In a few days we’ll learn if a fat old man can skate. I should delete my amazon account...

Amazon accounts are bad. Especially if you are fat. Sometimes you end up with 5 pounds of peach rings.

Longboard sounds sketchy. I hate the feeling of no brakes.

Amazon accounts are really bad. I just spend $100 on headphones with the hope that they are going to last (I did get the 3 year warranty for $10). I went through 8 pairs of cheap headphones in the last year and I use them constantly while working on classwork.

My dad did some longboarding in his early and mid 40s, so it is possible.

Hey! I've been looking at those on Amazon as well. Which one did you get?

I got this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00…

There’s no hills around me (Kansas), so I’ll probably just do laps around the park down the street. It’s something I’ve been curious to try for a while, and I stumbled on this great skateboarding youtube channel (Braille Skateboarding) that I’ve been watching all weekend which pushed me to look at buying one. Cheap + Discover cashback rewards redeemable on amazon = longboard at my door by Thursday.

I have only ordered something edible ONCE, and it was two cases of Surge. I still have another case, at the time it was supposed to be a limited run so I was going to sell the second, but now you can just buy it.

If it’s less than $20, I just buy it. If it’s $20-$50 I just buy it like 90% of the time. If it’s $50-$100 I buy it 50% of the time.

If it was at the store instead, or had paid shipping, I would buy everything 0% of the time.

I was going to buy a case, and then I went to a store and got a can for 50¢. I wish they would rerelease Vault.

Read that and thought you were talking about surfing at first, until you said “skate.” Then I remembered that you live approximately 72816295816959271959172849173 miles from the coast. :(

Wear gear, pls. Don't break any bones.

I love “stupid skate/you build it we skate it” I have no interest in actually skating but it’s fun to watch.

Been there. Not as painfully as you though.

A buddy has that board, it’s actually really really good for the price. I’d get an extra set of good bearings. I’m trying out the yellow jackets available on amazon, they’re really good. My wheels are much softer and stickier than friends (read: more drag, but better ride) and my board is still faster due to good bearings.
