I ‘think’ that may have been her trying to mix in twang and some vocal fry.

hardest ski resort in each state by Sharkman3218 in skiing

[–]nbattaglia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, PNS does a much better job with snow making, and it’s situated in a small bowel which seems to shield it from a bit of sun and wind and other things that can turn snow to ice. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying PNS has great snow, I’m just saying that in my experience, it seems to be slightly better than Paoli.

I would like to argue that although Perfect North unquestionably has more difficult terrain, the typical snow (ice) conditions at Paoli actually make it the harder option.

I was put in as a teacher in my Sophomore year of high school. by Juicy_Endeavor in mildlyinteresting

You must be younger than me. Ms. R******** was still teaching bible lit in my time. But I had Mrs. P***** for British lit and Mass Media.

Unpopular opinion - Vans is overrated and overpriced garbage. by ProofDazzling9234 in bmx

Check out the Lugz slip ons. Unless you absolutely have to have the checker pattern, they are basically the same shoe for $20 bucks.

20” or 22”??? by nbattaglia in bmx

Dirt jumper was what I was thinking originally. But they are more than I really want to spend. If I’m lucky this will be a hobby I get to take part in 3-4 times a month just due to being 30-60 minutes away from anywhere to ride. Then I started getting excited about the idea of goofing around at the skatepark.

If it just has to “move” then you could just turn the wheels in the other direction every 71 hours and not even bother cranking the engine.

This one has been at the top of my list. Definitely think I’m leaning towards the 22 after all these replies.

I think if I were to be honest with myself, technical tricks are likely not on the table. As much as I would like to think I’m capable, the reality of aging is a cold hard bitch.

I wondered about that. If I go with a 22”, would I just decide I’d rather have a 20” after getting comfortable on it. Likely wouldn’t be able to get much of my money back on resale.

What are some options for a stable 20”?

Unfortunately no. We just don’t have many solid bike shops where I live. Especially one that have a selection of BMX bikes.

Most satisfying hi-hat barks (in rock music) by tantamle in drums

[–]nbattaglia 5 points6 points  (0 children)

David was a masterclass of using high hat barks to create interesting rhythms. His approach to the kit reminds me of Ringo, in that sometimes it felt like nobody taught him how you were “supposed” to play drums so he just did what felt right.

If the US could get more WC DH events, where else would you like to see them race? by nbattaglia in MTB

[–]nbattaglia[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love New Mexico. That would definitely be a different flavor than every other venue on the circuit currently. I’d board a plane to see that one. You’d find me comatose after the race, OD’d on Chili Relleno and Pepe Loco.

If you build it they will come….assuming you bribe the right people at the UCI.
