The jumpmat has been missing for months. Ori, the manager, kept promising me he'd bring it back from the Thomas Circle location but he's a LYING LIAR. But yeah, I'll be there. Actually, I'll ask him again tonight to bring it back if he's around.

ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Re: LR vs RL plant for Dunking
« on: February 15, 2011, 02:17:24 pm »You really play that? If so, what do you need to be good at for that? Short distance sprints? Throwing power? What?
Short distance speed/acceleration and COD/quickness are most important, followed by strong cardio and lactic acid tolerance. Points are rarely longer than 2-3 minutes, but they're all out. Hops help a lot, too.
Once you reach a certain minimal level of strength the throwing power becomes about technique more than anything else. I know lots of people that can throw the length of the field (myself included). It's much more about angle and accuracy past a certain minimal point. It's like a three-pointer. Anyone can get the ball to go from the three-point line to the basket, but not many people can get it to go in the basket consistently.
We're getting wayyyy off-topic.

« on: February 15, 2011, 01:32:29 pm »Lower leg felt totally fine yesterday and feels fine again today. It was a birthday extravaganza this weekend: Saturday I spent the whole day helping my mom prepare for my dad's birthday party while he did the rest of his hike, then we had the party, then I was too tired to do much but play cards and go to sleep. Yesterday was my mom's birthday (my parents' birthdays are 5 days apart), so we did some family shit.
I should go to the gym today, but I'm conflicted because A) it's Valentine's Day and B) Tuesdays and Thursdays are generally better because the court doesn't get taken over until 8, rather than 7:15.
what the hell does valentine's day have to do with anything wtf?
word u coulda gone sunday/tuesday/thursday wt.f
happy BDAY to the LBSS-clan.
pc
strong question. the answer is nothing. i had a reason for bringing it up but it's not worth getting into now.

ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Re: LR vs RL plant for Dunking
« on: February 14, 2011, 05:20:10 pm »You ended a LR planter because you probably jump a lot to block shots with your right arm. If you do that, you're going to jump LR so that the right arm is forward to reach towards the jump shooter. Also, shooting off the dribble is usually a LR plant so that the right arm is a bit forward. That skateboard thing, and pretty much anything else - is very indicative of your natural stable position. A stable position is a good position to jump off from.
Whenever I look at Vince (Carter) jumping for a block, he plants RL and goes up with his left hand, because he naturally plants RL. And you can see that in his block shot jumps as well.
PS. My therapist commented on how much more developed my right forearm is. No idea why.
I don't play basketball.
You could've spare both me and you some time and offer the answer to the question "what do you play?"
Didn't think you'd be interested. I play ultimate frisbee, although I'm taking a break at the moment to try to become a better athlete without the risk of spraining my ankle again. FWIW, as a right hander, my left foot is my pivot/plant foot for throws.

Your countries political system is just a horrific mess. Theres really not a huge difference between America and China and Russia these days. You big countries are just a fucking horrific cluster fuck of a fucking mess...
