New board from CCS 😢

I'm new to skating, and this is the first board I've ever purchased! It looks and feels great, except it's already damaged and worn. I don't understand why or how this happened, especially when the box it came in is undamaged. I've already sent an email to CCS because this is straight-up depressing. This was a birthday gift to myself, and someone used it before I could. 😢

couldn't believe my luck! 😂

RIP, Henry Gartland Forever <3 my favorite skater to come out of my state of Minnesota for sure, saw this on FB marketplace and instantly asked to buy. The guy's response and our ensuing back and forth cracked me tf up 😂 very nice dude, if you're in the area he even has lots of other cool hometown hero pro decks!

i will never skate this, on the wall forever bc it and his legacy is art

EDIT: forgot to originally so i posted a picture of the deck in the comments. 8.28 Santa Cruz

I spent the last couple months making a simple skateboarding game — would love your feedback

Hey everyone 👋

Over the last couple of months, I’ve been developing a simple skateboarding game called Flappy Skater, and I’d really appreciate some honest feedback to help improve it further.

It’s a casual arcade-style game with simple controls, and I’m especially interested in hearing your thoughts about:

  • gameplay feel
  • difficulty balance
  • controls
  • visuals/sound
  • overall fun factor

Google Play link:
Flappy Skater on Google Play

Thanks a lot to anyone who gives it a try 🙏

First kickflip since substantial injury [58YO]

I’ve been recovering from a slam in March that was much worse than it should have been. Hung up on a 6’ quarter pipe (long story… but short fall!), fractured my hip and tore all three glute muscles. The doctor’s official diagnosis was “you literally busted your ass.” It’s been a slow recovery and skating has been sporadic, painful, or intensely frustrating (and sometimes all three). But I can feel the slight progress each time and privately celebrate the small wins. I turned 58 today and this was my gift to myself: my first kickflip since the incident. This community has been a catalyst for me to push through and get it done. Thanks for being so supportive of each other, and please do not go gentle into that goodnight. Get out there and skate at whatever level feels comfortable. Do a kickflip… or a kickturn! Keep the stoke alive. We’ve come too far to let go now.
For the record: this took much longer than I anticipated. Nothing comes easy anymore, which makes it even more rewarding.
