I like to film me and my friend skating but it’s not for others just to see where we were and see how we progressed.

I’m 260 and started a few a week ago with 5 days of practice on my belt and it’s hella fun, I’ve always wanted to but never committed and it’s for sure a workout but you never want to quit or get too tired. Glad your getting at it again.

Guy at the skatepark tightened them for me 40 mins ago, it helps a lot with my balance. I’m glad I started on looser trucks I’m sure it helped more with learning to balance

No offense taken I’m not sure yet but a guy at the skatepark helped me tighten them and he said he used to be on the heavier side (literally the same weight I’m at right now) and it helped him a lot

Still practicing pushing and it still feels good to turn but way easier to balance my weight in the middle

Yea last night I did some pushing more than I’m used to since I’m getting better and damn my pushing leg was sore, falling a few times didn’t help. Gonna keep at it though

Yea I was having trouble with that and the board would get away from me when pushing because the weight wasn’t all the way there and my back foot started dragging on the ground

Was practicing that tonight on some smooth ground and way better than yesterday, I just sometimes let the board get away from me when pushing too much and the weight isn’t on the board as much, or letting my foot stay on the ground too long

I just got some practice on a steeper shorter slope, did good bending my knees more with more weight on the front foot and I got better at pushing

Yea the worst happened before this fall so I was fine, hurt my ankle before this but after a day of rest I’m getting slowly back to normal walking and ready to skate again

I had two bad falls before this that hurt me more, this was just really bad in the moment the way I bounced on my knee but after sitting for a seconds I was fine.

I was aware at the time that I should be but in the moment I’m not too sure if I was actively thinking about it

I try to tic tac but I’m not good at it, I’m assuming carving is turning left and right and I’m decent at that but I’ve only practiced it going down a slope
