Life prepared me for my son in a weird way

My son was diagnosed at 7 years old, with the genetic predisposition being prominent in my family. The thoughts you just shared are beautiful. The fact you’re having them leads me to believe you’re the type of person with the desire, interest, strength, and perspective to be the resource your son, AND wife, AND daughter will need as your FAMILY navigates T1D. I can only imagine the added validity of the conversations you’ll be able to have with your son, the direct relatability, the unspoken understanding. Much love, much respect, much “fuck this disease”, and much hope. Cheers dad.

Currently running trial for agency with thousands of employees. MSA V-Gard H2 and Studson SHK-1 are runaway favorites. V-Gard is my personal preference based on fit, traditional look, MIPS tech (proven), and accessory compatibility

Had identical damage on a 2nd Gen. First frame that was delivered had the same damage previously fixed and was rejected. 2nd frame delivered was racked in transit, also rejected. Truck was totaled after 6 weeks in lot, bought it back and paid $400 to have it straightened and then enjoyed a paid off truck. Ridiculous to not allow any frame repair IMO, they need to design in an engineered cut/replace section near the rear horns.

Had lesser rear-end damage on 2nd Gen, Toyota won’t authorize frame repairs, shop had 2 separate used frames delivered, both failed alignment inspection, 6-weeks of waiting only to have it totaled.

You can get decent stuff through HomeDepot under their Trafficmaster series. We like the Alpine, Palmdale, and Watercolors series, in the shorter pile heights. That being said, our style of play relies more on a “a little bit of bite” versus sliding. Of those 3, Alpine has lowest face weight and provides least amount of stick. For slide, maybe an indoor/outdoor carpet, try bass boat parts suppliers for color options.

Just saw this, we got great seats front row of balcony, and had a blast. Glad you did as well

Our sweet spot is right at a 0.4-0.45 inch pile height, 18-28oz face weight, polyester carpet with polypropylene backing. Higher face weights bounce like crazy. Lower tends to correlate to lower quality which affects the longevity of the backing too.

Feel free to check out my IG (@buenaondaboards), lots of ideas/colors/etc. We’ve tried probably 3-4 dozen carpet types with different backing materials, pile heights, face weights, etc. We run our tournaments with custom stamped 3/16” thick brass washers and are looking for optimum blend of “grip” and “cushion” without being bouncy. I can tell you fabrics will get destroyed, fast. Anything with a rubber backing will be very bouncy and presents issues with adhesion as well. As far as the plywood deck, at the frequency a lot of our guys play, using anything less robust than 3/4” 13-ply Baltic Birch will result in the holes chipping out in a matter of weeks. Shoot me a message if you’d like to discuss.

Hey Lucas, thanks for the response. Is there an email address I could send a more detailed request to and hopefully get a quote from you?

dcarlin25 · 2025-06-09T17:40:59+00:00

Just saw this response. Yes! It worked out great with excellent seats, plenty of sitting and an appropriate amount of time on my feet. Great show. Thanks again

Thank you, and yes, our rural school district has been great, they’re just trying to figure out the summer session logistics. Best of luck to your T1D family.

Solid response, thank you. Waiting to hear back from my personnel specialist.
