I'm in the US. One of my hobbies is exploring abandon roads. Anyway to find them on OSM?
I've tried overpass-turbo.eu (uses OSM database) with highway=abandoned or disused:highway=* or abandoned:highway=* but the results were inconsistent and didn't have abandon roads I've identified.
Thanks for the help.
New to AW, but not to competition. I haven't competed in a long time and just had my first tourney a few days ago. Loved it (lost horrendously however.)
Getting up, the drive to the location, looking around during the drive thinking of all the time I put in, the training, the grind, knowing that there wasn't anyone else on the road right now getting ready to compete. Feeling the adrenaline, the music hitting just right, the visualizations, the focus.
Then getting there, weighing in, hearing my name called and walking up to the table, the people around, all sound drowned out, the opponent steps up.
... then getting flash pinned like 4 times, but still it was awesome to compete again. Modified my training routine, got feedback on what I should focus on. Next tourney in 3 weeks.
I'm going to start a juggling club soon (central NJ if anyone is interested.) Probably need to have some props, what are good cheap props for beginners to use? Was thinking lacrosse balls, but any ideas for clubs? Or outside the box any ideas to get old used props?
Just wondering, everyone I know who watches arm wrestling trains or competes. Never really met anyone like a typical guy who would just watch a football/basketball game on a Friday night.
Only one swimming record was barely broken by .007 seconds, two 'clean' athletes won against the PED athletes.
I train naturally, but had it in the back of my mind PEDs could provide enhanced, almost supernatural outcomes, this seems to show otherwise?
Wanted to get people's take in the workout community.
I've been shaving for well over 30 years. I remember when I was younger toilet paper was the way to stop a shaving cut, but for a few decades I've been using Vaseline, what's everyone else's take?
A little while ago someone posted the difficulty of traveling as a night person or on nightshift because of hotel checkout times being accursedly early. (Oh and let's not talk about their breakfast ending at 8:30am.)
This site has day use hotels https://www.dayuse.com/ which has your regular brand name hotels, but they offer the off peak hours during the day generally for a significantly reduced rate.
I haven't used it so I can't vouch for it, I heard it's not in all cities, but if you're traveling and you're on the graveyard shift sleep schedule this might be helpful.
So I have trained most of my life, hard styles; boxing, kyokushin, bjj, a bunch of traditional styles like TKD and Ryukyu Kempo, and was in the military.
My daughter is 12, I want her to have some form of self defense, but she is in no way looking at hard styles. I thought firearms training, but she doesn't want to touch a gun (maybe Filipino knife fighting?)
So I'm looking for styles that can maybe be good against untrained people, guys who are getting a bit handsy, enough to show that she won't be an easy target, but probably wouldn't last against anyone with any training.
To be fair she is resilient and strong, competes in rock climbing and hikes recreationally, but doesn't dig fighting. Or dancing/performing so any style with kata/forms is probably out.
I know, really limited. I only see something like wing chung or maybe something like Japanese ju jitsu.
Any other ideas?
