I started skating again at the beginning of the first lockdown here in the UK, when the gyms shut and I couldn't do powerlifting anymore. I'm still super heavy (280-ish pounds) but I'm getting pretty confident again. Super stoked to get my tre-flips back after a 20 year break. Took me a while to get them on this bank.

I cannot, because I cannot kickflip. I could probably manage a 360 shove for you though. might annihilate my ankles before the make but I can try lol

Actually I won't even post a video of me doing a kick flip because I'm so bad at them. Like it's technically right but nobody wants to see that.

To be fair, that's a pretty nice heelflip. I'd love to be able to do those, I should really go back to them.

When I first heard about heelflips I thought “What? No way people can do that!” So I tried one... and landed it. I think it took me another 7 months before I ever landed another one. That is my heelflip story.

Nice. That's a legit full rotation three flip.

Anybody got an old deck or two they’d like to donate for an art project? Popsicle, cruiser, longboard, whatever. Beat up is fine, I’ll be stripping and completely repainting them, probably not with any intent of riding them. I’d pay shipping.

I drat near earned the thread title last night when I attempted baby’s first manual over a big crack in a parking lot and sent the board into the street and myself onto my hand and elbow, jamming up my shoulder in the process.

Still got like another hour in after and commuted today. Every week or so I make some kind of noticeable progress and it gets more and more fun.

I’m gonna build a longboard for longer distance travel on bike paths and good bike lanes, carving where I can find chill slopes, and maybe learning how do slide a little. Skateshred.com has a good selection of drop decks and a good discount right now. I was thinking a top-mounted drop down deck with a shallow-moderate drop would be stronger, easier to push long distance, and easier to learn how to slide. No crazy downhill poo poo, just noob freeride attempts. Some articles and Reddit people said drop through would be about the same or better. I don’t want something totally slammed, just low enough to be stable and easy on my front knee. Would an 8-ply maple dropthough be strong enough to have a long life? I tend to baby my outdoor gear, so it won’t die from neglect or water damage, but so often it seems like dropthroughs snap right at the neck or split around the mounting bolts just from regular use after a couple years.

Seems to me a dropdown that’s not crazy would be about the same mechanics as a dropthrough, potentially with a longer life.


Edit: also I had a little session in the street last night with a couple 9 year old neighbor girls. They have a skateboard club and they’re trying to teach me how to kickturn. It was so much fun. :3:

I’ve been watching way too many longboard freeride videos lately and ended up taking advantage of Ehlers/Skateshred’s 15% off deal that’s going on.


Gonna paint the deck, do some structural upgrades to the board, and see how much road rash I can get.

"Jorge wants to be hardcore,
but his mom won't let him"

my 6 year old son got fascinated with skateboarding so i bought him a lovely deck just to let him fart around with. had a few to drink the other night and stepped on it for the first time in 23 years. landed an ollie and was stoked (he thought it was the coolest thing and i'm still the coolest dad) and quit while i was ahead.

Oh wait I also definitely tried to do a 360 spin layup yesterday too. Could've been it.
