I built this Kink SXTN up about 8 years ago, and pretty much stopped riding about a year later. I'm old (turned 43 this year), got married, had a kid, and all my riding buddies moved away… not to mention, the nearest decent skateparks were 1.5-2 hours away. I just lost the motivation to ride, but couldn't bring myself to sell my bike.
After lurking this sub the last few months, I've gotten the itch to ride again, so I got it cleaned up and ready to roll. Some new skateparks have opened nearby, so I'm stoked to see what they have to offer. The only one around when I stopped riding was a skate plaza with zero flow to it.
Thanks to everyone posting their setups and questions here for motivating me to get back on my bike!
