I have a problem.
I don't have a camera capable of capturing the breadth of my mental illness, but from where I'm sitting I can see around 2 dozen full setups that I don't skate that often but have kept around for whatever reasons. Over by the door are the 4 or 5 I actually skate frequently and a handful of freshies that are on deck. Under my bed there's a stack of probably 15 that I'm either done with or didn't like that I always tell myself I'm going to sell but usually end up just giving away. Finally, on the other side of the room there's a couple boxes of new decks I don't plan on skating but I'm hoarding for various reasons.
Frankly it's pretty depressing.
I’ve got some stuff as well. Probably 3 completed set up, stuff for another 2, few extra decks.
I don’t really skate. I was working too much, just to kinda scrape by, and now I’ve been staying inside with the whole shelter in place. Although I don’t think I’m at a high risk to give/get the covid, just pushing around, I’ve been trying to just stay low/inside, so as to do my part. Where I live people are out and about pretty frivolously, seeing an old guy skating down the street is the definition of unnecessary.
And now and I’m just trolling the nets looking at other boards. Not needed.
For me what’s depressing is that All of my shit is relatively old (I haven’t bought a board or parts in 6 ish months), but I’ve got enough to last me till the end of my life. One complete would do that. Like if I was some poor South American youth, I could make one of my completed last for the rest of my days.
I say all of that to offer some sympathy.
I have tried getting rid of stuff/giving away. I’ve gotten into a cycle where I’ll do that and then re buy same stuff. To that point I just don’t give away 8” trucks anymore, because i should know I’m going to circle back.
The only temporary ‘cure’/‘solution’ is to skate as much as possible and that’s just not happening these days.
Boo hoo
