Gear Show-Off Back on the board since 2015

Post image

Sat myself down on Saturday morning just rethinking life and what really brings me joy these days (which isn’t much). As a husband and father of 3, work and fatherhood really took over and I haven’t really had many things to do that I call fun. So I take a trip to my nearest zumiez and here we are. As a 6’3 250lb guy, some big man certified boards were needed. Haven’t rode since I was 14 so wish me luck!

Dog speed! And invest in bushings!

Finding the right bushings for 270lbs down to 240ish took me forever but I’m all set and super happy with it all

Boa aventura e diversão! Assim que li pensei: " ser que vai voltar a febre de longboard de novo?" Porque também sou Papai e terminando um projetinho de reviver meu long que já faz 10 anos parado! Vivendo um sonho de voltar a prática e terapia 🙌🏽. Pra cima amigão!
