Props to the fellas in this thread that picked up skating post 20. That’s dedication.
I will sometimes see older guys learning to skate at the skater park, and while I am 100% friendly and encouraging, I always think “god, it would really suck to not know how to skate.”
Yeah, it’s basically hard mode lol. Can be extremely discouraging. Especially when you hear a 26 year old say, “I’ve been skating for 20 years” 😂
I’ll never be a great skateboarder, but I can get good lol
I see a lot of old dudes going straight to transition, but I agree with Daewon Song (at the 5:09 mark). Shit seems WAY more dangerous than “simple” street stuff lol
One of my strategies is to not spread myself too thin. So I’ll be sticking with flat ground for a minute. Still have years of progression ahead of me 😌
