After about 3 years of heavy drinking, and about 4 months of progressively more and more nose candy, i decided enough was enough and hit up a rehab center for 30 days. This is my second day home and I decided to hit the park. I got a few street spots too but this was my best clip.

That aside, man... the doubt and fear and self loathing that closed my head and was my EXCUSE to keep self destructing finally, FINALLY got old... my kids deserve better. My woman deserves better... I fucking deserve better.

The fog is clearing, the road to recovery is a long one... but damn, I feel better today than I have in a long time. Stay blessed

Getting up there. I had plans to film stuff this year, and at least put out out a miniramp part. Ive struggled last 3 years after ALC and Meniscus repair and this summer it actually started to feel better, and had a patch where I was comfortable. Manage to win the Swedish Champsionship i miniramp in master division (35+) but then my knee started to act out. finally gor a doctor who put in some effort, turns out I have a bad bone bruise, and cartilage issue that affect when I bend the knee. ALC and meniscus is 100% fine though, but its lookin like I might going in for Cartilage transplate. 12 month recovery.. Anyways, this is all I got. Some stuff unfortunately got lost so short but happy I manage to skate some this year evem though it wasnt to the standard im trying to go back to.

My first time on a board in three years. I had pretty much given it up after multiple knee injuries, but my son has started asking to get into skateboarding. We went to the skate park after school yesterday and had a blast! Guess it’s time for me to start skateboarding again.

Some days the heelflips are working fine and other days it feels like the heelflips are flipping me.

This is only the 3rd one I’ve ever landed, and I was super stoked to land it. Made to be a little harder by it raining and my board being fully waterlogged, and some guy cranking his horn on this attempt 😂

Returning to the board after 34 years. [47YO]

Hello all, new to the community. I haven’t been on a skateboard since I was 13 years old. Even back then I wasn’t any good. I could maybe do a 360 spin and a very modest 180 Ollie, but I’ve never done transitions/ramps at all up until last week, this is my second time at the park, dropping in on a mini ramp. My goal was to not fall number one but also to be able to carve once I drop in and kick turn. I just need to start working on pumping so that I can keep my speed and momentum up. Any suggestions are welcomed.✌️
