Finally got to a skate park with a friend of mine. It turns out dropping in is loving terrifying when you're 25 and have only been skating for six odd months. I couldn't do it on the smallest quarterpipe there :blush:

I have learned how to land on the board though, finally, and popped a decent ollie and landed rolling away on cement :woop: and kicked rear end all over this cool funbox until I did something inside my foot that I don't understand but I still can't walk right without there being pain. There's no swelling or anything four hours later, but yeah.

dropping in has always been a loving mind gently caress even when I was young and skated, its A ok until you get that time when you are to tired and dont push it down properly, ouchie


I've also started skating again for what its worth, skated for maybe 4 years 10 years ago, found my old board! a ATM Ben Liversedge 7.667 board with thunder trucks and spitfire 54mm wheels, changed the bearings and now its pretty nice :) after riding for like 3 days I can pop a good sized ollie, do a fs 180 and pop shove it haha, but its fun though! :) thinking about getting a 8" board or maybe even a 8.125 board for my size 12 feet

I bought a set of Sector 9 cosmics bearings from my friend who runs a longboard shop, they run awesome, I thought I had ruined them though but it was just my silly rear end who had damaged the shields when I pushed them in and out of different wheels to try them out so when i removed the shields on both sides they run INSANELY good now...

so thats a tip if you have problems with pretty new bearings :)
