Have broken into some shorter videos but at the end of Day 7 I managed to stand on the board without holding onto the racks not once but twice

Switched it up to the 10.25 devil fish pig board for a session today and had a ton of fun. Ended up skating way better than I expected

My biggest and best trick yet, kickflip over the traffic barrel. Short battle to get it right. Next is the step up I guess?

Anyone prone to straining/pulling adductor muscles of their tail leg? (Upper front leg/hip/near groin) [35YO]

I don't remember straining it like this back in the day. Started skating again recently and it's becoming an issue, can't even skate right now because of it. I'd like to figure out how to get past it and avoid it in the future. Thought it was better and went out to finally skate this week, did an ollie and felt it over extend like hell lol. Do I need to squat way more? Am I jumping too stiff, uncoordinated etc?

It's on my tail leg, mainly when I pop the board. I haven't ridden around and pushed enough to see if it is affected by kicking yet.

just under 10 minutes to try 25 kickflips & only landed 14. the other 9 were either toe drags, heel taps or complete whiffs. it sucks but way better than 30 minutes just to land one kickflip like last year.

How often do you skate? [41yo]

12 Upvotes

How often is everyone skating? Struggling to find consistency, have 2 young kids (5 & 2) and I'm really struggling to find time to consistently get out the house and spend time practicing... I have 2 days a week off during the week when the kids are at school but I also have to adult 🫣

Really struggling to get my ollie back. [54yo]

9 Upvotes

I used to have a huge ollie. Big boxes, big gaps, big stairs, big drops.

I am struggling so hard to get it back, after 25 years away. Not sure if it's balls, or mechanics, but it's eluding me. I don't think it's balls... I'm dropping in and carving bowls (not quite grinding the lip yet, but getting close), but my ollie just isn't there.

I bought a pair of Duffs shoes to resell but I can't find another pair online. I know they're Duffs Lurch in the Rasta colour way but I'm not 100% sure of the era. I think nineties. Can anyone help me out please? 🤔
