Gone Skateboarding?

I skated last night at a local park. It was good, just the 7 mile bike ride there and back makes it a bit of a mission. When I got back last night I went on google maps and have found a flatter route that is more canal towpath and less hilly country roads.

Took my daughter to girls night at the local indoor. She’s happy rolling down flat banks now and rolling into transition which is pretty cool I guess. Gonna sort her some skate shoes. She really wants to drop in, I tried to help her physically but felt like I was probably being more of a hindrance.

Also gave 4 used decks for the parks summer camp. I think they either strip, skate and then paint them or paint them then skate them. Feel better now they’ve gone as they’ll no doubt make some kids really stoked and give some great memories. I felt guilty they were sat in the garage doing nothing for months.

Local indoor for an hour tonight. Balance a bit better than last time considering I’ve been out since last September. Went with the intention of getting a couple of ledge basics back but there was some dad who was standing in the middle of the park giving three kids advice on roll on 50s.

Precisely why I’m not into parks and prefer skating on my own in the middle of nowhere :laughing:

Best to get your annual quota in early.

Exactly, then I can relax for the rest of the year and keep saying I’ll skate soon

Feel like I’ve learned more new things in the last couple of months than in about 5 years previous. Pretty much exclusively on small quarterpipes but I’ll take it. Got these on Friday eve pretty stoked

Took my daughter to ladies night at the local and turned into ‘skate dad’ :roll_eyes:

I’m a shit teacher but she seemed happy to try.

Managed to get her to try and drop in and she slammed with a head bongo to make it worse. glad she had a helmet on and to be fair she tried a couple more times. Not sure she’s quite ready for dropping in yet though.

A friend has been building this based on the keen ramps build that went somewhat viral a few weeks ago…

Wish my ankle wasn’t toast… :smirk:
