- My goal today was to get wheels on the pool tile in the shallow end of our local bowl. Also rode the deep end both regular and goofy to see how that felt. It was like an oven in there today, but I had a great time. Need LOTS of work to be able to ride it with confidence, but it will come!
Nice man. Go get it. You are living more than most kids. It's pretty amazing when you feel your wheels start to hit the tile. Keep going
Yea, it was pretty cool and hopefully it will get more comfortable at some point.
is a this bowl beast
Great work getting the tile dude! I absolutely love those fakie pumps so much!
Don’t you love how thrilling and scary and yet satisfying that is? It keeps calling us back like a moth to a flame. 🔥 😮
Yea, its really got me wanting to do something in that bowl now. My knee is getting better and I skateboarded and inlined the past few days, so hopefully I am on the mend. I tried some pumping tips I got from SkateIQ on a newer video and it works really well, hope to get that one out soon.
That bowl is something wild. I would get dizzy just standing there. Goals reached, that's most important!
Its much bigger looking in person than it looks on the GoPro, that camera always seems to flatten everything out. Hopefully it will get smaller in my mind as I ride it more!
@@theaverageoldguy i believe you. My brain stops working when i want to try to drop in on medium quarter lol
@@Sure2Skate Yea, if we just had a skateboard level view those drops wouldn't seem quite so intimidating! That's what I had to do when learning to drop in on the inline skates. I stood at the bottom of the drops and sometimes even got on my knees and looked up, and it never seemed quite so scary that way. The extra height from the edge to your eyes makes a huge difference mentally!
@@theaverageoldguy sometime i sit on the coping and it looks ok from there. Im 6.3" so that also don't help. Will try to crouch more into drop position and one day when i really (mentally) get into it i will drop in.
@@Sure2Skate Oh man 6.3 is up there, you do have some extra height. Just don't spend long on the coping, decide you are going to do it, hop right up and go!
Way to rip dude!!!
Thanks!!
I skated for many years of my life and I have a deep appreciation for what the sport provides to those who pursue it but I also have a beat up body from it as well and watching you ride that concrete frankly makes me nervous. You just look a little wobbly on the board but I know I did at one time as well, I just don’t want to see an old guy take a slam on the concrete. But this is America and you’re free to skate as much as you want. Just take it slow and work your way up to the big stuff
I'm beat up from a multitude of sports so there's no shortage of body aches and pains already. I am still working on dialing in my trucks and this section would probably have been a bit easier with a little tighter trucks for sure, but hopefully it will get better as I get back into the groove.
