    Oh boy! We only let them do what they were interested in.

    We caught a shit ton of flak from the Wisteria Lane and social media crowd for letting them get serious about figure skating back in the day. Fuck those folks.

    I do prefer dance though. Ice cold arenas are not my thang.

    You know... that's the thing though. Those are both solitary sports. They're doing it for them and not a team. Sooooo much better. It's almost like it's the opposite of socialism.

    That's it... the gov't is driving people into socialist behaviours to push their agenda! LOL!

    The soloist part of skating was one of the bigger problems, combine with the nutty competitive parents. A few with elementary age kids were home schooling them so that they could spend at least 8hrs at the rink. :rolleyes:


    Dance is a nice mix. They do a lot of solo work, but also are on teams. There has been a lot of healthy relationship and team building without the competitiveness.


    In the end, our favorite quote is: you are only ever competing with yourself.

    Yeah... those sports are crazy. One of my friends growing up was training to be an Olympic gymnast. Well... at least that was his parents' plan. Thankfully, they came to their senses, dialed it back, and gave him back his childhood.

    That's great about the dance. I wish my daughter was into dance, but she's not. She dances all the time, but does it more to be silly than as an artistic expression. Plus... my wife tainted her with her white chic moves. LOL!

    Oh yeah. One of the older kids at the rink was talented enough for the olympics and everyone one else smelled blood in the water. It was a glorious day leaving that behind.


    Thanks! I'm the one with the shit moves. They do get a laugh. As long as she's having fun! I have seen some pretty comical routines. The trouble is finding the right studio that supports it.

    Had a great drive this afternoon. Tune started to settle. No more quirky 1st gear and tip in. Got in some good pulls in 1st, 2nd and 3rd. And holy shite all I can say is...wow. I'm at a loss for words. Im really rearing because now im not even sure if my current setup can handle any more thru the curves. I found myself for the first time with more throttle than the truck could handle on the switchbacks I run on a weekly basis. The grades I usually have to drop a gear when approaching a curve, now I can power thru, albeit slowly but no lug then accelerate on out. Still less then 100 miles but definitely impressed with the top end power and low end torque. Kinda scared myself a few times, might need to lower the front end a bit

    I keep getting an Error whenever I try to download the premium base file. The premium SFOB file downloads just fine. I am updated the flash manager and purged the data already. Is there a link to download the premium base file? ECU 04B41-MT. Thank you.

    Well, I’m home and I’ve been tinkering with this for a few hours now. I haven’t managed to figure out how to download the OFT files. @OVTune is super busy I’m sure and hasn’t been able to respond to my email yet so I guess I’m stuck with 1.05 for now. I’m a little bummed but 1.05 is still a stellar tune! If anyone has any insight, I’d really appreciate it!

    Did you have an older version of flash manager?

    some of us have had to uninstall what we had and install the new one. That fixed it for me
