Bails and baby Grinds at Ramp World.  That's cool, I've been thinking of getting back into skateboarding but the whole age thing has been creeping in my mind. I've seen those Penny boards are selling cheap atm too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen those Penny boards are selling cheap atm too. I'm 38 in a couple of months and I have been skating off and on the past couple of years. If the weather is good on a Saturday or Sunday morning I go to the local skate park at 7 in the morning. I find if I go there in the afternoon it's full of little kids on scooters. Most of the penny boards are fairly terrible, because the trucks are plastic and the bearings are cheap. You're better off getting a decent complete set-up or buying the bits and putting your own together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I just did a full wash with a dishwasher tablet instead of a laundry one. How's your Thursday going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midlife crisis maybe?  Anyways, I went to the local skate park last Friday and ran into 2 lads in their 30's who had gotten back into it recently too. We had a bit of a chat and skated for about an hour. It was great fun meeting some new people are talking a little shop. Edited May 24, 2018 by Silky Kisser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See I thought that too, I was thinking of building one using a Habitat x Twin Peaks deck but these Penny Nickel boards are £35 down from over 100 and will do me for the casual cruise and the odd attempt at a trick (oo err). My midlife crisis began a couple years back when I started wearing Docs again and looking like a This Is England reject crossed with a black metal fan, this is just a continuation.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the other absolute bell ends that live with me put all the loose dishwasher tablets in an empty laundry tablet packet. Luckily, the plastic coating (packet?) of the tablet didn't break so it wasn't too bad, otherwise as @PunkStep said, they'd have been gleaming with with a shiny FINISH... Let's see what joys Friday brings... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not great for doing tricks on though, due to the shape of them. The combination of their width, no nose and lack of a concave make them very difficult to do anything with.

Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted May 25, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted May 25, 2018 I was in the office kitchen making coffee earlier and some guy was on the phone to someone else talking about "gold painted midgets". So, when I went back into our offices, I asked who works in the office next to the kitchen and it turns out its Beardyman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Just had this from the girls school and cannot stop thinking of the Brass Eye episode on drugs Dear Parents/ Carers We have been made aware that cake was being offered to children in the playground after school (not as part of the cake sale where parents buy cakes for their children) As a number of our children suffer from severe food allergies, we need to emphasise that cakes or sweets are not to be distributed to children in the playground.
