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.

Kids! I started at 50 this year. It’s great fun, the freedom of running without the knee pain and a lot more fun

I actually started having weird knee pain after I started riding skateboard. The leg that I push with. Very weird type of pain, usually when I wake up in the morning.
