I have found that middle age skating is a world of pain.
I watched my son evolve from a 10 year old skate rat to now being a elder (at 21 lol) custodian of the Bondi bowl.
He was always a big fan of the five dock park. And he reckoned the Macquarie Fields one was brilliant

I tried to get him into surfing but once he could stand up in a shorey he lost interest

Keep it up Ricky!

TMSB. If your son has not yet been to the bowls at greenhills cronulla he’s missing out. Lights also. Probs the best in Sydney

Yeah, I tried with surfing too, and he was making good progress but it didn't grab him. My 6yo daughter might be up for it this summer :-D-:

Took my son to warehouse 11 in Artarmon this morning. Really impressive setup. Doesn’t appear kids skate anymore, my son was the only skater, probs 30 kids on scooters.

I wasn't aware of that. I might check it out. My son broke his wrist a couple of weeks ago on the board so he's out of action for 6 weeks - during school holidays and missing his first comp :( Ah well, I guess he needs to get used to it

Im a little overprotective in that i insist he wears wrist, knee and elbow pads plus the helmet when he is skating ramps. Constantly getting asked why the other kids mainly only wear helmets.

If you go to that place, earplugs are helpful. Noise levels are off the charts.

See now, this is why skateboarding will always be cooler than surfing for the youth.

Young surfers get old and keep surfing, thus losing any semblance of rebel edge or cool, whereas skateboarding at 40+ is a recipe for broken bones, busted kneecaps and a host of other injuries.*

Sk8 or Die!

Of course there are exceptions- Hatchy.

Lol. I don’t skate much anymore. Haven’t given up but just don’t go that often. It was like every time we’d turn there’d be blood, broken bones, or concussion. Kinda off putting like you’re just wondering when your number is going to be up.

Carving fast lines around a skatebowl is great crossover training for surfing though

Speaking of all the hard charging frothing chicks surfing now, are there any females dumb enough to do this ridiculous male skating nonsense?

A friend of mine in the US runs a sports management company and her clients are mostly female pro skaters.

No scars, no casts, no blood, no protruding bones. Yawn. Dudes would have tried some envelope pushing dumb shit till somebody got hurt.

Would have been more entertaining had they been wearing the swimwear cranky alluded to.
