I HAVEN'T DONE THIS IN ABOUT A DECADE

in adventure •  7 years ago 

For @papa-pepper, skateboards were mostly used for transportation.


Whether it was just getting to someone's house faster than walking after high school or letting my old Dalmatian "Roadie" pull me back to the school bus I used to live on from State Street in Madison, WI, I put some mileage on a few skateboards. One of my favorite pastimes was just finding a nice long stretch of concrete and rolling along it.

LET'S GIVE IT A TRY AGAIN!

Though it had probably been about a decade or more since I took a cruise on a skateboard, I found a nice looking stretch of concrete recently. I thought that I might as well pick up a board and give it a go. Unfortunately, the only boards that they had for sale at the store that I stopped at were 36 inch longboards. Not that there is anything specifically wrong with longboards, it's just that I can have more fun on the other ones.

I also wanted to try out my GoPro on a skateboard. I thought that it would stick with the adhesive, and it did... for a while. You'll be able to see in the video where it detached and rolled a few times. In the end, I just held it in my hand and recorded some footage anyway. I'll end up screwing a mount to this board and hopefully picking up a different board in the future too, but for now I'll share with you what I recorded. I can't wait to mount the GoPro and have some fun with a shorter board here.

I also used the opportunity to sport my Goldmoney shirt from @goldmatters in public a bit. I guess it made it into the video too, so more people will see it. Anyway, I'm still working on recording and editing and playing around with things, so here's what I came up with this time! Enjoy.

a very good fight @papa-pepper, and good skill.

HA! I thought you were cruising at a nice speed... then I see the kid blowing by on foot! Thanks for the laugh!

Yeah, from that perspective it looks much faster!

Had me fooled! It was playing tricks with my eyes I guess. I hope it felt good to get out there again. There are a lot of things I still like to do that connect me back to the old days. Makes a guy feel young again.

I fell hard a while back on my skateboard and have a scar on my left forearm since almost a decade now, then my friend borrowed it and fell as it rolled into train tracks and it got ran over by a train. lol No more skateboarding for me but I do miss it. nice video bro, stay safe lol

Madison Wisconsin watch out for low flying airplanes and 31 miles north of the village of Albany Wisconsin. I have been to Madison Wisconsin many times.

Albany, huh! Small world!

I lived in Albany until I was 11 years old. I still have family there.

Nice post friend

Nice job!

Nice gopro video! Looks like a great place to SK8!

Nice board Bro! Happy New Year!

ah man i miss my longboard! .... soon :)

You really liked that water didn't you, @papa-pepper? Poor Monster Truck Pepper got his excise running after you. He must have been exhausted on the ride home! I liked the video using the go-pro. My son has his Christmas one charging up now. I hope he doesn't decide to skateboard with it! That's the mama in me talking!

When I was a teenager, i was the mortal enemy of all skateboarders...I was a

rollerblader!

If I tried to do that now I would break a hip!

you have inspired me to go out and be a skateboarder now, yeah right, lol i will stick to baking
