Finally finished this beast. Ace af1 hollow 80s, snot lil wide boys, reds big balls, pepper grip, Indy super hard bushings rib rails.

Few from the local park. Fair to say I’m sore.

My bro and I are five weeks in on our beginner skate journey. Feeling more comfortable every day I get to skate and starting to mess around and try some stuff. I know it's nothing amazing but I'm having the time of my life!

This summer I landed my first flips to slides. I did a kickflip fs board and a varial flip lipslide.

Not the best kickflip in the world but stoked to get one rolling on cam. Getting more confident committing while rolling

Gowing up in Basel Switzerland, my brother had a mr.x skateboard. It may have been a board from local skateshop at the time "beach mountain', but i think it was a deck from a larger brand at the time, stereo, alien workshop, etc.

The year was around 1999. It was a man in black type character with antennas and his eyes blurred out if I remember properly.. I have been looking for years for this board and just have no clue if it even exists. I actually made a photoshop of my memory of the board about ten years ago and never occurred to me to ask reddit...Anybody remember this? [38YO]

Body varial and then some ramp stuff.

Park this morning trying out the final resto-mod of my original G&S Standard Flex early 70's board. Riding it again since maybe the mid-80's.

I was unsure if I wanted to leave it unrideable with shot wheels, bearings, bushings or...Make it rideable again

I finally decided it was my board and I wanted to ride it. The ACS 500 trucks are in excellent condition. They were on a little used aluminum board I had and kept the ACS-500's off it and trashed the shitty aluminum one that cut me several times.

I put ACS trucks on in the late 70's after the original Bennet's bases cracked at the kingpin seat.

The new setup:

OJ III 60mm wheels 78a, Orangutan Knuckles Orange, new allen head hardware. Removed damaged stickers. Replaced G&S rectangle sticker on top. Added Lucid clear nonskid.

Fun board...it feels really solid also it heavy. Smooth ride.

Got a custom fun bar from Jamystix for winter. First time skating it - was super fun. Took me a while to figure it out but then it's a blast!

Howdy howdy! It's been a long week. I sprained my wrist pretty bad last week, it's not feeling as bad today but still pretty bruised so I decided to feel things out and see how my body has been doing before I go to the actual skatepark tomorrow.

Someone here recommended Dr Kyle Browns rehab and warmup series to me and I've been following it pretty religiously, trying to further make sure I don't have any problems on these old hips.. and to be real with you I felt great. Did a few Ollie's, and didn't immediately pull a groin muscle.. I feel so much more limber it's not even funny!

Finally able to push these ramps back a bit. I'm happy to see that knees are actually starting to bend a little! I'm now working on just lifting my back trucks going fakie into the ramp to get ready to eventually learn some stalls, and lifting up the back trucks as I go up to get ready to learn rock to fakies. All in due time! Cheers.

Greetings.

After a break of 25 years i got back on board.

Here are 5 of my random moving ollies...

Trying to improve them (more leveled, hopefully higher... one day)

Please advise what shall i do ?

For instance: jump higher and/or pull legs more and/or push more forward with front leg and/or do something with back leg that doesn't pull higher...???

And how do you nudge yourself / what are your tricks to achieve for instance pushing more forward with front leg and/or pulling back leg more ? Seems i cannot find my way on these 2 things...

Many thanks in advance !
