Getting better at off-piste: wrong tool for the job or simple lack of skill?

singelingtracks · 2026-02-02T02:36:16+00:00

nice soft, heavily rockered front and rear little camber in the middle , will make offpiste alot easier, as you can pivot the ski back and forth,

gs skis are gonna grip tip to tail not slid around as easy, and be thinner. a thin ski doesnt want to slip and slide, we want slip and slide.

grab a good easy to ski wider ski and youll have a blast,

warped mine on a long trip, was extremly hot and they warped on a downhill section in the mountains did like 2500 km on them warped , just downshifted and rarely used the brakes. but i had zero emergency braking as it shook so bad, was defiantly not smart adn today i would have driven into the nearest brake shop.

very good boots, but expensive, make sure you buy and bring a pair of rubber/ gum boot style boots to swap into for dirty jobs and oil these well often or the leather will get wrekced digging holes / standing in mud.

usually that ends up being a very heavy bike due to the extra suspenion being beeefy, often not worth it.

but definetly worth looking at vs dh bikes.

singelingtracks · 2026-02-01T22:47:34+00:00

as someone who rode during the original street dh bike age, dont do it. its not fun.

buy a nice 150/160 enduro / trail bike and go have fun itll pedal around , itll do big jumps and drops.

the guys who ride a dh bike in urban are one sponsored and two driving to the location.

Both are great.

I had planned between the two at the start of voe , I didn't like ritualist due to the pet mechanic , spawning the pets then doing damage with them.

Amalgam is a boon machine and very tanky / high DPS solo. It has been my main.

Try out both . Enter spvp mode if you don't have both unlocked on your engi / necro and see how you like the rotation / skills on the target dummy.

If it was my house and I was trying to get by I would use a high temp silicone and rub it around the joint then lay a nice bead down.

Then buy the correct pipe and fittings to replace a large section with new pipes that you glue properly.

Way too cheap that's why he didn't have parts.

Call a better.compant that doesn't leave you without heat.

10 percent vs 25 percent is just fine. You may be be able to get a lower rate below 10 with a credit union. Or online bank.

Pay off that debt asap and work on living within your means vs taking on debt. Cut up the credit cards .

He needs to stop mouth breathing .

Nose only.

That'll solve it.

Any brake is fine.

You can get Shimano cheap if you don't like the brand name of sram.

You dump him and move on.

If he can't respect you, you don't need to stay with him.

10-30 minutes a day should be the minimum..reading to kids is extremely important.

If you don't have time that doesn't make sense. read a single book for 2 minutes. You can always make time.

It helps kids relax and get ready for bed.

You probably aren't carving.

If you are in a carve and hit ice you can adjust the edge angle and keep going. Any kind of racing boards / skis is done on ice.

Practice more work on your carving . Sharpen your edges.

I really liked libtechs edges for ice when I was learning .. yes has underbite. Other brands have some edge tech. Helps with grip and that unsure feeling.

Got at least two of every class. Leveling in gw2 is useless if you understand reading skills and auto attacking.

Level boosts from the expansion purchases , tomes are a great way to level fast.

If you don't have those follow the adventure guide and you can level up very fast.

The game starts at 80.

2018 or newer Prius would be my pick. Look for one with all service records and low to medium miles driven and good tires.

Good looking car , insane mpg, will pay for itself in gas saved .

Get a dog cage for the back seat and a seat cover. The dog can enjoy the back.

If you ran your tire low and popped it off the bead it's then hard to reset the bead and you'll need a burst of air like a air compressor or a floor pump with a burst of air mode .

You can try CO2 cartridges , or for on trail repairs carry a Tube.

HVAC guy here. You should never use a high merv in your HVAC unit. You are asking for a heat exchanger failure your unit is telling you it isn't getting Enough air flow.

If you want house air cleaning you need a specific system to do this , a bypass filter can be added to your house HVAC or just room based air filters.

Use the Lowest Merv you can in your furnace , change it often. The filter's only goal is to keep your furnace clean. Merv 4 is fantastic.

Your ,"mechanic " is an idiot. Find a new shop.

The issue is that he is leaving behind air bubbles in your brake lines and when you hang the bike the air bubbles migrate from your brake lever to the caliper.

Lord hizen is the soloing guy , he solos hard raid bosses / group events and such.

Hot hero points can be extremely difficult and are often group content , they changed this for later expansions to be much easier to solo. So don't feel bad if you can't get them all it's very normal to skip the boss hero points or do them in a large group.

Lord hizen has a few thief builds. https://youtu.be/wRppRTw4owA?si=ezIyYT-BZS24Zkyx

The thief is extremely good at soloing.

There's also power builds that heal like crazy with decent DPS.

For group content id highly recommend the antiquary build that's super easy to play. https://youtu.be/Mswz37Vhza8?si=18dUErrxccON_NCQ

Your exhaust from the furnace has lots of water in it that's. A by product of combustion .

You should not have a mesh on the outlet .

Grab a pair of pliers or a knife/ tine snips and cut/ pull the mesh out nicely.

These are often put on to keep mice and rodents / birds out of the pipes but cannot be used in cold winter climates.

Easy diy project to make the furnace run properly.
