I know that many grown men skate but there tends to be a stigma attached to it. I am wondering how many other members skate if any? Are you any good? What sorts of things can you pull off? Do you have coordination or balance problems?
I skate fairly infrequently. I have peaks of learning but I would not say i'm any good. I can pull of a lot of old skool flatland tricks like fakie fingerflips, shuvvits, caspers, wheelies and sometimes 360 kickflips (not to be confused with the ollie 360 flip or tre flip) moving but I don't do ramps and my ollie ability is almost nonexistant except for stationary heelflips.
I find I have trouble keeping my centre of gravity tweaked over the board and often land clumsily. I suppose balance is something a have slight issues with without the board the only reason I continue is that it fascinates me as the physics is so simple yet so complicated and I can't stop watching if someone does a run with lots of flips it's hypnotically beautiful.
It`s fun, takes some skill and balance. i found it very
hard to learn and are no master at it at all, done it less
the older i get - not so interessting anymore for me
