Sk8Daddies provides skateboarding tutorials tailored specifically for adults. We are helping to change the perception of skateboarding from that of a dangerous activity for rebellious youths to a healthy form of commute and recreation suitable for all ages.

Hey! I made this video with Keith to help make skateboarding and longboarding more accessible, especially for adults. People often dismiss skateboarding as this dangerous activity for delinquent kids when in fact it's one of the most lightweight and portable forms of transportation. If you ever wanted to get into skateboarding or longboarding, I hope these videos help you out! The new channel: www.youtube.com/@sk8daddies/

Love this because it's a reminder that no matter what age you are you should be open to trying new things and learning.

58 and just started skating again. Grew up in So California in the 70s and 80s and was really into it when I was a kid. Jumped on a friends long board the other day and was like, damn. This is so cool, but I don't remember the board being so, "oops, i'm out of here" and fly out from underneath me. But keeping it up. Great video

[@zhukie]

Same! Restarting at 57 after about 20-whatever years...but normal board not longboard. Maybe I'll finally get ollies this time lol

[@VirIIx]

I loved this! There's hope for us oldies out there 😅

[@nicolettanicol9558]

That was the most entertaining and helpful video i ve ever seen about skateboarding for adults. I guess i got a new favourite chanel😉👌😊😎

[@jacqueline.keeley]

Awesome! This is perfect for me - I use an electric skateboard to commute but am very mediocre on a regular board and would like to be better. Looking forward to the next video on the new channel!

[@eBoard3R]

*Great collab!* 🤙🏼👌🏼👌🏼🤙🏼 More collabs with Keith!! I was reminded of "wax on, wax off daniel san" where Keith kept sayin "Bolts on, bolts off". Jumpin backwards is scary 😭 I can be a little clumsy sometimes 😂 Really enjoyed this one 👏🏼👏🏼

[@RageStudios]

haven't Keith in a while, welcome back to China master!

[@Stanislasz]

Great tips! I remember that day when you were brainstorming this idea with Keith, it was a fun experience to learn all of these tricks with him!

[@LarsLarsen77]

You should go ahead and learn both goofy and regular. It's not like a snowboard where you need to mount your bindings one way or the other. You can just switch. Also, you wanna learn goofy so when you're riding in traffic you don't have your back to the cars (you can't see them.)

[@pandrews01]

Great Video!! It's never to late to try or do something you've never done before.

[@pjortmaszyna]

I think skateboarding is actually a great hip mobility and hip muscle excersise and more if you do it properly and don't fall like an idiot. Now we know how to begin. I like this vid.

[@spectre_esk8]

Love this! I keep one handy. This makes me wanna actually ride it again

[@TheVeganarchism]

5:30 This seems like a great way to have the board shoot out sideways from under you, which has happened to every person who ever tried to stand on my stationary board. Why not just teach people to push and hop on? Way easier, more stable and actually useful!

[@Ktronic5]

Haha as soon as I saw the two of you I knew this was going to be gold

[@CrimsonRegalia]

I love that being cool is an important part of the lecture 😂

[@Busywave]

Very good stuff. Thanks so much

[@tommottp]

Great video, really helpful for the older generation. Must Keith reminds me of that Calvin klein model back in 2013?

[@JeremyToh]

Didn’t know Dan has become a daddy. Congratulations!

[@baileepeterson8412]

Are you the guy that’s from turn down for what?

[@esk8jaimes]

Griptape against your shirt is a bad idea, lotta shirts got torn this way... Wheels away from body.

😂that got damn intro!

[@aaronvu6292]

Look into a Surfskate if you are an older person: They're easier to ride, improve your agility, endurance, and fun.

[@Kleadsy]

I'm 19 am I old?

[@DanielKwan]

Yes. Start saving for retirement!

[@Devildog2049]

I'm 43 I just got back from the skatepark for the first time since skating in the 90s and let me say hitting my face against the concrete was not fun. 😂 So I Google: How old is too old to go skateboarding this is the first video that popped up. 🛹🛹🛹
