Masters 45+ (602 Posts) Topic Info Slowing down On 2/12/2007 Kludy wrote in from United States  (216.70.nnn.nnn) Thank you,I am forced to step back and slow down my life completly. My feeling was slalom would be perfect for me at this time in my life and I am finding unlike downhill I have to ride the skateboard, not just (stand-up) on it. Slalom is where I am lead right now, will need to heal and start alot slower but will be setting cones up every week end now instead of driving hrs to bomb a hill.I have the board now and helmet, the only thing left is the pads.Looking forward to getting the hang of it.     Rate post 266154 !

On 2/12/2007 Kludy wrote in from United States  (216.70.nnn.nnn) I was thinking this past weekend that if I was to go to Texas for a new sport that I should get in shape and learn how to do it. Have not done much of anything in over 5 months so sat. I was running by my house and came off the new slalom board and turned my ankle and whent straght to my hands. Spraned my left ankle and right hand, then the dumby that I am started working out hard and straned my chest and back.I can only smile every time I move or walk thinking to myself, what a dumby! Are we not suppose to get smarter with age ? I was trying way to hard.     Rate post 266128 !

Tried of dealing with young bucks wanting to win and cant ride, I LOVE THEM ALL AND TEACH WHAT i KNOW BUT THEY SCARE THE HiLL OUT OF ME. Ha, ha! Got to get over that I know but for now just want to ride my skateboard with people that has seen as much as myself.I am back and forth with this e-vent. Never traveled to a slalom race , alot of money and dont know if I can even compete. With the cones that is ! Its funny, never thought about my age untill I saw my kids growing into adults over nite and my love for them really showed me my real age.

Just some guy who is 46 yrs old and stills loves to skate. Am I all beat up body wise. Oh Yea. I still smile after a slalom or bombing session. I may wake up in the morning and my feet hurt, but I go out and do it again. Why because I love to skate, not at the level of some of the top riders, but I am there. Riding scared when you are hauling ass down a hill still scares me, but it still lets me know that I am alive. Your Amgo Eddy Texas Outlaws/Team Pavel     Rate post 265828 !

I saw you at the pump station a few week ends ago and you where so smart to have all the right pads. I asked you about them and you told me if you could get more pads on you would. Thats safe clean fun right there. Look forward to doing slalom again, the older I get the more I look at slalom. 1st run at the Dump road Outlaw race I had to come out of tuck, way fast and scared the crap out of me. I was thinking too much at the start of the day. You should go to the L.a. race next week end and ck out downhill     Rate post 265610 !
