Never tried a hippie jump until today. They are more fun than I thought they would be.[41yo]

This is my little cone ladder that I warm up with by ollie-ing starting from the bottom holes up to the top. Tried a hippie jump messing around, and kind of liked it.

I thought slappys were for old guys but they are harder than just ollie-ing on! Anyway here's my lil slapper I made today [41yo]

What's the secret?

Should I make this just wide enough to be stable or a little wider for trick on trick off?

18" at the peak, 12" at the short end, just under 6' length

Cukes from the garden get active so much faster than from the store. Glad I finally got plants in the ground this year.

I swear these pop up overnight. I scour the garden 3x daily to catch them early. Luckily this was an excellent cuke nonetheless.

I only got through the "planning your plot" part of Gardening for Dummies so I don't have much knowledge other than keep them happy with water or they will get bitter. My kids prefer them smaller and eat them like bugs bunny with a carrot, and I ferment them so also like them smaller. No complaints with this one it inspired some cucumber sandwiches to pack for our weekend outing.

RadioShack(mfg byRealistic) Nova-8 inherited from my lovely and still living Aunt. H / K 630 TwinPower coming soon.

They sound really good after swapping from an old AVR to a newer stereo receiver. Haven't felt any inclination to hook up the sub, these have a great balance.

uj/ rj/ i don't know!

just had a semi-incident with some young men skateboarders.

i've had a policy that next time someone yells "DO A KICKFLIP" i'm gonna stop them, make them watch me but wait for me to stretch and warm up(cruising does not warm your legs for jumping). I'm 40, first try kickflip is within my grasp because i practiced a lot this winter, but warm up is not optional.

anyway, i was cruising on my longboard at a fast pace and passed two young men(post high school at least) and one of them yelled "do a kickflip" to which i replied a friendly wave. He followed up with "that's right you cant!!!!" so after i hit the bottom of the hill i skated back up to them and kindly asked to see his kickflip. He responded with anger and hate. I said if you can kickflip then you know my board is not made for that, but I can see your shoes and I'm not convinced you can ride that "

he said something about air force ones and i said "is that why you two walk your boards around town all the time?"

again, he called me a faggot, i remained composed, his friend slightly shocked and very apologetic.

I told him he can hold my board if he lets me use his.

Called me faggot again while his friend kept pushing him away and apologizing to me.

I told him that I'm in touch with the city about getting a new skatepark and that type of behavior is exactly what they use against us.

I have a garage full of skateboards and a grind box, I'm 40. I obviously need friends to skate with to fully become Kevin, but those kids are trash

I forgot to mention that he really tried getting out of the kickflip by saying that because my board(Comet Cruiser) is terrible for kickflips that his. "joke" was accurate. Lol. I literally suck at skateboarding but holy shit.

My nightly cruise

Had an incredible sunset run and filmed my feet and wheels so I made a quick edit of my second run to make it a little more fun
