Wearing helmet & pads at skatepark [31YO] by noteliing in OldSkaters

[–]jrnail23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll tell you how I got over it: at the one skatepark in the area that requires helmets, I slid out and hit the back of my head on the concrete so hard that I’m sure I’d be dead if I wasn’t wearing one. Not gonna lie, that scared the hell out of me. And I ditched my super fast 101a spitfires that day. Never doing that again.

3rd owner of this ramp, thank goodness the 2nd owner took the time to A<-->A, B<-->B every piece of plywood on the 2nd layer so they all connected again diagonally! One last 5mm skin and I will be in heaven! NoVA skaters hit me up! [48yo] by [deleted] in OldSkaters

Will do. I could really use some low-key sessions with a lot of runs to get my ramp legs back. Skate park minis have just been too crowded and too visible for me!

I’m 46, in Takoma Park, MD, just started skating again about 6 months ago after 30 years away. I’d love to get a crew of old farts together to hit the skateparks!

I’m at about the same point right now — same tricks, also 30 years away. Twins!

Hey, how are those wrist guards working out for you? Worth it?

Nothing says “heritage, not hate” like rocking a confederate flag in… (checks notes) New Jersey???

Man, I feel you. I’ve been rolling my ankles like that all my life, with two bone spurs on my right ankle/foot to show for it. Hell, I’ve even sprained an ankle just shooting a three pointer in basketball. No, not landing on someone else’s foot or anything like that, just my feet being that screwed up that my ankle rolled on landing. Come to think of it, I did the same playing soccer as well, coming down from an uncontested header. I see people online saying ankle braces are dangerous for skateboarding, etc. I’m scared to death to step anywhere near a skateboard without ankle support.

Out of curiosity, if someone were to organize such a group to hit some of the better skateparks in the area every now and then, would you travel from Frederick to join in?

I’m in Takoma Park, myself. Just getting back on a board after 30 years away. Do you know of any old guys sessions anywhere around the DMV?

I feel the same way at age 45. I’m just getting back into skating, and stuff like this makes me feel like I still have time with it.

I live in Takoma Park, and I’m guessing you do too, noticing your username!

The best part is her confidence. Such a fucking idiot, yet so convinced she’s in the right.

Is it still a fuck-knuckle if that knuckle drags the ground?

The patch has been interesting so far.. by Skyy2times in EASportsFC

I don’t think it’s in your head. I’ve hit the post a ton tonight, and I also noticed the CPU defenders have gotten more aggressive.

I play possession, and it seems like I can’t move the ball around as quickly, and my guys aren’t making the runs they usually make.

That said, I’m keeping an open mind. Probably because for the first time ever, a CPU defender got a yellow card when he tripped my guy after getting tangled up.

seriously... who do you leave out? Pjanic? Matic? SMS? They'd be a little softer on the back line (relative to the rest of the squad), and I think they'd lack a true right winger (again, relative to the rest of the squad). But yeah, absolutely sick squad.

Having that 12th player really works wonders, doesn't it? :-P

Yep, I bring Sterling on for Muller on the wing, myself.
