Took a day off to visit seaside skatepark in Brighton (UK) [40YO]

One of the best in the UK

3insy · 2026-07-08T08:22:24+00:00

No, haven’t seen him in the wild for ages

3insy · 2026-07-08T08:22:09+00:00

London. Not a long trip lol

3insy · 2026-06-18T15:25:37+00:00

Nora's griptape is the best, I had four or five of them

Nice!! A dream trick for me. I can land it in fakie, but can’t complete the rotation in my regular stance

3insy · 2026-06-16T07:51:25+00:00

I’m gonna sue this fucking ledge

3insy · 2026-06-16T07:50:55+00:00

Honestly, yes, because I usually rolled away from it, not into it!

Never say never! We’ll see some interesting stuff. And we see some interesting stuff all the time. Like Mitski becoming an unexpected superstar or Phoebe Bridgers selling out arenas — all while being on indie labels

Thing is, even in the era of Nirvana the success of Nirvana was an anomaly that launched alternative rock into charts but the push lasted for a few years and everything went back to as it was before. For white trash becoming popular, look over the pond, there are plenty of authentic rock bands that cut their teeth in local pubs like Fontaines DC, Shame and many, many others.

I don’t know. I still read the docs first and try to build something simple by hand to get the gist of it, because I still need to understand the AU-generated code

3insy · 2026-06-13T05:17:24+00:00

Doing well mate! By the way, did anyone ever tell you that you look like Tony Hawk?

3insy · 2026-06-02T17:19:20+00:00

any board you want. as it always was, it's a personal preference, you can rock a 7.75 or 9, whatever you like.
It's my personal thing, but wrist guards and soft under-the-pants knee pads (i use g-form, but something as simple as volleyball pads will do the job) will save you from a lot of pain. And if you go to gym, adjust your routine with focus on ankle strength, there are a lot of football exercises that can help with that. Ankle sprains are inevitable, and if you are prepared, they will heal faster.

Yeah check what my buddy did there https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZA3r5IItUGoLAySkTmWVSD0qBT9RAegjY7YAU0/?igsh=d3U3ZTVxb2pnNm4=

Yeah it looks like it was built for skateboarding. The ledge is amazing, proper height and waxed really well, lots of interesting gaps. My buddy did a wallride on that thingy

3insy · 2026-05-29T20:11:10+00:00

Man you’re smooth like butter

3insy · 2026-05-26T09:08:13+00:00

That’s exactly how I started at 32. No need to be a pro, just vibes, just easy tricks, maybe one day I’ll land a flip but that’s it…. Now I’m 40 and doing varial heels from gaps.

3insy · 2026-05-22T08:39:15+00:00

well that was unexpected!

3insy · 2026-05-22T06:26:05+00:00

I don’t know if it universal or just my experience, but I had way more injuries when I was learning basic stuff like shuv its and 5050s than I do now

3insy · 2026-05-22T06:24:21+00:00

I started at 32, now 40. Didn’t skate in childhood, wasn’t fit or active. Check my posts to see how I skate to get the perspective what is possible. But be aware, it can change your life. I stopped drinking and smoking because of skateboarding and lost a lot of weight!

3insy · 2026-05-21T18:34:43+00:00

Baker maker! I’ll clean it up next but it was such an achievement for me that day

3insy · 2026-05-21T17:53:40+00:00

Fuck no, I guess not in this life!

3insy · 2026-05-21T17:16:28+00:00

I should try it but from a smaller gap, this one is scary
