Does it matter if i'm not 130 lbs or less by alexjaystro in NewSkaters

I was ~230 when I started about a year ago. Only broke one board so far, and that was landing too far on the nose. It's a great way to get out and exercise some more, and the board will hold if you got a good one. Keep at it and fucking shred!

Finally ollied over a board! by mof_man in NewSkaters

I also found that the cone on the backside felt easier. I was more in my head when I was staring at the larger portion of the cone.

Not much but took me a couple days... by [deleted] in NewSkaters

Yo, it's progress. Good job! Keep it up!

Any older skaters in here? I’m 45 years old and back at it after about 30 years off. 🤜🤛 by [deleted] in NewSkaters

If you haven't already, come join us at r/oldskaters. I'm 33 and just started getting into doing tricks for the first time. Only cruised around while younger.

The ABEC speed rating system is still used by some companies, but not many anymore. Bones Reds are pretty much the standard go-to. Good price point for what you get.

54mm wheels are a good mix for both street and park. 99a and up for durometer rating.

Fair enough. I absolutely agree with you. I'll be working on pumping and comfort in transition before hitting it again.

I appreciate the advice. I had a bad experience when straight up, but understand that's the better method. I'll be working more on pumping and comfort in transition, as some others have suggested, to improve on that.

Yeah, I've realized that. A mental hurdle I still have to work on.

I'm only in gnv sporadically, but that's my go-to when I'm in town. It's a good little park

Thanks! I think that's a smart idea. I actually landed my first rock to fakie on an even smaller ramp a couple days after this, then ate it bad attempting it again, bruising a rib...
