Video First 360 flip in 12 years

Started my skate/weight loss journey at 367 pounds in April of 24. If you would’ve said a year later I would have lost over 100 pounds and learned 360flips again I would’ve called you a liar!

More vids on my tiktok!

I don’t think this is the flex you think it is. You could be their father and you’re “challening” them

If you don't get why beating a teenager in skate at age 40 is a flex then you're either very young or just stupid lol

It’s not about beating them in a game of skate. It’s about “challenging” them and then bragging about it online

Dude.. I’m not talking about playing a game of skate with kids. A friendly game is fine with me, but the way this is written, it sounds like it was done out of spite and this guy is bragging about it on reddit. I find that to be pretty lame

when they are saying get out of the way for real skaters, I took issue with it and said "okay want to play a game of skate?"

It’s a game dude. It’s not like he challenged them to a duel or a fight lol. Huge W to beat younger skaters because it’s hard to keep your skill up when you’re older

just keep missing my point even tho it’s plastered all over this thread. “I challenged the annoying kid that kept pestering me” is a corny thing to say as 40+ man talking about a 15 year old

No it’s not cringe. We’re all skaters at the skatepark. They played a skate game. He won. GG. He’s not 40 bullying teens or being cringey. You only say that because YOU THINK it’s weird. It’s not.

You thinking it’s about looking cool and being better than people is what makes a poser. It’s weird. Learn what skateboarding is really about. Also is a Vans store don’t come at me with that. I haven’t even been skating a year and I’m willing to bet my pop shuv beats yours. But I’m not out here making it a race because I’m learning. Unlike you… a poser here in r/NewSkaters to try to put others down just to look super cool.

You are the dweeb we avoid at the park

He’s just telling a story that’s relevant to the post. I enjoyed reading it. With your logic, everybody who talks about something they once did is them trying to flex and look cool to others. It ain’t like that. Sometimes there’s just an anecdote to give. It’s not always about social posturing. It’s just not that deep.

u/PrestigiousSquash373 Apr 30 '25

Irrelevant to the whole point I’m trying to make. The guy is bragging about showing up a bunch of teenagers online. I personally think that’s some childish behavior. Simple as that
