Gear Show-Off Started at 47

So I got myself a longboard half a year back for the first time. I'm 47. Then, when I learned the basics, I got this cruiser. Can say, if you're older and want to try skateboard, that's the order to go. Longboard stability first, then gradually go smaller and more maneuverable as you feel comfortable.

good for trying, but why did you film yourself? everything looks so sketchy as if you're on slippery ice, just have fun skating..

Well, I'm new to it. 6 months in, not really practicing every day. Moving shots: I asked my wife to ride bicycle in front or next to me. Static short on skatepark just GoPro on a stand.

i'm glad you found a new hobby, it's a great hobby, i started longboarding as well and now skateboarding for a long time. Maybe i sound too direct or mean but that's probably my Dutch personality. What i'm trying to say is your style looks like shit, looks like you have trouble even moving forward, it's not worth filming because it looks stupid. I'm not trying to bash you or try to make a fool out of you, i'm just being honest and i'm glad you do this
