Don’t go to Zumiez. Find a local skateshop near you and go there instead.

This is either a great troll, or the beginning of a new SLAP reference.

Best of luck with it Dave!

There can be a lot of negativity on this forum, don't give too much of your energy to those posts.

I take back my comments. I thought you were playing us :o

Don’t listen to anything I said before… I was just giving terrible advice cause I thought you were trolling.

Have fun Dave :) that’s the most important part.
Thanks y’all. It’s been fun.

Dude's first foray into skating and he's already at the park, getting clips and posting up on slap.

Good shit!

If this is a troll, I will have to commend them because to post a YouTube video is above and beyond.

I believe in Dave.

2006 mail order setup with graphics out wheels, Bones Reds reference, "paddings" and general fell off the turnip truck vibes also reinforce this. If he posted on youtube random rodents and insects for years in preparation, this is the greatest troll in the making.

Kudos Dave.
Sir, I'm going to politely, but firmly, ask you and your common sense to leave this establishment.

Hey everyone. My name is Dave and I am 34 years old.

I just bought my first skateboard and have been practicing, I was traumatized yesterday after my first fall and it was really hard too. So I will have to wait to buy paddings, I already have a helmet from a buddy of mine.

This picture is before I used my skateboard of course, bought it from Sierra for 29.95 before taxes. I just went to Zumiez the other day to buy Bones Reds bearings because my friend suggested it.

ok, i thought you were trolling at first but now i believe you might actually be serious

if this is the case i will give you a tip: ride a bigger board. especially one with bigger, softer wheels.

when you're just getting started it's useful to get a setup where you can take one push and glide for a while. this enables you to actually learn rolling and turning, instead of limping and hopping around with one foot hanging off the back of the board all the time

As someone who started at 35 here’s my advice: Forget about tricks. Cruise around until it becomes second nature. Learn to throw down, how to push without putting your weight on the ground (balance on front foot), and how to properly stop.

Too many folks rush straight into tricks. You should fall in love with riding first IMHO.

And don’t get discouraged. When you see an amazing skater, it’s because they’ve spent years on their boards. Like the average 30 year old skater has been skating for 20 years. It’s not something that a lot of folks start later in life.
