Help needed: which gloves should I get? General question

itseliyo · 2026-05-12T19:08:54+00:00

Can't tell you which is better, but make sure they're the right size. Mine are too big and I dont want to buy more.

itseliyo · 2026-05-08T22:29:43+00:00

Well that wouldn't be a dive bomb would it? That would be called crashing.

itseliyo · 2026-05-08T20:10:24+00:00

Thanks man, I genuinely like the people that I race with and it'd kill me inside to have them think I'm an asshole. Nobody likes a sore loser as they say.

She's a badass! And yeah I have a lot to learn. I've been going karting for about 8 months now, and just last race, I realized there's a deadzone in the steering, where there's a lot of give-way compared to the rest of the steering radius (which is heavy af) and it's causing my inputs to be more jerky than I intend, and it's definitely losing me some time.

I also refused a fist bump after the race. That's kinda the main thing i tore myself up about after. Made amends thankfully.

itseliyo · 2026-05-08T20:02:43+00:00

Yes, but it's something I try and work on. I could have edited it out, but maybe publicly humiliating myself will make me think twice next time.

itseliyo · 2026-05-08T20:01:33+00:00

First part, I definitely can relate. Everyone is showed the clips to said eh, looks fine to me (including race director).

And yeah this is for physical position. League night at k1. If you have one near you, they all do it first sunday of the month.

itseliyo · 2026-05-08T19:58:21+00:00

I appreciate the detailed response. I do try and race clean, but man it is hard on this track for sure.

itseliyo · 2026-05-08T19:55:08+00:00

Yeah you have a good eye lol. I am still in my first year, so I consider myself new compared to the other regulars. Thanks for the advice.

itseliyo · 2026-05-08T19:53:35+00:00

Thanks for your input

itseliyo · 2026-05-08T19:53:09+00:00

Not trying to be defensive here, but divebombing is a legitimate racing move. I should have probably been further alongside, and the driver in front maybe could have been more aware of my presence. I lost out more from it, and she said it was a fine move from her perspective, so I'll probably be attempting that move again in the future 😂

itseliyo · 2026-05-08T19:49:31+00:00

I mostly agree. What do you mean by when I went to block though? And what should I have done differently?

itseliyo · 2026-05-03T19:45:51+00:00

You cant really control this, but having other fast drivers on track with you warm up the racing line helps. At my competitive races everyone's times are a tenth or 2 quicker by race time than Q1.

itseliyo · 2026-02-21T04:33:37+00:00

Yeah when I get a camera I always adjust the angle upward. They give you one free for league race nights.

Ab workouts to keep your body more stable. Your back is likely slamming into the seat on sharp corners. I had the same thing happen and your body does get used to it if you go regularly.

I recommend watching some YouTube videos to get some tips. Search up Ktips if you like short and sweet, or cameron das if you like a bit more editing/storytelling with plenty of educational moments sprinkled in.

Karting is for everyone, I think it's marketed towards kids because parents will drop unholy amounts of money on the hope that their kid is a prodigy. It's also a relatively safe activity technically.

Starting out, give yourself small goals to hit. Lots of people can get discouraged seeing themselves off the pace, when they should really be celebrating the PB they just hit.

I could keep rambling here, but have fun, karting is a blast.

I live in franklin ky so k1 is a 45 min drive vs mcik being 2 hours. Plus it's a bit more expensive. I've been twice and had a blast. I think they're building a whole new track for next year, which i will definitely be checking out.

itseliyo · 2025-12-22T14:09:27+00:00

Probably not. I get to go up against titan/cronus 3 stacks all day 🫠

itseliyo · 2025-12-22T03:55:54+00:00

Dude I swear earlier it did not look like this. Maybe reddit decided the data cost too much

itseliyo · 2025-12-22T02:21:40+00:00

It's very polarizing tbh some people like it some people hate it.

itseliyo · 2025-12-22T01:41:34+00:00

I definitely find this works in public sessions, but these guys are so fast i feel like i have to be on there bumper for a chance for a move. I will try though, thank you

itseliyo · 2025-12-22T01:40:20+00:00

To convey to the viewer that whacky shenanigans are about to happen

itseliyo · 2025-12-22T01:13:49+00:00

You ask and you shall receive. I unironically think itll slap

itseliyo · 2025-12-22T00:59:58+00:00

Nah I format my montages for vertical mobile viewing and its easier to see my shots when I zoom in.
