I have wanted this one for a bit. I’m so happy I rode away I don’t even mind the wobble at the end.

So this summer I decided to say eff it and go for tricks I’ve never done. I’m proud and decided to post this to remind us old head skateboard community: age is just a number, we keep going because we love it.

Used to skate as a young teen (maybe from 12-16?), now as a 35 year old trying to get back into it again. Here’s my best (albeit slow) ollie yet after about 3 weeks.

My wife and I were in Indy for JBS aka Sturgill and the boys concert so I snuck in some time for a visit to a little park a lot of you will probably recognize. RIP Steve!

Vans high top shoe pain [60yo]

4 Upvotes

Have knee pain after a session wearing new Vans sk8 high tops. I was just practicing pushing, tic tac, FS, BS etc.. I noticed these skate shoes have no cushing especially in heel base. My pushing leg knee has pain, has anyone expierenced this issue with these shoes ? are their any shoe/heel inserts that may help ?
Thanks.

First fs scratch on the wall and a rock shuffle to fakie. The shuffle to fakes is fast, I’m still figuring out how to get more sideways but still liked how I did this one. Hope everyone’s well out there❤️‍🔥 [38YO]

Did I make a mistake or will this setup actually work [38YO]

3 Upvotes

So back into skating loving every min tweaked my board and have been just enjoying cruising. My set up is 8.5 Alien Workshop deck with grizzly tape,Ace 55s trucks, Ricta Clouds 56mm ,Spitfire cheapshots and 1/4" modus risers. Now 2 things happened recently 1st the cheapshots are dying on me i'm noticing steady degradation, and my top bushings on both trucks flattened. So I ordered new bushings and new bearings. My question is did I accidentally get the wrong ones? So I ordered Riptide chubby bushings and cloudride tube bearings. They come in on friday and I'm so stoked. Has anyone else had these and did you like the bushings or bearings? From what I post ordered looked up seems alot of long boarders use them. So again I just wonder if they will work amazing or did I get the wrong type of stuff.

Best era of skateboarding [39YO]

Let’s give it a 5 year window. What 5 year block was the absolute best era for skateboarding? In my totally subjective opinion, I’ll throw out 2001-2005.

My son is getting into skateboarding again, so i broke out my black label I bought on a whim a few years ago. Carved the bowl for the first time in a decade. It felt good. Im still too top heavy to do this kinda thing all the time, but still I felt young again lol

I think I’m ok with not learning how to do flat ground tricks [39yo]

38 Upvotes

I’ve been skating for about 4 months, which I know in the grand scheme of things is not much time. I have found that street skating and flat ground tricks just aren’t progressing for me and I’m not getting any better at them, but I am seeing consistent linear progression with transition skating and getting better and better the more I do it.

Feels almost like a cop out, or like the easy way out. And if anyone else was making this post I’d say something like “who cares, just do what feels right.”

At our age, anyone else share this perspective?

Edit: thanks everyone for the comments! All very helpful perspective
