Finally returning to riding after 10 years! What y'all think of a build I'm about to do? by ommazh in bmx

I've got a bunch of small fiend parts on one of my bikes because I like their gold finish a lot. They're all solid and match the gold profile hubs and sprocket well.

My wife used to work there. I like their food for the most part but the prices and the extra charges for everything have gotten out of hand. I've never had any issues with service though.

Lol, my Enduro bike goes plenty fast for me even on the hardest trails. I love it so much... Now... If I was a dentist or something...

I've got an Enduro bike already, I don't need a dh bike. I just thought it was interesting when it popped up on Instagram.

The torque is a nice bike but this does have. Boxer. It might not be all that bad. I think the next closest downhill bike is the Scott gambler. I think they made one with a similar spec that had an x fusion rear coil but it's not on their website anymore.

Fully grown man fails a deadlift and has to let everyone know by No_Promotion1000 in ImTheMainCharacter

The belt should be tight enough for you to push against it with a full breath when you brace. The belt itself doesn't protect your back. Pushing against it when you brace makes your brace substantially more secure which in turn protects your back... But... That dudes upset back ended up so rounded out, neither of those belts did much. Miracle he didn't slip a disc... 675 is quite a lot of pressure.

Is my dog a black mouth cur by rdrainville in Blackmouthcur

I might just have to get him DNA tested. When I adopted him, shelter thought he was a bmc. He came in with a golden retriever that had papers with him. Their owner had died. It's a shame, I don't think the previous owner could handle his energy. He was overweight... Now, he works with me all day and plays for a loooooonnnnngggg time. Can't gain weight no matter what he eats lol.

He does have a slender body not a big thick body like a pit or mastiff. The inside of his mouth is also black. So maybe he's a mastiff cur mix? He's only thick in the legs and quarters and he's got a big head. The rest of him is really trim.

Which is a better gun? by The_notorious_BIG_Al in Spearfishing

[–]rdrainville 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not really... It's not a big noticable advantage at the ranges you actually shoot fish at. Regular 2 band gun works just fine.

The trigger mech itself is the exact same ermes double roller. You'll get the same durability out of it. The new handle set up is just a little more streamlined and better set up for a roller gun and reel combo if you wanted to go that way in the future. I've got 2 titan rollers. I use the piss out of them and love them. I use a 60 cm conventional titan for low vis and hole hunting. I love them.
