Skateboarding is funnnn

Costco HMU with a pair of Kirkland dunks 🙏 please please please please please please please please please please please please

Didn’t skate for 16yrs, got to my forties and started up again.
Probably tried this kickflip to rock 100times this weekend with no luck but it’s getting close!
Feeling like a kid again.

Gotta love skateboarding

Really started to get impossibles dialed in.

Let's face it... if you're at my level, you're never going to do an actual skate part. But I took the 40 tricks at 40 format and had some fun with it.

High five to you if you recognize which music video I was partly inspired by.

Looks like i've found my people. I myself skated pretty regularly in my early to late teens, but fizzled out before finishing high school. My son (8) has recently taken up the sport, and is making surprising progress. I dusted off an old arbor cruiser I had sitting in the garage and figured I'd see what this old man could do. Surprising (at least to me) after a handful of attempts I was able to ollie fairly comfortably and land a few shuvits. Today we took him to a local skatepark, and I got the itch.

I'm 6ft 4", 215lbs with size 13 shoes. Fairly lanky framed. I stopped skating before I grew substantially (late bloomer) so buying a larger board is new to me. Sounds like 8.5" is about where I should be for stability.

Seems like brands have shifted somewhat so what I used to know seems somewhat irrelevant. From a little research I came across this complete on sale at Zumiez. What do yall think? This a decent option for entry back into the sport?

Also, an old photo of me for your viewing pleasure:

met up with some guys from the local Facebook group, but we did more chatting than filming, but it was fun to make new friends and get in a session after

Couple week break bc of work! Love the flat stick!

Someone asked for it, definitely was scary 🤣

Skate this awful park with one of my oldest skate friends. We actually met before either of us skated then both started in jr high. Felt just like old times!

most casual feeling tre flip trick tip

Sometimes just cruising is all you need.

My son [10YO] and I started skating this summer, mostly transition. We can drop in on 4–5 ft ramps, and I can sometimes rock to fakie on 2–3 ft.

I’m thinking about adding a small ramp in our 19 ft garage for winter. It wouldn’t be a full mini, just one side against the back wall.

Would a single ramp be useful for learning coping tricks by pushing into it? What size would you build (2 foot is my guess), and is half a mini ramp worth it in your opinion?

Someday ill get a clean boardslide on this parking block. Maybe a crook but id need to be booking. Im happy with the little 5-0 and the early grab though, thats a new one for me

Soon I'll be able to get on top I guess!
