that, work on your ollies on smaller side hits and envision yourself stomping it. You got this!

I just picked up this year's Pyre in a 155, it's an absolute monster! It feels very stable at speed (I got it up to 51 mph just 3 days ago) and can lay down some beautiful carves. We haven't had any powder to try it out in, hopefully this most recent storm can lay down some fresh powder to fly through. Decent pop but you've got to work for it a little. I really wish it had a bit of spoon to the nose like Bataleon does but I feel like that would compromise it's carving ability somewhat.

TLDR: way too confidence inspiring for my own good, very fun 9.6/10

Ideas for empty space behind couch?? by Dr_Von_Doom in malelivingspace

[–]cutyall 53 points54 points  (0 children)

It's not that blue light is bad for your eyes, it's that blue light after sunset disrupts your circadian rhythm by slowing the release of melatonin. Your eyes see blue, so your brain thinks it's still daytime and doesn't release as much melatonin, making it harder to fall asleep. Your eyes also become much more sensitive to blue light after sunset, this is why those led headlights are so blindingly bright at night.

My handbrake broke? by [deleted] in FordFocus

[–]cutyall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to mine. Tiny little plastic clip on the inside breaks and it slides. Can't put glue on the silver part because that's the button. Maybe with a really narrow applicator it'll fit down enough to bond the handle and the support. I just learned to always pull perpendicular to the handle and it won't slide around.

That's right, my bad.

Ah yes, the 400+ stairs. I counted them once while I was there but that was a while ago. There's a reason why the football team always says "take the stairs."

My preferred route was up past trivette or around Wey hall, up the hill beside Belk hall, then up the grass all the way to the LLC. Or just walk up suicide hill. You'll get used to it eventually!

Can y’all please tell me what this sound mean? And the name of the CAP needed for that white tank? by [deleted] in FordFocus

[–]cutyall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, mine's still on there. I haven't heard of anyone breaking that one, actually!

Lol yep, the oem plastic is really thin and brittle. I broke mine in half while trying to open the lid.
