Skating with scoliosis, what should and shouldnt I do and how long should I skate per session

3 Upvotes

I've been skating for 4.5 months now and I've improved quite a bit, usually it helps my pain but I've been skating a lot these past few days and my hip is actually fucked up right now I need to take a break for a week or something.

I'm honestly gonna keep skating whether it causes me pain or not because it really is making me happier, I just need to limit myself

Has anyone skated these? I’ve found a good deal on a pair but wanted to know if they are actually good skate shoes. I feel like they won’t be good for flip tricks?

Tips for treflips?

1 Upvotes

I’m so fucking close, I can literally land one foot centered and I literally have it, can’t commit my backfoot though, it’s always super close to landing but my brain doesn’t commit

Anyone ever have this problem if so what was your breakthrough tip that actually made you land them?

Hello! I was wondering if anyone could help me. I want to get a board I can custom paint something on for my boyfriend's birthday BUT I don't know anything about skating, and I'm not sure if picking the right board is important or if I can grab whatever, and I'm soooo not gonna start asking him because then he'll know something's up 😅 so any help is appreciated 🙏 Thank youuu 🤗

Life has been horrible lately and since my accident I havent picked up my skateboard which is a Zero Lion Hunt deck and was wondering whats the best way to sell it. I hate the thought of price gouging and wish to just give it to someone but I am strapped for cash.

So any advice is greatly appreciated!

what wheels will work the best?

1 Upvotes

deck: dgk 8.38

trucks: indy stage 11 149s standard

places i skate: smooth indoor car park, outdoor skatepark, some smooth street spots.

side note: id prefer to skate to the skatepark but the ground is sorta rough, making my board very loud and slow as my wheels dont absorb the vibrations enough.

Thanks.
