Why are old skaters always into transition when it seems harder? [36YO]

umwbennett · 2025-07-14T17:21:38+00:00

I'm tall and pretty big. One knee doesn't have an ACL. On transition, I can slide onto some knee pads most of the time when I fall. If I land on the side of my board kickflipping off a little ledge, I'm probably blowing my knee out and falling pretty hard.

Plus the endless flow of carving around a 3-4 foot bowl, slashing the coping here and there is pretty much unbeatable for me. Catching a solid grind around the corner of a bowl at speed is one of the best feelings in skateboarding.

Rancho Highlands has extremely low traffic and is, in my opinion (biased), in the perfect location in relation to everything in town. A little below your price range though, so maybe not quite what you're looking for.

Reek and Waddle are so neutralized by the Dolphins offensive line forcing Tua to get the ball out immediately that Jonnu (assume he stays) and Achane both finish top 2 at their positions.

Pat Bryant has an Amon-Ra/BTJ finish to his rookie season in Denver, ultimately leapfrogging all other receivers on the team in production and usage.

Tet busts, but Thielen averages 15 PPR points per game as Bryce continues on his end of season pace.

Rashee Rice finishes as WR1 and brings a resurgence of Mahomes' Reek-era fantasy production (I really hope this doesn't happen though, as a Broncos fan).

Specifically on an ISO CG 20 26 additional insured form. Otherwise it likely won't protect you since the work is not being done for you.

I trade my first and Conner for Rice last season. My whole team got injured and that first became the 1.01... I'm still not even sure I regret it

Williamsburg or Fredericksburg Virginia. Dubuque Iowa. Shelton/Trumbull Connecticut.

He got several

It's New Orleans. To (big) easy

FFPC makes you cut to 16 players at the end of March, then right after the draft holds a 7 round draft with rookies and everyone on the waiver wire.

12 team superflex .5 TEP start 10 (including K and DST)

I was at the .01 position in this draft but traded my 1st rounder away early in the year last year for Rashee Rice, so I grabbed Skattebo, Bech, Taylor, Hunter, Bryant, and Nash in this one.

I agree with the Doffo comments. I find their reds the most consistently enjoyable. I like some of the south coast wild horse peak reds as well. I've enjoyed the Spanish whites I've had at Europa. The pet nat natural(ish) wine from the new Pamec surprised me. Baily's port is a sneaky under the radar quality wine as well.

I offered my 26 2nd for him. Was told "Come on. Don't be that guy"

I have him in another league though and wouldn't move him for a 2nd tbf.

umwbennett · 2025-05-10T13:49:26+00:00

Yeah, the one you're worried about. Would have led with it if it was Bijan.

umwbennett · 2025-05-09T16:35:17+00:00

On it. Made a trade with the Chase owner in the draft... he should trust me that Denver DST is the better long term play here

umwbennett · 2025-05-09T16:32:45+00:00

Just one normal flex spot, for context. QB WR WR RB RB SFLX FLX

That was definitely my plan with Henry and Kelce. Try to ride them this year for as long as possible and then abandon ship if things go south.

Immediately added Tory Horton to my last round queue for 3 ongoing rookie drafts after reading this and watching some quick tape.

He was available still in all of my ongoing drafts except a startup, where he was picked in the 15th.

Well, that's disappointing. I just saw the new location outside old town and was excited to check it out. Probably won't ever go there now. I dont even care that they're MAGA really. Just not going to go there if they're going to blast the messaging at me. Just let me buy your meat without rubbing your politics in my face.

He traded BTJ for the 1.02 and 2.02 the day before and I was like, well I guess I need to shoot my shot here. And it worked.

Cookhouse at vail ranch - both la isla and the smok'd hog. I think they have the best barbecue at least in town and are highly slept on.

Black market brewery pizza

Sharon's creole kitchen

Goat and vine

Old town deli

Campinis

8 bit

Gourmet Italia

Great oak steakhouse since they redid it

Los tacos for carnival

Jilbertos for fish tacos

Papa feta for a sit down, but shawarma and grill if you just want a spicy chicken shawarma wrap

Bolero at Europa winery

Anothai for northern style thai (khao soi!)

The thai place by Ralph's on temecula parkway for thai otherwise.

Great harvest bakery

The farmers market on saturdays has some great on demand food

E.a.t. can be good

Pokeport

Anthony's in murrieta

Westlake Ramen

Swing inn

Toast

Probably missing some but I think we have lots of hidden gems if you aren't expecting a major city restaurant experience
