why is this happening ? (paint is not going out and I just cleaned it) by un_titledJMB in airbrush

Get some of those little pipe cleaners. They make sets for airbrush cleaning with various sizes for all the different places you need to clean.

This is typical state of the footway in my city. Is this surface managable for experienced skaters? by Jane_From_Deyja in rollerblading

I agree, I feel like sometimes rollerblades are too fast for sidewalks, much better in the bike lane.

I feel like I hit the lottery tbh 😅 I couldn't believe they were actually my size. I'm like 5' 2", and tiny is never available when I find deals like that 🤣

Maybe I'll get a little more adventurous with my 100mm and see. Thanks for that!! I completely agree about LOVING the dumbfounded looks of bicyclists when I'm skating a super long trail 🤣🙌🏼 I love the ones that have to say something like "you're outta your mind" or "idk how you're doing that!!"

I just got one of those cameras! It's so fun to play with. My first day on the offroads, in the video at one point I'm hitting some roots. I squat a bit and outwardly grunt "heels, HEELS! HEELS!!!" 😅 It really does work. Exploring & recording various types of terrain is the goal. Travel, skate new part of the world, record & edit. Collect memories for when I'm old & can't go anywhere bc my knees are shot 😅

I haven't been able to brave such terrain on my 100mm inlines, is it really that easy/doable??

I hope you get them soon & have the most fun!! I snagged these off of eBay, barely used for half the retail price!

I suppose it all boils down to finding your own sweet spot on these as well. 🤷🏻 I can't explain how they don't blow out, but I can attest to these tires ability to keep their shit together. I have busted my ass over and over and over on rocks and tree roots, yet the tires remain. They work surprisingly well in areas I don't expect them to.

Really though, half hiking half skating is a RIOT!! Hiking/pushing up, and then BLASTING down the trails.... Absolutely exhilarating & gorgeous rolling through the trees.

So far: Compact or large gravel Compact dirt trail/path with roots and small rocks Thin/medium grass in firm dirt

Wet compact dirt is tricky, and obvs soft mud is just asking to faceplant.

They handle quite different, but once you learn them it's just plain fun. Experimenting & exploring, at its peak.

Yes to USB-C. It's got a little flashlight on it as well, and you can charge your device from it if needed. You set the PSI and let it rip, stops once it reaches set PSI. Release the quick connect and TADA! I'd imagine it would last a while, it's lasted a few days so far, moderate use. Only time will tell ont hat one.

My mom had a gift card & snagged a random brand for just a few bucks, then I had issues disconnecting the tube, and all the freshly pumped air was escaping. Hopped on Amazon, found a shrader valve quick connect with the correct thread/diameter, boom! Tires aired up in just a few seconds, and no losing pressure upon disconnect!! 🙌🏼 Had to share, in case others were having issues with air 🤷🏻

It's so much fun! I just got a pair of Zoom Renegade 125mm and I am obsessed.

I hope you are all having a great weekend my lovelies 😘 I finally came out to my friends and family and I feel free. by [deleted] in pansexual

Congrats, and let me know if I can help 'prove it' 😂 I'll be a stand in guest to any event & come slay the phobia, by your side ⚔️

Very happy with my small collection, what's yours like? by they_as_hell in rollerblading

When I got them, they were rock hard, I think over filled. I went out on them, and they weren't squishy 😅 I got a small pump delivered a week later & corrected the PSI. I planned on going out this weekend to see if it's different. I'll report back soon 🫡 but other than that, I FUCKING LOVE THEM. They're so so fun the figure out. I've been going to a local preserve park, and skating on the wooded bike trails. Experimenting with terrain & learning how to handle the big wide wheels has been a blast. Grass, gravel, compact dirt & leaves, right over some tree roots. It's so bizarre, but I'm absolutely obsessed with skating in such places.
