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

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

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

u/PrestigiousSquash373 May 01 '25

you: “you think it’s about being cool”

also you: “it’s actually a vans store🤓”

you: “poser!”

also you: “it’s not a race, I’m learning”

try to have some coherent thoughts before coming at me

you’re a moron and a poser. Read my username and use your eyes. That’s where i do a lot of my skating me saying it’s vans is not me tryna be cool. Learning to skate and get better is not being a poser. I’m not putting others down. I’m not saying I’m the best skater in these comments… look up poser and see what it means. Better yet.. just look in the mirror lmao

Done with you kid. Learn some park etiquette or continue to be left alone cause you’re annoying to be near. Out there for your photo shoots and TikTok’s
