#laterskater — Public Fediverse posts

I helped a grown man today learning drop ins. He went from anxiously doing it while holding my hands to doing it alone in less than 15 minutes. It never gets old to see the happiness in peoples' eyes when that happens. And it makes me so very happy, too, to see that, to be reminded of my own first time. It really is the best feeling.

So, yeah, it's really great, how much offering a little bit assistance can help people overcome their fear.

On the bright side, I learned a new small little combo: backside axle nose pivot disaster. Wheee!

Still struggling with frontside axle/50s, I keep overshooting. But too much speed is not the issue...ah well, one day I'll get it.

Despite the really strong winds today, I had a good session. Tried some new stuff (laid back frontside 5-0, Rock to disaster), didn't work at all, but it was still fun. :)

Went for a quick street session after the festival day today. Never done this before.

I had this silly little idea and my friend Tim whipped up the designs

Some #skateboard silliness from today, quick mini ramp session, after some curb practice. banged elbows and everything today, a proper workout. First skate since turning 52 last week :) #laterskater :) ( #listeningclub tag too, now that tonights pick has played out, didn't want to distract :) )

Happy skate anniversary to me!

Practiced some fs rock n rolls and bs 50s today

The heavy gusts of wind made it really hard to skate transition today, but I still had fun and even tried a new combo I saw Bryce Wettstein do.

Using a street sign as a tiny jump ramp. That's a new one for me. Thanks to Linda for that amazing shot!

@Shobeck heres and old man ( 51 year old me :) ) trying and failing to learn new stuff on the quarter there. Its a great place, somewhere dry to skate. #skateboard #skating #laterskater

No idea what was different today but I finally managed to overcome my fear and get my back foot on the board again when ollieng up the London gap.
(Of course the two tries before filming were way cleaner and higher but whatever)

First #skateboard of the year, very much #laterskater in this clip, I think the collective age is about 145 years :D though i'm the only one over 50. Nothing technical, just a bit of fun on new years day.
