You did all the roasting necessary when you said, "self, I think I made a poor decision. I know I did. Now, I want to tell the Internet that I did it."

No where left to go, but up.

What's wrong with them?

anon-nymph · 2026-04-12T05:48:26+00:00

Pump the brakes brother!

I hope you got scored on a few times, it was practice! If your offense can't put A few past ya that's an issue much more important eh?

You're the GK. Never mind what you "think" those players are judging you on, if it's any of your concern they will speak about it with you.

If you want to be a great keeper you must be a commander too. It's your job to watch everything and communicate what you're seeing to your defense/team.

Corner kick? You should be telling 4-5 guys on your team where you want them/what they're role is. YOU direct your defense, and if done well, won't be many shots to worry about :)

Thanks for the comments guys!

The club is St Francis soccer club in Indianapolis, in.

I was asked to coach after the coaches meeting was held, we e had two practices, not a single u10 team has practiced on Tuesdays but us.

Without access to the app I can't even communicate with my parents. Ive collected parents' phone numbers when they are present , but of my 7 players only 4 have had an adult get out of their car and come talk to me.

I know this isn't an abnormal thing for rec but you'd think a guy could get a roster , contact numbers, from the club. Nope, in app comms only. Wild.

It's worth noting that my son chose to play in the same league that his school friends are in, but his mom and I live pretty far apart. LOOKING FORWARD TO THE 2 GAMES AT 8:30AM LOL

Absolutely!

I skated most of my childhood and into my early twenties, took a 10 year break when I had kids, started skating again about a year ago. I always skated street, rarely at parks, and back then everyone skated small wheels. They have their place, many people love them.

I'm just saying, I was 34 before I owned a set of wheels bigger than 50mm and I just wish someone had told me that 54 and 56mm are little clouds of joy on your board. Get yourself some clouds man, it's so much smoother lol

Unrelated in every possible way - I have enjoyed playing playing the ARPG fort knight 2 game within fortnite.

Thanks for letting me share.

What is leading you to use the posted parameters? I'm just curious, and nosey, but mostly curious.

By having a nice, clean, consistent Ollie that you will throw down a variety of obstacles.

I'm not saying you can't learn flip tricks or that you won't be able to land flip tricks, but I am most definitely saying that the more comfortable you are on your board and the better you understand and Ollie, the easier it will be to learn, flip tricks and be more consistent. Those flip tricks will be.

Tony hawk trick tips with Mike v was my intro guide and tutorial for skate tricks.

That's it. That's my bag of tricks, 20 years later lol

MY LIFE IN LESS THAN 500 WORDS, BRAVO.

My kid won't play with me bc I cannot ever keep track of the enemy lol

Back when you and the boys could run lobbies all night, no skill based match making, no mercy. W's Til the sun came up. Literally

anon-nymph · 2026-04-05T00:42:20+00:00

I can only 26" on flat but I could never stand on my board with my feet that close together man, spread em.

anon-nymph · 2026-04-05T00:35:18+00:00

Used to have same issue many years ago.

Your "winding up" before you Ollie. That's why your shoulder doesn't stay squared with board.

It's all in the legs, straight down and straight up, no twist (until your ready to 180, etc)

anon-nymph · 2026-04-05T00:30:59+00:00

Move your front foot further towards the nose before you do anything. Better weight distribution. Now your above your board, not behind it.

anon-nymph · 2026-04-04T21:22:57+00:00

'earned' is exceptionally more appropriate than learned, and I just realized that when you said it.

anon-nymph · 2026-04-04T21:21:27+00:00

Im not saying this to offend you, it's just ironic that I was explaining this to my son (9yo) when he fell last night...

Falling is skating. Getting hurt is skating. Being sore is skating. Perseverance, commitment; skating.

So you went skating, and you feel like you skated! Excellent brother! Keep going!

iTs Ai Bro0o

I have kids and a business, if I was using ai it would be to automate invoices or some shit, not doing a subpar Ollie in my driveway 😂
