I thought I’d take the interest shown for lockdown sk8 therapy to it’s own topic.

Would be great to share sk8 stories of old (and new), music, boards, skateparks and such.

I’ll start with reposting this gem of a mix, all old 80s/90s skate video soundtracks and sound bites.

Better having a thread keeps everyone happy 
I only wish my old knees could keep skating 
Yeah the pain was unbearable for few weeks especially thighs and and when you fall at 50 yrs it’s not like falling at 20yrs… 
Thats my main problem. Various knee operations over the years has ruined me. Still worth it though!
Growing up in Glasgow, skating was a good antidote to the gang culture at the time. Hanging out with kids from different areas not the norm. It was also a good excuse to get out the city. There was a great skatepark in Livingston and we spent a lot of time through in Edinburgh. Usually Bristo Square.
A non violent, non tribal gang culture. Skating, music and getting stoned. Good times.
We used to get hassled by the local bell ends occasionally but by the time it got quite popular they wouldn’t dare come near 50-100 kids with wooden battering rams.
I did my right knee trying to do a 360 flip on a quarter pipe. Still sore to this day and makes a horrible crunching sound 
Love this video by Pontus Alv from Malmo. It’s 11yrs old the DIY skate park scene has always been around but these guys took it a step further and now all over the world there DIY park in some crazy places. Video and song go great together in ths…

My skate/surf hero, have met him a few times, hung out and surfed with him. They say never meet your heroes but you couldn’t wish to meet a nicer or more humble guy. Bit obsessed to be honest… he’s 70+ and still skating and surfs like a God, well he is. Skip Frye.
Top thread title btw… 
Yep. both my knees crunch. Got a bit over excited with running in the first lockdown which knackered the one good knee I had left.
The physio exercises I had to do for surgery recovery are the way forward. A pain in the arse but they really help.
Here we go!
May as well lop em off above knee and get
Some old footage from the Livingston skatepark
That bloke is amazing. probably got more upper body strength in his little finger than you have on those ickle biceps. 
I was told by a physio that I had the knees of an 80 year old, haha. I was 30 at the time. Pre covid, I used to do a lot of swimming, especially after work, which I also found good.
The Rom skatepark documentary on amazon is worth a watch
I think you had the same conversation with the physio that I had!
