serious...

I push both regs and switch to get where I am going.. I also do all varieties of ollies/nollies along with way.. so ollie, nollie, ss ollie, fakie ollie etc... If there is a mini around I'll have a roll where I basically go rock to fakie, fakie rock for 5 minutes just to get the blood pumping..

I have old battered legs so it takes me a good 20 mins to even feel like squatting and jumping around...

Elevens is spot on with the good nights sleep. Breakfast, lunch and dinner is a good idea too. I only ever used to eat dinner, but changed that habbit this year.

Banana and a chocolate bar when you're feelin low on energy. Banana is a slow release carb, so will give you a long boost. Chocolate is quick release, so will give you an initial burst.

Just do a few lines or skate for 5 or 10 minutes to warm up, then if you're inclined to do so, stretch. I should stretch, but I never do. Idiot! After that, Go off mate! haha..

I'm constantly stoked that at the age of 40 I can still skate and learn shit. If it wasn't for a bit of yoga and now I ride a bike around the bay run (good perv), I'd probably be an absolute wreck.

Have a fruit juice,listen to my favourite beats/watch a skate vid to the point where I can't stand watching It anymore because I am that amped for a roll! Then when I'm at the spot,a few stock standard stretches and some flat ground tricks/game of SKATE!

just roll around for 15 minutes and bust some high speed mannys and do the odd slash grind. and dont be the guy doing 5 minutes of rock fakie, fakie rock on the mini.

Hey Kid, I do it cause it pisses you and that Fat Rep off...

And even better, you guys leave rather than say anything cause you're all big pussies...

a good 10 minutes of complaining about how sore/stiff my legs are usually does the trick for me
FFetus18 Jan 2010

JJOHO18 Jan 2010
2 cones

A good skate video for sure and a red bull (because I cannot focus coffee)
Ggusthegremlinmaster18 Jan 2010
slayer is definitely a good option. maybe some nile too

I do some stretches...usually after I've hurt myself.

Then I sit down and heckle. I might yell at some kid on a scooter. Then I ogle the chick in the short shorts who came with her BMXer boyfriend.

Then I go home and complain about being sore.
