... sure thing!Nice, I’m sure you’ll be the next tony hawk in no time.
Very true. It helps that I used to skate when I was younger. I was never very good but I always had the basics down i.e. balance, etc. When I was little there was no good skate parks around..
I've already started looking into a new deck of my own.... lol.
Skating in those random areas is what we had to do when I was little. There was a church that we skated at in Craley strictly for the curb. It was so coated with wax that it was black on the edge.
Thanks! I plan to record more small videos of accomplishments. The videos also help me to see what I could do better.
This is awesome! I recently bought my son and his friend skateboards from Valsurf. While I was buying the boards and having them built, I decided to get myself one too! We have a skate park near where I live as well. I was an avid skateboarder in my youth and getting back on the board felt so natural even after all that time of not skating! I taught my son and his friend how to skateboard and now they love it!
Yo, that's awesome! It's also inspiring to know that I'm not the only one considering getting a board for myself... probably going today after work to get a deck built... :-D
It's a Quasi. It's pretty well built. I'm using some slightly softer wheels for a more smooth ride. My original wheels were designed for grinding which I'm not doing too much of these days.@mastermalone I'm curious, what brand deck did you get? The skate shop by my house has limited inventory but they have a Girl deck that I like... I figure if I wanna skate tomorrow... I might be gearing that deck up.
Plan B seems to have some of the highest reviews, along with Birdhouse and Zero.
That's awesome! I always advocate living the dream, whatever the dream may be.
Yo that's awesome!!! I'm jealous... I wish I would've kept it up over the years but I guess you can always wish on just about anything.
When I was younger I used to ride fairly tight trucks, to the point where I would generally swap out my stock bushings for the harder ones from shortys or bones. Now I ride my trucks a bit looser, generally almost as loose as they come right off the shelf (usually a quarter to a half turn tighter than stock on my independent trucks with stock bushings/washers at most). I know a ton of guys, particularly guys who are more into transition/park riding and less into flatground pop/flip tricks that ride their trucks crazy loose and love it that way. Truck tightness is really a personal preference thing as you can even see at the pro level where you have guys like Nyjah who ride fairly tight trucks and then guys like daewon who has his front truck so loose I am pretty sure it does not even have a top bushing (not joking).
