It’s been like that for the last 20 years to be fair. Never going to please everyone.
I feel like because they can make it look cool and flowing, doesn’t always lead to a well thought out design. There was the obsession of putting grass gaps everywhere a few years back and they just turned to mud pits.
After saying I really wanted to skate there sometime and now being an hours drive away, I’m planning to hit the spit and sawdust evening session tomorrow if anyone is in the area and keen for a roll
Changed how often I skate. For the past couple of years it’s been once or twice a week and I’ve been steadily getting worse, losing tricks and losing my nerve. I thought it was just my age. But this past month I switched to skating every day, for about half an hour a day. The total time still adds up to about the same, but the difference is amazing! I’ve stopped losing tricks and started getting them back. I feel better, happier and fitter for it.
God I wish I had the time for that! If you can make it work, keep it up. Nothing worse than coming to terms with not being able to do what you could do without thinking every go.
Nice one!
When you’re a kid, you have your small bag of tricks and you try to learn new things.
When you’re older, you have a deeper bag of tricks but more importantly, you have some kind of board control and yeah, the only way to keep this control is to be on your board regularly.
I usually skate twice a week, more when I can but the weather has been terrible lately. I miss those quick solo skates around the house.
