    Default Making time to skateboard ?

    For those here who skate often how do you find time to fit some skating in almost everyday ? I'm finding it very hard finding time to skate lately with the weird hours I'm getting at work.

    it only takes an hour or two to get in a good sesh. To me its just as simple as walking out my house with my board and hitting over sewers and hoping i find a street spot. I skate at different times everyday somedays its early and somedays i cant go till 2am it don't matter

    I bring my board to work and skate before I start, during my breaks and during my lunch break. That way I get some kind of session in and after work I can focus on other things.

    I skate once a week, sometimes twice, for a few hours.

    You don't need to skate every day man.

    yeah with you working and i assume your friends also working different hours it can get rough but iv learnt to enjoy skating by myself which also makes the days with all your homies feel twice as good.

    Recently I've started skating at night more, there's this ledge spot in the city where it's always lit up, so yeah. Honestly, skating just 1-2 days a week is enough for me recently, I'd wanna skate more but I'm in a weird state recently.

    I can usually get at least an hour or so of skating in every day. On my days off I can skate a lot more. I work from 4am until noon depending on how much paperwork I have to do and how trashed the truck is at the end of my shift. I usually can come home, take a couple hour nap on the couch, eat and have a couple adult beverages and go skating for a few. I've always been good at time management. I don't have kids, I don't watch sports with the exception of baseball. I don't really watch movies or play video games and don't have many hobbies outside of riding my bicycles and skating. You don't have to make time, you just have to put it into your schedule.

    I have to skate when time allows and that's not always when I really feel like skating. But you can cut out a lot of computer/TV/video game time and find a good session in that. I get up a few hours earlier than I need to because that when I get a session in. I keep my board in the car so if I feel like hitting some curbs on the way home from work I can. Some of the best sessions have happened then, and the most fun.
