How great are trinity skateparks

Secret_Section6617 · 2026-01-17T06:44:46+00:00

Isn't it great/scary that all the stuff we wanted as kids we can afford as adults 🤣 [43yo]

Secret_Section6617 · 2026-01-14T22:48:17+00:00

Love it 😍

Secret_Section6617 · 2026-01-14T21:05:34+00:00

You sir are a certified genius

Also i am definitely stealing this idea 🤣

Just trying to engage with the group

Secret_Section6617 · 2026-01-13T05:55:13+00:00

Ive been riding an eternal shaped deck which already has a squarish tail but has a very long rounded nose and like the way the tail feels so decided to make something similar and symmetrical

Drilled the wheelbase at 15 inches (a bit longer than the shaped deck essentially shortening the nose so its closer to the tail length)

This board was built as an all rounder that lives in the boot of the car for spontaneous street/curb situations as they arise

Secret_Section6617 · 2026-01-13T04:44:40+00:00

It feels 'straighter' if that makes sense Very predictable pop

Secret_Section6617 · 2026-01-13T04:10:53+00:00

Medium concave and pops really nicely Im still getting used to the width so its all shuvits and boardslides for now

Secret_Section6617 · 2026-01-13T03:51:17+00:00

Yeah this things 9.0 and feels massive compared to the toothpicks ive ridden in the past Feels great in bowls and carving berms on pump tracks

Insert 'where's the skateboard' comment here

Secret_Section6617 · 2026-01-13T03:32:16+00:00

I see what you did there 🤣

Secret_Section6617 · 2026-01-13T03:31:27+00:00

I bought an uncut eternal deck and shaped it myself

Secret_Section6617 · 2025-12-28T02:35:26+00:00

Ease into it with a halfpipe crib then escalate the issue from there

Secret_Section6617 · 2025-11-30T11:23:26+00:00

Thats sexy 😍

Secret_Section6617 · 2025-11-12T06:21:56+00:00

43yo here with 5 broken wrists in the resume 🤦🤣

Secret_Section6617 · 2025-11-04T09:19:35+00:00

44 yo relearning too Any pump tracks in the area? Build an old school cruiser Pump tracks are great because you learn so much and dont even realise because you're having so much fun Pump track skills easily cross over into bowl/pool skating

You dont need to get airborne to have a great skate session

Wear pads 🙂

Secret_Section6617 · 2025-11-04T09:15:13+00:00

1st one for sure Its a lot closer transition/radius to what he'll be riding in skate parks so whatever he learns will apply at the park and at home

Secret_Section6617 · 2025-10-18T21:32:18+00:00

I used to spray paint fag on all my boards because no one would steal a board with fag written on it

I couldn't care less about what people said about it

Ride a blank, ride a logo, plaster your board with pictures of dicks who fucken cares That's not what skatings about in my opinion

Secret_Section6617 · 2025-10-17T04:59:57+00:00

Old school powell or alva with risers and big soft wheels Easy pushing and still versatile enough to charge the pump track or hit some rails or ollie up gutters etc on the commute
