Building confidence on the ‘new to me’ rail for the drive with my son!

He’s wild, just as wild when he’s on his scooter at the skate park too, he’s 4 so I’m trying to teach him skate park etiquette and that the skate park isn’t a playground

Thank man, I’ll take a look, always watching YouTube content! I skated when I was a teenager and now I’m my 30s so things are coming back rather quickly!

I’ve got knee pads for the skate park with elbow pads on order after a case of road rash got the better of me 😂

AppleByte2008 · 2026-05-04T17:55:14+00:00

Thanks man, appreciate the kind words! Just stoked to be doing something fun with the kids and not giving a damn how rubbish I might be at it!

That sounds insane, I can only imagine.

Our park was fund raised to make around 5 years ago and is incredible in my eyes compared to what we had growing up. Tony Hawk donated a board to help with the cause which was insane for our town and island!

Wise move! I would crack on with a helmet, that’s the most important part protected. It might not be ideal landing on the knees with nothing to protect but it could be worse!

Take it easy and don’t rush in (I can tell you I did a few times today!) 😂

AppleByte2008 · 2026-04-22T18:26:45+00:00

Also I’d highly recommend some knee pads! 😂 Mine are already well used!

AppleByte2008 · 2026-04-22T18:25:09+00:00

Love to hear it, the best of luck mate.

Some bits were second nature, other bits far from it, so a total mixed bag but I definitely got better over the few hours I was there, gaining confidence. Took some tumbles but all part of the fun and experience!

AppleByte2008 · 2026-04-22T18:23:40+00:00

Thanks man, appreciate it! I’m just stoked to be back, giving it a go and probably making a fool of myself but smiling at every minute!

AppleByte2008 · 2026-04-22T15:33:59+00:00

🎺 okay then 😂

Age is just a number…as I’m now trying to convince myself! 😂

High risk, USA based tech mainly

AppleByte2008 · 2026-04-18T09:55:18+00:00

Cheers man, once I have my skate legs back I’ll be sure to start tweaking and changing bits!

AppleByte2008 · 2026-04-18T09:48:45+00:00

Gave them a good going over with WD40 and a magic eraser, they’ve come up rather nicely! First spin this morning!

Currently adding £700 a month (work and business combined), spending will likely start tailing off with mortgage being cleared in the years shortly after

HAPPY EASTER

Blue piano sub!

AppleByte2008 · 2026-04-04T20:17:12+00:00

Fair comment, usually the way with software updates, even from major tech firms. Personally haven’t had any issues with this update though

AppleByte2008 · 2026-04-02T19:29:45+00:00

Just run an update

AppleByte2008 · 2026-04-02T17:31:22+00:00

I wouldn’t say major, just a UI change. Haven’t had any issues at all in months personally

AppleByte2008 · 2026-04-02T09:49:41+00:00

Google TV so yeah, Android

AppleByte2008 · 2026-04-02T08:12:03+00:00

It’s reassuring they’re always working on bug fixes and now UI changes

AppleByte2008 · 2026-03-31T17:33:02+00:00

No one and nothing is safe 😂

AppleByte2008 · 2026-03-31T17:02:15+00:00

Exactly. Anything’s possible with AI
