Yup my life sucks & it’s a total shitshow! Injuries destroyed my skating career, and I’am still dealing with it to this day. And I still have surgeries because skateboarding. FML 😞

[@allenguimond4634]

Skating is still very important to my life at 62. It's just evolved to an appreciation of each day.

[@GorillaBiscuitz]

I hope I'm lucky enough to still be skating at 62! Hell yes man 💀🛹🤙

[@justinbishop7142]

Good to hear. I’m 39

[@tts197stealth3]

I just started back at 46 after years of not skating, and I hope and pray I will still be able to for years to come. To hear that you're still going in your 60s is absolutely amazing and very inspirational. Thank you!

Zach is pro af

[@FeralPublication]

Hey, this video style was the dopest skate video I have seen in a long time 🎉 keep this up!

[@fiore_adriano]

Balance in life while skating is the key for me. Having other interests, outlets, hobbies, and friends outside of skating.

[@pinkselfeletric]

make more videos like this! love the podcast at the skatepark feel

[@u02jgc9]

Enjoy these types of videos. One thing I've learned working a corporate job is not to put too much value on things you can't control. You can't choose yourself for a promotion anymore than you can choose to make yourself pro. Unfortunately, there ain't much in the world that's based solely on merit, so looking for validation in other people's opinion of your job/skating/etc. is a losing game. Do what you enjoy, be true to yourself, and damn the rest.

[@Dahnj]

I’m 26 and thoroughly enjoyed this. I’ve loved and still love skating. As I get older I’ve learned to appreciate it more. Please Do this with more people.

[@gooseallie4417]

I love these videos! It’s great to hear from skaters. Real questions hard questions. Please keep doing these

[@frostshock13]

Besides getting older, I have always felt this regression every year over winter. Then every spring I spend relearning to get things back to where they were. It's eventually, just led to me skating less. I love skating, love the culture, and just now it's like I go out have some fun, but progression is close to done and getting really injured now would not ideal. Anyways vote Oreo Zip Hoodie 2024.

[@troy7910]

i think you've cracked a really good style of skate vids. hope it goes well for u

[@silv3r7ongue97]

Just started skating at 28.. my life just started

[@Zephyrian1st]

Just returned to skating at 31, cause life took a different focus. My life is just really just getting in gear.

[@4everhumbl36]

Completely normal to just feel like you starting to get a handle on life at 31 brudda salute 🫡 Don’t be down on yourself Take the rest of your 30s to focus on you and your loved ones and becoming best version of yourself you can be by 40 so then by 50 you truly happy and content in your life Blessings 🙏🏻

[@ZachDoelling]

You’re sick for that 5-0 Dale. Fun times

[@nickt204]

🤙

[@mikethomson6546]

Hey Dale, I appreciate the video. I am in the demographic. I still skate if you could call it that. I've wound down. Most flat ground flip tricks and some ledge stuff when I have the energy. I try to conserve energy for my Family. Been going through it lately in life man. Fighting with the beast. Trying hard to keep sober. I heard you say, "If you're going through hell, keep going". I needed that boost. Thanks Dale. You've helped me hold it together. 😊

[@4everhumbl36]

Proud of you for staying sober brudda hopefully this comment reaches you in the same mind state you had when you commented your original post 🫡 Family friends hobbies passions enjoying life is all that will ever matter. Drugs and alcohol are always going to consume a persons soul and they only/escape/avoid everything a person using NEEDS to deal with and confront head on 💯 Dealing with life sober and living life contently is NORMAL Substance abuse isn’t reality Stay strong my G

[@scottmccrimmon1]

Sick video, you guys rule ❤

[@crmesson22k]

4:45 Dan is right back when I was a kid before youtube Channels teaching you the best way to do a trick. I had no idea how flip tricks worked like they looked like magic to me.

[@Bamplug]

Always interesting topics, great video!!

[@Griefer-Gaming]

Love your vids dale Props to you

[@jbobbeals5521]

Enjoying the new video format🤝🏽

[@mearl3977]

I didn't get to skate as a kid/teen. I was that guy who always asked someone to show me how and they would rarely let me skate. Since the pandemic I have been skating as much as possible. I can ollie and ride-on grind, sometimes. I feel great whenever I get on my board. For me there isn't much of a life in terms of meaning or feeling good. I have a job as a data analyst but I don't feel like I ever really lived or maybe I'm just comparing myself to you guys in all the wrong ways

[@master_illitrix]

Quit skating in 2021. Felt like I was missing something and just weird for 3 years before I got back on a board and realized I can't give it up

[@onlyMGB]

I’ve just started skating at the ripe age of 28 & tbh skating imo is a lifestyle, I think that’s why it was such a hard question for u guys to answer. It’s way more apart of ur life than a sport like basketball or soccer or something like that

[@intotheunknown8774]

Amazing video by the way

[@oldbonz]

Just wait till you're a geezer, keep skating, every week, and just enjoy what skating gives back!

[@SkateCrisis]

Before I go for a session, I know it will hurt the days after. The nuance is just how bad it will hurt... Great video, thank you Dale!

[@h7opolo]

anybody friends with dan is blessed.

[@WCAMStudios]

I love skating that park in anaheim

[@GorillaBiscuitz]

Zach was right about skaters in their 40s and 50s. We also didn't take care of our bodies like a lot of skaters do now. My knees sound like broken glass.

[@sliimetown5387]

Rad video!

[@andrewkissel741]

Why does there have to be an “after skating”? Unless something physically prevents you from doing it. I’m 50 years old and my skating is different than when I was younger but no less fun or satisfying. Lance Mountain, Cab, and Salba are 60 and still skate

[@SuperApaxton]

Some people's bodies don't hold up as well. Other things take priority. The longer you're off the board the more dangerous it becomes.

[@Seaneskatejitsu]

Dope unique tricks on unique obstacles are way more appealing then watching robot handrail, stair set tricks.

[@FishJunkie]

Yeah it sucks when you skip a day or even longer once you're 40. Well for me anyways. Takes me a while to warm up.

[@GorillaBiscuitz]

41 here. I need a good half hour before I'm all juicy.

[@indiegrab360]

Getting really kid at your childhood hobbies... "I'm a lawyer!" "I'm a doctor!" ...."I can switch tre manual at the park for no money, but it feels good." If you're in BATB like Zach was you are basically pro. He wasn't in "pros vs joes" either he was in the legit brackets. And only lost by a very slim margin.

[@JarthenGreenmeadow]

Brimless snapback beanie is so goofy. I like Zach but that is some kook shit.

[@4everhumbl36]

Breh really? On such an honest and introspective video about topics many other skaters in the world could instantly connect and understand relate with and yet your only thoughts and comment you decide to share with the internet is your disdain for an item of clothing another heterosexual man chose to wear (who you don’t know personally) and isn’t a homie of yours to be cracking on like that etc. it’s like what for my G? You a fashion model? You a street wear brand owner? You judge other men’s appearances and will only befriend them if they meet your criteria of what’s cool and “non-kook” shit? Serious question I’ll never understand clowning another mans fashion choices if you a straight man who isn’t attracted to other men and or doesn’t have a personal connection to them but feels the need to mock them and kick outdated jokes? Relax doggie. Zach will be aight

[@JarthenGreenmeadow]

​@@4everhumbl36 Bro wrote a whole essay in response to my single sentence lmfao. Allow me to respond in kind: "what for my G?" Because it looks ass. You're really going on and on about "hetereosexual this" and "another straight man" that. What differences does it make? The hat would look stupid on a gay dude too. If I was gay, the hat would still look stupid. It is a stupid looking hat. Sexual orientation is irrelevant. "yet your only thoughts" Not my only thoughts, just the only one I shared lmao. You're so fkn pressed because I said his hat looked stupid. Did you design the hat or is this Zach's alternative account? "will only befriend them if they meet your criteria of what’s cool" Yes. I think most people only hangout with people they consider "cool" are you hanging out with people you dislike? Why? "isn’t a homie of yours to be cracking on like that" I dont care. "I’ll never understand clowning another mans fashion choices" Only defending them apparently lmfao "Relax doggie. Zach will be aight" The irony. I'm sure he'd be alright without you defending him too but here you are. I'm sure he likes the hat. I think it's stupid. Who are you again? Right. You're some random who got offended because I didnt like ANOTHER DUDE'S hat and wrote a whole essay about how a straight man shouldnt have an opinion on another straight man's clothing. Sucks for you because I do have an opinion on it 💀

[@Ismell43]

Sucks man I thought Zach would go pro years ago too.. idk what Powell wants but it feels like their just looking for Andy’s and Hewitt’s and Fallen isn’t letting the new dudes take it by reigns I mean they gave Tony who is out of skating a damn shoe and not dudes like Adam or Zach who have grinding now for years but I’m just a peasant so I have probably no idea what’s really going on behind the scenes. Just want to see the Boi’s succeed 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@mercyme3400]

Skateboarding for me is about piling flat ground tricks lol, I am 48 with 7.8 board and do my best to prolong my skate ability

[@Zephyrian1st]

Skateing and Inline are lining up very well atm, not surprised alot of young skaters are messing with Switch-ups on skateboards. Inline is very about style, and how you hold yourself, and how technical is it,did he make it look effortless, etc etc also ended my skating career right around 2016 after an injury i wanna say, took... 6-8 years to skate again. Anyway hucking was what i grew up on, but it might be because im from a small town no where, with nothing to skate and nothing to do, we got tony hawk dvds, and they would have these traveling teams come and skate in tennis courts at schools in the rural bumfuck. I wanna say Phatman Crew, John Osborne recently pro buffalo area would know more, or Anthonly Shetler, he would come out and do stuff with the AIN crew, and i think World Industries did some stuff at one point. anyway i had the Tony Hawk's Trick Tips: Vol. 1: Skateboarding Basics (2000) And im a child of the THPS era, jus a bit older at the time, im ASD 1, childish things stick with me cause of the comfort they provide, skateboarding is genuinely my anti depressant. But uh yea once you become comfortable with your limitations, you can learn other stuff and redefine yourself, for me it was Skateboarding, BMX, Scooter, Longboard, Downhill, now Inline, and its really cool to be at the park, and just grab a scooter and do tricks, and then grab your board and do some tricks, get on inlines and feel this. Cause I'm not gonna be pro, no one around is likely to be pro, hell we rarely encounter pro people in general.

[@Skate_ethos]

There are tons of Pro skaters that are not household names. You could walk up to any kid at a skatepatamd ask him who Zach Doelling is and they'd know. Its nearly impossible to make a liveable wage as a pro skater and people know and understand that now. I'd rather find a way to make money and be a household name and let the quality of my work speak for itself. I promise people are not out there putting people in teirs of pro and not Pro. They're looking at the skating!

[@4everhumbl36]

I 100% hear and agree with where you coming from in this comment for the vast majority of everything you mentioned but to say there’s not plenty of skaters and kids out here still looking at who pro vs not sponsored/pro etc and feeling like it makes a big difference to them personally isn’t fully accurate man Less people prolly care than ever to be forreal so you right like I said I agree But man there’s so many young kids still praying to be pro one day and it’s a shame cuz like you said I would rather skate and make money some other way 🫡
