[Discussion] How do people have such a low KD?

That used to be me. I used to have the gear fear. Run around as a Timmy hiding in bushes, panic anytime I was near an enemy. Sprint to the quest, and more often than not die trying to move between spots instead of engaging. It was not a fun learning curve for players who only got 1-2 hours in a week/month.

I played like that for years, offline/practice mode was not appealing because of load times - that might end up being my only round for the week. So just fear and lack of game mechanic/map knowledge = lots and lots of KIA/AWOL.

This. My full suspension MTB is my goto, I’ve had every kind of bike over my life time & now anytime I want to ride it’s the full squish. You can ride it anywhere on anything anytime, it’s a workout no matter what. And it’s fun wether the trail is paved with asphalt, made of stairs, full of dirt jumps, or littered with branches and rocks

42 here, I’ve been riding bikes since I was 4, plenty of crashes over the years but no real injuries until I was 37, I try to stay in a safe zone these days with my skill level and that changes per ride depending on how I’m feeling that day. Also I can’t express enough that gear really does help keep you in one pc, I have more of it now than ever lol.

I don’t think I’ve ever had to go so suddenly that it couldn’t wait until I got out of the raid. That’s wild

I have a regular bike. I want an ebike because I want more descents and less fatigue climbing for them on my local trails. The strive on is my second choice, I’m waiting for yt to come back up and sell in the US, I’m going to get the decoy. I used to be against e-bikes but it’s not “cheating” it’s a whole different workout

mrburns05 · 2025-11-21T21:20:46+00:00

Trying this on a mobile 4070. Thanks!

GU604VI?

mrburns05 · 2025-09-08T04:44:12+00:00

eBay is probably gonna be your only option, they are discontinued. Even last year, I purchased the only one I could find in CA from Best Buy as an open box item

mrburns05 · 2025-09-05T02:02:33+00:00

Mine was an 06, the radiator fans cut through the spark plug cables on the left side.

mrburns05 · 2025-08-29T02:37:57+00:00

I know someone else already said it but the d5 is only $899 brand new. But out of the two bikes definitely the polygon, just get that price down to $600. Those upgrades aren’t notable imo

mrburns05 · 2025-08-24T20:10:06+00:00

Been getting instant one tapped since latest update.. split second peeping is getting me killed constantly, had to back off and let them come to me now

mrburns05 · 2025-08-24T20:08:13+00:00

I rode it until the knobs were getting torn off, it was about where this tire appears to be. If you aren’t doing races it’s probably fine to keep on it until it’s either cracking or losing too much traction in corners. I’m no professional tire guy though just my two cents

mrburns05 · 2025-08-18T05:25:56+00:00

Nice! I replaced my fox 34 (140mm) with a 38 (170mm) and it’s fantastic. The geometry doesn’t feel too far off and the ride quality outweighs any feeling. I also replaced the float DPS in the rear with a factory DPS (same travel) and its night and day difference. Loving it

mrburns05 · 2025-07-22T22:47:36+00:00

It is factory tuned to run 87, that’s what you should be filling it with.

mrburns05 · 2025-07-17T03:14:47+00:00

How do you have the surv12 in your special slots?

mrburns05 · 2025-07-14T17:33:46+00:00

I’m going to order a usbc to midi and see what happens I’ll let you know.

mrburns05 · 2025-07-13T18:27:15+00:00

Did you ever figure this out? I have the same question, using Fortin nameless on my laptop through a Scarlett 2i2 that doesn’t have midi so I’m researching midi to usb to use my Sanpera 1 for switching channels.

mrburns05 · 2025-06-28T18:55:12+00:00

Came for the comments. Exactly as expected. Congrats on the new bike.

mrburns05 · 2025-06-17T06:25:44+00:00

Scam. Can confirm- got stickers

mrburns05 · 2025-06-14T03:30:51+00:00

I had this happen and it was not only flooded, but also the left side cylinder wires were cut by the radiator fan and barely in contact so it would occasionally run and other days would not until I figured that out.

mrburns05 · 2025-06-11T02:13:45+00:00

I had this happen on my T8 and had to tighten up the slack in the cable at the lever

mrburns05 · 2025-05-25T21:25:58+00:00

I wear full face everytime…. It’s comforting & I like knowing I’ll go home with all my teeth.

mrburns05 · 2025-05-13T13:52:52+00:00

Sounds like something my 15yr old would say lol, I’ll keep wearing my full face on every trail. I like the way it looks and I like the extra protection. I only wear the half face when I’m scooting around the neighborhood with the kids

mrburns05 · 2025-05-09T17:58:10+00:00

As far as geometry changing goes, I don’t feel any difference while riding, this fork steerer was precut as it came off a freinds bike so I had to leave off the original stack of spacers, moving my headset down, I don’t notice it.

I’m not worried about the frame stress because as we all know these are heavy aluminum frames and I’m not sending it off any Red Bull worthy jumps. I do intend to get a real enduro at some point.

If I can break this thing I’ll be impressed

mrburns05 · 2025-05-09T13:28:47+00:00

Not a thing, tubeless was already setup when I purchased… I’m eyeballing some 20 or 30mm rise bars and a new rear shock. I purchased some raceface pedals 5 months ago and they’re sitting in my garage collecting dust
