Esk8 is a very new hobby for me… but my wife is used to it. Home theatre, home gym, photography, snowboarding, home automation, esk8… I always need to have a project I’m working on and they typically tend to be expensive

Well at least you ride with the Evolve crew down there. Their publicity gets them a few good looking lady riders interested . Especially that U.K. one 
maybe one day more will understand why we do this.
Is it just me or the word „HOBBY“ appears very often in this thread

I’m one lucky dude. After reading this thread, I feel even more lucky. Around the springtime this year, I asked her about the idea of me doing my first DIY build. She only had one condition: that I build her one too.
Great women do exist. Pic of our first ride together (for proof):

My GF is super chill and doesn’t mind, just hates when I fall and get scraped up. But she’s happy I’m happy.

first point is very important! if you need to balance out the costs you spend it´s getting really really expensive… shoes for new trucks…bag for new deck…iphone for new focbox…
last point…they all the same

Dude this describes my situation exactly. She calls them “Dork skateboard friends” 
This thread is really interesting, I was literally thinking about this last night before bed. I read here a lot that people’s other halves don’t know how much it all costs. I don’t actively hide the costs but I also don’t wake her up at 5am and say “Sup homegirl, last night I spent £700 on some experimental gear drives for my skateboard lolololololol want some tea?”
Only kidding, I say the last part.
