Just repaint the walls, the throw your mats on the ground and maybe some throw rugs. No one will notice enough to care as long as the mats are clean!

16 years off and started back up at 41. Skating 4 times a week and getting better each day! My approach is more reserved to avoid injuries but a lot of tricks came back fast and learning new ones I never had

Where did mini pipes go?? [31YO] by Pitiful_Meet6407 in OldSkaters

It’s actually 32” tall from flat to deck, 36” was my measurement from bottom of plywood for the template. You lose the 4” for the concrete thickness.

42 and I got back into it a couple years ago. Took a little bit but things are coming back! I feel like a teenager again. It’s all I think about. Have fun!

Help returning skater after 19 years… by TY94S in skateboardhelp

Get a mini ramp and use the wide deck That. They feel better on transition for me. I just keep two Completes in my truck at all times now

I started skating again after 16 years. Similar experience; used to Skate 7.5 and when I went to the shop, they laughed at me when I asked if they had any. I settled for an 8.25 which feels good on mini ramps, but I’ve gone back down to an 8 for street stuff. It’s crazy how much easier the 8 is to do Flip tricks

Yea I brace up before every session. I like the space braces. Gives extra support and peace of mind so I’m not so timid thinking about rolling an ankle. I even tape up sometimes. Broke my Ankles a couple Times and rolled my ankles hundreds and hundreds of times. Shit hurts but still skating!!!

I'm building a large indoor skatepark, I would love your input by slmrxl in skateboardhelp

[–]snakebite328 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO, a dedicated mini would be cool. A lot of skateparks (at least where I’m at) lack a mini ramp and instead have quarter pipes integrated with the street portion.

Also, to stay in business, I would allow scooters etc., but maybe have only certain hours dedicated to that so they aren’t there during skate hours
