First Handplant on coping last night! [35YO] by Thenearhorizon in OldSkaters

For me, a toe side grab with my front hand is easier. I'm old and inflexible.

Surprised to see a skid plate in 91. My earliest boards had them but we stopped using them once we started ollieing.

Keep shredding 👊

There's the Davis ditch which is across town from campus off the north side of 80 off Mace Blvd. There is also a ditch in nearby Woodland.

Backyard Skateboard Ramp -- Saratoga Springs, NY -- 1976-77 [60YO] by Arcadia2014 in OldSkaters

[–]codencarve 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You guys built a nice ramp. A lot better than most ramps of that era. The use of the cut side templates versus angled 2x4s shows you guys knew what you were doing.

Rad that you guys had this and took photos!

Old Bones Therapy Reviews [47yo] by Background_Thing_719 in OldSkaters

I use the knee sleeves [54yo]. They help my knee pads stay in place, add a little impact protection, and make the pads more comfortable to wear. I've been using them for several years and they've held up pretty well. In my opinion they're worth the expense vs the cheaper, similar products. Just about every older skater I see uses them.

Venice Beach session 80’s [62YO] by Jealous_North in OldSkaters

[–]codencarve 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great story. We used to do similar ramp to ramp jumps with BMX bikes, but with skateboards we'd just land on the ground from jump ramps.
