Damn. Check out the junior Rodney Mullen in this video. So many of these kids make it look effortless. Definitely some sick shit…

That sounds like Richie Jackson.

Are longboards welcome here? I used to skate a street deck as well, but my real passion was long distance pushing. Especially when it’s a multi-day trip (or even multi-week, the longest one was Miami to NYC).
Haven’t done any good long distance trips in a while, looks like my knees aren’t happy about it anymore. Getting older sucks.

Sounds good. Do you regularly switch footing to share the work your knees are doing?

Not a skater sadly but was very touched by this podcast episode
Edit: well, i do crosscountry ski skating
Of course. It was hard at first, but I had a special technique, so now I do it automatically every few hundred meter. Also now I’m old and my knees are messed up big time, so I don’t have the option of not switching.

A buddy of mine told me his doctor suggested he take up skating again… [previously a skater. don’t think doc would have suggested this to one who has never skated] …to keep brain/muscle memory/reaction sharp.
As this declines, falls become more of a thing. Falls being the killer.
With that, my love for skating, and being old, I think I will be getting myself a board again and I’m gonna start rolling around. Powell has completes for an insanely good price.
Watch out kids, grandpa’s gonna be hitting the park soon 
just gotta sell a euro module and I can get me a board and some lunch

So true. Loss of proprioception, and muscle twitch, increases risk of falling in old age. Fall, break your hip in your 80s, its like a death sentance.
Even if you’re just cruising around to the shops, or rolling around the local park, maybe some lines in the bowl. Doesnt need to be big fancy tricks or anything tech. I’m planning to get back into skating myself, for similar reasons.

Who was it?, better not be Rodney Mullen.
My ankle finally healed after my sprain a few weeks back into it. I’ve been going to the park here on the weekends early in the morning and it’s almost exclusively old dudes, mostly skating the bowls. All padded up too. It’s been really great, definitely recommend! Even just taking it easy, it’s nice being out there rolling around.
