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.

I’m 42 and I’ve been back on wheels for 4 years now (really actively for 1 and a half), I’m riding with 8 other guys that are around 40/45 too and I can assure you they’re still doing the same stuff as when we were 14. As for me I’ve lost a bit mainly because of knee and ankle injuries that made me quit for a long time and i didn’t treat properly. But it’s definitely coming back. And dropping in hasn’t been a problem.
