Nice! Plan on doing tricks? My best trick so far is rolling off curbs without falling off.

Soft wheels means I can ollie without killing my joints in 5 mins. The joys of being over 40.
Tricks? Nah, tricks are for kids.

gave up skateboarding when i realised i have some sort of genetic thing that means i can’t ollie. used to love just cruising around though, up and down curbs a bit, just rolling down hills in bournemouth. i miss it but fear it’s undignified now at my age (44)

I started skating at 35 late last summer. Tricks are really hard, but I ride my mini-cruiser to and from the kindergarten to deliver and pick up my girl when it’s not raining

It’s a Walker Titan SF 4x5 / 5x4 with which I’ll be using 105, 150, and 210mm lenses, though mainly the 150. It’s to replace an old MPP mk8.
Intentions: mainly location portraiture along the lines of Joel Sternfeld, though I also have a Lomograflock back which shoots Fuji Instax Wide film for instant gratification. May even get some cover artwork from it for future Bandcamp releases.
My wife said to me this morning, “I think you’ve left your camera turned on.”

I broke 6 vertebra my spine, 2 ribs, scapula and punctured a lung doing downhill (used to race in the world cup) . Still skate just for fun, cruising about mainly. My ollies suck. But fuck it. Who cares?

I’m old enough to remember Tony Hawke and the Bones Brigade on a half pipe in Perth in the late '80s as part of their Australian tour. No-one ever came to Perth. Got my crappy deck signed by Lance Mountain.
Anyway, my ollies also suck but IDGAF - it’s fun! Short of snowboarding there’s nothing quite like the feeling of carving down a smooth slab of bitumen. Skateboarding forces you to think about your urban environment in a completely different way - it’s like a mini-holiday for the brain.

Skating around made me realize just how much elevation there is on sidewalks I thought where completely flat =D

Elaborate? Wondering if this is what we on the west coast US call toe tapping.
Just found an argos bleak eurorack module for an irresistible price.
Intentions: chord sequencing and general arpeggio mayhem, octatrack food
Oh also some beyerdynamic dt 770s. Can’t come soon enough
For a minute, I thought “oh wow, he’s bought his own skate park”. Should have read the conversation up to this point.
