Who Skates?
-
My oldest son has gotten into skating recently. Started with inline skating after watching the movie Brink, and has slowly started morphing into skateboarding. I found a neighbor locally who gave us a free deck and a free longboard. We got some free used spitfire wheels from our local skateshop and bought some independent trucks. He is loving it! I've been getting back into it with him and riding the longboard. I used to ride all the hills 20-25 years ago, so it's been fun feeling young again.

Every young lad that chooses a board over a scooter deserves a warm hug.

Been skating since I was 14, so almost 30 yrs. Used to manage an indoor skate park/shop back in Vermont and worked at a skate company when first moved to SF in 2008. Dont get out as much as I used to but still get down here and there. Live close to waller, and everything in SF is a skate spot. Haven’t skated that much since March of this year. Broke my arm, didn’t heal right/or at all. Got surgery end of July, and my Arm been so much better, post surgey. Could feel my bone move and hear it grind before surgery it sucked. Like 2 weeks after surgery, I was skating flat ground after work, trying take it easy. Ate shit and almost fucked up my 6 screws/arm all over again. Thankfully I was alright took slam on knee and elbow, but Was a wake up call. I was bombing into work, and that could’ve been way worse hit a rock, car etc. Since then just been walking in to work, so not tempted to skate. Till my arm is back to
. I’ll be back though, itching -
@TENDREL rad video, thanks for sharing. I remember the first time I saw Wallenberg. I had moved from the UK to SF for college and just happened to be staring out the bus window….i lost my mind and immediately got out. It was surreal to be a place that I had seen on videos/mags. Special place. I wonder if they’ll do a video on Hubba Hideout

Speaking of SF skating, and to keep this thread going. This is my roomie, best friend, much more than that brother I never had, David Abair last part! Friends since back in Vermont and major reason I moved out to SF 16yrs ago and def stayed was cuz of him our brother hood. He put out a lot of sick parts over the years but this last one extra special. Love and miss him everyday. -
@meatmarketdenim1 super sick skating man. I love those infamous SF bomber run outs after a gap trick or the like.
Did something happen to your buddy Dave?
