🤔Are you too old to skate? Why I skateboard as an older adult & how to keep skateboarding forever!

#genx #skateordie #oldschoolskateboarding It's crazy to think I'm an over 50 year old Gen Xer and I started skateboarding again! If you would have told me that last year I would have just laughed! It's been very difficult for me to get back into it. Anything worth doing won't be easy. If I can do it so can you!
Let me show you how...😤❤️🛹

I'm so GRATEFUL ☺️ for all of you that have been subscribing it's been 1,400+ of you awesome people within these last 6 months! 🤯 I'm really blown away by the support and love and thank you all for taking a chance on me! So much more content on the way and I really want this to be a sharing and supportive community. KEEP SHREDDING!!! ❤️ 🛹🔥🤟

Welcome to my journey It hasn't been easy and life has a way of getting in the way. But I pushed through all the BS and shed 60 pounds and have been progressing at a steady rate. I'm so excited to take you all along on this journey and I hope it inspires you to get back on your board. Please join me, like, subscribe and stay tuned for more skateboarding! It's been a long time off the board and I just wanted to share my experience for anyone looking to get back into skateboarding or even if you're new to it. I've missed skateboarding so much and after weight gain among other life issues skating just took a far back seat. I'm happy to be back and I'm not going anywhere...UNTIL THE WHEELS FALL OFF! 🔥🛹🤘

I haven't been on a board in at least 20 years, then one day the YT algorithm snuck a few skate videos into my feed and I watched it. So many memories came flooding in of 'the old days', which was nice, but I went on my way. Then about a week later it happened again and this time it struck a nerve. So much that I've started browsing for more content and about 2 weeks ago, I order a deck, then truck and hardware, wheels, etc. Now I have a complete and am currently trying to work it into my schedule. Being older has me thinking about things in my life I 'will have' to change, diet and exercise, etc; but I know in the end it'll all be worth it. Glad YT helped to find this video, just to give me so extra motivation and determination that I'm doing something good. Not just for me, but my loved ones too. Keep Shredding.!!!!

Im 45 and just started skating again after 20 + years. It was a little odd feeling skating again. Mostly started in a dark parking lot with no one around.
However the more I skated the more I wanted to and the less I cared about what people might think.
Idk where it came from, but something sparked my interest in skating again and it definately one of the best things in my life right now.

I still remember my dad, when i was teenager skating around our driveway, saying how much he wished he could learn how to skateboard...he was about 50...i def took it to heart...now i'm 47 and don't plan on ever stopping

[VintageSk]

Absolutely anyone can Skateboard at any age and your right it doesn’t matter what anyone says as long as you are having fun that’s all that matters! Keep shredding brother!

[anonymoustirtle]

I started again on my 45th birthday. The first month or so was really hard, but it is very rewarding. Thanks for the video, it helps to hear other older skaters stories

[joppemin]

remember seeing a 50+ year old guy going to his office job on a skateboard and it made me motivated to try again.

[JohnAnderson]

53 - Skater ! He's right - go skating, do what you can do, moving on a board is great fun and so rewarding

[ReadOrwell]

This is the best video on YouTube. Real inspiration, no fake nonsense.

I'm in my late 30's, started 6 weeks ago. I met a 55 year old yesterday that started 3 years ago. He was rippin' and I thought he was a lifer at first.

[StuffnThings]

Yes dude! You’re never too old and it’s never too late to skate. Let’s keep crushing it. 👊👍

[kyddshine]

Kinda never stopped now 41 years at it now, standing at 48 years young. Greatest gift my dad gave me was himself, time, his character, and a Nash skateboard!! Keep it up brother! Never grow up, skate or die. To all those wanting to get at again past forty! Don’t hesitate!

[nonoblitus]

Great message and 100 percent agree. 52 here and still at it, If you love it don’t stop

[Loogeisareallycoolguy]

Sooo interesting to learn how age impacts skateboarding it’s an aspect I would have never thought of had it been for this yt channel. Keep up the awesome videos dude 🤙

My kids found my old skateboard and loved their first day out. Im 40. Im concerned (hence, finding this video), but encouraged. Thank you!!

[pawpaw]

I love skateboarding! Its been 3 yrs now since i started from scratch. I love cruising around initially, but now, i just learned how to kickflip better

[korosuchimu]

Brother I haven't ever had someone tell me not to skate. I haven't ever had anyone tell me I shouldn't do anything. Or maybe I wasn't ever listening. ✌️Scott keep ripping Brother

[GreybeardSkates]

Great video! I'm 53. My biggest concern is just not getting hurt. Nothing worse than the "I told you so" from the people that tell you're too old. Just got to be careful. But I definitely got the fever back, especially seeing all the og guys getting back into it.

[lfranko]

Stopped skating at 28 after 15 years. I'm 42 now and just today received my new skateboard in the post. Really looking forward to getting back out there.
