Gone Skateboarding?

I set myself the challenge for forty at 40. Went to fuerteventura for 2.5 days with a couple of mates and did it. Was touch and go mind for the last 3 at a skatepark 10 mins from the airport 3 hours before our flight.

i had no desire to scrape 40 tricks together, so did a 40 second video for my 40th instead

p.s lucky i did; some years later, i have 0 tricks left :rofl::sob:

I had a small plan for a 50 edit that got smaller. Ended up with a 40 second static curb edit.

52 a month from today.

I’m out skating tonight - I have a mini list of things to do so hopefully I can get them done so I can get on with my life haha.

Also thnk I blew away my previous post in error, but in a nutshell my daughter has now got rock fakies on transition. But she doesnt skate with me so I dont get to see :rofl:

Nice one man. I’m gonna go climbing then might get a skate in if the ground dries up.

Nice, I’ve given up on dry ground. Ideally like to establish a carpark/curb spot but the weather is constantly grim.

My daughter needs to see this If I can get her to put her bloody tablet down. Should be mandatory viewing for all girl and women skaters :fist_right:

She’s doing alright!

She enjoyed the 40/40, just watched it.

I was at BaySixty6 yesterday and there was a group of girl skaters on the mini and they were all better than me. Girls’ skating is really coming on

Young Ayva Whittenbury (probably spelt wrong!) is hilariously good at park/street. Not seen her around for a while but it is so good watching young ones like her skate well with solid consistency. Really well mannered too.

I’d dare say that the young Girl/Womens scene is far stronger than the young lads scene around here, but I don’t skate the Plaza so don’t see that side. All (most!) of the young lads are Scooterists.

Probably pushed it a little too far as I tried skating tonight but nothing was really working. Had fun though. Hopefully I can get out Christmas Eve for an hour, but I really should rest…

Went for my first proper push around in years today. I really forgot how hard skateboarding was (17 year break and being just over 20 stone these days has done me no favours at all). lost balance and gone on my back a couple times, especially trying kick turns on the bank and coming down fakie, really ate shit a couple times! But I really forgot just how much I enjoyed just rolling around, felt so good to be back on a board, ended up at the skatepark for just over 2 hours all in, even had the confidence by the end to start trying some rolling ollies again (I do not have them down anymore) I’m gonna be feeling it tomorrow! So so stoked to get back at it again now!
