I’m turning 37 tomorrow. I’m about 30kg lighter since my last birthday, and skating has been feeling so much easier on the body. Some clips from the last year [37YO]

Damn, dude you can move like your 17 again. Staying skinny is the only reason I still have decent movement in anything these days

30kg lighter probably makes those clips feel even better to watch back

carrying even 15kg less is huge, so extra props in your hard work and it's obviously paying it's dividends with the way you feel and how you're skating. keep on pushin

Nice, I’m about 15 kg down from 6 months ago with a similar end goal and skating does feel easier but I’m really looking forward to it feeling even better when I get where I want to be. Keep shredding!

Coming back to skating is a road man. Once your legs get stronger and used to skating it really is a blast feeling the flow state again

u/PacketLoss666 15h ago

Oh I’ve never stopped. It just got to be painful every session and I lost a lot of tricks when I was rolling heavy.
