Both easy and hard at the same time. I skated today for the first time in 7 years. It felt extremely uncomfortable at first and I fell pretty hard on my elbow at point. But after a while I was able to remember stuff like how to Ollie and I felt more comfortable with cruising and turning. I thought it was interesting that some things just felt intuitive and then theres other stuff that you have to actively put thought into. It was fun and I think I might get back into this

Nice.

I starting skating again last summer for the first time in like 15 years. I've only been out a couple of times but I can still do the basics like ollie up on to a small platform and do 50/50 grinds.

It looks so dangerous to me. I am injury prone, so I never got into it. I tried a few times and busted my ass, despite being fairly athletic.

I'm a very active person outside, but I'm not built for skateboarding. Im skinny, but skinny enough it makes falls hurt more and have more impact. I feel like you need a skinny physique to skateboard, but not so skinny you're more likely to break a bone. Some balance in-between there. Or you can just say "fuck it, if I break a bone I break a bone" lol

I'm not a poser, you're a poser.

Would a poser be able to do this?

*Attempt kickflip*

Hold up

*Attempts again*

Just a second, I got this

*Attempts again*

I did this last week. I don't gotta prove myself to YOU

Well at least you're trying.

To me, the biggest posers were the people who would spend a bunch of money on skate gear and clothes and then come to the skatepark to just sit there and think they look cool.

True. I wear skater shoes cause they're comfortable, but that's been accepted for a long time. Nothing else I wear screams "skater".

Is Rocket Power an accurate depiction of skateboarding or are 10 year olds not that good in real life?

It's funny cause I skated seriously for many years but could never kickflip. I could heelflip front noseslide shoveit out, big spin, 360 heelflip, tailslide 270 out, but to land a normal kickflip? Nah fam. Just can't do it.
