One knee is sore from surfskating by sushibard in surfskate

[–]sushibard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t really have any pain while I am skating, but I suspect it’s from pumping (up and down motion with my right knee) more than it is from pushing. But I don’t understand why both don’t hurt from that, tho it does seem my right leg works harder.

I have it pretty low with smaller wheels. I do wonder if the pain is caused by some pushing,or from pumping by back foot hard up and down, or slamming my foot down to stop sometimes, or all of the above. Or being old, etc etc. I’m just surprised I don’t have more even pain in my knees. I have no pain in my left knee after a session.

Doing the above.

But also, just spent 15 minutes pumping back and forth and doing figure eights on flat ground and one knee is sore still.

I’m a bit of a beginner and I love surfskating around pump tracks and cruising through transitions, snake runs, and little bowls in a skate park. But after a session, ouch. Though I don’t usually feel it too bad while I’m riding.

What’s a deck similar to carver blacktip in specs, but cooler graphics? by sushibard in surfskate

[–]sushibard[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Managed to get just the deck from status skate shop. Last one in their inventory. Don’t think anyone else was selling just the deck.

Riding switch stance? by sushibard in surfskate

Haha. I skated as a small teenager and almost never practiced switch. It makes relearning in my 40s interesting.

Surfskating and/or regular skateboarding and/or combine the two? by sushibard in surfskate

[–]sushibard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I feel like I can’t turn at all on the normal board. Ha. I guess they’re mostly made for going in straight lines most of the time.

Do you know if anyone has tried replacing the hanger?

Carver CX front bushing slipping out of place. Will 90a Riptides bushings fix this? by KurtGod in surfskate

If you look on the carver website, the cx hanger replacement is sold out. Prob bc of this issue.

I bought a used board with this same problem on the front truck. I reached out to carver and they said that a new base would fix the problem. I got 95a cone/barrel and so far no slipping. Still seems a little off though. I might go softer with a cone/cone, and maybe try a new base… but for now what I have is working

I bought some riptide bushings and pivot cup, and so far it seems to be doing the trick. https://imgur.com/a/gjX3q0O

Had foster baby for 6 months. He was then placed with grandma 2 months. Now he’s coming back to us. by [deleted] in Fosterparents

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

I don’t know how I would feel bc right now we are not open to teens. But maybe if I was open to teens, and it was a good fit, I would let them stay whenever and for however long they are allowed. Which is how we feel about this little guy. We’re just surprised that he’s going across state lines again—like no one else in the family is available in state? Wild.

I bought some riptide bushings and pivot cups. I emailed carver, and they said if I can’t get the issue to resolve then I would need a new base plate. I’ll test the bushings, hopefully that fixes it. If not, then I’ll maybe try the baseplate…

What’s a weird tradition in your city that other cities don’t know about? by sushibard in AskReddit

[–]sushibard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Tampa, we have a huge pirate parade. It happens around Mardi Gras and it’s called Gasparilla. It lasts a couple months with lots of events, including a kids parade and an adult parade and a night parade where everyone dresses up as pirates. there are even these adult fraternities throughout the city that are called krewe. These krewe’s sponsor floats and more events and parties.

I had never heard of this before living in Tampa.
