I got a new one today [42YO]

I have wanted this one for a bit. I’m so happy I rode away I don’t even mind the wobble at the end.

My summer part on my ramp [38YO]

So this summer I decided to say eff it and go for tricks I’ve never done. I’m proud and decided to post this to remind us old head skateboard community: age is just a number, we keep going because we love it.

Vans high top shoe pain [60yo]

Have knee pain after a session wearing new Vans sk8 high tops. I was just practicing pushing, tic tac, FS, BS etc.. I noticed these skate shoes have no cushing especially in heel base. My pushing leg knee has pain, has anyone expierenced this issue with these shoes ? are their any shoe/heel inserts that may help ?
Thanks.

Not as impressive as most the stuff on here, but I feel I'm the best I've ever been at skating [33YO]

Started skating at 9, and definitley took many breaks

Loud toolhead noise on strictly horizontal or vertical movements

My U1 can be pretty loud, like can easily hear it from across the house loud, so for the past couple days I've been trying various methods to make it quieter. I've turned the acceleration down to 6k but I'm not sure this noise is related to acceleration speeds?

Anyway, when the toolhead moves in only the x or y direction, it's very loud. I tested this by rotating a print of a rectangle slightly and printing it again and the sound is gone. Sorry for the fan noise in the video.

Here's a link to the video (since I can't put two videos in a post) of the rotated rectangle where that sound is no longer happening https://files.catbox.moe/8c2pqb.mp4

Any ideas for why this noise is happening or how to solve it?

First fs scratch on the wall and a rock shuffle to fakie. The shuffle to fakes is fast, I’m still figuring out how to get more sideways but still liked how I did this one. Hope everyone’s well out there❤️‍🔥 [38YO]

Just started skating again [35YO]

Used to skate as a young teen (maybe from 12-16?), now as a 35 year old trying to get back into it again. Here’s my best (albeit slow) ollie yet after about 3 weeks.
