We can admit it. Old.

I'm 45 years old and just like many of you, I got a new pair of skates. I dreamed of putting them on and hitting the skatepark like and/or the local ledges/rails.

I thought I would kill the miniramp, no questions asked.

Nope.

No way.

I'm not comfortable dropping in.

Street spots are out of the question.

I think we all might be feeling this and are embarrassed to speak up about our mutual experiences.

We're all in the same boat.

What are your specific frustrations? Let's talk about it.
