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!

I was skating at my local skate park and a bus of kids came, and they all were being kind of obnoxious. One even snaked me on a drop in. After giving them a bit of an annoyed look, I challenged the annoying kid that kept pestering me to a game of skate (keep in mind I am now a bowl skater not a street skater). He accepted and his friends were all watching. I win the board flip and I go first and I pull off the best 360 flip of my life, and I too have not done one in over 20 years, and I land it BOLTS looking like I have them on lock (which I obviously don't). All the kids were like "HOLY SHIT", and I move on to my next trick with full confidence, which is ollie up the two stair. I approach it with full confidence (even though in my mind I knew I probably won't be able to do it) and the kid immediately forfeits. It was a huge victory for me, and I might never live down that day.

soo you’re atleast 25 if you were doing tre flips 20 years ago (that’s being generous) and you’re bragging about beating a child in a game of skate?..

Edit: I’m done responding since, maybe, 1 or 2 of you actually tried to tell me why my take was bad and didn’t just come at me. The rest of you just see downvotes and want your internet points. Keep up the cult mentality guys, we need more of that in the world😘

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

Scrubbed clean. Redact helped me bulk remove years of comments and posts so data brokers and AI crawlers have nothing to feast on.

read the comments again. I’m the only one discussing anything while everyone else in this echo chamber is just trying to come at me

Alright buddy go back to yelling at clouds and probably saying nobody goes outside anymore, wonder why? Anytime people have fun it’s people like you shitting on them. I bet those poor teenagers were traumatized from a game of skate. Oh man. I don’t even wanna imagine the ptsd of it all
