38 - new setup
Hi everyone, none of my now older friends are all that interested that I’ve decided to start skating again, so I thought I’d share it here.
Like a lot of guys, I skated back in the early 2000s before life got in the way.
I did buy a setup 6 years ago, but bringing that back out today made me realise that it was shot. Bearings making a hell of a racket, with the wheels vibrating and the trucks squeaking.
I also realise that UK skate parks have changed! The concrete is so smooth and the kids on the scooters are like ants.
Anyway, I’ve gone for this setup to get back into things. I spent so long, almost to the point of analysis paralysis trying to choose the right things without blowing the budget.
So many brands are no longer a thing, wildly expensive, or bought out by other companies, it’s a real minefield.
I landed a kickflip today and promptly fell on my arse. So I’m looking forward to building this and getting some real early morning sessions in at the weekends.
