I agree don't worry about what people think I do a lot of street skating and I get crazy looks all the time and honestly it doesn't even matter because at the end of the day I don't answer to those folks and as long as I am having fun and not hurting anyone than that's all that matters! Shred On!!!!
Skating is exercise. I skate with a friend who is 70. He surfs and uses skating to exercise when he comes to L.A. . We go downhill on my street. Nobody says anything, and we wouldn't care if they did. Get off the phone and roll people!
We all start from the beginning some are just at different levels of the journey. I’ve mostly found the anxiety mainly lives in the mind. Skaters are typically great people, supportive and welcoming. One of the best group of people I’ve ever known. Of course there are bad apples among the bunch. For the most part I feel it’s a great community. KEEP SHREDDING loogie!❤️🛹
I remember when I picked skating up I would just cruise around my city and people look at you but you gotta realize that most people do not care and are more worried about their plant at home that needs water! Just cruise around and have fun that’s all that matters
Dude how little people care cannot be understated it’s without a doubt 💯% true. But honestly just like everyone else it’s the critic in our own head that needs to be put to rest.
That thing you were doing near the beginning where you relax your foot and shake/jiggle it... THAT'S exactly how I've figured that I can reverse and stave off a bone spurs flare up from occurring during a sesh or just whenevz. When I feel one startn to flare up, I just do that with my foot for about one minute, then sit down for 3 minutes, BAM, GONE!!!🤙🏼 Works most of the time!! Old dood problems!😂
@scott.skates Shoot, I don't know bro. I think you can end up with them from various ways, like they're not just caused from one particular thing. I've got em in my leading foot. I've seen em on exrays. Most of the time, I can't even tell that they are there. When they flare up, it's excruciating though.
i'm over 50 and used to go to my local skatepark pretty much daily, with some little spot skating here and there. over the last 3 years i've pretty much stopped going to the park completely. not that i didnt like it, i just started feeling completely uninspired driving to a place designed to skate. i wasnt progressing (50+) and had broken my wrist and slammed on the side of my face over the last 7 years of going, so was a bit more trepidatious as the park is a lot of big transition. Getting into curb skating and building my own little backyard thing is where i'm at now. i just have no desire to hit my local park. i'm not opposed to skateparks, just have to be pretty small in height and kind of quirky for me to be interested. i find DIY spots are typically the best, everything is typically built up from a slab and more user friendly. another thing for me too, was being around people my own age. that is pretty much non existent. i was "skatepark friends" with a handful of dudes in their late 20s and early 30s, but when teenage kids would show up, just couldnt really hang. not their fault, just not my deal. my suggestion to older dudes feeling weird about skateparks, is dont go. find some fun easy to skate spots or curbs. makes me feel like i'm 14 again, when skateparks didnt even exist. sorry for the novel.
@@scott.skates front slappy, crooks, back tail (bs power slide in). My bag is very limited. Just happy to be out there getting exercise instead of the gym
