We managed to all do the rainbow rail train today, couple of slams, but hot bath and deep heat, good day, hope youโll had a good one too ๐น๐ค๐ค
Sun's shining, driving 2 hours from up north. Is it just me who loves a decent road trip for a skate, something quite nostalgic about it! Looking forward to meeting you guys later.
Myself and a skater we sponsor did this on Thursday, we went to adrenaline Alley :) Can't wait for the summer so we can do trips to outdoor parks a few days a week again! :)
@Ian Harvey the first skatepark I ever skated was Devonshire Green in Sheffield... The ramps there are about the same size, maybe a little bigger! It was scary as hell! But there are ways to use those ramps without being scared and build yourself up to riding them with ease :) Happy to give you pointers if you'd like :)
Any advise for a 32 year old that seems to freeze up when people are around and just step back and watch instead of getting in the way ๐ skated the house at Sheffield today and ended up just watching for 90% of it
I feel like this a lot too! I've found 3 things help: having my headphones on so it kind of removes me from the room a little bit, trying not to watch other skaters (just keeping an eye out so I don't snake someone etc), and going with friends. That second one can be difficult, so if you find yourself watching other skaters, use it as inspiration, not a comparison! Sometimes I'm the best skater at a skatepark, other times I'm the worst haha! It doesn't mean I don't belong, or that I'm not allowed to have a go! And if you try something, you'll always get board taps from the other skaters, to help push you, and celebrate your wins! :)
