Shebeen Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 Gymnast Shawn put to sleep after breaking leg https://youtu.be/NMsLg4jqlJw okee dokee, so i'm about 25 pages behind, but this immediately made me think of this http://freakonomics.com/podcast/sports-ep-3/ Maybe you’re an obsessive sports fan. Or maybe a more casual fan, and you follow just a couple sports or teams. Maybe you pay no attention to sports, and you only see it when the Olympics are on someone else’s TV. Whichever the case: when you do see those athletes, it’s easy to think of them as existing solely in that context. A full-grown adult. Wearing a uniform. Performing under extraordinary pressure. Focused on a highly specialized task that has zero to do with daily life, or at least your daily life. But is that who those people really are? And how did they get so good at this thing they do? When you see them on TV, all you’re seeing is the outcome. But what were the inputs? We understand that elite athletes represent some magical combination of talent and determination. But what about, say, luck?

gummibear Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 Going to guess that those skates will cost as much as an avg carbon bike does.

Long Wheel Base Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 Going to guess that those skates will cost as much as an avg carbon bike does.Probably right.I remember as a lightie it was all the rage at one stage and we used to mod them to no end. Bearings, wheels, rails, pretty much everything except the actual shoe part. If the road is smooth and he is a good skater then it won't be too difficult but as soon as the road gets rough then the drag and vibration just gets insane. Also dangerous mixing it with cyclist as you can't stop or swerve as quick(or at least I couldn't). gummibear 1

Long Wheel Base Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 we played some street hockey in high school I lost my fav pair of baggie jeans (and a fair amount of skin) during a game Yoh that game was violent. We used to play at the local skate park. I didn't play much, I valued my health too much. We used to pretty much modify any ball game and play it. Played like a handball come soccer thing. Bliksem to okes got hurt. Hands, knees and hips...................

Rigardt@Scott Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 bring back the baggie jeans ... all this slim fit K@K does not fit a cyclists legs and it is a real mission finding jeansTrenery have some jeans that fit, Polo as well (the stretchy and baggy type). Not too pricey either. Always been a struggle finding jeans that fit for me, suprisingly less so now that I'm a fat bastard. When I was in half decent shape the thighs would be too tight and waist too big. I have never and will never understand this skinny jean thing.

mon-goose Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 have a look at the ground at the 1min mark, is that a jumper that didn't judge his height correctly?
