Only been really getting into skating for about a week.

How do I kickturn more comfortably? I can push around and turn normally for the most part but before I start trying to cruise around town I want to learn kick turns. Problem is I am having a hard time turning my shoulders I think and I'm only able to do very small turns. I've managed to do a couple 180s off of a slope but then I try it again after and stumble off the board. How do you get yourself to commit?

Also, how fast is too fast to be doing flat ground kick turns? I imagine if i came up to a corner going like 4-5mph and tried it, I would just launch the board.

Sidenote, how should my shoulders face when just cruising in a straight line. I notice i tend to turn my shoulders forwards but google says they should be parallel to the board which seems uncomfortable.

I originally applied for inside wireman probably February or March 2025. My test went pretty good but I think I got a low interview score and placed around 200. Last time I called them a few months ago and I was placed over 300 by then.

Am I able to redo the entire application process? If so, when? If I were to try to redo the entire process would I still need the 1000hrs done like I would if I was just trying to reinterview?

Ive been fishing several times over the last couple months and today I finally caught one. A nice smallmouth on a wacky rig. My lip grippers have a scale and I think it said somewhere around 4lbs but not sure how accurate it is.

Can't wait to go back out tomorrow!

Are there any good kits for air suspension? I had coilovers on my previous car and was thinking of getting BC's on my Veloster but I kinda wanna go the bag route this time. I'm just not having luck finding kits for my car.

Pretty sure I have a coolant leak. I was working on the car yesterday and I saw a couple green drops on the floor. Checked the coolant level and its a little below the low line. I have work and things to do and I dont have a second car to drive.

What makes the manual velosters burble more than the auto or dct? Every video of a manual veloster with an exhaust is just crazy burbles.

I just started fishing and not sure what the good places are. I tried fishing a couple times in Lake Tapps and I didnt catch anything off the shore. Are there any good lakes around?

Im planning on going up to Lake Meridian and possibly American Lake.

I am heavily debating selling my computer and buying either a PS5 or Xbox. I just don't want to end up regretting getting rid of the PC and end up building a new one. Especially with ram pricing right now. Is this a bad idea?
