Who Skates?

Tony Hawk makes some boards for Walmart. They’re $30. Perfect for my girls for Easter. I’m very excited for them to get their first boards. My first was a Nash Executioner. I was always embarrassed around the other kids with their legit whips. At least my kids will get a “Tony Hawk.”
I have a pic of the bday when I got it somewhere. I’ll try to find it.

Adam…that is awesome!!! I have two girls myself and definitely understand leotards and tutu's.
Thanks for sharing!
Isn't it great!!! She is equal parts sass and bad-ass

Heck yeah man! Another great option is the Braille boards. There is an "Over 30S skateboarders" group on FB and people say nice things about those. For kids the deck and trucks don't matter much, especially if you can swap the bearings out for some $12 Shake Junt or Bones Reds and get a smoother riding board. I was impressed that you can still get blank Powell Wheels and cheap abec 3 bearings for like $30 bucks total at local shops.

Love the pics with the Nash Board.
Been a great week for skate videos

He even starting pushing on his own and being able to push to balance with one hand on him.
Stoked!

Who Skates!…. and shows it to to the next generation?!
Beautiful post @Appfaff
This thread is on fire again….
Thanks @TheKingHarvest -
beautiful @Aetas

@Appfaff tjw Braille boards are way cool but for the money and my kids anticolated interest level I think the Tiny Hawk boards are going to do the trick.
In my research I did stumble across the Powell Golden Dragon. A full set up for $90 geared toward “Beginners and their dads.”
Anyone have any experience with one? -
Woah that Madness board is so sick. Looks like a fun shape too.

Hey guys! I'm considering a Landyachtz Dinghy as a Cruiser Board. I feel like getting a little bit into Skating again. I want a nible board that cruises well but also allows for an olli.
I've got one week in summer just for myself, before we have our long awaited family camping-holiday :). My plan for that one week off work and other obligations is to hike and skate (maybe 20-30km/day) on German bike trails, camp on a camping ground and repeat.
Do you think the Landyachtz Dinghy will serve me well for that trip?

@RobeOfTheMagi hey bro. I’m a mostly retired street skater for almost my entire life. I moved to South America and got into some downhill drifting on a long board that still had some street handling abilities. It was so damn fun to skate. Fast, stable, had pop for Ollie’s over cracks and debris. Fun to pop off curbs and small transitions….did I say fast!!?
That board was a Never Summer. Best build you could imagine.
Never Summer is a local Denver company…makes sick boards. Snowboards are their bread and butter.Worth a look. Check this deck out!!
In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

Can't stop watching Andy Anderson skate. It's not really skating -it's more like art.
-
@RobeOfTheMagi yea that dude skates for fun and is so creative!!
-
@Mizmazzle You can simply feel his joy =).
Quick pic of my evening cruise with a new second hand Landyachtz Dinghy beneath my feet, sunset in my eyes and Tool's "pneuma" in my ears :). Pure bliss.

@Mizmazzle Sincerest apologies mate, I forgot to reply to your message! I did look into Never Summer boards, they look fantastic! But for me getting into skating and cruising again after many years they are simply too expensive for me. However muscle memory seems to kick in pretty fast and the first frontside 180 and pop shove it came back quickly with the dinghy :). Well, they don't look great yet but I'm happy. Maybe in the near future I might buy a Never summer or an old school Powell-Peralta.
