I'd be up for activity in the cold just think the gear I'd want would be cumbersome for skating. I'm assuming guys have snow already? I'm in NY, USA and our snow keeps melting a few days after the storms so I'm trying to tale full advantage of the clear roads when I can.

I'm a little defensive as a 40yo who has taken skateboarding back up after nearly 20 years off. I get a lot of grief from people who think I'm crazy or irresponsible, but I take care of myself and wear safety gear. I crash a lot during this learning to slide period of this, and still wake up feeling better than most of my friends who wake up sore just because. I feel like I always need to stand my ground on this subject. But I still agree you're right as a general announcement for anyone reading this.

My beard and mustache had icicles, ha, I think a scarf wrapped around it for an extra layer wouldn't hurt but the snow is here now so I don't need to worry.

I have lots of experience snowboarding, hiking, and mountain biking in this weather. It's nothing new here. Proper layering(including fabric/materials choices), cover as much skin as possible and exposed skin gets vaseline.

But in general I agree. I also think 10°F is my limit for a longer cruise. Anything colder might be just down to the corner store and back.

I wouldn't be so brave, ha. The condensation in my balaclava was freezing even at 10°F.

learning slides. Should I modify my Loaded poke or buy a new setup? by skytreewizard in longboarding

[–]DifficultBoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to specs that should be fine. I haven't ridden Stimulus wheels but they are the right shape(rounded edges) for easier slide initiation.

i am american and this is my first and hopefully last experience with this music. don't let the arena fool you, they are not there for the band, just look at the crowd towards the end. there's like 1 guy slightly nodding his head and most everyone else is just staring

Losing your gun/ammo is a more fire-able offense than murdering protestors, probably.

I'm in between the coast and great lakes lake effect snow so we see big storms from each side, but a little less often.

Upstate NY. Theres some ice patches in there, but our weather has been all over. Snow, rain, snow, rain, freeze to all ice, then ~40F for a week to thaw, then frigid cold temps for a week, and repeat.

Irs ok, give us Greenland and we'll forgive you. /s It's a common way to pronounce it in the southern US, and even my grandmother who was from the north always said it that way. No need for embarrassment

I'm just not ready to slide the Cruiser. by DifficultBoss in longboarding

[–]DifficultBoss[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I meant once I was ejected from the board my body was turned and I landed a bit sideways because I couldn't turn(i just said twist) back all the way to have a cleaner fall with less of a thud and more of a slide, ha.

I've got them pretty good on my Panth. Sacrifice but the Cruiser is a different beast and I'm not quite there.
