Who Skates?

@SamD I get lots of lower back pain (though I’ve made huge gains in the area with training) knees, ankles…all thanks to decades of throwing myself off stairs, into concrete and rails, off rocks and cliffs on both skateboards and snowboards. I used to always joke how it was gong to suck when I was an old man…well, shit…here we are.

Your locals probably yell, “that bloody wanker looks to be having great fun!!” In tones of jealousy

anyone in this thread talking about ice skating?

@twinning There's a rink not too far from IH Gosport HQ — bit of a rariety around these parts. Sadly, I'm literally like Bambi on ice so stick to concrete and surf

This is rad man, Also props for 5 miles a day skate commute to work. That’s a great way stay in shape and imagine beautiful ride in. When I skate to work, it’s like 2 min commute tops if hit the lights right on hill bomb down. Nice way start the day, get that adrenaline rush. The Way back home up the hills not as fun lol.

@SamD said in Who Skates?:

or simply shout "wanker"

Well if it is good enough for Ted, then you are in good company @SamD

@meatmarketdenim1 Sounds fun though! It’s quite flat around here so no hill bombing, but I’ve got a beautiful stretch of about 2 miles right along the seafront – can really fly down that if the wind’s at my back.

Don’t think I’ll be skate commuting all the time as 10 miles there and back might be a bit much everyday. I usually cycle, but aiming for once or twice a week on the board when the weather’s good over the summer
