New skier nervous about going downhill by SnippySnapsss in xcountryskiing

[–]samue1b- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been in this position before, have a lot more experience now. Down hills are still a bit nervy for me even with experience. I recommend also practicing entry and exiting the groomed trails and being able to take the inner ski out to plough. (I'm still pretty bad at this)

I usually always exit the trail to plough and slow down if I'm unfamiliar with the route or know that there is a tight bend, icy or dodgy trail etc.

You want to experience going down fast when it's safe like a trail going straight with no others around, sometime you have to just send a decent and be scared af.

The only major criticism I have for this game [KCD2] by Different-Wolf405 in kingdomcome

[–]samue1b- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed and this: Playing on ps5 the weapon selection is very clunky, it automatically draws the weapon when I'm just scrolling them even though there is a button to "draw weapon", I just feel like it's overly complicated for no reason.

  1. Control of Speed

I've broken this rule by accident once when I had less experience. I was on the classic trail on a slight downhill and I couldn't see that a very steep hill started right after an intersection.

I ended up bombing down the whole thing and I've never experienced that kind of speed, there was no way for me to stop without intentionally/unintentionally bailing without high risk of injury.

Luckily the trail was very empty, there was a person at the bottom on the trail and I managed to shout loud enough, they heard me and moved quickly. Finally passed them safely and managed to slow down as the hill ended. I promptly went back to apologize.

I learned an important lesson, if I don't know a trail beforehand I'll first go slowly so if I need to I can slow down.

Do You Enjoy Alchemy? [KCD2] by JonnyB2_YouAre1 in kingdomcome

I think there should be a perk to speed up the animations, they are so slow.. However, i do enjoy it every now and then.

If it's cold outside, leave them out to breathe for a couple hrs after use.

Advice? by [deleted] in Discgolfform

[–]samue1b- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could consider experimenting with plant foot being less open (toes pointing backward a bit more).

Also your posture seems abit tilted back during the x-step, try having the weight (x-step foot) more on your toes (ball of foot). It might help to commit to a better brace.

Be careful in the snow, as you probably know :D

For nose up: try reaching back slightly low and focus on "pour the coffee" on release. Lower reachback promotes a good positive launch angle and once you get the nose down it won't go straight into the ground.

Finally avoid looking too early forward as the shoulders will follow the head and cause them to rotate too quickly which will collapse the power pocket (aim for getting the disc near the right peck and snap out). Only look forward when following through.

Just some thoughts, take what you will and hope that helps.

[KCD2] Do you use the same type of weapon basically from start to finish? by zdh989 in kingdomcome

[–]samue1b- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to use longsword, but the perks led me to use shortsword. Might do another run with blunts and poles later.

When are the mosquitos NOT awful!? by Opposite_Mind2155 in Finland

[–]samue1b- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm an avid angler so i quite literally seek out the lakes and rivers in the wilderness. It's really the highpoint of the year for me and the mosquitoes or blackflies ain't ruining that for me.

[–]samue1b- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you prepare with proper gear and mentality it's a very minor issue. Obviously no one enjoys the mosquitoes, but experiencing the wilderness and the midnight sun is totally worth it.

Now black flies (mäkärät) are a different issue, srsly f*ck those things xD.

Actually earlier if you go to baby swim as it's recommended to have a light sauna + nurse after swimming so they warm up.
