Stoked!

Yeah not looking forward to that bit

i’m fully on mask wearing, no issues there. however i kinda feel like if someone is stood next to me giving me a tattoo for 6 hours and they have covid, i’m going to be getting it with or without the mask. similarly, how come i can get a haircut without a mask but not a tat?

get a face tat

I’m getting tattooed in 3 weeks too. Worst time of the year to get tattooed… Oh well.

i’m so mega stoked i could cry. i’ve been messing around with my setup loads this year and moved up to 8". my latest deck also had a longer wheelbase than i am usually riding

today i setup with a new deck, 8" again but a shorter wheelbase and it is heaven

got all my tricks back and they feel great. heelflipped over a skateboard which i haven’t done in ages and requires my special meter to be high

feel like i’m 15 and just discovered skating again

Try before you buy with a couple of doilies and a tin of spray paint?

Tell me about it, I stepped up to a 8.125 popsicle after skating that shape but only in 7.875 for over a decade yesterday. Loving it so far, works well with 144s. Gotta skate more flatground and see how that works. Hungover now but going for a quick skate if the weather allows it.

it didn’t take toooo long to get used to the extra width. a lot of it was mental stuff about how it looked different when i put my foot here or here. i think i just picked a really stupid deck to move up to. too concavey and too long wheelbase

More ā€˜Pointless topics’ than Stoked thread but…

A while ago my mate was driving our friend home, before he dropped me off home, and I clocked some building work at the side of the road and glimpsed a spot behind all fences. I’m totally glued to it, looking at it through the window – yelling ā€œspot!ā€ out loud, scrambling to get my phone to get a photo, etc.

Since then, I had totally forgotten how to describe where it even was, to find it again, as I don’t know that area of Leeds at all.

Went and got my vaccine today, walked out the place towards the nearest bus stop and instantly landed back at this spot.

It’s literally bang opposite the entrance to Elland Road Stadium, which is currently a vaccination centre – and also pretty fucking hard to miss. And I was too preoccupied when I saw it the first time to even realise.

Bizarrely after reading that it got me wondering if it were at all possible to knock one out using the crook of your elbow

Why a shrimp? Just asking cos I’d love a tattoo but can never decide what to get, which is probably a good sign to not get one. So always wonder how people decide what to get.

And why not a prawn? If that is a wave above the crustacean, does that make it a saltwater creature?
