Wow, I longboarded the other day. Got some good speeds myself. I ain’t done no downhilling since the early 80s. Last run I busted my head open. Gear up guys
Awesome video man keep it up. I got my board back at 50 after three knee surgeries and a 15 year hiatus doctors telling me I’ll never skate again. I pulled a john Cardiel on them ! I said dude I’m walking out this mother Tucker ! I’m gonna skate also. Now I’m not gonna tell you it is all been peaches and roses and I’m skating gnarly than ever now that’s not the truth. Truth is I had to dial it back. I know where pads which I never did before because obviously you’re not cool if you wear pads, L O L. That was a joke please wear pads you’ll be better for it. No pads can come later when your a master like GRANT TAYLOR or CABALLERO . Anyway, I had to slow down can’t go big. I can barely Ollie because my meniscus is shredded but guess what? I’m out there skating and having a lot of fun. Prolly more fun than a 51 year old should have. lol. I did a No Comply for the first time in 20 years ! Felt awesome ! I just do it for me now .. more so than when I was a Gromm. So guys if you can get out there. You don’t need to be doing tre flips down a 12 set or do a smith to board to revert . Man just a nice lil grind on the copping works just fine for me. lol. I’m happy I can drop in on the 5 ft withought killing myself but guess what. It comes back man. Slowly but surely your skating gets better and better. Not to mention the health benefits. I never liked organized sports (shocker ) so when my dr said your blood pressure is going high you need to start exercising and going to the gym or something that gets your heartbeat above a certain amount every other dayto…. Thinking 🤔…….. wait for it BOOM 💥 I KNOW I KNOW! I’ll buy a skateboard ! The woman 👩 loved that idea ….. if you truely skated in the past for a long time and even if you haven’t and want to learn do it ! Yes, there is some pain involved but intrinsically it teaches us something about life. Life is painful. If you do something wrong the first time try and do it different. The next or else it’s going to be just as painful if not worse. Good luck on your skate adventures May the soul of Animal Chin be with all of us amen
and all the skaters said, “amen, Animal Chin, bless us all!” Great story, and thanks for sharing! Pads & helmet on tap for my 50th birthday this year as well. 🤘🏼🥰🤘🏼
