Adventures in Skateboarding At 40 Plus
США
Добавлен 30 сен 2011
DEC 2017 the Adventure Started
DEC 2023 equals 6 Years of Skateboarding
FEB 2024 equals 6 years of RUclips
Now and Forever equals Never Quit 💯
Adventures in Skateboarding @40+ is more than a skateboarding progression channel. It is about all of us learning new things, making time for what we enjoy, and proving to ourselves that there is still more to do. It is mindset and a community regardless of age.
My intent is to make a video when I feel I have something to offer. I understand your time is valuable. This channel is NOT monetized. This is just for SKATEBOARDING 🛹🙏
I appreciate everyone that takes the time to watch the videos. It is not about the number of subscribers to me. It is about sharing with a community that is interested in what I am sharing, communicating in the comments and beyond, and following your adventures as well. Thank you for your Skate support.

Learn to Skate the Bowl, YOU CAN DO THIS at 40 Plus
What size wheels did you go with?
56mm Dragons. There is a full setup video if you are interested. This board is a good time. Too good really, I just keep skating it. I need to get back on my regular board and put in some work, but this thing is fun.
Heck yeah brother! love to see older skaters still rocking and skating! I took a super long break from skating but im finally fully back into it at 38 and slowly just ramping back my body up to shape for skating! been documenting my own journey on YT and instagram. love to see the egg. i had similar thoughts and bought an egg as well (fried egg 3.0) but really didn't click with it. the nose and tail were waaay too tapered and the tail was down right tiny! was under 6"!! i kinda decided to swear off eggs altogether but now im r econsidering and thinking of picking up a even bigger symmetrical one instead hoping that would make it work. ive gone through mutiple tests to see what i like and i think i'm getting close to the right setup. wider board with short wheelbase is really the best combo keep skating brother will keep watching your journey
Welcome back to skating. The best part about doing it as adults is we have the resources to try it all. I thought this would just be a fun board to have. Honestly, I can't stop skating it. I have to leave it at home or I won't skate my regular board and work on progression 😂. It really is a great time. Still no heelflips on it. I will check out your channel. I am always interested in the journey. Stay Rad
I just found my old Neil Blender deck in my parents house
🫨🛹🙏
Hell yeaaaaaaa
Appreciate you checking it out.
My man's getting switch tricks out here!! Working on a heelflip myself, great work brother!! 🛹🐀
Appreciate you my friend. Stay Rad 🐀🛹
Black Label still makes a lot of wider boards. I won’t ride anything under 9”.
Out of all the board I have skated, I still haven't skated a Black Label. I will add it to the short list. Stay Rad
ive got one, i run mine with indy trucks and slimeball wheels, best pool board i have used
Awesome. I just changed up my fibreflex team rider with Indy and OG Cadillacs for the bowl. Love that we can still ride these as they were intended. Stay Rad
@@AdventuresInSkateboarding it may be out the running for my best board since im waiting on a tony alva complete
@kevinmorrice Nice what Alva did you go with? I have the lost 78 but setup with newer ACE trucks. Have a short hill bomb video on it. Honestly I never really take it out, but I sure like having it 😂
@@AdventuresInSkateboarding i went for the urban guerrilla
@@kevinmorrice rad
I was looking at those shoes. Do you like em?
I do like them. I normally don't like a low top shoe, but these felt good. More like a light athletic shoe. For the money the NB1010 was a much better shoe. Currently in the Ishod 2. I am not a Nike guy at all, but these shoes are great.
Do you have a map pin for this place???
It is this one maps.app.goo.gl/YEiWEMkchHzhzr7r8 In the description of my channel there is a map showing all the skateparks. I didn't make it, but it helped me find all the parks while I was living there.
No way!!!! I love AFI. I need this
It is a rad one. Far better than the Britney Spears boards welcome just dropped 😂
@@AdventuresInSkateboarding lmao
my heart was filled with beautiful and good energy. I respect and support the excellence of your sensibility.
Solid feedback, I appreciate you.
Tracker trucks makes a truck called the Dart and it's widest model is 219mm(11.25")wide.That swampy wideboy is a symmetrical egg which is kinda confusing since the money bumps are not on all four corners of deck.
I will check out the trackers if I go bigger, thanks. Yes the money bumps make it not a true egg to me. I ride it as if the money bumps are the tail of the board. I don't treat it like a symmetrical board. I absolutely love it. I should be going out for sessions and working on progression on my 8.5 but I just keep skating this thing. Stay Rad Sir.
What you can do to make that deck last twice as long since you are going to skate it like a directional deck is to just switch the trucks from front to back when the tail gets razored unless you do tons of nollies the nose should be fresh enough to make the nose the tail but you know trucks wear different from front to back so gotta switch
@willydicker2656 absolutely 💯
Awesome progression! This is a scary one for me.
It is different for sure. I still haven't truly locked it in. I need to figure it out. But it is fun. I am trying to figureout slappy tail and that has been challenging. We just keep pushing.
@@AdventuresInSkateboarding I have no doubt you’ll get it locked in sooner than later! Being comfortable with the motion makes a massive difference and I’d say you’re there!
I'm 47 and am now a month or so back into skating after a 30 plus year hiatus. I wear full gear cause I also cannot afford to selfishly get hurt. Thank you for you inspirational and informative videos. Keep shredding!🤘🏼
Welcome back. Honestly the best thing I have done for myself as an adult. I believe making time for ourselves is the best thing we can do for others. Absolutely pad up. We have to pay the bills tomorrow and we want to skate tomorrow. We get an old man pass on pads anyway 😂. Thanks for checking out the channel and for the feedback. Stay Rad Sir.
Done
Or just getting started ?
sweet monster truck you made
The smaller wheels keep it reasonable. Anything bigger would be out of control. But she skates. Thanks for checking it out. Stay Rad
this is showing up on my feed again, I remember this day haha. Good times. Missing north carolina!!
Good times for sure. Missing the bowl.
how do you find the wide boi ? Pros? Cons?
Well the Con is, I cannot flip it 😂😂. The pro is, it is absolutely just a good time. It is fun. I feel like the pressure of skating hard goes away in it and I can just relax and take what the session gives me. Hard to explain. Absolutely love it.
Cool board... ...ive got some old tbones red ones..lol i just took them off an old board i was still riding since the late 80s. ...😮 wheels are alittle beat..but still roll and work fine lol
T Bones were rad. I would love to find a set. People want 400-600 dollars for a nice set. Hopefully they will get reissued someday. Thanks for checking out the video. Stay Rad
I don’t need an egg I don’t need an egg I don’t need an egg (Watches video) F@ck it I’m getting an egg!
That was me in the shop 😂. It was easy to say no until it was in front of me with 3 brands of the right size trucks to pick from. You Sir will love it.
@@AdventuresInSkateboarding I’m debating on just going all in and getting one of the eggzillas
@bigdeckenergy8119 you definitely have the skillzzz for that. Go Big D Energy it go Home 😂.
Sick board build❤
Appreciate you checking it out. It is a fun board to skate. It makes me feel young again. Stay Rad
@@AdventuresInSkateboarding im checking out your most recent vid… I want to try one of those eggs boards now haha. I just picked up a 1985 meek slasher as my first board ever and am loving it alot
That is rad. When I started 6.5 years ago I picked up the Hawk Claw board. It was the last board I had when I stopped skating in 89. I love that we can find our OGs now and relive that time. The EGG is a blast.
@@AdventuresInSkateboarding I was born in 89 so I alway wanted to experience all the cool things I missed in the 80s. I’ll keep watching your vids my OG
@DavidVidaurri appreciate you. Hopefully it is entertaining if nothing else.
oh boy, thats really a wide boy! The day you released this video i saw they will be releasing 13" and 14.125" heroin boards this fall 😯
I would absolutely be down to try a bigger one. However, what trucks would you use? This board is really fun. I have been playing with it much more than I have been skating for progression. Stay Rad Sir.
Sorry for being late but awesome video dude
Never late. The videos live here forever. Thanks for being interested. Appreciate you.
@@AdventuresInSkateboarding no problem dude
These Heroin eggs are nothing like the pointy nosed 90's eggs. They have huge wide kicks and decent concave. Looks like a blast - I'll have to try them one day!
Most of this went way over my head but there's nothing like a new toy - whether you're 8 or 88! YYYYYEEEEEEEWWWWWWWW!!! :)
That's It 😂🙏
The more I watch, the more impressed I am! Bit shocked you're into heroin though... :)
Im 47 and skate eight inch popsicle decks tried bigger boards but I prefer a skinny deck. Wouldn't mind trying a mini egg deck. That looks huge.
It is big but skatible, well minus the heelflips 😂. I like trying different boards. However, my normal board is an 8.5 Popsicle or an 8.75 shaped board. I like the 8.75 for the bigger nose. The best thing about being 47 is we can go out and get and try new things 🙏. Stay Rad Sir. Let me know if you try the mini egg.
@@AdventuresInSkateboarding I have tried the 7.9. egg before but cause I have size 11 feet felt like nose and tail was too small. Like a bigger nose like slide tricks skating a Just under eight inch zero at present.
Yes , the pointy nose and tail would definitely be challenging. The nose is the number one thing I look at when buying a board. Even old school boards.
have you been to carolina beach park since they expanded it? i just went last weekend and the bowl there is perfect learning space. im so close to axle stalls/5050s since starting back skatin after 10+ years at 34. im better now than i ever was...hope to see ya at rowan sometime!! cheers
I haven't been there. Thanks, I will try and check it out. We have a big bowl in Fayetteville. Florence has a great bowl. Love going down there.
sometimes when I introduce myself I say I am mike v to see the reaction........ i came up with this alias because we both do Ho Ho s of course I have other alias ......"Jack and Jill," Metal Mike, Grass hopper , And Josh Mosh oh yea one more .....647 f which is the penal code for drunk in public when deer man of dark woods and baaku hit the seen we did our own version of the barrier cult which reminds me ....where s your beer?

Have a rad birthday. 🍻👊🙏. I like the evolution of Mike V the human. Moreso I respect how hard he skated DEMOs. All in‼️ No beers on the short videos. I am in and out. I am trying to mix up the videos a bit Short long, nerd skate stuff or just skating. Downhill video coming soon. Have a Rad birthday.
@@AdventuresInSkateboarding thankx man
💪
🙏💯
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 awesome, but this size for me is to big
It is very big, but really fun. I like to change things up and see how it inspires me to skate. Stay Rad
@@AdventuresInSkateboarding I assume slides and grinds feel good. But flipping is hard
I couldn't Heelflip it but you saw in the video my friend treflip it. So, I guess it is all about skill.
@@AdventuresInSkateboarding yes flipping as hell 🤙
@@elSegundoTF 💯
i ride a 10.5 deck but its tail is a 7, that egg is MASSIVE hoooly
What do you skate? It is massive but oddly a really good time. Stay Rad.
@@AdventuresInSkateboarding I skate a zero x misfits coffin deck, it's pretty cool. Everyone I've seen skate these big eggs say that their really fun. I really wanna try them but I don't really have that kinda money
Coffins are cool. I haven't skated a coffin. I need to get one for the quiver. Stay Rad Sir
Nice!
A good time for sure. 🛹🙏
That deck is massive. "That's what she said." Haha. Thanks for the shout-out! ❤
You would have a good time on one of these. Absolutely my pleasure on the shout-out. Glad you watched the video enough to see it.
Very good skating in spite of that rolling patio! 😁 For real, I think for certain tricks you can benefit from the extra stability, but I think that the heel flip attempts showed the downside of that massive board.
Yes, the Heelflip may be a bridge too far. I am going to keep trying it. It is timing issue on my part that I need to figure out. Probably has something to do with my sketchy Ollie 😂. It is a really fun board. I can see why people love them. Stay Rad Sir. You did get a shout-out in the setup Video.
@@AdventuresInSkateboarding the ollie, the hardest trick of them all! 😀
@@fd_skate absolutely
the shuv out is so sick
It took about 20 tries. I couldn't figure out the front foot placement to get the shuv. Now I am trying to get a 360 Shuv out.
Nice session 👍
Happy the board isn't too hard to toss around. I skated the bowl with it yesterday, it surfs well. I guess a cub session is next. It is just a fun board to skate.
47 and still killing it!
Hopefully we are just getting started 💯🙏. Stay Rad
Man that board looks huge, you got a few decent tricks on it though! Just realised I'm watching part 2 first, gonna have to go back and watch the setup video now 🤣👌
There are no rules. I made 2 videos because some just like the skating and others like setup videos. I appreciate you checking them out. It is a fun board. Stay Rad
47 year old skater here. I love setting up and customising skateboards, and slowly getting better at gripping boards.
Team 47 💯. I love setting up boards. Each board comes with new possibilities. I have over 35 boards and they are all set up differently. I need to do a video sharing all my completes. (It is an addiction 😂) Thanks for checking out the video. Stay Rad Sir
Having that many boards is outlandish
@Deathcatclub for sure. It is a problem, an addiction.
Man I must have bought a dozen egg boards in the past 12 months and I haven’t got one of those stickers with any of them
Dude 😂 you should right to them and use my video as exhibit A. 😂
So much board, you killed it mate. Noseslide Shuv was super clean.
It took like 20 tries. It takes a lot of Shuv 😂. The Heelflip may be a bridge too far but going to keep trying it.
Snowboard size. Taking me back to 1985.. Priceless
I ride a lot of 80s boards crazy how much bigger .75 can be. The board really fun. I go out to skate with my street setup but the. End up playing on the egg all session. Thanks for checking it out. 💯🙏
Great vid 👌 and can I just say that is a very thick board 😅
She is a big girl. Stay Rad Sir
