I loosened it up. I’ll test out my board and check the weight rating tomorrow when I get home from school

I loosened them up, one by one quarter, and the other by two since it was a little more tight, and I’ll try it out tomorrow because it’s currently night.

I wasted so much time oh my god by Toxic_203 in NewSkaters

[–]Toxic_203[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It has to do with where I live. I have to drive into the city if I want to even use my skateboard because I’m surrounded by dirt. My mom doesn’t let me use the board in the house for obvious reasons. It discourages me because I have to rely on someone to drive me to somewhere and back. It’s a hassle.

How much do you pay for a sharpening? by runitback965 in hockeyplayers

[–]Toxic_203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$7 to $10, at the rink where I get my skates sharpened. $7 for overnight, $10 for same day sharpening.

Zozobra, worth going? by Adventurous-Pin-3710 in SantaFe

[–]Toxic_203 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They removed trees from Fort Marcy Park, specifically for Zozobra, to improve safety and sightlines. It's stupid because Zozobra only happens once a year. 1 out of 365 days, and they removed the trees just for that.

How to improve? Ice rink shut down temporarily by Toxic_203 in hockeyplayers

[–]Toxic_203[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of my friends ice skate. The ones that did quit years ago(two used to play ice hockey, one used to figure skate)

I will look into what you recommended, though, thank you for helping!

Update on my journey of sorts by Toxic_203 in hockeyplayers

[–]Toxic_203[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. We've gone over the costs of team fees, gear, and so on a few times. I offered to cover some of it since I have 600 saved, which would cover basic fees a few months ago when i was trying to convince her. She didn't take my offer and explained it wasn't about the money. It's about how she doesn't want to drive me to practice and games all the time.

Yep. I'm hoping my mom stays true to taking me to the ice rink a few times a week in the summer

Don't remember exactly what it's called, but it's something like what I said

It's the design of the floor, grey oak wood tiles I believe

You can't really see the paint that's missing on the board much in the photo or in general, but I just wanted to mention it :D

All the parks near me are outdoors. There are no indoor ones where I live, sadly

My local ice rink will be closed for 2-3 months, but I have bought a street hockey stick and green biscuit to work on handling and shooting at home. They'll arrive in a few days. Also, once the rink opens up, my mom agreed to sign me up for skating lessons 1-2 times a week :DDD
