Getting My Grinds Back! | Inline skating at 63

- You guys said it in the comments and I finally listened! Go with what works and dial that in before trying something new. Went back to my original left foot back soul grinds and had a pretty successful day on the P-rail. Now if I can take it to the park again.
Nice rolling 💪🏼😁 I am 46 years old and still blade and skiing freestyle 😎 ages only numbers 😊
we're about the same age, but I'm blading and skateboarding. trying to anyways. I want to get all the basics by the end of summer
@@merlebump5328 ok. I order new blade mesmer john bolino it's ok blade but little bit hard 🤔 I must fix it warm and skate more 💪🏼
Yea, I am feeling a little worse for the wear today though, took a nasty spill on the skateboard yesterday and tweaked my knee - ugggggg. That seems to happen more and more as I get older, just can't move quick enough to catch myself.
Fair play man, got there with the Soul 💪🏼 I struggle to skate at 41 nowadays let alone 63!
The struggle is there for sure. I would love to be able to do more, but my body just won't cooperate!
So cool. I hope that I will have your energy at that age. Love from Lithuania
I definitely don't have as much as I used to, but you have to keep pushing or you will lose it all!
Ayyy nice job keep it up man!!!
Thank you!
Looking good! I'm 42 and getting back into it. For the driveway warm up, I do some dynamic stretches including those squats you mentioned. I sometimes add in jumping jacks, but most of the warm up is skating back and forth for a few laps. I include heel and toe rolls in the laps, some backward, etc just anything I can manage to use different muscles. Then for the rail, I test it out and do some stalls before committing to a real grind.
Thanks! That's what I try to do and it just never feels like I get warmed up without some transition skating. I guess at the park its just more fun to warm up and I manage to do it longer and feel better.
Amazing progress!!
Thanks! Now if I could just take it to the skatepark.
You rock!
Looking great, you mentioned some videos ago you considered maybe raising the P-rail a little bit. Maybe that's an option if you wanna continue expanding that side if it's starting to feel too easy. Anyway, great video!
I have raised it up 4 inches and have a video of that in the backlog, hopefully coming out soon. I am trying to work on getting up on the rail at the park. That one is a little over a foot high and those last few inches make all the difference in the world to me.
I used to do a lot of things like BMX, skateboarding and roller skating in the 1980's, but those things fell to the wayside by the time I was in my 30's and focused on relationships and career.
Now in my 40's I have money and more free time to begin rollerblading.
I have done a bunch of sports over my lifetime and only picked up blading last year with my son and it has been a blast. I think you will enjoy it, the 40's were a great decade for me.
Grinding a practice rail that low is easy to jump on, but there is no time to save yourself when you miss. I had a bike rack I would go to. Could grind the bottom rail, but could grab the top rail to keep from falling.
Yep, the falling is getting to me a bit. I have raised it up 4 inches and have a new video with that somewhere in the backlog, hope to get that out soon.
That soul is looking very solid! Well done mate
👏👏👏 The flat ground 180s are 👍👍👍
They scare me in the driveway, never sure when I will hit a stick or rock! Hit a stick on the skateboard last week and took a really nasty spill.
Got some nice souls. Try a 180 out. Actually, it's only like a 90 degrees out
I have raised the box up 4 inches and I can 180 out of that (sometimes) I have a video of that coming out soon I hope.
Consider starting in your shoes an a crack on the ground to warm up.. then do some jumping in your shoes over the box then get your skates on
That's a great idea, I'll give that a try!
Box jumps are also another good cross training or warm up exercise !
@@ashleyrutledge7864 As long as the box is really low! I have tried box jumps of varying heights and they really hurt my bad knee if over about 12 inches but warming up on the rail would be a great way to do them.
@@theaverageoldguy definitely feel free to modify and do what works with your body! When I was in PT they always emphasized to modify to what’s comfortable, and pain isn’t comfortable! Start low, start slow, and enjoy the journey. Also, beautiful soul grinds ! Very solid
@@ashleyrutledge7864 Probably a good thing we don't skate together, I would pester you constantly if I knew you had a PT background!
