I’m looking for some old classic pics - any 80s, 90s, or 00s pics to share?

Das Wochenende steht im Zeichen eines Geburtstages. Das Patenkind wird mit einem neuen überrascht. Ganz in schwarz deshalb, da es neben Glitzertürkis die absolute Lieblingsfarbe ist. Leider konnte ich kein Board in Glitzertürkis finden, ohne mein Budget zu sprengen ;)
I am so excited :D

Today we (we = all my colleges and I) have a day of vacation, so our weekend has already started yesterday 🙂

I will take the opportunity to go to the skate hall early in the morning. I suspect and hope that it will be very empty at 12:00 today. The weather will be good, too so I think most people will skate outside. And the good is that nowadays they have tickets for a day, so it's possible to go in for a while and leave and come back later 🙂 So I could go and skate outside too and go back in the evening or so ☀️

I want to make a few video recordings and photos and plan to try out some new tricks that I'm afraid of. Sometimes it's good and needed to have a place with max. only a few people to have quietness / peace to be able to try out things.

There are also some stairs near my flat that I want to jump down. It's quite a big gap. Usually I avoid gaps, but this one looks so good and the ground is very good for start up and the stairs have been tempting me for a few months now 😺

Have to get used to the park - it's not so easy to find good lines... but I'm creative and will find something better next time 🙂

I like the rails in this park 🙂 Just started to skate rails a few weeks ago and they're still a bit scary, but it feels very good that I get used to it 🙂

We had a lot of fun today. It was my first time in this park. It's quite far away from my home - and the park is a bit too short, but I like it. I think I'll gonna visit it from time to time and try to get used to it 🙂

@alethenorio You have plenty of time. I watched this awesome video about Judi Oyama. 63yo competing in skateboard downhill world championships. Pro skater since 17, didn't drop in until she was 51!

Of course, then I overdid it.

I moved up to a slightly more difficult ramp where the board needed to travel a bit further to make contact, and my weight transfer wasn't far forward enough. Board shot off and I hit the ramp horizontally. Pads and helmet took most of the impact, but I hit hard on the lower back. Lots of stretching, continued movement and now ibuprofen. Going to feel that tomorrow morning.

Won't take away my buzz though! 😎

Huge night of ! I dropped in for the first time! At the age of 46!

Repeated it over a hundred times to really get it into muscle memory. I am absolutely stoked.

TIL: Blunt to fakie!

I was so afraid of this trick - even if I was already able to do it on a curb... on a ramp I was really afraid of it. Don't know why... now it's quite easy for me... well, at least on a small quarter, but I guess there's no big difference to a bigger one. Next time I try it in the bowl then!! 🙂

For those who do not know what this trick is:

Imagine you ride with your board straight forward up on the transition of a ramp. When your front truck is near the coping you lift it up a little bit to avoid the bonk and go further. You still let the board's nose come a bit closer to you so that your back truck also dosn't get bonked by the coping and when the back truck has gone over the coping, you press the board with your front foot down, so that your back truck locks in on the top of the coping and then you stand in this position for a moment. That's a blunt, or more precisely a blunt stall.

Then you press the tail with your back foot and pull back your front foot so that the board's nose comes closer to you. This will release the back truck from the coping and you'll start to roll down on the ramp again. You keep the board close to you until you can push down the front truck so that it reaches the ramp, too and than you roll back in fakie.

That's blunt to fakie. Many people do blunt to rock to fakie, which is when you after blunt land with the board on the coping (rock'n roll - a.k.a. rock) and then just lift up the board and go back on the ramp. People say that's the easier one... I don't know, because I didn't try this variant.

Blunt to fakie worked directly on first try for me and I repeated it tonight about ten times and each worked fine. I like this trick a lot - it feels just great 🙂 Will do a recording next time.

Some teenagers at the supermarket tried to give me shit for skateboarding down. Gave them nothing. My dudes, do I look like I care what you think?
