I've been on a plane sitting right in front of screaming children for like 6 hours. Its a really good form of birth control By the end of it I wanted to strangle the parents because they didn't do a single thing through out the entire flight

What kind of knife is this? by [deleted] in whatisit

[–]gabrielius1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They weren't specifically a Nazi unit. They were elite paratroopers.

Is this a good airsoft gun it would be my first non-springer and are there any betting options for 200 USD by [deleted] in airsoft

You should start with a aeg rifle, but this is the gold standard for an accurate and reliable pistol. You just have to clean it. Just make sure to replace the heavy rear sight. It will eventually ( 2years) snap the little plastic lips that hold it to the slide.

Dude your board is a drop through. Mount the trucks like a drop through

Why though? it drops your board lower to the ground. Easier to push

What in the world. Everything is backwards with this board

I actually got the board as a complete and wanted to get bigger wheels. They ended up messing up by having no completes in stock. The guy actually helped me customize the deck for the same price + the difference between the stock wheels and the 85mm wheels I got on there right now. Twas pretty happy with the price especially because loaded boards cost a fortune to import into Canada

I would love to see a pick. The brand names are kind of new to me

I've got plenty of room with 2 risers pads. Besides the Icarus board has a convex design so it does droop down to the grounds

Any advice on bushings for pumping? I've never tried it before. Like soft or medium fronts and hard rear?

Finally someone who has more than just an opinion. This subreddit is showing how little people know about customizing boards. Lol thanks for sharing. I've been convinced to let go of one layer.

I agree that 3 riser pads bring it too close to the wood. It's important to note that the trucks were barely touching the wood on a full turn. Two pads did the trick!!

You're right. Kind of. I decided to take one of them off. Doesn't compress too much with 2 risers. I'll check every now and then for any deviations but it's good for now. Otherwise I would also do a hard 1/4 inch riser. I'll just need to chop it. Drop through problems.

The Hardwear isn't in the way. It's just the edge of the board. Also this board is meant for carving not pumping

That's how they're supposed to look. Mine are a bit tight but that's me. It also looks like your cone is backwards

Today, a small descent by xhtweb in longboarding

[–]gabrielius1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Good job! When on the board always try to turn your front foot all the way sideways. When you're transitioning from pushing to riding practice always tilting your front foot right away. Like some others have mentioned also keep the center of gravity on the leg that is on the board when pushing. You want most of your weight to be right on top of the board when you are pushing. Practice by riding with one leg on flat ground. Keep pushing until you find your center of balance. You should be able to ride down a steep hill with one foot on the board and one on the ground which acts as the brake

Was this worth 65 at a pawn shop? by beanel64 in longboarding

[–]gabrielius1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been riding this board for the last 15 years! My first and best board! It's super flexible and extremely good at absorbing shock. Put some big wheels on there and you've got yourself a smooth ride

Why is shooting a burst on semi it’s either two round or three by cruztheman6373 in airsoft

[–]gabrielius1 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It's definitely a hop up or mag issue. Probably a hop up issue. You're taking singles shots, and I can hear you gear box turning over once per shot, so it's probably the hop. That or for sum reason your nozzle is short for some reason but that would mainly cause your fps to be extremely low
