Thanks for the video! The fact that the Peertube player allows playing the video frame by frame is very useful. Youtube doesn't allow that.

Nice! I like how the brush texture is clearly visible, it gives it a unique touch.

Nice!

I practiced pivot last summer, but it's been a long time and I'm not sure I can still pull one off. I've never tried to slide one, though.

What kind of wheels do you use?

Retreat (2011), de Carl Tibbetts (www.imdb.com) French

Un thriller en huis-clos où Thandiwe Newton (Maeve dans West World) et Cillian Murphy (Shelby dans Peaky Blinders) voient débarquer un Jamie Bell (Billy Elliot dans Billy Elliot) blessé et inquiétant, qui leur dit que c'est l'apocalypse et que maintenant il va falloir faire ce qu'il dit....

90's (2019)

★★★☆

Un récit initiatique touchant (…) l’innocence teintée d’inconscience, façon Larry Clark (le côté putassier en moins).

@B_Renger Tiens, j'avais jamais fait gaffe que le titre "mid90s" était devenu "90's" en version française.
Je l'ai bien apprécié, ça fait toujours plaisir de voir un film qui fait du skateboard un de ses sujets principaux.

Portal.

I'll never forget the day I started playing this game. It was so cool and so different from anything else I had played that I couldn't stop playing, and finished the game in one session. Awesome night!

@thraximundar Hi Tim! Nice to meet a fellow longboarder and programmer!
I've created a kbin magazine for longboarding, feel free to come tell us your experience about LDP, freestyle or anything! It's at https://kbin.social/m/longboarding.

Paper Towns (2015) French

Vu il y a quelques jours. Ce film est l'adaptation à l'écran d'un roman de John Green, que vous connaissez peut-être grâce à une autre adaptation, The Fault in Our Stars (2014), tirée elle aussi d'un de ses romans. On retrouve d'ailleurs ici les mêmes scénaristes (dont John Green lui-même, qui est également producteur...

L'affiche de Paper Towns montrant deux visages en gros plan. Margo, le personnage joué par Cara Delevingne est à gauche, ses cheveux sont soulevés par le vent et cachent partiellement son visage. À droite et en retrait, Quentin, le personnage joué par Nat Wolff.

When I started longboarding last summer, cracks, bumps and little twigs were a real problem for me. My Dinghy came with 60 mm wheels, but I replaced them with 72 mm Plow Kings and suddenly I became unstoppable!

Climbing up curbs is still a problem. I can get one foot on the ground and push to pass small ones, but I wouldn't mind learning one or two tricks to climb them with style. The method described by Lotfi in his video looks nice, but I need to practice my manuals first.

Wow, that's impressive! Thanks for the links!

Currently, everything has trouble federating with kbin.social. :/
But the fact that so many users are joining in is excellent news!

AFAIK, one month ago was the moment that the project went to public beta.
That's when I learned about it, with this post:

Il y a un peu plus d'un mois, j'ai vu passer un post d' @ernest (celui-ci : https://kbin.social/m/fediverse/t/511/Kbin-Roadmap-2023 ).
C'était assez long à lire, mais intrigant, et j'ai donc créé un compte pour tester. Ce qui m'a séduit·e, c'est le fait que kbin propose non seulement une alternative à reddit mais aussi une partie "microblog" qui semblait permettre d'interagir plus facilement avec les services de microblogging du Fediverse (Pleroma, Akkoma, Mastodon, *Key, etc).

Deux points noirs toutefois : l'endroit était assez vide, et le logiciel lui-même était encore très jeune, beaucoup de choses restaient (et restent) encore à implémenter. J'ai donc continué à jeter un coup d'œil curieux de temps en temps, mais sans vraiment y investir beaucoup de temps.

Les choses ont bien sûr changé du tout au tout ces derniers jours, suite à l'afflux de personnes cherchant soudainement une alternative à Reddit. Toute cette nouvelle activité fait plaisir à voir, j'ai hâte de voir comment kbin va évoluer dans les semaines qui viennent, et comment va s'établir la fédération avec le reste du Fediverse.

I've never used tail guards yet. But each time I practice some freestyle trick that involves popping the board, I'm a bit worried by the fact that I'm damaging my board, even so slightly.
I must say that the main reason that I still don't have tail guards on my boards is that I need to drill holes in them, and I juste don't have a driller. OK, not a good reason since I guess I could borrow one.

OC How did you end up finding kbin? Did you migrate here from Reddit?

I was initially introduced to Mastodon a few years ago by a close friend and picked up on it quickly given the benefits of not having to deal with advertising, or being shown what a mega-corporation thought I should have to see through algorithms. I have since found a great instance over on cupoftea.social that promotes quality...

What was your favourite video game as a kid? 🕹

I really liked The Sentinel. Very abstract, but simple to play. Repetitive but challenging.

As for Elite, I've always thought it's the one game I would take with me on a desert island.

Damn! My autocorrect had corrected "chinchiller" to "chinchilla", and I didn't notice until today! Sorry for that.
By the way, the Chinchiller was named after longboarder Kyle Chin who helped design the board.

I hope it pumps well! I've just ordered mine.

It should arrive tomorrow! I'll post my first impressions.
