What were you trying to do tricks over it?
Put down the bong, you are never gonna make it

the ramp makes an excellent assembly area!

If you drop a bolt does it do a 720 with a kick flip?

He found his old bong, and one hitter, decided to put them and the board back to use. He frequents sausage houses too

Short story:

* last few years my friends had showed me hunting pheasants with dogs was really fun

*get dumb lucky and Royce the poodle gets good enough at it for he/I to enjoy slough hunting together late season

*end of last winter pheasant closes - I had gotten to best shape in a loooong time tromping sloughs

*thought to myself "how to keep this new physical condition intact? HATE treadmills etc... how?!!!

*recalled loving skateboarding in the 70s, did 360s, handstands, etc. back in 70s but never mastered "transition" (ramps, pipes, etc.)

*decided that was how I would do it - skate the skatepark in Fargo almost every morning all last spring/summer/fall

*late fall the cold weather came - skating in 30 degree weather sucked - decided I needed to start working on a mini-ramp

*spent about a month building one (October/November?) in modules in my garage - hauled modules to my small biz - finished it up there

*have skated almost every morning since, lost 15 lbs, blood pressure fell, feel great, having an absolute ball

*it never gets old because there's always the next level of trick to work toward

*this should keep up for years barring unforeseen health BS and/or crippling injury (I wear every pad/safety stuff imaginable)

speaking of which - is there still an over-fifty softball league going in Fargo?

ok, wait a minute. this is a real thing? I always figured when people were making skate board comments it was an inside joke. Then when I saw the pic of the ice house on the ramp I figured you photo shopped it. You really skate board?!?

Not my thing but kudos for staying active. I think you have about 15 years on me but I can probably guarantee you are in better shape. Maybe I should take up skate boarding...

 

[guywhofishes]

yes - it's really a thing ha ha

this photo was monkeying around during a business headhshots session - you should always wear all safety gear



I would happily share all my advice/experiences/miniramp design experience with anyone interested

I am so glad I re-found it - treadmills, running, etc. are the worst

p.s. I fall every few days - that part sucks balls but I'm getting to the point where it makes me angry and I just get up and skate harder - a necessary attitude in this hobby

Why fly a kite when you can just pop a pill?

Thanks! i've been told a few times it was real. but, with so many threads on this site to be skeptical of the and the complete ludicrousness of the idea of that guywhohatesstonedsausageservers is actually an old skateboarder from the 70s, i was in the same boat as jigaman and not quite a believer just yet. badass! and you are right... running sucks. i started last week as part of my weight loss regimen. not fun. and hard on the body imho.

I have found it to be quite easy to accept my fatness, and its takes little to no time maintaining this love machine.

mrs johnr is lean and mean, so it is up to me to be the big one.

weight and crappy condition really starts f'ing you past 50 - you will start wanting to lay around perhaps - it did me a bit

and guys like us who have put in our time slaving deserve to be energetic when we can finally acquire toys and the TIME to get out

I still hate stoned guys who can't do their job.
