I've started to move my body a little, so I'm going to re-examine my mental attitude and review points to note from an objective point of view. In my 50s, I skateboarded for my health. I was able to move my body as well as when I was younger, so I practiced my longing the ollie. I had a hard time because I didn't understand how the ollie's theory. Little by little, I learned to do it. As far as I know, I haven't seen anyone practicing the ollie since they were 50s. First of all, skateboarders in their 50s are rare.I don't think there are many people who master the ollie from the age of 50s. This experience in my 50s made me decide to try the unreasonable skateboard tricks in my 60s. I was able to get rid of the worries of aging and old age by wanting to skateboard tricks. So my goal in my 60s is to do skateboard tricks. The health purpose of the 50 s is the opposite. Skateboard tricks threaten my health. Ankles, knees and lower-back are under constant stress. I always risk hurting them. From now on, I will increase the difficulty of the tricks, so it's natural for me to fall, so I'll protect my head with my wrists, elbows, shoulders, etc., so there's always a risk of injury. I have no choice but to fight back with wisdom, stretching and muscle training. Well, if I can overcome it, I wonder if it can be said that it is a health purpose.
Compared to when I was in my 50s, I am overwhelmingly lacking in endurance and I get very tired. In order to reduce the burden on my body, I limit the amount of practice, but I actually don't have much energy left. I wonder if I'm under the all-out attack of aging. A fierce battle between anti-aging and aging will continue in my body to rejuvenate rather than maintain youth (because I'm trying to do skateboard tricks). Ideally, I'd like to be able to continue doing skateboard tricks as I age. But like I said before, I also have to be prepared for skateboard tricks to end in serious injury in no time. Somehow, if I continue practicing skateboard tricks days, I tend to underestimate the danger because of the illusion that it is a continuation of everyday life. I don't think it's too much to think that tighten. it's a serial of dangers at my age, so I think it's just right to tighten my mind. In Japan, there is an idiom called ichigo ichie. It means a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I have to do skateboard tricks with the feeling that this might be the last time. I just need to be prepared so that I won't have any regrets even if I can't do it anytime. So, the ultimate ideal is to be able to continue skateboarding tricks without getting injured and aging.
In my 50s, I was also skating in a switch stance. This time, I'm practicing the soccer bowl flip with my right foot, and my left foot is getting pretty good, so when I try to switch stance, I can't skate well at all. I wobble to the right or left when I push (put the front foot on the board and kick the back foot off the ground to propel the skateboard forward). I was in my 50s and was skating smoothly even in switch stance, so it was quite a shock. It's beginner level. I can't do this...
・・・・・The cruelty of the passage of time is deeply felt.
