I am 43 and just started skating after 15 years off the board. I have been trying to skate everyday. Friends and people at work have said how much happier I seem. Love the video look forward to more.

[@dadboard]

Stick with it, dude! I recommend getting a jumprope, helped me when I was coming back to skating

[@kdeSouza]

Thank you @Luke and @Dad Board knowing that it is never to late to get back into skateboarding. I am 47 turning 48 this year. Looking to get started this summer as the weather gets warmer up north. Any suggestions on buying a new board after so many years off.

[@dadboard]

@@kdeSouza hell yeah! Welcome back, dude. What kind of skating did you do prior to quitting? I found that I pretty much gravitated towards the way I used to skate (ledges, manuals, generally low impact) but when I got back I bought this crazy shaped board with big wheels because I had it in my head that since I’m older I should skate transition lol that was not how it ended up. If you used to ride a 7.5 or really thin board like me I highly recommend getting at minimum an 8.12 or something close to 8.25. Boards got bigger but it’s much easier to learn on and stability is your friend.

[@normanl.6891]

​@@dadboard same! My go to warm up. Turn 40 this yr!

[@kdeSouza]

@@dadboard I used to skate everything back in the day (vert, park, street). I would like to get back into street and park. Basically, I want to get back and learn the basics, then slowly progress from there. I was looking at 8.25 - 8.5 boards to start. Keep up the good work on the vids.

[@andrescientos]

Before skate parks appeared in our hometown, skate spots like these are where you'd likely run into your friends after school in the evenings, 3:45am, or the weekends. As soon as skate parks started popping up, the skate scene was somewhat contained and you'd no longer see your friend at "the four stair by the mall" or "the drop with the bank behind BestBuy" anymore. I miss those days.

[@dadboard]

I know exactly what you mean. I smile every time I see a group of kids skating some random street spot.

[@YouFit100]

Turning 30 this year... bought a board 3 weeks ago and my ollies are getting decent... never skated in my life just rolled around with my brothers in elementary thats about it, but bro I would be stoked to be as good as you when I get to 40... inspired

[@dadboard]

Hey I’m not 40 yet! 😂 but fr that’s awesome man, just be easy and don’t worry about doing any tricks for at least 6 months. Learn how to push and cruise really really comfortably and that will help develop style.

[@drone-vision]

Lol m 41, started nearly 2y and only now getting small ollies while rolling... never too old to skate. Skate safe

I still live in the SF bay area and the mid 90's were beyond incredible seeing tricks for the first time right before our eyes. Countless up and coming pros back then rolling through SF (Hubba Hideout & pier 7) Koston, Gall, Singleton, Williams and so many others. I push goofy and always been able to hit fakie heelflips like it's going out of style. Do what you love while your able !!!!

Yooo I'm from East Bay close to same age. We would take the O bus to the city all the time to skate EMB and ride all over. We even snuck into the Xgames when they were there and Tony Hawk did his 900. We didn't see it but we heard everyone going crazy. Never got to see pros in the streets tho, that would've been cool.

[@helmutdschulnigg5798]

Such an inspiring video! Thank you! I recently subbed to your channel because i can relate to so many things you have in your videos. In september i turn 37 and have been skateboarding with breaks for 27 years. In my early 20s i was one of the best in our city with a shop sponsor and flow for NIKE SB Austria. I took part at many contests and traveled europe for filming video parts. That was an awesome time and i thought it was the best. With 30 i stopped skateboarding because i had many bad injuries and surgeries. It was a really sad experience to stop something you are really passionate in. Luckily i have found mountainbiking as my substitute and it gave me the same feeling of freedom and endless possibilites like skateboarding. Due corona i started again because i missed hanging out with my friends and we have got a perfect concrete skatepark under a bridge in our city. A park i could only dream about when i was younger. At first i thought i would get back all my tricks in a short amount of time but i was wrong. It took me 1-2 years to get back on a level i was safe and enjoyable. It was a hard battle but now i am really happy that i can skate nearly on the same level except gap skating i had when i was younger. What helped me a lot is to stretch before and after the sessions. I also do many physical excercises with balance board, foam mat and black roll to stay in form. I can recommend cycling a lot because it will grease your knees and strenghen your back and legs. All in all skateboarding and mountainbiking are my passions and i really love this sports. Switching between these two is really nice. I am really thankful and enjoy every minute on 2 or 4 wheels. For me street skating is the og thing and i love it. Making the best out of imperfect spots in comparison to skateparks makes it really exciting.

[@fd_skate]

Nice and inspiring skating. The first spot looks really fun and you got a good bag of tricks with good pop. I am still trying to find my pop. 😅 Well done youngster! 😉👌

[@RikRiorik]

Gotta love all these spots you’re skating!

[@dadboard]

Finding spots is like fishing or something for me. I always get excited when I see a little alley or parking lot I haven’t explored yet.

[@pretengineer]

As an almost 35 year old (bday in July) that just started skating again after almost 15 years off, I felt that "F*** You!" at 6:42...I also felt the massive impulse to kick the ever livin shit out of that board...but then adult you kicked in and realized that that single kick would hurt like hell and most likely keep you off of your board for almost a week; AND I imagine you had that thought within the 2 seconds it took you to wind up lol! Man, love seeing so many post-30 people getting back at it! Keep shreddin brotha!!

[@dadboard]

I started again at 35 after 13 years, just don’t quit! My advice is to try to watch your diet and get good sleep at least near the days when you plan on skating. Doing cardio and jumprope works wonders as well. Welcome back!

[@pretengineer]

@@dadboard So happy to be back brother! And your advice is the sole reason I've seen any progress at all! I was a solid 250 lbs after Thanksgiving 2022 and yesterday I weighed in at 210 lbs since starting back in January. After spending 26-32 y/o in the gym for 10+ hours a week before covid, I couldn't do it again after it was over...I needed something where health and weight loss was a byproduct and man, skating has been that and more! Plus the mental walls you just kick tf down...there's nothing like it!! Really glad I found your content, can't wait to see your next skate spot! I have some just like this close to me that I just haven't had the huevos to hit yet since they're very visible like your concrete A-frame haha

[@dadboard]

[@zeitgeist1977sk8]

I really enjoy your videos so much! Thanks for the uploads! Looking for goofy spots in industrial or commercial areas of my hometown here in Germany is what I enjoy most on a Sunday. Although we have several decent skate parks and an indoor place I mostly enjoy the quests more 😅. Being 46, I can absolutely relate. I love goofing around on smaller obstacles.

[@dadboard]

Skateparks are fun but definitely a different vibe and experience. I’d love to see what kind of stuff you have out there. In my area a lot of the newer construction is super sterile and pre skate stopped. It’s tough to find anything even remotely skateable. They still fuck up and make something fun every now and then though

[@zeitgeist1977sk8]

@@dadboard Yeah, skateparks are packed most of the time and hectic. If you don't go there early in the morning you probably won't have a satisfying session. Apart from that I prefer grinding on real concrete than on iron edged ledges that the majority of skateparks have. There's a small skatepark just a couple of km away with red painted California style curbs (great fun) , but it's always packed with scooter kids. I'm an early 90s skater, we didn't have any parks back then. So the streets is what I'm used to. The places I skate aren't much different than what you present in your videos. Parking areas with manual pads, curbs, banks, little ledges and smaller gaps. But none of our curbs are painted over here. But the good thing is that everything is closed on a Sunday here in Germany (except Restaurants, gas stations and places to spend your free time like bowling centers etc.). That makes most industrial and commercial areas pretty abandoned Sundays (despite the surveillance cameras everywhere). You can even skate in the streets and use the inner part of a roundabout as a manual pad 😁. Nothing is skate stopped here. But I've seen skate stopped obstacles in larger cities like Frankfurt. Our recently and like everywhere new constructed bus stop curbs are lots of fun. They are pretty high for a curb (new safety regulations I guess) and slappy nose slide and grind to a certain extend (I'm riding Tensor Mags) without wax.

[@dadboard]

@@zeitgeist1977sk8 dude I generally just feel safer skating street spots too. Skateparks are always extra slippery and unpredictable. Those aluminum/steel ledges either stick or slip out half the time and then some yokel on a scooter decides to wax the flatbar or something. On top of all that you have kids with zero situational awareness going against the flow with earbuds in. It’s like the opposite of relaxing lol. I skate like shit before noon too so I’m out of luck going early

[@zeitgeist1977sk8]

@@dadboard I can definatly back up all you said. Feeling the same way. Last year I probably didn't visit them more than 5 times at max because of the reasons you mentioned. If it's too packed I leave after 5 Minutes. But this year I will try to visit them more often, mainly to get to know more fellow skaters in person. Skating alone more than 90% of the time isn't always fun. I'm not an early bird skatewise as well. It just takes ages to get the blood pumping at 8am in the skatepark. Afternoons and even late evenings are way better for me 😅

[@PixelBanger]

"Skate or die bro!" JK...heard this often while skating in the early 2000's. Major props for getting back into it! I'm 44 now and was about as good as you in my 20's. I recently bought a complete thinking I would skate again soon, but it is still in the corner of the living room...

The area is so expensive now. It feels like my home town is rejecting me, but I still like the area and feel drawn here, so I'm fighting to stay. I'm still enjoying these nature trails, (still never bought a car and put in the foot work daily) but tired of the sprawl (do we really need more restaurants, lol!). Glad to see you're still in town. Yeah, I rarely see anyone from back in the day and am a lone wolf just grindin' to live at the moment. I work over at the Rite Aid in the square, so stop by if you get a chance bro (I'll hook up some ice cream, lol!). I surfed around a bit while searching for a place, but with rent prices all I found that was close to work was a "back house" in the community across the park from the apartments. I say "back house", but really it's an old, poorly insulated garage with electricity, but no running water for $650 a month. The landlord is cool enough, but the property owner doesn't want anyone living out here, so I constantly have to dodge him as well as half the neighbors who are his friends/informers. I'm grateful for having a roof over my head, but I'm still searching for something a bit better. Hope you and yours are doing well. How's the family? Anyways, good catching up. We should kick it sometime. I'm surprised we haven't run into each other out and about. I'm always carting around my big ass speaker, so you'd hear me coming, lol! Been going for late night walks over by the parking garage and downtown, so if you ever hear me, say what's up! I always hear skaters there at night.

Then the chemotherapy weakened them too cause right after a year of that sludge my foot fractured just walking leading to another year off and on crutches with eventually a plate 6 screws and a bone graph out of my shin because the foot bones wouldn't heal on it's own.

[@dadboard]

Damn man I hope you’re doing good now, sounds like you’ve been through a lot. You could still setup a board to just go cruise around and carve transition and stuff or is that putting you at risk?

[@cooter1352]

@@dadboard I've been in remission from brain cancer since 2016 but yeah man it's just 2 much risk. If I break it another time I'll end up homeless because my bones don't like to heal. It would jeopardize my job. It was hard enough to find it because of the limitations of my right foot has with all the hardware degenerative bone issues it has now. Doctors more less said I'm limited to desk work and also was told stay out of the rivers fishing cause the rocky terrain. Trying to find new hobbies isn't easy at this age. I find myself smoking a lot of weed lately which isn't a good thing at the moment because it makes me ok with being bored lol. Thanks for the response though and keep on ripping it up bro and hopefully you'll have many years left to skate and be healthy.

@@cooter1352 fuck man that’s so rough, I imagine fingerboards don’t replace the act of skating but I see people like Bevup and others are super into it and it’s like a whole scene. They seriously have taken that to new levels. I was checking out how much a board is and it’s almost the price of a standard complete! I tried to get into it with my techdeck but those are the equivalent of a wal mart skateboard.

[@cooter1352]

@@dadboard 🤣🤣👉🤡💨🙃👍🤙 Appreciate the idea but I'm save my fingers the ladies throwing darts or something. I am interested in these finger decks though that actually cost as much as real complete. If not to get into or buy but to just check them out first. The difference in quality from tech decks has me intrigued. I got into shooting and collecting cool guns but the whole world going to hell in a hand basket has ammo harder and more expensive to come buy as well as firearms in general. I was thinking getting into r/c 4x4 scalers and rock crawlers. I digress have a good one my friend.

BTW I'm 50 and getting back into it but have learned the hard way that stretching is a must now and a supportive exercise regime is also super important.

Dude, so true. I’m starting a program today actually. I need to lose some pounds and get my core strength up. I got lazy this last year

[@lozio2352]

@@dadboard I'm on intermittent fasting. Only eat between 12 & 7. Its effective if you can stay on it for about a month. By then your metabolism should kick in and you're laughing. But I went to Turkey for a week so I've got some making up to do! But skate progression is such a great motivator to get fit

[@dadboard]

@@lozio2352 I’m gonna try to do that, I heard 2-10pm is the window but I get the munchies late night and start attacking the cereal and honey buns 😂

I'm getting back into it at 53 and I hope to do a fraction of what you're doing. I'll settle for one trick. 😀

[@dadboard]

Just stick with it and try to stay motivated, there’s a ton of little hills to climb and some big ones especially when you’re re-learning but persistence pays off! Have fun and be safe 🫡

[@punkinmyvitamins1]

One of my favorite things to skate when I was in my late teens was a little hump over a trash can. I remember my backside 180s were the best they ever were on that hump. Now I don’t skate so I’m scared just cruising around, even though I can still kick flip and do a lot of the tricks I used to be able to do even after 15 years or so! Just a lot more sloppy.

[@dadboard]

Get out there and skate! It will come back with a bit of effort

[@daveskatesallday]

i remember skating my local park years ago, this old dude was with his kids he was still able to nose blunt the big rail (locked in every time) dude was 50 and im like if he can still do it at that age anyone can. Stretch, drink water, eat clean and your body will take care of you

Ordering a twin pop secret girl deck on Friday with Indy trucks and red bones can’t wait I am 39 and haven’t skated for prob almost 20 years. Can’t wait to get back into it me and my son are gonna get decks. I was pretty decent when I was a kid. I’m just gonna take it easy do some small rails kick flips and all. Not gonna try anything crazy at my age

[@dadboard]

Took me a solid year to even feel comfortable again and after that I started to get my legs back to where they felt almost as good as when I was younger. Another year or two and now I’m actually progressing past the point I was at in my 20’s in some areas. I’ll never be as fast or as consistent as the younger dudes but it’s like anything in life, you can still be dope at it you just gotta figure out a new style to do it in as you get older.

[@priestskorge]

@@dadboard Well said brother ! Look forward to it man. Might videotape my progression this time. So I can go back and see the journey

[@justingoers]

I'm 41. Just started skating again after 20 years off. It's been fun. I'm fighting my fear a bit. I think I'm gonna pad up and start going for as much as possible. But mostly I'm cruising the neighborhood and bombing down fun hills. Once I get the pads I'm gonna hit these runs at the park. I need to find some durable shoes. I shredded my Merrell trail shoes relearning ollies.

[@dadboard]

Hell yeah welcome back man! Rock safety gear as long as you need, man. It took me almost a year to get comfy again. I recommend checking out NB# shoes 👌

[@wooltron1]

Turned 41 yesterday. Haven't skated in years but I decided this summer I'm getting back into it. My local skatepark has a mini pool that's designed for 6 year olds that looks perfect for me.

[@dadboard]

Hell yeah, man. It’s adult swim all summer! Get it!

[@bricemenaugh4828]

Eat healthy and move more... that's my philosophy at 45. It helps. A lot. Work on natural movements like sitting in a deep squat, walking hanging, etc.
