Did you see the most recent forum edit @wheelsofretrospective ?
That is hardcore ledge pornography. That looks like absolute perfection.
The rest looks like mellow fun too. Love it.
Not sure my dear @anonymity where am I looking/what did I miss?
Oh FFS, I actually thought the forum had been edited somehow! ![]()
Yes! I watched it a few weeks back and it did get me stoked! Such a cool video. Laughed hard at the title, too. I’ve never been that into a solo skate tbh so if anyone’s relatively local to the 3 counties, hit me up.
I should probably get over myself and have a solo roll soon though.
Had a power hour tonight. Wasn’t going to go but Mrs asked if I was - which means she is good with me fucking off for a bit - so I said I wasn’t planning on it but I’ll pop out for an hour and be back for kids bedtime ![]()

Turned out a pretty fun quick session, just skating really, doing shit I can do and having a laugh with one of the younger lads.
Solo skates are good for the soul because skating is good for the soul. ![]()
Couldn’t agree more.
It’s great when you have someone to skate with because you can have a laugh and push each other on. And it’s great when you have the place to yourself because you can work on your tricks.
Ah bum! I saw you mentioned you were planning to come down for the Open Day / Repent event but didn’t see you! In fact, I know there were loads of N26 alumni I didn’t but also did bump into!
Hope it’s healing nicely Franky baby!
Thanks mate! It’s healing well I suppose.
The surgeon said I was allowed to ride my bike and go hiking now. I translated that as fuck it, low impact skating might as well be acceptable. Went for 3 mellow quick skates these past days and skated for about half an hour at my local, probably the shittiest park in Switzerland, today. Felt gooood.
Nice! Hoping to get my first roll-around since August tonight
Post-op Franc still ripping ![]()

Thanks! Getting back on my board after having surgery for something not related to skating is much easier than skating again after breaking some bones or something like that which I’ve experienced far too many times before. Gotta take it easy for two more weeks but I’ll be fine after that. Gonna set up a freshie (or two). ![]()
Last couple of nights. Keeping it mellow. Out again in a bit for an hour or so.
Playing around the house doing non-tricks on non-spots. Good for the soul while my scars and my liver heal. ![]()
Nice!
I did about an hour and a half last night. Just skating about. And my daughter came out too which was cool, she was on her quads though. Can still drop in and do her various quad tricks. Shame her boots are too small haha
50 minutes in a crowded skatepark this morning, tried to do tricks. Felt good. ![]()
First sesh since January at my beloved anarchist-co-op DSC in Doncaster. My daughter genuinely hyped on skating, did the first back disaster I’ve done in probably a decade. Stokage
A couple of sessions this weekend, a few days after my 64th birthday.
At my age I don’t learn many genuinely new tricks - it’s all about trying to get back tricks I’ve lost. Which is why I was so pleased to get something I’ve never done before - backside ollies off of coping. Started in the shallow end of the bowl and then took them to the 8ft extension.
They’re not big and they’re not stylish, but they’re a start.
