I'm in my 40's and still skate. It's not a "kid's sport" it's like playing basketball or any other hobby and it's rad exercise. Some of us just have to get gnarly and simps will never understand.

Loved the bit about everyone riding long boards.

I don’t skate much any more but I’ve always loved the no fucks given attitude skaters have. I think you should adopt it more.

Thank you very much! I’m glad you took the time to read it!

Guys on longboards are funny, but in the end, everyone should do what they love! Besides that, those downhill psychopaths are 1000% legit."

Used to be one of those downhill psychopaths, until becoming a father… Now I’m lame and too scared.

Yeah for sure. The sport is so nuanced and different in many ways there are so many ways to ride a plank. I also think people always try to defend what they think is the legitimate form of something. Surfing is exactly the same.

True, those nutcases aren’t wired the same way as us it seems.

Der Anfang - hat direkt richtig reingesogen.

„Like any other hobby or sport, skateboarding helps us stay sane and heals our minds, which are wrecked by social media, work, and the weight of the world.“ THIS.

Hab‘s echt gerne gelesen.
