Skateboarding in my 40's: Re-Learning Boardslides

[@garybrownlee7319]

Awesome.

[@OldBrokenSkater]

Thanks man!!

[@ronescobar1]

Bro yes! Killin it.

[@OldBrokenSkater]

Thanks!!!

[@FirstPersonSkater]

Amazing! Relearning boardslides and then going right into ollieing up a pad to hit the tilted down rail right after? Sick. Grinds on round rails are one of the few things I've learned I'll probably never try again 😂

[@OldBrokenSkater]

Thanks brother! I dont know whats wrong with me, my mind was like this rail needs something more..next ting you know its at the end of the manny pad. Luckily its low to ground otherwise I would have clipped it for sure. Definitely want to get one or five grinds on the rail then put them to sleep....but I feel like I may take one to the shin and just call it a day😂

Big 40 on the 20th Love seeing this brotha

[@OldBrokenSkater]

Happy early birthday!!! I'll be 43 the 29th, July kids 🙌 thanks for watching!

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

Smashing it mate, really great work and the growth of your channel is truly deserved. Keep going man!

[@OldBrokenSkater]

Many thanks!! Love just being back on the board and enjoying the journey of skating again. Hoping to incorporate some surfing in the coming days since i've finally been able to get on that board too. That will probably tank the channel 😂 but love my boards and making videos so I'm ok with it. Glad to see you're getting skate sessions in, my kids home for the summer so some days have been tough...and the dam heat doesn't help either.

[@VintageSk8]

Boardslide manual! Yes please I would totally love to see that, and you have that just on accident it you tried you would surely land it! Anyway, you shred my brother keep to positivity and progression coming such great energy!!

[@OldBrokenSkater]

HA I do a lot of fun things on accident, then I just gotta figure out how I go them😂 Thanks a bunch!!

[@gini.andherhobbies]

Awesome job!! You’re killing it 🙌🏼

[@OldBrokenSkater]

Thank you! Hot and humid lately so getting the sessions in has been tough. Hope its not to overly hot you where you and the fam are!

[@gini.andherhobbies]

@@OldBrokenSkaterto get the daily skate sesh in has definitely been rough down here in Miami 🥵 the heat can’t stop us tho 😁🙌🏼

[@pedrofaleti]

cool 💪

[@OldBrokenSkater]

Thanks!!🙌

[@fatdadskatesbad]

Yeah dude!! 50/50 on the rail made me have horrible anxiety 🤣. I got a flat rail and I never even skated it before since I have nowhere to practice and am terrified of trying to boardslide it and it sliding out on me. Nice vid man!! Downslope boardslides looked epic!!

[@ItsMe-vg4vj]

Always expect it to slide. Stay out ahead of it.

[@OldBrokenSkater]

Thanks bro! hahaha gives me anxiety too😂, the 50/50 might be out, the rail is round too so makes a bit trickier. I want to get one of these on a mellow rail somewhere we visit, winsdor and rockwell look semi mellow.

[@JCloss1207]

Those 50 attempts had me nervous! Way to commit though. Round rail 50 is scary.

[@OldBrokenSkater]

Super nervous trying them 😂 if I hadn't gotten the round rail for free I would absolutely be trying on a nice a square rail. Hopefully I'll get them in time, thanks for watching!

[@NateGoesOutside]

Nice!!

[@OldBrokenSkater]

Thanks Nate!!

[@amskateboards]

Great set up you got going on there with the ledges and rail. As for boardslides you killed it. Not only did you get them to reg but you also got them out to fakie as well. Not far away from the 50:50 either.

[@OldBrokenSkater]

Thanks Matt! Thinking for the 50-50s I'll try them on a longer rail I recently found. Think the one I have is bit short, we shall see. It's definitely perfect length for the boardslides, really made the learning again process enjoyable.

[@Jonathan_sk8s]

great job man 🔥

[@OldBrokenSkater]

Many thanks!!🙌

[@simonvidetta1976]

Great slides, love the revert too 👊🏻

[@OldBrokenSkater]

Thanks you!!!! Now I gotta learn the no complys 😂 been dodging them

[@simonvidetta1976]

@@OldBrokenSkater 🤣 I’m going to attempting some more complex no comply learns if it’s dry tomorrow morning. Something called a strawberry milkshake and also impossible version too 🤞🏻

[@simonvidetta1976]

@@OldBrokenSkater recon you’ll get them no probs, you seem like a solid all rounder on the board ✌🏻

Nice. Love the boardslides. Just messing around on a little rail is always a good time. 👊

[@OldBrokenSkater]

Thanks! Definitely super fun, wish I busted the rail out sooner.

Absolutely!!!💯 Gotta keep it flowing!

[@t3r083]

love your vids. I'm 34 and just starting to get ollies. How high off the ground is that low manny pad? I built myself a 7" high box that's a replica of the Keen Ramps Slap Pad, still get hung up on my back truck trying to get ontop of it.

[@OldBrokenSkater]

Thanks a lot! The many pad is just a little over 3.5" (8.89cm) off the ground. Literally I bought some 2x4s 8ft long made a rectangle frame and slapped a sheet of plywood on. Love how low it is as it helps build confidence for doing things on bigger ledges/pads.

[@t3r083]

@@OldBrokenSkater that's awesome, I might have to do that myself, as the 7" takes a lot more effort to get onto. This video inspired me, I jumped up, went to the garage and started ollie'ing over a 3.5" tall piece of scrap plywood. It's nice to get rid of the possible hangup for a bit, since the plywood just falls over if I bonk it.

[@OldBrokenSkater]

Sweet deal! Honestly I'm at a point where its much easier to learn things either at a slower speed or with lower obstacles. I slapped a piece of angle iron on the manny pad also, so I could learn stalls, grinds, and anything else. I started my 50-50s, noseslide, and crooked grinds all on it before moving to the bigger box I have. It really just helps in figuring out the trick and what comes along with it but also helps immensely in the confidence department. Glad you got some inspiration! Good luck hope to talk soon!

[@StevesSkateXplosion]

Dude that was fantastic. But never mind that skating crap! Is that your white Toyota truck in the garage?!?!😂

[@OldBrokenSkater]

Thanks! That sure is my baby, 2019 taco bought it right about when covid started to kick off the party with about 9k miles so it was like new then. Its a short bed 4 door. Love the durability, use to drive a hilux in my Mexico adventures and they can take some serious abuse.

Wish I had a longer bed, but still would highly recommend!
