It goes: “I’m not getting it done, but I’m having fun.” It’s a song about having fun and persistence, even when things aren’t quite going your way. Some might call them joyful strains. #day6 #learningthroughplay #learningspaces #practiseinpublic #skateboarding A video posted by Repurposed Ruin (@repurposed_ruin) on Aug 27, 2016 at 2:19am PDT

You have to have feedback as quickly as possible. 10,000 hours with a teacher, with constant feedback, is critical. What better feedback than skateboarding? You skate, you make a mistake, you fall, you bleed. Repeat. If you don’t get better, you break bones and have to stop. If you learn from your mistakes with the […]

When time for skating is limited, simply pushing like a maniac and roaring down the road can sometimes be just enough to see you through. A photo posted by Repurposed Ruin (@repurposed_ruin) on Mar 13, 2016 at 1:25am PST

My ledge survived four weeks in the suburban wilderness.

So happy. My little #diyskate ledge has survived two weeks in the suburban wilderness. Even better, it looks like it’s being used by unseen local skaters. A photo posted by Repurposed Ruin (@repurposed_ruin) on Feb 5, 2016 at 1:49pm PST
I built a ledge to create my own skate spot. A spot that’s far away from the broken beer bottles, empty pizza boxes, assorted rubbish, blood, weirdos, police tape and everything else that gets in the way of skating the local council skate parks. I’m not sure how long my ledge will last, but I’m going to […]

After an additional five days roaming in the wilderness of the city, my #streetplantbrand 9.5″ mammoth finally set its shaggy set of fine phalanges on my front door. So good. âš¡?âš¡ A photo posted by Repurposed Ruin (@repurposed_ruin) on Jan 8, 2016 at 1:45am PST
I’ve been inspired by The Build Project and the Cinder Block Ledge by DIY Skate to build a ledge in the stormwater-run-off-turned-bike track (a place I call The Ditch) of a nearby suburb. This blog post documents the process of building my DIY ledge at The Ditch – from inception to implementation. The ditch A photo posted […]
Practising pushing and riding switch.
I have driven past this stepped ledge thousands of times. Located in a light-industrial area of a nearby suburb, the ledge can be seen nestled amongst factories that never seem to close. That’s always made it difficult to find a time to attempt skate the ledge. I hadn’t noticed the addition of the barriers until […]
