Lately my hips have been bothering me & my left hamstring, too. I do basic stretches (No Salba) before I skate but I'm starting to think about trying some yoga daily. Anybody have any stretches/yoga positions that my hip might benefit from? Rather ask guys who actually skate than just blindly hit up Google.

Pigeon and some warrior type stuff..windshield wipers...what's helped my hips more than anything is rolling around on a lacrosse ball....

Warm up before you skate....stretch at night...

Thanks guys!  I'm just happy my back has been allowing me an hour or two at a time without putting me out for a few days lately.  Knock on wood ;)

I was gonna say pigeon too and also the ball or foam roller.  I think yoga in general is gonna help though as it will keep you flexible and limber

I bet there's some weird girly clamshell and dog pissing excercises that might help your hips too....

sooooo..... I went back to Paris for a friend's birthday last week and I thought I'd pay the new Supreme store a visit. That was weird. I think I finally understood the famous Jason Jessee quote: I love skateboarding so much I want it to die. There were 1000x more fashionistas than "skaters" in there. Fucking hated it.

Then the following day, kinda hungover after the party, I went cruising in the streets for a while and everything was good again, after a few powerslides and shit. Ok no real point here except I really miss living in a city where you can skate anywhere/everywhere on smooth-ass pavement.....now that cruising around is pretty much the only type of skating I do!!

that's good to hear! and actually that doesn't surprise me, as I know Samir is running the store. I know him a little from back in the day, he's a cool dude. But it's just so far removed from what skating was.... it's weird.

Not much, but it's all I have to contribute old skater video wise.  I'll take what I can get at 43.  Have been playing a lot of basketball lately, amazing how full court play makes you realize how out of shape and weak you really are.

HELLO?!?! HELMET??? Rad shit man.

on crutches my second time in two years. My body has been telling me "no" lately when I do anything remotely big, but the mind is still very willing. I'll teach this old bag of bones who is the fucking boss.
Are you a kook? If you would say this, the answer is “YES”
I quit skating for a time due to piling out

I got in a 45 minute session before my feet hurt too much from switching to some skinnier shoes. I think I'll try putting plastic bags full of water in them and throwing them in the freezer to stretch those things out.  42 years old in July.

I probably wouldn't want to go anywhere else either if I had those mini bowls to mess around on.

I'm 46

Male

Learned to skate vert at Skate City.  I never dreamed I would skate vert at 12.  I could not even go down a 30 degree incline without eating it.  My lesson was tighten your trucks and follow me.  Did a few runs in the capsules and that was it.  I learned to skate vert.

Did a few sessions at Hickam Hangar (which is a great keyhole), some night sessions at Skatelab.  
As much as I love skating big ditches, curbs, bowls and ramps.  Seen too many broken elbows to pick up a board again.

Not a fan of the big pants and small wheels era.  Skating fast, lines, flow, knowing how to push is the best part of skating.
  
Favorite Skaters: Flip Team, Tommy G, Alva, Cab, Jaws, Gravette, Ishod, Raybourn and Evan Smith.    

Watching Luan Oliveira win Street League in LA on a Oscar Niemeyer inspired course gets me excited about the future of skateboarding.

Hit the park before work.  Nobody there, so I didn't feel too weird trying to film myself.  Nothing spectacular, but feeling pretty jazzed lately on skating as much as I can.  My new board is hyping me up quite a bit.  Think I'll go skate a curb before work tomorrow.
