R.E.D. Initiative 2021 - Ride.Every.Day

Nah man, esk8 is basically couch surfing. :kissing_heart:

Just push through the pain. Or pull over and do some stretches every 15 until you start to push your endurance up. I can ride for about 45-60 minutes of hard carving before I my ankles/calves/knees/thighs/core is on fire, but thats after 2 years of near-daily riding & conditioning on these.

Nice.

Yeah, treating this the usual way. Pain is weakness leaving the body.

on pneummies I can easily get in an hour+ before I feel a need to pull over and inhale my meds…

on 'thane I’m like pulling over every 20 -30 mins…

Due to the constant force of acceleration pushing my rear foot into the deck/binding, my stump gets numb and painful pretty quick like only 5 miles into a ride. Usually I’ll just push through it until it get’s annoying enough to do something about. I counteract this by not going full pelt all the time and occasionally coasting and squatting. The latter is shit for staying on the board easily but almost completely removes the force from my stump so I’ll do that when it get’s really bad. Stopping is good but i came here to skate, not loiter.

Nothing wrong with stretching a little during a ride…

Diamond Head hololo today, nothing remarkable other than the volume of kooks taking advantage of the holiday and little south swell. NeoBoxV6 and Herringbone Gears also kept up nicely.

Went on a family ride. It was a glorious evening in the PNW. My 9 year old daughter is the only one that doesn’t ride. Still working on her…

Well … not every day … but I try to ride a few times a week to keep me sane :wink: this is how #covid19 period looks like in my surroundings. Not much peeps outside but we still get out to take a breath of fresh air and we see family outside with 2 meters distance between us.

Another meh run tonight, but better than nothing. My odd stuttering issue continues, and I shake my fist in fury at the gods.

Try not spreading out so much. As in move your rear foot forward, ride the front 3/4s of the deck.

It’ll feel weird for a bit but as you get used to it you find yourself moving your weight forward giving you better turns and less muscle lock in the back.
