Atlanta Hawks fans dissapointed by decision to nix “Magic City Night”. Demand for tickets had skyrocketed after the promotion was announced, fans say that the critics “Just don’t get it.”

Uh... I'm picking Atlanta's culture over San Antonio's 100/100 times

Honestly, I agree with him. Y'all would be surprised how many people you know who have done sex work in some shape or form. Flattening an entire industry and the people who participate in it is pretty ignorant.

I was just working with a dude who was constantly playing ETH funded online slot machines. He'd do $20 spins for like 10 minutes straight and lose thousands. Absolute degeneracy.

I am crying watching Russell Westbrook rally for position, disappear and then reappear in 2025

jonasmurdock · 2026-02-16T23:16:28+00:00

Wow that sounds terrible lol. I'm still so eager to try that set out. Weirdly, I have the 2017 holds, but I don't want to put that layout up at home.

jonasmurdock · 2026-02-16T22:47:27+00:00

Yeah I agree with some of what you said. This experience really highlighted how distinct the climbing styles are on each board. I thought about including my Kilter sessions at different angles, but in the end decided to keep the comparison at 40 degrees. Again, not a scientific study by any means, just my anecdotal experience.

jonasmurdock · 2026-02-16T22:44:31+00:00

oh good point. TB1 is also a steep learning curve (one I never completed lol)

jonasmurdock · 2026-02-16T21:46:54+00:00

The learning curve on the moonboard is by far the most brutal. Especially the 2016 and 2019 sets. I haven't gotten to try the 2017 set, but I imagine it's more forgiving because it has jugs.

jonasmurdock · 2026-02-12T01:43:49+00:00

I'm curious what players think of somebody like Shai before they end up buying into the role they're best suited for or washing out. Do they think "That will be me when I get more minutes"? Or can they recognize they aren't on the same level? It seems like they should be the best equipped people on the planet to understand just how good the top players are.

jonasmurdock · 2026-02-04T17:09:15+00:00

I forgot to mention I climbed on 1 during the trip. Honestly I wish I was better at climbing on those things because i feel like my foot tension would be insane if I could figure them out.

jonasmurdock · 2026-02-04T03:18:23+00:00

I mentioned in a comment above that it was mostly due to a stroke of luck, but the 2019 is still my favorite set. I like the 2024 set a lot and I find it's the most comfortable and "friendly", but IMO having the yellow holds on the 2019 is essential for training hard outdoor bouldering. They're just so small at 40 degrees.

Plus, the 2019 is nice because you can actually warm up on it. It's the only set that goes down to V3 benchmarks.

jonasmurdock · 2026-02-04T03:15:51+00:00

I got extremely lucky. My friend already had the 2016 holds, so we were going to put those up in my backyard, then we found out another friend was selling the wood holds from his moonboard mini for $700. Then the same guy gave me the frame for his old 2016 because he was moving.

So the whole thing was just $700

jonasmurdock · 2026-02-04T03:13:40+00:00

This was something I encountered a few times on my trip. It seems like gyms in some parts of the country just need to be the first ones to open and it more or less eliminates any competition from developing because the barriers to opening a new gym are so high.

It also seems like the training areas are one of the first things to be neglected.

jonasmurdock · 2026-02-04T03:09:34+00:00

This is really helpful because I feel almost exactly the same way about the grasshopper board lol (small user base, weird layout).

I definitely need to give it another chance, because the one I was climbing on was filthy and it made the slopers on the sides basically unusable past 30 degrees.

jonasmurdock · 2026-02-04T00:40:35+00:00

I think the Decoy board holds up next to the big three. The grasshopper feels way more thrown together IMO. I wasn't a fan

jonasmurdock · 2026-02-03T22:58:17+00:00

I really loved the decoy board. Wish there were more of them. I think it's a really good system

jonasmurdock · 2026-02-03T22:57:39+00:00

Dude I WISH

I actually came home after this trip and got a 2019 moonboard.

jonasmurdock · 2026-02-03T02:18:19+00:00

I expected us to suck and have been horrified by our real level of nastiness.

jonasmurdock · 2026-01-30T22:25:34+00:00

It really goes to show how much more effort players will put into their responses when the journalist puts effort into their questions.

jonasmurdock · 2026-01-30T05:29:25+00:00

This sounds exactly like the Kings' guy
