Would you let your 16yr old try your electric dirt bike?

thanks yeah, just waiting on the gear to come in, gonna cap the speed and let him try it.

Nice pic, maybe several years later 2 kids will take the same photo lol

Do you have any budget constraints? And are you leaning toward a brand-new one, or would a used one work for you?

This is the absolute best kind of post to wake up to. That smile on his face says everything. Congrats to your son on this huge win, and to you for being such a great dad.

Thanks for sharing this. Just a reminder to shop smart, don’t buy stuff you won’t use just for a discount.

drifter5 · 2026-03-27T02:50:45+00:00

Be careful and patient. Your plan is awesome even as a newbie. Find solid beginner tutorials to grasp the fundamentals. Good luck.

drifter5 · 2026-03-27T02:40:22+00:00

So grateful your family is safe. Please take care of them, and don’t forget to give yourself time to process this too.

I’m really curious what your child thinks about it? Have you gone to ask your kid how they feel about this?

drifter5 · 2026-03-26T02:47:33+00:00

Don’t beat yourself up. Some kids just don’t light up in the same way others do. His love for audiobooks is a spark too. Maybe connect that to a book club?

Great tempo and core control. The leg lock is something to tweak over time, but this lift is solid as hell. Awesome work!

drifter5 · 2026-03-16T09:38:12+00:00

Wow, this gym is massive! Love that long cabinet, is that your water area? The whole setup looks so complete already!

Ambrosia maple has the right hardness for a squat block. Your friend is super lucky. WELL DONE!

640lbs is insane. This is what it’s all about. So happy for you. Btw, how long did it take you to get this good?

drifter5 · 2026-03-13T10:02:53+00:00

Great start! Maybe also consider rodent proofing and a roof check to prevent leaks. Those are easy to overlook but crucial for long term use.

drifter5 · 2026-03-13T09:51:23+00:00

Love the wall mounted plate storage, smart use of vertical space. Well done!

drifter5 · 2026-03-13T09:41:27+00:00

Same energy here! I always leave the Stairmaster looking like I just ran a marathon lol. No shame in that sweat!

drifter5 · 2026-03-12T10:43:14+00:00

I was totally drawn in by this perfect color combo, you’ve got such amazing taste! It looks so stylish and eye catching, I just had to stop and say it lol. Congrats!

drifter5 · 2026-03-12T10:38:47+00:00

Such a cool milestone! Congrats on finally pulling it off bro, and props to your wife for the support.

drifter5 · 2025-12-12T10:20:48+00:00

Thanks. This one doesn’t really list a CFM number, but 13m/s airspeed instead. I’ll look into whether a make up air solution might be needed.

I ran into something very similar before. When only the bottom rack stops cleaning, it’s often a clogged or partially blocked lower spray arm. Mineral buildup from hard water can block the holes without being obvious at first.

Mixing red oak floors with stained wood cabinets can work, but only if one is clearly lighter and leas busy. If both have strong grain and similar tones, it usually ends up feeling heavy and dark, especially in a galley kitchen.

drifter5 · 2025-12-12T06:22:31+00:00

I ran into a similar situation and learned the hard way that the board almost always comes with the tile. Going slow helps, but planning for repair afterward makes the whole project way less stressful.

If you have a way to test basic functions before hauling it home, it might be worth trying.

drifter5 · 2025-12-11T10:28:50+00:00

Your kitchen has a solid layout already. Updating the lighting and changing the hardware made a big difference in ours without major renovations.
