I’m on holidays in the south west of France and there is a small skatepark so I decided to have a little routine (i’m getting old) : wake up, breakfast, stretching and go the skatepark (3 minutes away), skate for 2-3 hours. Turns out I went to the skatepark at 10am and the skatepark was already full of scooters and kids on bikes. The park is « U » shaped so it’s hard to skate all of it without getting stop by kids or scooters.
I also have a new board so it’s always hard to me to get comfortable, like a few sessions.
The few skaters were mostly teenagers but they were cool despite being mostly Berrics-esque type skateboarders. I also spotted my first Cariumas in the wild. I’m a big skaterat so I talked about old Transworld videos with a guy in his early 40s I think, he was skating with his daughter I think and it seemed that she enjoyed it and I love when kids have fun skateboarding.
There are also a dad with his kid, they didn’t reply when I said hello. Thought they were from abroad but they are French. The kid was like 12-13 years old, seemed ultra shy so I didn’t insist talking to them ; and was absolutely destroying the park. Turns out the dad was filming with his iPhone (for Instagram) and telling his son the lines to do like : « start with a kickflip to fakie, then cab on the hip, then switch lipslide… ». Lines he executed perfectly haha.
That said I skated easy and did the tricks I wanted to. Today I went to the park at 9am, there was still a few scooters but more space. A guy taught me how to do backside no comply, I struggled with it since 5 years now and I landed one. Also did a pole jam.
So I’m quite happy with my last sessions, good to have a routine. A routine I can’t have in Paris due to work etc. Also I didn’t hurt my 32 years old self hehe.
