Like the vast majority of people here, I'm someone who skated as a kid and now that one of my boys is interested I'm relearning all this from over 20 years ago so we can skate together.

We don't have much in the way of skateparks so vert skating is kind of out. I have a 8.25 board with 149mm trucks and bigger wheels. I'm finding it hard as a 6ft tall size 12 dude to find good footing in the board. I feel like Ronald McDonald trying to do any simple trick.

What's up with these bigger popsicle decks or some of the Heroin egg decks? Most of our skating is street skating. Any one finding it easier to ride some of the bigger options out there?

Pic of a slappy 50 50 for attention.

I often see streamers and content creators say that they don’t trust ppl without mics. And that they will kill raiders without mics because they aren’t trustworthy. I’m wondering your guises hours on this because I often choose to play with VC turned off because I don’t like being yelled at in public lobbies (to me there is less stress).
Would you trust a public lobbies raider without a mic?
