Getting Back Into Skating at 30 Years Old...

[@midskateboarder]

the mad man did it i got back into it at 32, and i am better now than when i was a teenager, still learning new stuff

[@stokkejanraggio9091]

back at it at 33 34 ish. really focused on the basics. Now im getting my bag back. More control and more pop then when i was younger

[@midskateboarder]

@@stokkejanraggio9091 oh yeah, it definitely took time to ramp up. im about to be 34. my approach is just way better now, I agree that dialing in the basics is super important. gotta build that foundation

[@Flynnog]

Let’s go! I’m 33 and have skated on and off since high school. Get good enough and it’s like riding a bike! Be careful though lmao at our age recovering from falling or injuries takes a lot longer than our young fresh bodies. At least that’s been my experience 🤣

[@midskateboarder]

​@@Flynnog Hell yea man! I was definitely surprised that I could kickflip maybe like 4th try after not trying for 15 years. I wear protection and know my limits pretty well, which, knock on wood, has kept me pretty healthy. No need to look cool without protection, i'd rather stay on the board .

[@BinarySk8]

Well shit I got back into at 33 and now I’m 34. That’s crazy that we all got the same story fr

[@compton7833]

I just watched your part on P-Rods channel. You used to be one of the best skaters with one of the most unique styles for sure. Crazy late flip combos, Crazy ledge game, etc

[@coastal_chameleon4668]

He did tricks no one else was doing fr

[@steelokey]

Dude a video with you & Garrett is gonna be one of the best ways to start my day 😂😂

[@steelokey]

Damn this video got me excited. I’m 27 & im gonna start shredding again hella cause of you, John Hill, Jeff the homie, & Garrett Ginner. Y’all got me taking a break on my music shit to get back into skating & it’s been so much more fun hahaha you’re the man bro. You still got it!!!

[@The-skate-collector]

Yess let’s do it! I’m 31 got back in at 29 best choice I made keep at it! You still butter

[@fishingrightnow2369]

Bro me too ! Back at 29 and this month marked one year back for me !

[@JoeBezie420]

Back when Lamont was sponsored by Element and Converse and doing games of skate on Nigel's channel he was becoming one of my favorites. A lot of potential

[@ChongcoSk88]

Got back at 45, wish I would've got back at 30. Man you can change the industry, that unlock tricks to get the part on Jeffs channel is cool af.

[@diplenski]

i've been getting back into skating the last 2 years, i'm 41. i was never without a board, just life gets in the way and rust forms faster than you'd think. basically started over from scratch and focusing more on basics/fundamentals and strength/mobility over trick progression this time around so i hopefully don't get hurt and can skate forever.

[@collinsjames7518]

I’m in the same boat. 40 years old and after a bad injury in my 30s and not skating consistently for a few years, I’m back at it. Definitely a different experience now with having to take things slower in order to avoid injury, but I can do a lot of my old tricks if I take my time with them. I’m just happy that skating over 40 is even possible.

[@diplenski]

@@collinsjames7518 yeah, it's nice to be able to get out there at all. good way to get in shape

[@Spychronic]

THE MAN IS BACK! BEEN WAITING FOR THIS DAY!

[@sbakerskate]

Never too late to skateboard, get old when you stop trying to roll around. Props for hopping back in to the grind

[@dunker3]

So hyped on that! Yes, seeing you skate makes us happy, but it makes you happy too!

30 is perfect age too still skate good.

[@Sharpenis-wm4kg]

Hell yes bro bringing it back! I love this. don’t stop your manual tricks hard flips and laserflips were unmatched

[@palmeraniian]

It does make me happy to see you skating again. During some pretty dark times of mine i would just watch all the youtube skaters and it would litteraly add some light in my life. Id look forward to seeing what you guys were up. I feel alot of people can relate to that. Is just a good feeling to see you on the board. Hard to explain. Like seeing a band get back together type of thing.

[@eboebreo]

Bro honestly, much respect to the move you’ve made and getting back to it at 30. I believe you were never truly out the skateboarding scene. Once a Skateboarder, always a Skateboarder. I still remember the days when you started Candi Co (copped me some merch too). Your skating style inspired me. Fuck ‘em haters! It is funny to see how everyone is now jumping on starting their own YT channels. I’m 39 soon to be 40 and love pushing on this piece of wood with wheels. 👋🏻👊🏻‼️

[@MindlessSoul]

Hell yeah Lamont still got it! I’ll be looking forward to more vids in this series for suure

[@RiverNineOne]

You were one of the first skaters I watched on KZbin. I remember the Candy days. Good to see you back 👏

[@steezusb]

It don’t matter about who goes the biggest or who goes the hardest you Lamont holt, the technicality of your maneuvers was just mind blowing and it brought more joy to me personally than any other pro. I’ve been about you since I was a teenager…. since 2000 and damn 10, When it comes to this skate shit, we don’t need some Jenkee ass sponsors to tell us how good we are. One thing I learned know your worth

[@jacqueraspy]

hell yeah, lamont. i've been waiting for the fire to spark.

[@Unlockingparadoxes]

I hope that everyone has an amazing and memorable rest of the year and safe travels, vacations, work, adventures and skateboarding throughout the years. 🍀♾️❤️‍🔥

[@bunnv1]

glad to see you back skating! You are one of the reasons I've started skating, I remember watching your videos and game of skate with other KZbinrs back then, you got this bro!

[@AntonBakerr]

I love watching yours and Jeffs videos ,keep skating and having fun dawg!

[@JessyBenjamin_Cracked]

Just started 6 months ago at age 28, turning 29 in October.. mcl, pcl not even connected in my left knee from my teen years and I was told I’d never run again and lost my possible football career cause of it.. 6 months in & im hitting kickflips, tre’s(ish), stair sets, rails and ramps and skating every goddamn day. Never too old. Also you an Jeff’s content been helpin motivate a ton and I support you standing on business and not succumbing to the industry against your morals. Real recognize real! Also I hate rails too so far they scare me more than anything. Much respect brother keep it up 🔥🔥

[@ImBlackIvy]

Same man , my acl injury made me stop skating like I used to. I can barely get the confidence to 50-50 a ledge

[@JessyBenjamin_Cracked]

@@ImBlackIvy I found most of it is mental.. sometimes when I’m in my head I throw on pads and a helmet just to free my mind then as soon as I get the feel I take em off lmao

[@Nick_Tank]

Rails scare me too. That’s what deterred me from thinking I couldn’t excel so I slowed down skating honestly. Seeing all these “older” guys get back on makes me want to come back and go even harder (with easy stuff not the gnarly shit😅) make a long story short. Practice what you’re comfy with. Ledges, small stair sets, flat ground is 👍🏽

[@cyclopsentertainment517]

Makes me feel a little better about my knee. I hurt my knee not long ago and it hasn't felt right since almost feels like it's disconnected but hopefully ill be able to keep skating with it

[@JessyBenjamin_Cracked]

@@cyclopsentertainment517 my knee hasn’t felt the same since my injury.. 300 lb dude jumped on my leg on a trampoline and I completely tore my mcl, pcl and partially tore my acl.. came back a year later with no surgery and won defensive mvp for my HS football team as a defensive back.. ran a 6 min mile in 2019, swam a mile straight in 2021 & started skating at age 28 in 2024.. knee doesn’t feel attached and gives out time from time but nothing will stop me from living my life to its fullest. I have faith in you brother!!

[@jaydizzle4064]

Man I haven’t seen a Lamont video in a while ESPECIALLY a skating video holy shit man

[@sgeb4996]

Good to see you back at it Lamont. Looking forward to making this into a series. I quitted at 18 and got back at it at 29. Patly because of YOUR videos.

[@TheNotoriousWSG]

You inspired me, man. Freshly 30 and it's been years since I was on a board. I'm on vacation right now, but snagging a board and getting out there as soon as I'm back home.

[@Jblizzybaby]

W lamont back into skating. I used to watch your skate part to the icarly song after school about 10 years ago now

[@Bigenshiesty]

I’m getting back into skating at 36. I’ve been on and off for years and stopped in my mid twenties thinking I was too old to do anything professionally anymore. Once you let go of that mindset and just start skating for the fun of it and to learn all the tricks you’ve always wanted to learn it’s so much more of a good time. As long as you take care of your body with the right eating most of the time and hitting the calisthenics 2/3 times a week you’ll be straight. It’s great to see you getting back out there my g. Be good to yourself and be patient with yourself.

[@wforbes87]

as soon as I seen people putting up reactions to your old parts I KNEW you'd be back on it. so glad to see it bro. you're gonna be hitting those crazy tailslide and manual combos again so quick forget everybody else: skate again because it brings joy to you man, you deserve that

[@Shay-dn7cz]

Got back into it in my 30s. I love every second of it.

[@dmoore914]

Im 29, i been back for 5 months. I only skated for 2 years when i was 13. Im already better than what i was as a kid.

[@VintageSk8]

At 53 I started skateboarding and I have now been skating for a little over a year now and besides a few slams it has actually been better for my health, I went from 229 to 192 and I am only 5'6" tall thats a lot of weight in a year and I owe all that to skateboarding. I will continue as long as I can and right now I don't see the end!!!

[@MrChandlerskates]

So sick ! I was a lil ass jit when you were doing the Berrics Westchester videos backkk in the day ! Real OG to me

[@k-slapz1339]

Been watching you since you was 14 bro on NKA channel fr love see you skate

[@apprentice0ne]

man, having some homies like you do to motivate you is more valuable than you probably realize. Most people getting back into it, don't have that luxury. That said, you do have some sick skills, good that you got back into it.

[@fullmetaldovahkiin]

I would watch you for inspiration before skating back in 2015 all the time so it's really nice to see you skate again

[@michael.fortes]

Let's go Lamont! Used to watch your part on NKA's channel back in the day.

[@noahschuler1205]

Legend glad to watch you skate

[@rainbowspice]

I always loved your style. Happy to see you back.

[@Ernie_Creates]

FINALLY! Happy tro see you back skating. I grew up watching you bro!

[@JAYSON_DIAZ]

We want to see you skate because not everybody has to be the craziest skater and do the hardest tricks to be worth watching. It’s the style / bag of tricks you develop that make people want to watch you so keep skating and having fun you’ll see that you can get more creative with what you can already do.

[@commentator2.0]

Hell yea keep it going bro. We want to see you having fun

[@justinvollrath7171]

So glad your back on a board bro! I feel the pain dude I'm 36 back at it and man it's the same just linger recovery time!! Cheers man keep it up!

[@JM_McGregor]

Bring the old skits back🥺 they inspired me and made my day🤘glad to see you back in it though

[@tanyavilla7822]

It's in your heart and it's in your blood to do the best at everything you do and you're a definite pro to me in my book.. in all different kinds of ways.....you look good you look healthy and I'm very proud of who you are .. I truly love you and Kia truly..

[@humanspiritpersonified2219]

Bro your podcast is top tier, but this is more entertaining than it for sure. I've never seen your video parts, but I've seen your skills on jewberts channel. There never was enough of your skating on there too, but I loved seeing your 360 fs shuv. So much pop with them 😮‍💨💪

[@brucebruno842]

I'm 45 and I just started again 1½ years ago. I'm progressing in ways I haven't before. I heal about the same (I am on TRT). I just take my time progressing up to bigger things instead of just flinging myself at everything. Building muscle strength of those little skate muscles; which are only used to skate, takes a little while, but you got it.

[@isaiahfilmsanimations]

best video you've put out in a long time, this was awesome

[@TheGhostOfFredZeppelin]

The biggest hurdle to get over in my opinion, when you're getting back into it after a long time of not doing it, is to not compare yourself to the younger you, when it takes you 20-30 tries to land tricks you could do every try back in the day, that shit sucks at first

[@Personxlly]

Love that u skating again take care of your body while u getting back into it bro

[@AlcindorProductions]

You’re at the point that you’ve been a part of/ created your own branch. N we watch cause you feel like the welcoming homie that even if you nicer on the board you still cool n get it🫡

[@-cyborg.38]

You n Jeff keep doing your thing, love you Unc

[@Idonthavesocialmedialol]

Way to go bro. I remember when you started Candi Co years back. I actually skated for the 1st time in about 3 years. Real life catches up to us. Skateboarding does not pay the bills for us all. You have to adjust. Glad you can find the time and energy to enjoy what we all fell in love with as young kids trynna go PRO. Lol. Anyways, how could we let it ALL go down the drain? All those hours of getting so good just to one day…or one year…STOP!? Nah. Keep that flame lit G. God bless.

[@Not_Another_Skater]

In my opinion, the progression or “re-progression” is more appealing to people these days. It’s something that has motivated me and I’m about to turn 32. Keep shredding my dude!

[@Islandboy99]

We love you Lamont Holt

[@ArcTHC]

Glad to see you skating again. Keep it up and get back to what we all know you capable of 💯 I'm a year back in after 3 years off and still trynna fully get my skill back from when I was a teen. I'm only 22, but my body feels 30 ong 😂 for sure gotta do more healthy lifestyle things off the board the older you get to feel comfortable on the board.

[@GenTknd4]

Yess we needed this

[@PirateWithACamera]

Yoo! So stoked for this!

[@Dikheaddev]

I dont feel so alone getting back into skating at 30 now haha glad to see you back on the board g

[@Unlockingparadoxes]

Definitely start skateboarding again if its something you want to do. I believe in you Lamont

[@tech_n_gears6713]

Man, i feel you...I stopped at 25 after i got out the Navy and I decided to pick it back up again at 36.

[@Sc0fieldek]

i remember watching your parts and games of skate with micky papa back in like 2012 on nigel's channel, also that team shaw part you did in woodward with carlos vega and micky papa fire af, i watch that to this day. keep going bro, if you are 30 then you are only 2 years older than me, we still hella young bro, if you put the effort you can easily go back to pro level skating. hope to see hella more skating vlogs from you!

[@stucat]

Jeff got you with that reverse psychology on ya that fs 360 shuv back lip combo is nuts!

[@bradfoster8146]

Do the things that make YOU happy dude. If skateboarding makes you happy, do it. It's an added bonus if hypes up other people.

[@OldManSkateboards]

It's never too late. I'm 46 and still getting better. Gonna be in Bakersfield September 20th to skate with Mogely. Heritage Park. Pull up!

[@dolphinitely_bro3944]

Keep it up lamont! Dont let haters distract real motion

[@sbakerskate]

Some sketchy landings but your style is clean af. Can’t wait to the progression 🧼

[@AntwonVinnie]

Bout damn time!

[@tinoserrano9042]

Garret and Lamont collab🔥🔥

[@Marco.Mahalo]

I need to start skating again too! Getting me hyped

[@Quay1586]

[@FlameFilmAndSound]

[@JJRamoneNY]

I've been skating since i was 10. Im 28 now and still at it. There's no age limit or certain time to start it. You can start whenever

[@Spencerbreedingskates]

Im 30 an started back at 29. Definitly dont recover as fast as before but totally worth it.

[@christianjarvis5729]

I just started skating last year at 29 lol. Now I'm 30 and I feel like I'm a lot more comfortable than when i started. I can confidently do a decent Ollie with speed and control lol

[@bloodhoundsoldier7445]

back into it this january at 25/26, i was never good to begin with but even i'm still like "damn i'm too old for this"

[@Jay-xm5ye]
