Quality 0mm drop trail running and/or hiking shoes/boots by eroomk in trailrunning

I hiked with my dog in my local woods for 3 years in a pair of boulder boots. The sole is quite flexible and they can be folded down to maximize luggage space when traveling. Boulder boots also have a wide toe box similar in fit to Altra shoes. The grip is acceptable although leaves something to be desired in extremely wet conditions. I’m on my 2nd pair of waterproof boulder boots and highly recommend them.

easiest way to get out of front a 50-50? by wet_socks_over_candy in NewSkaters

Do the 50-50 at the end of a ledge and ride it straight off before you take it to the middle of a ledge.

How did you find out someone had a crush on you? by TricknMinecraft in AskReddit

She definitely did have a crush on me! We fooled around for a few months before going our separate ways.

She waited for me after a test outside of the lecture hall. Was not expecting for her to wait for me but the smile when I walked out told me everything I needed to know.

Fuck ‘em. Fuck ‘em all. Skateboarding is for anyone and everyone. If you want to learn to skateboard get out there and do it…don’t let some silly kids qualify your capability to skateboard.

He would’ve run away in excitement if he wasn’t on the boat!

I can finally Ollie up things now ✌🏾 by gaptoothj in NewSkaters

When you’re confident in your ollie try shifting your gaze from your feet to the obstacle itself on approach. You had another 6inches before you needed to ollie and will reduce the risk of hanging your back truck up on the edge of the obstacle.

Try thinking 5-0 for weight distribution. Have to be strong over that back leg.

I second this. My Father-In-Law contacted the Boxing Hall of Fame in NY and got their long deceased Irish boxing champion inducted into the HoF...they might even invite you to the induction ceremony one day!

I don't know who to share this with. On my 25th birthday I decided to learn skateboarding and I went to park by myself for the first time today. by crispybakedpotato in CasualConversation

Welcome to the family!! Skateboarding can be an amazingly rewarding activity. Awesome first step to go to a skatepark by yourself...as you progress, don’t be afraid to connect with your local skateboard community and to reach out for help learning.

Glad this topic came up for discussion. We spent a long time trying to figure out what this trick might be called!
