Least not doing the crazier tricks saves your knees so you can still skate now? š my partner and a few of our friends who skate are āretiringā or feeling a bit deprived as their knees are wrecked so they canāt do a lot of the jumps or big landings or even slam down a ramp anymore.

Yeah, that's the thing - when I came up, street skating wasn't invented yet, so I never got into that. This saved my body, big-time. I think of street skating as "stunts". It's great to watch and I can admire their skill level, but I'm more into the speed and flow of skating a pool or bowl / skatepark and maybe once in awhile doing a trick.
You definitely sound like an oldschool surfer š
I actually don't really like skate parks (I don't like big ramps, too many memories of tumbling down steep hills where I grew up maybe š ) but there is something in finding lines through them. Iām too scared to do tricks now though šµ
Cruising is cool - I skate for the flow and rush feeling it gives me, not for the "performance" of it.
