Seriously guys, ride everywhere. If you could walk, skate. If you can bike, skate. Get used t how different terrains feel, different banks. You don't have to do crazy stuff, just ride, manuals for balance practice, tic-tac for control practice, carving banks... It's so satisfying to see people close to my age going for it. I'm with you guys! Keep pushing!

[@thehumblepundit9790]

Beginner OG here! I'm 47 years old and just started skating after never being on a skateboard ever before. In my life. Ten weeks down the road now. I skate alone all the time, because there are no OGs in my area at all. That being said, I go to skate parks and everyone is so friendly, encouraging and helpful. I also got injured twice already trying stuff way over my skill level. And that's going to happen if you push yourself too hard. Yes, you'll fall and may even injure yourself, but you can get really badly hurt if you are trying too hard to progress beyond yourself. The best advice I got from some Homies I met online is to enjoy the process. Just go out there, and skate. Have fun! Push yourself to learn in baby steps every time you go and before you know it, you'll be somewhere you never thought possible. The first couple of times I went out, I was like, "this is IMPOSSIBLE! I'll NEVER be able to push myself around!!" And here I am, 10 weeks later carving all over the parking lot I practice at, pushing myself around like a champ! HAVE FUN!! Best. Advice. Ever.

[@Silly_Rabbit92]

I'm 28, just got my first board!! This right here is inspiring me to put more time in and not let the "are you too old to start?" Get in the way!! Keep at it buddy! You got this!

[@justinsaunders4068]

[@snaifhassnan6348]

tricks are fun while riding though

[@famousgoldentouch]

I’ll reply to this with the same answer as to another comment: Don’t be afraid: I am 33 and startet again, lost all my muscle memory, but what I can say: I know it sounds boring but just keep riding around, to the bus/subway, etc - even if it feels like there is no progress, after 2 weeks you’ll feel major improvement and from there, anything is possible … Did you already start? The feeling after your first ability’s or trick is the best in the world…

I just now got comfortable after 3 years on my skateboard! My biggest tip to anyone who's new to skateboarding would be to follow Aarons advice of getting comfortable riding around and bending your knees. At first it feels impossible to hold your balance when rolling but the longer you practice it becomes way more natural to roll than do stuff stationary. Bend your knees and always commit! It gets more and more fun the better you become. :D

Thank you Aaron. These videos have been really invaluable to me. I'm 32 and have just started skateboarding. Just knowing the basics have helped me and my 10 year old daughter so much!

[@pezboy715]

Aaron, you absolutely rock. I’m on the verge of 30 and on the verge of picking up skateboarding. Not only are your beginner videos just amazing, but your encouragement of beginners and discouragement of trolls and haters really makes me feel like I can do this. Thank you!!

[@Finkqxe]

Aaron, thank you so, SO much for the amazing videos you’re putting out! Mid-30s now, I finally decided to learn to ride a skateboard. And your content inspired me so much and helps me every day in making baby steps to achieve my goal, being able to consistently and ride my board and do an ollie by the end of the year (currently still on „trying to stand on the board, and push and ride straight ahead without falling off“). Thank you for being a positive voice for the skating community and especially beginners like me, feeling selfconscious about being „that old dude there who can’t do s***“. Your videos keep me going. Much love from Germany!

In 1981 I was 14 and speed skating around the rink, yesterday I have decided to build a custom board and go for it, thanks for sharing some awesome tips for the old dudes.

I mongo pushed for 4 years when I found out it was wrong this month I spent a week re learning how to skate properly

[@KingKhaoz]

What is ‘Mongo Pushing’?

[@lilly5557]

@@KingKhaoz it’s where you push with ur front foot instead of ur back foot

[@cypnix5901]

Yo just do whats comfortable.

[@JOK3RC4RDx]

Mongo is actually pretty cool if u have the right vibe with it

[@deanjurgens1651]

This is on my recommendation 1 hour after I bought a skateboard... actually perfect

[@henningsteinert2942]

Thank you and the whole Braille team for your inspiring videos. Thanks to you I started skating again after 12 years in the age of 28. Sometimes I thought I am too old and my wife was worried that I will brake my bones. But I found myself very surprised that I can still ollie. I also landed my first shove it a few days ago. So to everyone: Start skateboarding. Its so mutch fun and you are never too old. It dosnt matter what other people think.

[@SkatingwithAaron]

Another great tutorial! I agree 100% that it’s important to take the time and start out right. Nail the basics as it will drastically help you progress!

[@ryanismyname1215]

This is really convinient. I got my first board yesterday

[@brailleskateboarding]

Perfect! Have fun with it and let us know if there's anything we can help with.

[@merkeyturkey9651]

Ollies on grass are insane

Practice it and once you will have a great ollie while rolling🛹 Never give up✌🏽

[@JamesFerrerosa]

It's been over ten years since I skated but today I finally went back to the skate park and I landed a Ollie for the first time in over 10 years! I've watched that in depth video of the Ollie and it really helped! Can't wait to go back tomorrow and work on my skating some more! Thanks Aaron!

[@Dyingsewerrat]

Ahhsjs I got my board today so I'm really excited to learn >~

I long-boarded a bit in high school, but my friend borrowed my board once and then ended up moving once school ended, so I never got it back and stopped skating. Fast forward over a decade, and I'm re-teaching myself how to ride on an arbor pilsner now at 30, hoping that it'll help my commute to my college from the metro rail station I take. I'm back at school getting another degree too since I didn't like anything my first one led me to. It's never too late to re-orient your path in life in a direction you feel it should go: Even if it's harder, it's your path, and you're the only one who can stop you so don't and go for it!

[@sylvassasalladsbestick1342]

Hey, I just wanted to thank you guys for this video! My friend wanted me to go skating with them yesterday. I have a lot of social anxiety and have never been the athletic type, so I was really scared of trying. But then I started watching your videos and you have such a chill vibe that it made me feel less scared. Seing experienced skaters fall made me realise that it's part of the process. If I fall, that doesn't mean I shouldn't try again. So we went skating yesterday and it was super fun! I'm so happy that I challenged my own fears and tried it. Like, when I "got it", the world around me turned silent and it was just me and the board. I felt so free. We're going skating again next week, and I'm already looking forward to it ☺️

[@chrisbrown8963]

I just got right at lunch and was hoping for some shenanigans. Oh well

[@noonelol1125]

I’ve been watching skateboard videos for almost 2 years now and I never got the chance to buy a skateboard...my birthday is coming up soon and I THINK I finally convinced my dad to buy me one... I’m just too hopeful about it thinking yes maybe he’ll buy me a skateboard , I hope I don’t get disappointed:/

[@yagithegoat1880]

Many thanks to you Aaron, you´ve inspired me when i was a teenager and made we want to start skating, too bad i didn´t keep that for long. And looking at these videos and your tutorial once again it really made feel the love and the passion you receive from skateboarding and how much you want to share it with the whole world. I´ll keep trying from now even I´m adult beginner, because I can feel the joy and the passion. Peace!

[@ruadeil_zabelin]

Thank you! This is just what I needed. I'm still on a lockdown that I put myself on (i'd consider myself a risk group), but once things have turned a little bit more normal again i'm definately going to pick up a board and start. Can't wait!
