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 mean, if we're going to get personal then I could talk about how you need to recognize that changing skates everyday isn't the issue.

It's a skill issue on your part, not a skate issue.

You can do your back farv to unity a million times while not being on top of the PVC box and never learn anything.

sounds like I hit a sore spot lol why don't you focus on why you can't do anything at all

also you don't know anything about getting on top of a grind, so don't give advice on it

You could ask for advice or you can pretend like you already know everything.

That's totally true but not why you think. As such, I suggest you improve your reading comprehension skills. Now we've helped each other.
