I think you're stuck seeing skate culture as some sort of 80s teen movie cool kid clique dude. Or you're just trolling. People skate well into their 30s, sometimes 40s, without going pro. It's a love you'll never know.

Yeah, every time I see the skate park around my disc golf course, they're all teenagers. All of them.

I can't tell if you're making a joke about being old and having to play discgolf -whatever that lameass sounding thing is- or if you're being serious. I feel like I've seen you mention discgolf before so that's not helping.

Either way man, peeps at the skateparks here in SF range usually teens-mid twenties but you get some old schoolers for sure. Across the street from me there's a skate house of an up and coming skate team, like 7 people in college who skate and then throw seemingly fancy dinner parties on nicer-weathered evenings.

Yeah, but you're in San Francisco, which isn't exactly a *cough* normal city.

The Batlord · 11-13-2014, 04:59 PM

Yeah, people in San Fransisco are freaks. And you'd love disc golf. You throw frisbees at goals and smoke weed/get wasted. It's the ultimate lazy, substance-abuser sport.

Not so much anymore man. It's kind of sad. Where once there stood a guy wearing a cat-in-the-hat-styled-hat, polka-dot button up, overalls, and chuck taylors trippin his balls off while staring at a fire hydrant there are now trend-hoping, culturally vacant or disingenuously aligned teens taking selfies in trendy attire laughing about how 'ghetto' they think they look.

Discgolf does actually sound pretty rad but I'd imagine accuracy would be hard to maintain while wasted. If anyone cared.

All it takes is like ten bucks for a disc and you're good. Private parks make you pay a small fee, but there are a lot of nice public courses, all of which are free. And the great thing about disc golf is that if you're too wasted to throw straight and end up way off the fairway, that just means you get some really whacky, fun throws. It's also easy to learn, so you won't be giving up out of frustration after ten minutes, but hard to master, so there's always a drive to improve.

Oh, and to any disc golfers on this site, the #1 rated course in the country, the Grange, in Spotsylvania, VA, is two hours from where I live. Three courses, fifty-four holes. So, one of these days, we need to meet up over there and have like a disc golf weekend.

I'd like to second disc golf as ****ing awesome. One of few hobbies I can engage in alone or with friends and be equally entertained.

This would be one great thing about having a car. Playing with friends is great, especially if you have a relatively small group (3-4), but I'd love to just be able to go up there by myself and zone out, throwing multiple discs each hole, not worrying about holding anybody else up. Bring a six-pack with me and just enjoy strolling around the scenery in solitude (my course is in the woods, and is literally bordering a marsh with holes where I actually have to throw over it).

Pet_Sounds · 11-13-2014, 09:06 PM

Batty, give me another five-ten years, until I own a car, and I'll totally come down to VA and go disc golfing with you. (most people up here call it frisbee golfing, BTW, which annoys me to no end.) Pick up Carpe en route. We'll make this happen. Summer of 2021 good with everyone?
