Date: February 5th, 2026 7:03 PM Author: 180 Sound Barrier Plaza I saw a video of this 12yo absolutely shredding and i think it looks cool and fun as hell. I love skiing and this seems like a close substitute. Everyone says golf but i always get tired of it after 4 holes and I also suck at it.
Will I be shunned and hated and have trouble with the law if I skateboard around? Is it deeply pathetic? Or is it cool and won't be a big deal if i mention at a party that I skate. |

Date: February 5th, 2026 10:06 PM Author: 180 Sound Barrier Plaza are you OPEN about this with your FRIENDS and COLLEAGUES and WIFE? how does it go when u break the news? I have been to the skatepark a couple times and it's mainly little kids on scooters with their parents (parents are usually my age), degenerate highschoolers smoking weed, and some older guys who appear to be nearly homeless (usu the best skaters). I prefer to go to the local community college to try to ollie over cracks in the sidewalk and practice shuvits (I get them like 30% of the time) (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5831480&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310844#49649989) |

Date: February 5th, 2026 11:11 PM Author: beady-eyed bright piazza sweet tailpipe I’m at a V10 and tons of guys in my practice group still skate and skate hard. A bunch of us will do it together to blow off steam during a big case; there’s a skate park a couple blocks from the office. Sometimes we’ll see lawyers from other firms there too especially on Fridays so I know it’s not just us.

Date: February 6th, 2026 12:49 PM Author: Vigorous beta national mother One thing about skate parks a lot of people dont realize is most of them don't expressly forbid cars. When I'm on business with a rental car I'll drive it in the local skate park over jumps and stuff, it's a ton of fun and a lot less physically risky (fucks up the car usually though) (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5831480&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310844#49650957) |
