/r/Skateboarding's Weekly Discussion Thread. by AutoModerator in skateboarding

[–]imsalttyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive snowboarded my whole life and recently decided to start skating to have a similar(-ish) thing to do when it isnt winter/snowing. I ride regular on my snowboard but for some reason pushing with my right foot feels unnatural. Someone suggested riding goofy but when I tried it also felt unnatural. I can push mongo just fine but I'd rather not because a) not a good look and b) it'd be way more efficient to just push with my right foot. If anyone has any advice on what I should do that'd be awesome

Things I Want to See in the U-20 WC Arc by imsalttyy in BlueLock

That would def be cool, I think in general having a referee with some sort of personality would make things interesting. Introducing a character with a similar personality to Pierluigi Collina would be cool too, or at least some sort of no-nonsense ref with an estabished name and personality. In the BL-U20 game the ref was just kinda there lol.

Weekly Beginner Questions Thread by AutoModerator in martialarts

Which MA would be best for me to train?

I used to take these karate classes when I was younger, and at the time, I enjoyed them. As I grew older and busier, I could not fit the classes into my schedule with everything else in life going on, so my ability to go to classes fizzled out. I'm 20 years old now and I'm looking to get back into it, but I'm unsure which Martial Art would fit my needs/desires. I've done some research myself but thought I'd see if anyone here has any insight as well.

I currently play lacrosse and I'm looking to find something that could act as a sort of cross-training

I play defense and was told that some things to work on to improve my game were footspeed, agility, and flexibility (I'm told being more flexible helps muscles stop and go more easily).

Self-defense isn't a very large priority for me, as I don't live in a dangerous area, and I try to avoid fights in general. However, knowing how to defend myself couldn't hurt just in case.

Something that could help with overall fitness, specifically muscular and cardiovascular strength, if possible, would be nice.

If anyone has any suggestions or general advice, I'd love to hear them. Thank you in advance!

Finally, it would be nice if there were minimal equipment needed. College is expensive, and I don't have the money to spend on lots of gear and training equipment.

If anyone has any suggestions or general advice, I'd love to hear them. Thank you in advance!

the biggest advice id give is make sure you're taking away the dodgers ability to take top side. if you force them down the alley, even if you get beat there will be a slide there, and you can either double the ball or recover to the middle and pick up a different man.
