    Keep it up! You are inspiring us elders. I'm glad you're still using the salba vx, I have the same one with 58mm 93a dragon rat bones and it's fun

    Dude I was totally just looking at 93a last night. Either the nano cubes or the dragon wheels or spitfires. Not sure which though. Or maybe all!

    Hey what caused you to need multiple knee surgeries? Was it from skating?

    @@StevesSkateExplosion Only my first ACL (left knee) was from being a young, dumb skater. I hucked myself down stairs, my knee popped, and I was too scared to tell my parents, so I rode the pain out for 2 years, which made it worse until I got it repaired. The second ACL tear (right knee) was from a military incident in mountainous terrain. The third ACL tear, along with lateral and medial meniscus tears (right knee), occurred during another military incident while coming out of a helicopter. Then, the big one: ACL, MCL, medial tear, and tibial fracture (left knee), again military-related. I think after 15 years of service, my body was failing due to improper recovery times and inadequate rehabilitation. I've been out of the military for about 4/5 years now and i'm taking better care of my body and re-rehabilitating my injuries, which has allowed me to start skating again. Keeping the knees supporting group healthy will definitely reduce the likely hood of any of the knee injuries I mentioned. (Hamstrings, quads, IT bands, Hip Flexors, Calfs ect ect). No fancy gym stuff...just at some home body weight things. Long response 😂 I'm a talker

    ​@@StevesSkateExplosion The street skating has been a lot harder since theres a lot more mobility and squatting motions. My back leg which has the most damage has been the one to lag behind. But as far as pain or weird nuisances, nothing really yet.

    Do you think the skating helps build you back to being totally strong again? Or does skating make it worse?

    I can go out and skate 10 miles in 2-3 hours going from spot to spot, but realized recently I've reached the point of diminished returns and need to focus on shorter & more intense sessions now that cardio & conditioning are in place.

    your going to increase stamina lol . i dont know if you remember back last summer when i was making fun of you and saying you had white man itis? i was saying to throw those arms up ? your doing it now, if you would only learn to tuck into your drop in now. just squat down on your board before you lean forward to drop in and it will shoot you out of that first transition like a rocket because you will get that perfect pump. it kind of spring loads your legs. i take that back your form is good there
