Had a session at a local skatepark and chatting it up with old friends and new skaters still skating and re-learning stuff for fun on the weekends. Beers came out for the old heads on a blazing sunday and beginner kids learning to roll in and feel the park out with their pops or chaperone on the smaller side of the park. Tried to warm up and play skate to get the bag of flatground tricks going, and got skunked first go in like 5 minutes. I’ve been skating super loose trucks just to challenge myself a bit more, as well as having a bit more control with turning and landing softer to avoid wheel bite. I managed to skate for like 30 minutes after and landed a switch frontside flip and switch heel, after not doing those tricks in 4-5 years.
Lost about 50+ pounds after being close to 300 lbs during peak covid times (my heaviest). Hoping to use skateboarding at the park, local curb, or on the streets (if there is filmer slap pals out there who films other slap pals/newbs) as my outlet to creatively and physically escape from everything negative happening in my personal/family life.
