Warming up.

[Joe Riley]

I do before comps and big seshes but if I'm just chillin' at a local then I don't really warm up or stretch just because it's usually a chill sesh.

Everything seems to be about park so far - any street?

I always spend time getting warm and stretching before trying stuff, and i highly recommend it to anyone that doesn't.You are going to do loads for your muscles and tendons by warming up and getting them stretched before you eat shit and rip something... im sure kobe doesnt go on the court without warming up.. haha.

 

[TomGeorge]

I think I'm gonna start stretching, my body is always sooo fucked up after a long session. Is there any way to stretch your back so it won't hurt as much when riding? I have a really bad back

Get taller bars?

 

[Arnor Smari]

Get taller bars?

I might but Idk if that's the problem really

 

[TheObserver]

I warm up on my little pyramid, doing small stuff, whip bars And such.

 

[TomGeorge]

Lol whip bars don't feel small for me whips do and bars do but not together, see what you mean though.

 

[TheObserver]

HahA, that's about it though, I love whip bar combos

 

[TomGeorge]

Yeah. I can rotorwhip every try flat, and I'm slowly getting whip bars.

there's no such thing as "warming up"
people just say they're "warming up" so that they have an excuse to make people think they aren't pulling out their best tricks; when really they are. they want to impress people. i mean i guess i ride around for a little but i never really ride to do tricks at the skatepark anyway

 

[TomGeorge]

I see your point if you were new at a park or saw skaters at a spot, but most of the time I warm up when I'm alone waiting for others. I find when I'm with others I naturally warm up faster anyway.

Understandable; it's the same with me actually haha.

wat? riding scooters is physical activity. for most physical activities you're supposed to warm up by stretching and doing light exercise. i know what you mean by people doing their best tricks but there is definitely such a thing as warming up.

i warm up mostly just by riding to the spot and popping a few flat tricks or riding a park first and just cruising.

I know what you mean and I agree 100%
I'm not saying most riders do this but in my experience at my local park, apparently they're warming up the whole entire time they're there.

 

[Madis]

In some rare occasions i've pulled backflips only because i could say my warmup trick is a flip, as a joke. But yea, mostly flowing around lightly.

 

[TomGeorge]

Haha! Sounds pretty fun to see people's faces
