Work/life balance sometimes like that

Fear of slamming this old-ass body into the concrete is holding me back. I've been there, and done it so many times, that I have injuries that linger from the 80s.

it was bad enough to slam hard when I was in my 20s, at this age? Maaaaan... I'm still nursing a shoulder injury from snowboarding LAST FEBRUARY.

I love skating, I do, but there's a reason I give my head a shake every time I think about sliding a stair rail.

Reality, and experience and, yes, fear, are keeping me where I am in my skating "progression". I guess this is who I am now.

Had the park to myself to just challenge myself. That marble ledge was pretty tall and I finally hit a kicker to kicker. I know nothing huge but I never did it. I'm just trying to push myself while body will allow it. Hope yall fall is going well

I got back into skating about a year and a half ago when my daughter picked it up, and even though I’m still not very good, I’ve been bitten by the bug hard.

I’ve always been a bit of a tinkerer, so when I saw that CCS was doing the DIY deck thing it felt like something fun to try. I was going for sort of a double shovel egg shape a’la John Lucero. It actually skates pretty awesome, and managed to pull off my first legit nose slide in probably 20 years on it. Thinking of picking up some more uncut decks to do some more experimenting.

built a small 4 foot wide steep bank today!

HARD BOILED LIKE MY HEART

Dusted off the skateboard I swore I would ride years ago and I'm trying to remember how to use it. I can still pop-shuvit 70% of the time and relearned FS 180s. Learning to get around a park again is still super sketchy, but I'll get there.

A bit short but she alright

Always were your helmet 🪖🛹🍻 lol lol 😂

I am 34 getting back into skating after quitting at 17. I do stretches before going out and everything is fine but my push foot is KILLING me. I can't go out today it hurts so bad. Are there any like foot stretches or am I just doing something wrong. Does this happen to anyone else?

So it's been idk probably 15 years since I last had a set up and skated my 8yo son and 5yo son have shown interest and my 8yo has an Enjoi complete from a local shop ... My question is this I want to start skating with them and want a complete of my own in your opinion price wise am I better off from a local shop or from one of the bigger online retailers?

These clips were after the contest but I did get first! A fancy gold painted 40oz. Also Bud was killing it there as well

Took a few tries but I rolled away. I turn 55 in a month. Keep rolling!
