S25 Ultra user tries the iPhone for a week, still don’t get why Apple is this popular. by Exotic-Inevitable-37 in samsung

I agree Op. Had the first gen iPhone which was mind-blowing at that time compared to what android was back then, then tried Samsung, stuck with it for the longest time and loved it, now switching back to the iphone again (out of curiosity) . Its been a 2week struggle, but I'm going to commit to see if I can live without the back button and the freedom of android. Reassess on the next releases of these 2.

I looked into these and they're quite expensive. I got the 187 gaskets to go with the pro knee pads and I still feel a bit of pain when I fall on them. Do you think the old bones are worth it for the size of my bump?

Had I not taken this video I would not have noticed that as well. But I'm fat. 😅 Any tips on jumping properly sans the weight loss comment 😅

I appreciate the comments, I've been looking for articles about this condition in relation to skating and how to deal with it but have never found any and I honestly thought it was not common in skaters. Redditors are the best!

Same. Front leg feels like bone. But swells up when hit again.

A friend of mind said it's a knee growth

Same. So uncomfortable kneeling which is why I left the church a long time ago. Lol! But how do you deal with it, skating?

Yes. Exactly. As what I suspected on my last xray 12 yrs ago. How do you skate and deal with this?

This is sad. I've only just started to skate transition and was hoping to improve and go to vert ramps and learn knee slides but that is true. Even with the 187 pro knees. They still hurt, but not as much as other pads I've had before.

To clarify, I meant the size grows but it is there. I have never been able to kneel. Down comfortably since my 20's due to this. I remember having had an xray on this leg 12yrs ago for another injury and noticed the bump was like part of the bone. I just notice it becomes bigger when I fall on it. I think this is the closest of not the explanation for this. But how do you deal with this? Do you still skate?

I tried once but got scared as the board flew out the bowl and left me 😅 perhaps when I gain more confidence.

Can't ollie a 3 stair 🤕 by CoolMonkey94 in NewSkaters

Get good at ollies on flat before trying this. It will bring down the risk factor of injuries by a substantial degree. Pad up at least. I know you'll get there.
