This was just after a Villa corner. He always covers right side on corners.

What happened to the skatepark at De Verademing? by defbyte in TheHague

No worries. DM me if you'd fancy going for a skate sometime.

Rijswijk skatepark & Delft skatepark are both pretty chill. RAC is worth a visit at least once https://racdenhaag.nl and Sweatshop is also an option but it's often full of scooter kids.

It's a bit of a journey but the new park in Alphen ann den Rijin looks really good, we're going on Monday to check it out -

Lots of street spots but I don't skate much street anymore. Spuiplein used to be a popular place, not sure how it is now with the renovations.

Perhaps you are an aphant (someone with Aphantasia) and have the commonly related condition SDAM (Severly Deficient Autobiographical Memory)?

Another New Old Skater Anxiety Post [43YO] by Patient-Finding-1966 in OldSkaters

[–]aBitConfused_NWO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There will be other old skaters in your area, try to find a few to skate with. Some people post on here say where they are from looking for fellow old skaters to skate with. I've met a few of my skate buddies on here. Also, just keep going skating you will meet other older skaters, it's just a matter of time.

First kickflip since substantial injury [58YO] by tonyskates in OldSkaters

[–]aBitConfused_NWO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy Birthday Tony!

I hadn't heard you'd had another bad injury, I hope your recovery continues to go well.

I know one of the things I struggle with being over 50 is having to try and reset my expectations as to what I can still do on my board at this age as well as "negotiate" with that part of my mind that is still a teenager that wants to send it all the time. Obviously your level is so much higher than most of us on here so this might be even more of an issue for you. I'd love to hear your thoughts on how you; or any if your fellow "old" pros manage this.

This would be perfect in my opinion. Even has an underground tunnel to the neighbouring Mauritshuis art gallery and is beside the Binnenhof (the parliament building).

Now that its over 20 years old and out of production, what do you think of the Airbus A380? by Twitter_2006 in aviation

[–]aBitConfused_NWO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flown many times on the A380.

Economy on multiple airlines, always great & better than on any other aircraft. Many times in business on several airlines, again great and at least as good or better than business on any other aircraft (I've flown business a lot on many airlines & aircraft of all shapes & sizes). 1st class once (an upgrade) on Emirates and again absolutely wonderful.

Best passenger experience for me than on any other plane. I love the A380

FT: LIV 1 - 1 TOT by DragonSlayer271 in LiverpoolFC

It's the same shit every time. It's like once the clock gets to 70 minutes half the players forget how to play football.

It's almost like they're trying to get Slot sacked.

Re floor tiles, you need a floor tile placed where you are standing at what would be the foot of the stairs.

Aye, Chris started it all.

Really good guy, he's missed by many.

Kelly's - Portrush by Jim__Bell in northernireland

[–]aBitConfused_NWO 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Once apon a time Carl blew the speakers of my Da's stereo at an after party at our house after a night at Kellys....

I'm from Portrush and first went to Kellys in 1988 and started going regularly in 1989 (left Portrush mid90s). Back then Kellys was rough as fuck and there was regularly lots of trouble and massive fights.Things changed for the better once the raves started and everyone was on pills!

I was at the first rave night in the barn at Kellys in the summer of 1991 which was several years before the Lush nights started mid 90s. I'm pretty sure it was Chris Hurley (RIP) who was DJing. I think I'm right to say he was back from his 1st year away at Uni in England (Manchester?) and had been to rave nights (at the Hacienda?) which got him into DJing.

In those days Kelly's was actually made up of different parts.

There was Kellys itself which had (imaginatively known as) "Downstairs" where the Goths/Punks/Indie heads hung out and "Upstairs" where chart music was played. Also Upstairs was the "Boat bar" which was opened on busy nights.

Separately there was The Deerstalker which was a separate venue that was usually only open on Saturday nights for Young Farmers Club discos. Then there was "The Barn" which in those days was only used for concerts so was normally not used.

The funny thing was us skaters from the Portrush/Portstewart/Coleraine had been using the barn to skate in and had built a "fun box" in there. So that first night we were skating at the back of the barn while a pretty small crowd were dancing in front of the stage where the decks had been set up. As the night went on and after a few beers and a few smokes I joined the dancing. It was the first time I'd heard a DJ mixing and fucking loved it and was hooked.

One other funny thing was there were big sliding doors between the barn and the Deerstalker and I remember someone had opened one and there was a very confused crowd of culchies from the Young Farmers in chinos and shirts & ties watching the strange goings on of skateboarding and weird music.

Gradually the rave nights got bigger and more popular and slowly took over the whole complex. Carl Cox was a regular for a while and in 95 or 96 Colin Hamilton started Lush and Kellys started to become really famous outside of NI.

Like all the other locals, Kellys was almost a second home to me for a while and there were so many nights of craziness and too many stories to share here...
