  • Got some good grinds at Mooresville, though it was a really painful day after a couple of hard early slams on the ledges. My fail vs grind ratio was dismal. Even with the antirocker setup, I was not getting good foot placement on the ledges and suffered all day. Seth was really on fire today though, and got some good ones on various obstacles. Overall we had a blast though it was tempered a bit by pain!

    Buena, me inspiras mucho, tengo 43 años y estoy intentando grindar... Es difícil, pero tú ya lo vas dominando, si señor. Un saludo desde El Viso del Alcor, Sevilla, España. Nice job😅

    Y'all are both doing great! This stuff just takes time and, unfortunately, sometimes some painful falls. That crunchy little quarter Seth grinded is one of my favorite things to skate in the park.

      Thanks! I am having a really hard time transferring the PVC pipe p-rail sessions to the ledges at the parks and it really bummed me out this session. I can get my non-soul foot locked in the H-block so much better on the p-rail even using the flat setup and its really frustrating me at the parks on the ledges. I am trying to shift to a mizu stance as it's a lot easier on my hips and knee, but even harder to control that foot in back now. I have a new plan and as you said, it just takes time, I just have to survive it physically!

    You are an inspiration! In Roller Derby, on my team, we have a couple of older women. They are very strong! One just broke my ribs last week, so I know just how strong she is! You got so much more going on than these kids, and you've worked so hard. You deserve this.

      Thank you! I got mad respect for you Derby skaters, that looks like such a tough sport and doing it with any age on you has to be rough on the body. Glad to hear you have some older women hanging in there with you!

    Big Respect, it is not easy, I was thinking, I'm to old for tricks when I start aggressive skate at 35
    Age is just a number and you are the prof
    Also I struggle for 1 year already to do a decent grind

      I have to be honest and say the grinds are really hurting me. I have severe arthritis in my right knee and the grinding is not good on that knee and I am rethinking grinds in general. I don't think age is so much a factor as just previous injury history. You are right about age being a number, though there are some things that do get much harder as you get older even if you don't have old injuries. Stay with it and try to avoid getting injured and it will come to you in its own time. Don't try to compare your progress with anyone else's, just have fun and enjoy the process!

      Now I switch from grinds to air out of ramps
      Aggressive inline skates give me a very good a relaxing time
      take care and have fun

    🔥🔥👍🏻👍🏻 you’re doing great. I’m 47 and started with aggressive skating last year. Your soulgrinds are longer than mine 👍🏻. Respect!🫡

      These grinds are not coming easy at the park especially on the higher ledge at our local park. Even these low ledges took it out of me. As I'm sure you know at 47, things don't come quite as easy as they used to!
