She got on and immediately lost control when she revved it, and hit my truck. It didn't even take off like a bat out of hell, she just lost control after less than 2 seconds. Can't wait for her to be in a 1500 lb death machine. 🙄 Last year we did e-bikes through a big conservation area on vacation. We went over this pedestrian bridge and my daughter was going to fast when this right angle turn came up and wiped out bad. She was all banged and bloodied up. And we were like 5 miles from place we had to drop bikes off. Long story short - we got through it and got bikes back. But it was an ordeal. She still has scars from it. Other than that it was fun.

Girls are just a weird group. My daughter played WR and actually had good hands but runs like a baby deer. You hear her hit 2-3 doorways a day with her shoulder. But her hand eye coordination is good... how the hell does that happen. She isn't hitting some growth spurt. lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I frequently think back to my youth and one memory that sticks out is just how they used to have a rope climb in gym class. I saw it at other schools too, I think it was probably quite common. And you know these gyms have high ceilings, probably 50 or 60 feet. And everyone would make an attempt to climb the rope. I think it was actually part of the fitness testing for boys. it’s surreal to me looking back that they had us do that with basically a thin mat lying below to catch us if we fell. I don’t have to do any research to know that the rope climb in school is discontinued in the year 2024. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: yeah i can’t imagine any public school is still doing that one anymore. I’ll have to ask my wife, who’s an elementary teacher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember I generally sucked at it, but out of the blue one year, I want to say in like second or third grade, something just clicked and I managed to climb to the top of the rope. The thing about the rope climb though is most healthy kids are generally strong enough to do it, up to a certain age where they start getting denser faster than they're getting stronger. Which agrees with my experience because I think by fourth or fifth grade we weren't doing it anymore, probably because nobody was strong enough to do it anymore at that age Edited March 15 by chisoxguy7 added healthy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEAR FACE DOWN ARROW Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 That was the best! I remember feeling the king of the world when we had to do that. Also recall one kid got freaked out had to have custodians go up and pry his fingers off the rope like 10' off the ground with a ladder. My kids school still has the rope, as well as gymnastic rings, but for no reason I have been able to figure out, they're in the auditorium. 11 hours ago, CBears019 said: I loved that one!

Sugashane Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 If there is one class I despise, it is anything about managing Supply Chains. I don't know why they are so brutal for me, I really don't think they should be this complicated, but FFS give me two organic chem classes before I deal with this bull**** for another 5 weeks. I just spent the better of 20 hours making and tweaking an Excel document to help me answer the 6 questions on my assignment, and I have no clue if I was right on them.
