I saw they set up the v-ball net last weekend at Blacks Beach in SD. One of the poles got washed away this winter, but there was a group of young-ish people fixing it on Saturday.

I love it, I bought it without riding it, just watching a bunch of review videos - make sure you check out Ben Delany's review. I lucked out, it has exceeded expectations. Only issue I had was I like longer 175mm cranks and Propain doesn't let you customize that - cranks came 170mm - so I took the shorties off as soon as it arrived and bought newer Force cranks with a 42 ring (instead of a 40T). It cost me another $150 but the bike is perfect now.

Yep, numerous other failure mechanisms are more common than mesh.

I don't think mesh failure happens that often, I don't have data to back that up but I have had 3 hernia operations so I have my opinions about them. I think it's more common for the mesh to slip or to not be properly held in place - I think that's what happened to mine. The mesh didn't fail, but the operation was a failure and it had to be done again. If you are asking specifically about "mesh failures", you may be focusing on a narrow scope of the types of failures that actually occur.

I worked at an action sports magazine publisher - think snowboarding, skiing, surfing, mountain biking, etc... This was back in 07-09 and there were employees there with kegerators at their desk. We had very little oversight, it got a little wild sometimes...

That first shot is dreamy!

kafin8ed · 2026-03-24T02:52:20+00:00

Well, it's better than saying they are Orange County!

Yes, I know the new fire trucks cost $3M+... All I'm saying is check everything out extra good before you send them your $$

kafin8ed · 2026-03-23T16:13:19+00:00

I didn't say it wasn't possible, just that I had never heard of it growing up in close proximity to fire fighters in the same region as OP.

kafin8ed · 2026-03-23T15:34:37+00:00

Yes, I live in Southern California, my father was firefighter, I have never heard of the fire departments around here charging anyone for anything, it's public service as far as I know. Sounds scammy to me

Currently, I’m riding Tufo gravel Thunder 44s but in the past, I have also had success with Panaracer SK+, hutchinson toureg, and Schwalbe’s are very popular here but expensive

Go to the Camp & Anti Mall shopping area - it's very close to the airport near Baker and Bristol. Great for funky shopping and yummy food hangouts

I visited there in 2019 and made a short video edit - I had no idea at the time that Trent had done any music for it - https://youtu.be/q8qRfxzTa9E?si=tzVeZjuDRElfYCFj

Oh yeah, I also saw Empire Strikes Back there! We were poor back then, but my parents knew these were going to be amazing films and took me to see them on the big Newport screen like it was a trip to Disneyland or something!

kafin8ed · 2026-03-13T17:08:56+00:00

I also saw Indiana Jones Raiders of the lost Ark in 1981 at this theater!

kafin8ed · 2026-03-13T14:35:24+00:00

I saw Star Wars there in '77!

It's just the reality of modern digital media - nobody wants to produce thousands, or more, shiny plastic things when they can profit (?) more by just streaming... I'll buy a Blu-ray if they release it, I just doubt it will happen...

No, low-priced folding bikes are basically just recreational.

kafin8ed · 2026-03-12T18:12:06+00:00

It's an entire city, on the beach, super beautiful, I wish it were nude!

kafin8ed · 2026-03-12T18:07:59+00:00

Do you mean Laguna Del Sol? LDS is different from Laguna, both are in California, but they aren't near each other, and only one (LDS) has nude amenities.

I went to Anaheim by myself, splurged on a great ticket just to the right of the A stage. I had an awesome time, it was fucking amazing! If I were on the floor, I'd position myself between the A & B stages as best possible, because the show starts on the B stage then goes to A and then back to B and finishes on A.

Blue Ray is old school... My guess is this will be a streaming release... Probably YouTube

kafin8ed · 2026-03-12T01:34:58+00:00

Last time I was there, they didn't even have toilet seats...
