Guh it's been a few years since ive been able to go to a show and I already felt really really old last time.
I'm still gonna go, too, just accepting my fate like an elder viking warrior who never fell in battle
Last time I went into a big pit I dislocated my knee, hit the ground, popped that shit back in and hobbled my ass straight to the venues bar lmao
After getting tossed into that table I helped pick up the broken glasses and then got free drinks the rest of the night lol
fuck yeah 🤘
A good consensual mosh pit is a bit like doing karate in the overhead shore break waves. You are going to feel that in all kinds of weird places. Thoracic stabilizer muscles soreness is pretty glorious. It's just takes so much longer to spring back as you get older. I haven't been in a good pit in a few years, I think I'm about due for one soon.
Oh yeah it's real good training for what is coming. Good to know I still got it. Every able bodied comrade should go and get in the pit it will give you good practice.
Was kid rock there in the pit?
lol no, this show he would have got his ass beat for being a fascist.
I'd pay to see that.
I got thrown into a table and still stuck around and helped pick other folks up. Kid Rock would not have lasted through the first band.
Ha, I remember when I had to face that reality. It sucked. Still sucks. Not quite over it, but I have accepted it.
lol I realized it almost a decade ago but I still do it every time I get the chance.
Having soreness creep up like that and be worse 2-3 days after is the new hell I’ve discovered, no more ascent to recovery in a straight line
You gotta pick up skateboarding to condition your body
I skateboarded for 25 years. Do not fuck with skaters. We fight gravity and the earth for fun.
