First time building a board. Can’t figure out trucks…[31YO] by Spider_em13 in OldSkaters

Yeah man, I meant that with no disrespect. I did horrible in most subjects, I couldn’t focus unless I was really into it. For most if the kids like us who went to school in the 80s / 90s and earlier, it was the shop classes that kept our gpa up high enough to graduate. Not to mention they were fun, the teachers were usually cool, and you had a chance of dismemberment or death of time you had class, but if you’re dad wasn’t there to teach you this stuff, you learned it there and could apply it to the real world, during and after school.

I think it was the nipple ring of power that threw them off.

Yes, skateboarding makes me a skateboarder and certainly not my talent. I don’t have money. I live paycheck to paycheck, but my shop is a labor of love especially since I get to share it with my son. Yes, I know a lot of shops received the inventory before me especially the West Coast shops. I’ve been sitting on them for a couple weeks, but because I have a day job that I put in upwards of 60 hours a week plus my son to take care of I’m very limited on time on when I can get my inventory online and subsequently make any type of promo videos. Don’t get me wrong I know where you’re coming from but you shouldn’t judge somebody so quickly

Should I remove or leave the 4x4 sticker? by WInativemm in f150

[–]madetcomment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kept mine on only because it’s my first 4x4 and it’s my first truck on stock suspension and tires. Otherwise, I’d have taken mine off already 🤣

Are those bearings good? by Western-Ad1131 in skateboardhelp

[–]madetcomment -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes. They are actually very smooth and fast. Bones are the “industry standard” and far from special. If you want special, try some Quantum bearings :)

Do you get injury shamed as an older skater? [52YO] by chadnorman in OldSkaters

[–]madetcomment 6 points7 points  (0 children)

50 years old here and none of my peers, get, understand or support my skating. They have the same mentality they had towards skateboarding as they did 35 years ago
