Seeing SLAP's version of "plus size" is very eye opening. Jamie Foy is small as hell, he's just got a soft baby fat body.
i'm about 210 or so currently. 40+. im sure i could skate better if I lost a few, but i'm doing just fine. I skate 4-5 times a week, swim laps, jump rope, ride bikes etc.
I literally had a friend i skate with tell me the other day he was "worried about me". This friend is an ex bodybuilder that has been on and off of steroids for the past 25 years and starves himself all day (only lets himself eat for one hour a day). I told him he should be more worried about his own heart giving out than mine.
there's definitely some weird dysphoria with skaters. we're not going to all look like pre-pubescent teenagers forever, and thats fine. I feel better at this size then I did when i was 150.
