the recognition of the failure to commit to basic tricks as an indicator of fatigue is brilliant. so many skaters beat themselves up mentally over this and there's more to it then just being scared of landing your tricks.
I will be 35 soon. It's crazy learning new tricks that I didn't have 20 years ago. Skating is so much more enjoyable now because there is zero competition. I only skate ledges, flat ground, and mini pipes. Absolutely no jumping down anything.
Hi, I'm 38y old now and I have returned to skate 2 months ago. Loved the idea of mix the sessions like is done in gyms: regular, switch, flat etc. Tks for the video!
Started at 40 six months ago to escape a severe case of burnout. It worked, I got out, and now I finally stuck with skating after trying and giving up so many times as a younger man. So excited to continue my journey, step by step 😊
@@danjalwaziri1657I can't decide whether I'm just better able to focus on it now than when I was young, or if it's just easier (mentally) having all the resources in the world vs noooooothing to learn from back when I was a kid.
I’m 44 and have been skating consistently for 30 years however in the last 10 it’s been once a week due to family and work etc. I didn’t realise how important an exercise ‘regime’ was until my family got a Peloton bike. I started with cycling and built up to strength training and yoga etc and the results have been amazing! My recovery, flexibility, stamina and ability to ‘have a good skate’ each session has been a game changer for me. I’m not saying everyone get a peloton (they are expensive) but finding a regime that keeps you fit through the week helps so much when I skate on weekends. Great channel, I’m subscribed and liking the vids ❤
i just turned 42. i have about 2.5 years back on board. i was never without a board but life gets in the way and rust forms faster than you think. plus it's hard to justify the risk of injury into and beyond your twenties. i've been on a bit of a physical/mental health journey lately, thankfully they go hand in hand for the most part. mostly bodyweight/modified bodyweight calisthenics, light D-weights/kettlebell/medicine ball, walking, biking, skateboarding. kinda taking the slow and steady approach and sticking to lower weights. down 40 lbs and in the best shape i've been in since getting out of the Navy almost 20 years ago. the more you do it, the easier it gets and the better you feel. the better you feel, the more you do it and the cycle repeats. appreciate the positive message you're putting out there.
hell yeh man, couldn't have said it better. Congrats on the weight loss and I think your approach is perfect. I was all about how much I could lift up until my 30's, now I've taken the "make light weight feel hard" approach and it's paid off. keep up the great work !
I’m about to be 32 and thought I was too old to hop on my board again or afraid to get injured. But I miss it so much and this is inspiring me. Just subscribed. Thank you!
Knocking on the door of 32 and I resonate with a lot of what you've talked about here. As I entered my 30s I became really deliberate with how and what I would train in the gym and likewise with skating. Truly I feel as good as I ever have on my board even now. keep shredding dude, even though we might be considered old heads at the park now hahaha
Glad I found this channel! I'm 34, I went to a skatepark for the first time in like 15+ years the other day. Managed to ollie up a foot tall box and roll off a 2 foot ledge, no injuries 😅
I'm 52 and try to skate three times a week. Otherwise, I start losing tricks or confidence in doing them. This year, I proved to myself that even at over 50, it's still possible to learn new tricks. I finally managed to land proper 5-0 to Fakie, 50-50 to Fakie, and Feeble to Fakie in the miniramp. Unfortunately, I have to take a break because of a lower back pain (lumbago).
That's awesome, I want to learn pivot fakie and 5-0 fakie soon, I feel like it unlocks a lot from what I see. Take some time and come back strong, lower back stuff is super common..you got this!
@@frontsidehealth In my younger years I did the 50-50 to fakie like switch riding. With the help of this video from Mitchie I learned it correctly. From there it is easy to do feeble to fake. And for 5-0 fakie a combination of tail stall to fakie and 50-50 to fakie help me here. Then the rest will come automatically ua-cam.com/users/shorts-T8s2aY_NLg Now I do the 50-50 to fakie with lifting the front truck and dropping in over the back truck
Yes this shit is awesome. 34, getting back into skating with the same ideals. Only reason I can skate is because I lost 60lbs. Keep spreading it the message. Take care of your body and shred on 🤙🏻
Very sensible advice, subbed. I agree you need to approach things a bit more holistically as you age. Just skating isn't enough. You need to do more to keep the hobby enjoyable and not destructive to your body. Maintaining mobility/flexibility I think is just as important as having some extra strength from resistance training. Throw some power yoga into your current routine and I think you'll be good for a long time. Will help reduce injuries and will activate more of the balance sense you need for skating. If you were to go the extra mile, I would say also add brain exercises to help keep your senses strong, like standing on a balance board and playing video games, or playing rhythm games to optimize the mind body reaction time. Gotta keep the brain sharp too, it's also a muscle if you ask me ;P.
dude I'm 39 now and a year ago I skate like 4 times a week, I learned some new tricks and got better, but few months ago I started having these depression episodes and SAD and now I could barely skate. mental health is a very critical same as the body.
@frontsidehealth watching your videos makes me wanna get back to shape, I noticed I get tired faster than I used to, I gotta try those strengthening and stretching that you're doing. Thanks.
Thanks for the great video. Just got into skating frequently this past summer. Once the kids were back at school I utilized all the time before work and on days off to get skate sessions in and progressed a lot in the past few months. During this time I really did no other exercise, although I’ve been lifting and running on and off since high school. Definitely a good reminder to stay strong to maintain energy, strength and take those slams as they come, although I try to not push myself beyond my skill level that much, and have gotten much better at not falling and falling consciously whereas before I would almost blackout for a split second and come to on the ground like “wtf happened”. Anyway, I definitely subscribed and forward to more content. 🤘👍🤙
Appreciate you watching. That's awesome you're skating frequently AND that you already have the habit of lifting/running since high school. Keep up the great work !
great content man! I skate 2 times a week and workout 5 days a week and i wouldnt have it any other way. If i needed to take a break from either id probably choose to sacrifice one day of work outs for one day of skating for my mental health.
hi bro! i am 47 with 38 years of skate :) My broken body could be skating useless but because of exercice I am still able to skate 2 ou 3 times a week. Changing type of skating for each cession is a very good idea in plus of all your tips. thank you for sharing those good tips! Keep on ripping
I feel like there is a lot of us in our late 30s to 40s that have stared skating again after a 20+ year break. I’m very glad I started again about 3 weeks ago
I was like that back in may this year.. been back skating since i was 28, im 34 now. I wasnt enjoying my sessions as much because i was spending too much time trying to land my basics. Struggling through sessions i decided to take a break, its been 7 months since i stood on a board and i dont know if i ever will again.
Great question. I try not to skate the day after legs or train legs the day after skating. However, this is much easier said than done as most of the time I'm doing full body workouts. So I might hit legs hard, then skate transition the next day or work on switch manuals for example. I've noticed I can skate certain ways and even if I'm sore, I can still get a session in. It really only impacts my skating if I hit squats/deadlifts at a heavier load, then skate flat the next day or am popping my board a lot. The short answer would be I'm ALWAYS thinking about this and determining what the best thing for my body is each day. hope that helps !
hey brother appreciate the video immensely since I've been lifting way before i got back into skating. one question I have tho is how do u structure your skate and leg days? my current plan is skate on days with no leg days and skate on other days like upper body and non lifting days. Do you skate on legs days or think that's too much exhaustion on the legs?

You're right that if we don't decide when to rest, it's going to be decided for us. A couple weeks ago I knew I should rest after a long session with a lot of jumping, but when I felt ok the next day I foolishly did a second session... now it's been 2 weeks waiting for this groin pull to calm down. Even if I'd just varied, never mind rested, I would have avoided this. I started this year thinking about how to prioritize my hobbies (eg pick 1 or 2), because I knew if I didn't narrow them down I wouldn't make the progress I wanted to. That paid off, but I'm thinking that for 2025 I need to prioritize my well-being and fitness just so that I can do any hobbies consistently, without injury! It's hard for me to lift regularly because think "if that's a lifting day, I won't have time/energy to skate/ride/whatever" But if I don't lift, eventually I'm going to pay for it. This was a good message for me to hear and I think it's going to help me keep this 40 year old healthy next year. Thanks.
hell yeh thanks for sharing. Man I've been there skating the next day again when I knew I shouldn't! I love the way you've been thinking about things and you'll eventually figure out a routine that works for you and your body. One idea that has helped me is accepting I won't ever have one solid weekly routine. Sometimes I'm focusing on skating and other times training. I think this is a healthy approach because it will feel more natural to take longer stretches of time off of either when necessary. you got this !
That's a great point! I usually sit down and try to write down what I plan to do that week, and more often than I should be I'm surprised to find I'm trying to do way too much! Gotta work within the boundaries that time and the body are giving me that week.
Bro we’re very similar. I skated in high school and in my 20s. I powerlifted in my 30s. Now I’m almost 40 and I’m back at skating. I remember bailing on a skateboard as a teen or in my 20s and the next day I was good. Today if I take a fall, I feel it for the next week.
Great question, I might make a video on this topic. I try to intentionally limit sessions to two hours unless I bring nutrition to refuel during the session. I'd say they end up being somewhere between 1-2 hours on average.
Very important to have a balance. Not worth wearing yourself out even at my age (23). Rather be the dude who can skate knee-waist high obstacles and ramps for endless years rather than a downrail jockey who has to retire 3 years into his skate life... Gym is a core element too; stretching and diet as well
My mantra is to take inspiration from both Mike V's approach as well as the street skating found in 1989-1991. Nosebonks, curb combos, one foots, Ollie grabs, etc Street plants and footplants are great too. When I was recovering from a knee injury no complies we're really good were really good for rehab. To this day the front 180 no-comply is a staple, hence the "43" in my name (43 is an archaic term for a no-comply 180)
Unfortunately, I don't get to switch up my skating often. I just don't have time to get to the park often. I've mostly been doing flatground the last few weeks (but lucky if I get one super short session a week). Just been doing some basics: reg/ fakie ollies, and reg manuals. I'll throw switch in there too. If anyone does a decent skate session, the next day you'll feel all the muscles you use when skating your normal stance. Whew, my thighs, calves, and feet were hard to get moving the next morning, lol. Def need to do more switch to "even out"
Good advice here! I wear double knee braces when I sk8. Teeter hang Ups is so key as well to keep your disc spacing aligned. Gravity boots and a pull up bar work as well holding onto weights. Check my foam roller invention if you get a chance. Keep at it
Whenever I think of myself and skateboarding in a few years I have in front of my eyes Alain Robert and his free solo at 60. Guys, stay strong stay healthy. Eat simpler but more nutritious. Don't sit in one position all the time. Take care of yourself because how much you work out earlier will bear fruit later :)
Kids need to take days off, arguably even more than adults because they are supposed to be actually GROWING. I shutter to think at all the kids and teens I see out there that probably stunt their growth because they never give their bodies time off to actually heal and recover, they just beat themselves into the ground day after day.
i think that you dont need to start these videos until you are older then the current legend pros - also Olympian mountain biker Tinker Jaurez is still pushing his body to the max at how ever old he is I think 63?
respectfully disagree. Waiting until there is an active issue before implementing strategies to improve your health is not a good approach in my opinion. Also, most skateboarders, like many other people that participate in similar activities, are not among the elite. Elite athletes, although very hard working, most certainly have genetic factors working to their advantage and other circumstances which make it unreasonable to compare yourself to as an average athlete. Being proactive in your earlier years will add more activity in your later years, not to mention quality of life.
@@frontsidehealth even pro atheles cant throw themselves off 10-20' obstacles daily and injurys/don't feel good plays a big part in what you can do on a day to day.

As a skate teacher I have to skate every day. Exercise and mobility is the only reason I can skate.
good video man, thanks. I was skating fine until I hurt my back at 47 - recovery has been slow and I need to work on muscle strength
appreciate it. I went through a back injury as well, that's what sparked taking training seriously again and it's helped tremendously. You got this.
dude! amazing! how long is each skate session?
Great question, I might make a video on this topic. I try to intentionally limit sessions to two hours unless I bring nutrition to refuel during the session. I'd say they end up being somewhere between 1-2 hours on average.
Thanks! i will be on the look out for more content. 🤘

I think we all feel that way, but just try to be better than you were yesterday, that's all we can really ask of ourselves. You got this!
@frontsidehealth I got this bro 🤙
Kids need to take days off, arguably even more than adults because they are supposed to be actually GROWING. I shutter to think at all the kids and teens I see out there that probably stunt their growth because they never give their bodies time off to actually heal and recover, they just beat themselves into the ground day after day.

Question do have kids?
i think that you dont need to start these videos until you are older then the current legend pros - also Olympian mountain biker Tinker Jaurez is still pushing his body to the max at how ever old he is I think 63?
respectfully disagree. Waiting until there is an active issue before implementing strategies to improve your health is not a good approach in my opinion. Also, most skateboarders, like many other people that participate in similar activities, are not among the elite. Elite athletes, although very hard working, most certainly have genetic factors working to their advantage and other circumstances which make it unreasonable to compare yourself to as an average athlete. Being proactive in your earlier years will add more activity in your later years, not to mention quality of life.
@@frontsidehealth even pro atheles cant throw themselves off 10-20' obstacles daily and injurys/don't feel good plays a big part in what you can do on a day to day.
Honestly woulda guessed you were in your mid 20s

It’s really rough reading the lame excuses here. Y’all need to better males.
