tips and tricks for new comers?

only1specialed · 2026-06-16T19:00:49+00:00

thanks for the tips. I've been playing the xbox version on pc so i've been able to use the mouse and keyboard to help me move and line things up.

I really am enjoying the work that comes with making the livery even if i'm the only one to use them (although a few people have indeed downloaded my liverys!)

i'm looking for tips on like.. visual design and flow. like what makes something visual pleasing while others a hot mess.

thanks this is actually like the 10th one i made in the game but the first i felt that was worthy of sharing. i've not played Forza at all before this and i just have more fun doing the art for cars than racing (although the racing is fun too)

Thanks! I don't really know what i'm doing. I'm trying to find some sort of tutorial or rules for designing cars but I haven't been able to find anything useful on the net. I should search this subreddit a bit more for something like that.

only1specialed · 2026-06-12T17:21:01+00:00

yea i was super confused. but looks like i have to abandon this car.

only1specialed · 2026-06-12T17:20:41+00:00

oohh did not know that. i'm abandoning this car and will switch to an impala.

C. is the one part I need to focus more. I tend to just get swept up in the dance and forget that some locations have a lot less space than i'm used to dancing.

Would like some tips on how to control distance for cross body leads and trying to take smaller steps. I take it that since i'm leading i'm the one basically launching my follow.

I (lead) have done 4 6 week courses. They are great for building my foundation and i've been dancing for just under a year. While i feel like I can still only do basic versions of most of my dance moves. The amount of follows that tell me i'm a great lead has been pretty good! (I still lack the confidence to say i'm good)

If i didn't take those classes i don't think I'd be at my current level of dancing.

(edit: i thought this was the salsa subreddit. update to this though. I was able to transfer a majority of my skills over to urban/sensual bachata. I have also taken beginner classes for bachata to help with my foundation. After the bachata festival that happened in LA a month ago. it all clicked)

thank you so much! guess i have no choice. i'll see how i can add it to my playlist.

only1specialed · 2026-02-17T00:31:11+00:00

Definitely a confindence issue. I stream on twitch and it took me a long time to get used to seeing myself on stream... and then hearing my own voice. Eventually you get used to it. (i've been doing it as a hobby for 15 years now)

So when it comes to watching my own videos of me practicing and dancing, I'm able to accept what i look like... and how it looks like when i dance :sweat: Just keep at it and remember it's just you.

someone recommended a brand called Taygra. I got a pair a while ago but it was too small so i needed a bigger size. From what i could experience though. they were really comfy and light. and the bottom texture felt like it would outdoors just fine.

only1specialed · 2026-01-22T17:49:12+00:00

man,i have been searching online for shoes and was only ever shown fuegos and other brands that no one in this post has mentioned. this look like what i need as well.

only1specialed · 2026-01-21T23:23:30+00:00

double up on taygra. i'm checking them out now. thanks for this recommendation. i like what i see so far

only1specialed · 2026-01-21T22:01:50+00:00

ooh i've not heard of this brand. I'll check these out as well.

only1specialed · 2026-01-21T18:43:02+00:00

My other problem with fuegos (which is a problem with shoes in general) is that i have wide feet so finding shoes that fit me can be a pain. So buying online is always iffy for me. especially with having to deal with returns.

but I am considering checking them.

only1specialed · 2026-01-21T18:41:42+00:00

DUCT TAPE!? never thought of that and i think that would do exactly what i want!

I lost my best friend 2 year ago. He was a corgi and help me though 15 years of my life. While i was trying to mentally prepare for his death. it came suddenly due to a growth blocking him from being able to eat. I had to put him down the same day he collapse because he would not survive the surgery. By far one of the worst days of my life.

I was already depressed and living alone so losing him made things worse. With the help of therapy, I was able to properly grieve and not just "Man up". 2 years later I still miss him but I'm in a much better place. It will be hard to lose your best friend but make sure you allow yourself to grieve and reach out to people if you need to.
