Anyone like to get RAD in the midlands?

[BadMotivator]

As a sexy teenager I was mad on BMX. I hadn't riden in fifteen years but then I found that Unit3Sixty skatepark in Stourbridge does an over 30s night every other Tuesday. I've been going for about six months now and whilst my skills have long since vanished its a right laugh.

Whatever you ride: BMX, skateboard, inline, quad, scooter everyone is welcome. The session is really friendly and there is a really good range of skill levels from totally rad all the way down to absolute beginners. They even do lessons and some guys who had never skated before are now ripping after a few short weeks. (I on the other hand still totally suck ). Whatever, its really supportive and inclusive, and cos it's over 30s you don't have to worry about being laughed at by 10 year olds.

The park is awesome as well, there's a massive bowl, a little bowl and a street plaza, which is perfect for beginners.

So if you live in the midlands area, why not come down and relive your youth? It's only five quid for 2 hours 8pm to 10pm every other Tuesday.
I'm the berk on the white BMX who looks like he'd be more suited to knitting.

Here's a vid from the first session they held at the beginning of the year:

That looks well cool, would like to go to that. Same as you but skating, skated as a youth. I still skate on a cruiser but I haven't been on a ramp for 25 years. Just bought an old skool Hawk board too, will have to muster the nuts to get down my local park. Shame I'm daan south, looks like fun, and no egos

Ah that's a shame you're too far away, its a great session. It's mostly skaters, there are some really good ones too. Some dudes riding old school boards. I went down once and an old school skating Facebook group was having a meet. 40+ skaters of all ages all on retro boards. Some of them must have been pushing 60 years old. Made me realise I've got a few years left in me yet!

Here's the vid of the retro skateborading meet up. (You can just see me chilling on the deck by the capsule in the white helmet, realising I'd come on the wrong day :lol: ).
