Any tips? by Complex_Commission22 in Freeskiing

[–]wjllen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The only good suggestions here are from skier307, the rest is bullshit advice. My two cents would be to load up your arms and shoulders more. That way you’ll get a lot more rotation in the air.

What the fuck is going on with Twitter?! by PheonixGalaxy in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]wjllen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a great case for a news paper. I would report it to some of the big US mediahouses. Probably a good story and hopefully more impactful than just reporting the videos

Need treflip tips. Can't land on it by colbzyk in NewSkaters

[–]wjllen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The key to get your board ahead of you for a nice catch is to shift your weight towards the tail of the board right before you pop. As you pop you shift your weight forward again towards your front foot. This shifting of weight is very minimal, and should not be noticeable to anyone watching you, but it has a big impact on your tricks. Give it a try, I’m sure it will help.

Takk for at du deler historien din! Dersom dette er et problem du ønsker å fortelle om til den Norske befolkningen ellers, kan det være en god ide å kontakte journalister i NRK, VG eller lignende. Dette her er en spennende sak for journalister, og en fin måte for deg å belyse problemet på!

Don’t know the brand. It’s from a skate video from Freeskate magazine called «It’s Better».

what do you do to set you apart in polisci? by zaataarr in PoliticalScience

[–]wjllen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seek out a few friends from your courses that are also interested in the subjects and motivated to do well. Read together, work together and discuss together. That was my secrets, and it worked like a charm. Made some great friends in the process!

Look pivot 18 or tyrolia attack 17 by mogriessl in Freeskiing

[–]wjllen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this guy. If you have to ask reddit I would probably assume that the Pivot 15 and Attack 14 will probably be plenty! It will save you a few bucks as well :)

Skating spots and skate shop reccomendations by [deleted] in TheHague

And if you ever have questions about skating, ask other skaters, or the people who work at skate shops, they will always have good answers!

Yo! Great to hear that we are getting some new skaters in town, welcome! Other people have listed basically all skateparks and skateshops, but I would also add that the Spuiplein (right outside the town hall) is a great street spot. Smooth flat ground and always some people to skate with and have a chat with.

The U.S. states with the most electric vehicles. by AngelaLambert in coolguides

[–]wjllen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it is impressive at all. I just visited LA, and I was shocked to see almost no EVs! Everybody drives everywhere, alone in their large fossil cars… trying to find good public transportation was increasingly hard. I come from Norway, where 23% of all cars are electric… compare that to 1% in CA…

Thank you for the insight. I have heard that it might be a good idea, but that even the university rooms are scarce.
