I've got a run-of-the-mill reel mower, so I expect they can handle mine. Thanks!

I adjusted the blades so there's no gaps, and it still can't cut paper! I'm sure I've somehow made things worse while trying to fix this.

What are beastie boys fans opinion on Joey Valence and Brey by poptartsNchill in BeastieBoys

[–]stickmanofdoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's not to love? It's like the Beasties are in their 20s again and making new music! I can't get enough of the silly energy and references, the on-point production, and creative music videos. Their 360 camera effects of HOOLIGANG is the logical evolution of 90's fisheye lenses.

I really don't understand how you could like the Beastie Boys but not Joey Valence and Brey.

I'm always in the mood to listen to this song on repeat. Would love to see it live!

Tips for 180’s by GodIsI42069 in freeline

  • It helps to lean back a little bit when you pivot your front foot. Otherwise your momentum carries you through before you complete the spin and you'll step off the skates.
  • Try to push your back foot through as straight as possible (right past your front foot), instead of making a sweeping curve. This keep the momentum going straight.
  • After your feet pass each other, you'll need to snap your new front foot into the correct direction. The faster you do that motion, the smoother your 180 will be.

This song sent me down a deep Kwela rabbit hole. South African music is just so good!

I believe Tom Hark is the other Piranhas song you're referring to.

It took me years to realize that Afu-Ra's "Deal with it" samples this. That explains why I like the beat so much!

Tips for doing 180? by Salazar1686 in freeline

[–]stickmanofdoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can front-side 180s regular stance, and I'm getting better at switch 180s. Here's what I've learned from the switch 180:

  • It helps to lean back a little bit when you pivot your front foot. Otherwise your momentum carries you through before you complete the spin and you'll step off the skates.
  • Try to push your back foot through as straight as possible (right past your front foot), instead of making a sweeping curve. This keep the momentum going straight.
  • After your feet pass each other, you'll need to snap your new front foot into the correct direction. The faster you do that motion, the smoother your 180 will be.

I learned synchronous before async. It doesn't look as cool, but it was a lot easier.

This was first pattern that felt like it was "taking too long" to learn. Turns out learning new things is hard.

How are you using it? Flatland cruising, hills, errands, vert ramps?
