Best carving session yet [56YO]

Oh brethren skate-o-holics. Today was amazing, a gentle breeze to make me feel like I was goin fast, clear sidewalks, easy intersection transitions, and a playlist of 80’s medium tempo awesomeness that went perfect with the carve.

Sounds crazy but that’s a 30minute chill ride and there’s only 2 sections you have to push. Glorious!

I’m still using Lyft/Uber to get home but $20 is worth it.

A kid called me an old fart today [56YO]

Heading down Antonio Pkway on my long board, gentle carving, good music, perfect weather… happy!

Intersection, waiting, 4kids (sub-13yo on 2 e-bikes pull up and start snickering, light turns, they yelled “old-fart” while accelerating away.

Broke me a little.

Unintended consequences [56YO]

Just a reminder to my brethren old skaters…

  1. Our bodyparts are old
  2. I overused something called an Achilles tendon
  3. Penetrex is my new favorite for soreness

I ride goofy foot sooo… I’ll be the old guy either just rolling or limping my board around RSM.

Easy carving in RSM [56YO]

Today was pretty glorious. I skated Antonio Pkwy from Santa Margarita Pkwy to Oso Pkwy - 4.6 miles of gentle downhill and a wide sidewalk and easy crosswalks. The music shuffle was over the top awesome, Boston, Fleetwood Mac, Van Halen… the casual carving/slalom. Almost 5miles of bliss!
The big problem is no bus back and Lyft went from $15 last week to $25 this week. I feel like those guys that pay big $$$s for man-made waves
My ankles are throbbing but I can’t get rid of the smile on my face.
