interested to read your progress.
for me, age 32 i was in the best shape
of my life.
i was a bag of dusty bones the day after my 35th b-day.
10 years later and im not skating in a way that is rewarding, other than the simple joy of rolling
I'm curious if this was the consequence of injuries or not?
Did you have a workout routine etc.?
I felt my physical best at 32 aswell. I've had lots of ups and downs since but I'm not far off now (36yo) once I sorted out my lower back issues and have had a solid workout routine again for the last year. I do have to do more cardio now to maintain stamina and it takes an extra day of rest to recover if I'm slack with nutrition.
no workout routine, work in physical jobs, always have. the physicality of the jobs helps with baseline fitness, but increases wear and tear. commuted by bike for years. i did have some injuries, tore ligaments in my ‘front’ foot/ankle/lower leg. and a few years later had some soccer related injuries.
i have never had a stretching program, and it shows. i think this bothers me the most, in that i know i look bad, on board.
tricks that help with board control: (i don’t have, nor ever have had, most of these)
switch flatground shuvs
variable flips/switch varial flips, felt like if i had those, the bigspin flips would be super close
any 180 flip trick, there is some crossover in where they flip/catch.
on the days when i have nothing, i should really try and just do switch flatground shuvs tho, and increase the speed.
