Did we coin the term "DAB"?
Posted: Tue Mar 08, 2016 12:13 pmI'm pretty sure we did.
Even 9 year olds that climb v14 I coach know what a dab is...

But did we co-opt it for the boldering community?!?!?
I think the climbing dictionary credit us with coining chuffer...

You better ask EZfrag about that.
Does b.com get literary credits for our awesome impact on art and culture?
Re: Did we coin the term "DAB"?
Posted: Fri Mar 11, 2016 2:40 pmI think one would have to seek that kind of fame... like an art and culture numberchaser.
I have found that b.commers tend to be the thought leaders making shit happen behind the scene.

what do i have to look forward to? hordes of college kids blasting dubstep in the woods and spraying beta at me on problems i've had on lock for years. a world where i have to alpine climb to find the last untouched gem boulder lines. people talking shit on instagram? massive erosion. fuck that i'm out. i'm gonna skate bowls and have fun. have fun not having any fun bouldering.
and the saddest part is that i can go to the gym with my family like once a week and still climb V7 but it doesn't bring me any joy. when i top out i feel nothing. way back in the day i remember training my ass off to send V3. and sending a proj was like a week-long high. i remember trying to pull of the ground on V7 and thinking how is this humanly possible? and now that i am freak strong for life, i don't care. life lesson.
If I didn't have stellar FA's landing in my lap on a regular basis and was a stepdad I'd probably feel the same way, for real tho
That and the v13/
Fuck bitches fuxk money

You should be the first person to climb Evilution, then skate down the slab. Bust a kickflip on the drop. Maybe that'll bring it all back around for you ...
You know, the way some chuffers like to climb himalayan peaks, just so can they ski the north slope ..

Absolutely nothing if you can actually ski. I would probably die a horrible, compound fracturous, cartwheeling death.
