    This is great! I quit skating in my mid 20's when life got "serious". Now I'm 36 and my threes daughter's, 2, 4,and 5; all took up skating on their own accord. Blew my mind! They met some boys with skateboards and that was it. So, I built a miniramp in the baclyard, bought some boards and man it's been the most fun and coolest way to bond. Shaking the rust off isn't as easy as I hoped, but it's so much fin to skate with the kids. This channel is awesome man!

    I'm still super ambitious about my skateboarding at 47. Not that I think I'm going to reach some super amazing level, but i am still progressing. I was decent as a younger skater but no real consistency with flip tricks just many years with mini-ramp and solid skills. i learned flip tricks for real at 46. i can still ollie a shigh as i ever cld, 2 ft or so, not bad. skateboarding pulled me out of 10+ yrs of severe depression and mourning

    • @DarmokAtTanagra
      @DarmokAtTanagra 10 місяців тому +1

      I stopped for something close to 17 years. I'm still rebuilding muscles, but after a year or so back i'm close to where i used to be, except now i can do some flip tricks and finally learned fs shuvs, and i think about skateboarding with a lot more clarity and specific technique

      @scott.skates  10 місяців тому

      Dude that’s rad! Thanks for sharing man that’s sick and inspiring!🔥🤘I feel like we can keep progressing until the wheels fall off. I really don’t think age is a factor unless you count increased focus and less distractions aka less b$llsh@t in our lives as we get older. Idk it’s open for debate. My thoughts are if the body is ready and the mind is willing, why not!🤷🏽‍♂️❤️🛹🤙

    Loved the story man! Awesome to put yourself in front of skating and do what needs to get done like advancing your career and being with your family. Nothing better to return to skating when you're older and have things figured out. Skating past 40 after not skating for decades is the best feeling! I'm there with you! Cheers!

    I am 50 now & i quit at 18 in my prime when our early 90's life kicked in..
    I REGRET IT!! Throughout the 90's i'd hop on a board here & there when i saw one.
    Busted a kickflip here & there & thought i'd have it forever...
    Well fast forward to 2014 and at 40 years old i unretired when i happened to see
    a "RAY UNDERHILL" PowellPeralta deck.
    Possibly the very 1st deck to have a huge upkick spoon
    nose..... This got me psyched & i'd say i skate similar to you except i can't skate the skatepark.
    They always bothered me..If i do i like to AllHail Cardiel it & skate fast doing nothing but carving
    50/50's and simple sh but fast.
    ~Now it's all about Curb dancing for me and couple locals who found my shpot i created at a smooth shopping plaza near my house...
    I waxed a doublesided curb & after 2 years it finally grinds.. and of course the plaza curb for Manny's & lipslide etc..
    I am happy to see some of the kids leave teh skatepark and find the spot..
    There's a note in "Sharpie" that i wrote small that says "Wax- look & you will find it"
    and i was pleased to see they did & even put it back..
    Funny story was this was next to a "Pier1Imports store" and the wax i bought was that scented fancy wax and
    when you use it smells all fruity n shit......
    Stay Gnarly Guys.. We came up in the greatest era!

    • @scott.skates
      @scott.skates  10 місяців тому +1

      Idk🤷🏽‍♂️ What I did first was coaster tail slides, ride parallel to the curb pivot on your nose placing tail onto the curb and slide. Hope that helps, KEEP SHREDDING!❤️
