- Well, this should be interesting! Skateboarding used to be a huge part of my life. Over the last decade I've only skated a handful of times.
My hopes are to get back into skateboarding, while also being realistic about it! I'm hoping to eventually progress back to where I was when I phased out.
I really don't know what to expect with this video (or series), but I thought it would be a good motivator for me. You all seriously rock, and always throw awesome support my way! If you have any ideas for what to try next, definitely let me know!
Episode 5 - • Relearning Skateboardi...
As always, stay strong Spartans!

For the past few years I have fallen victim to "The Big Machine" - meaning I've been swamped with school, trying to build my career, trying to build my credit score..all that stuff. I'm stressed. Straight up. Recently a childhood friend got back in touch with me and said he would like for us to go to the skate park once a month just to mentally detoxify. I'm super pumped about it. Skating used to be my thing as a kid. It was my first love for sure. It's so cool to see you doing these videos man. Very inspirational. Thanks for posting this.
Hey Jesse, thanks for taking the time to share your story. I'm happy you enjoyed the video bud! I hope things calm down for you soon, life can definitely get pretty busy sometimes. I think it's great that you reconnected with a childhood friend who also enjoyed skateboarding. I stay in touch with a bunch of the dudes I grew up with skating and it's definitely helped when I hop back on the board from time to time. I'm hoping to upload the first skate video in a long time to my channel this coming week (with more on the way). Take it easy!
Just board my first board after a 17 year gap. The biggest hurdle for me is stamina. After a few ollies I feel like I've just run a marathon! Nice video, I watch things like this to keep me motivated. Especially as I don't know anyone who skates.
That's awesome man.. it's never too late! Best of luck out there and thanks for sharing. I've actually been meaning to hop back on the board myself before winter hits.
I am 48 years old and started back a month ago. I love it , I thought I wouldn't k ow anything. But first day I could still ollie. And bs 180 and fs 180 . But my knees take longer to set up for tricks. I look crazy, and after 10 minutes or so I have to stop and catch my breath.
That's awesome, congrats! My knees definitely can feel it every now and then as well. Best of luck!
Makes me wanna get back on my board Spartan! Vert is the scariest to re-learn in my opinion. Falling now is so much worse than it was when I was a 120lb middle schooler lol.
Do it! But yeah, vert definitely always terrified me.. maybe I'll try dropping in for a future video! And I agree about the age jump.. my deck grazed my shin and when I got home later in the day I was shocked by the apple size lump that had formed!
i just got back at skating last weekend after 8 years off the board, i now ordered a new complete and cant wait to skate it and get some footage to post on youtube, i still have it in me. i like that people are getting back into skateboarding, im 33 btw.
That's awesome! Best of luck getting back into it. I just got on the board again a few days ago. Fun stuff!
anyone else search "How to get back into skateboarding?"
dom martucci me bro I stopped in 2016 but I had hurt my self so I stopped and now I can’t even ride but I’m gonna start again
About to order me a complete... I miss it too much and i am scared if i wait any longer it would be too late
Nice! Best of luck man. I've been back on the board off and on since this video, definitely not as much as I would like though. I have some more footage, just need to get around to editing it.
fuk yea. im 35. just started sk8ing about 2 months ago. i also stopped about decade ago. sk8ing was my life. relearning is the process im in rite now too. good stuff bro
Noel Favela I'm thinking about restarting also.. 🤔 watching all those videos on yt brings up so many awesome memories
Noel Favela
how's your learning experience so far ?today's my first day after a 10 year break and I'm 29. I'm getting comfortable with my board and doing shuv its. I'm relearning the ollies
Noel Favela 32 here...today i did my first kickflip after 15 years break..i will get myself board i think
Noel Favela stop using "sk8ting" lmao jk
hows the relearning ?
Had dreams the last three nights about getting back on the board. Seems like a sign. Too bad it's November and I live in Michigan.
Its a sign for sure! I'm in southern Ohio, definitely chilly.. I'm sure it's a lot colder up there. I'm hoping to layer up and get a session or two in this month. Best of luck bud!
Been wanting to get back into skating for about a week now. Thanks for the video man really appreciate it
For sure man! Sorry I haven't had many other videos as of late. Definitely go for it though and just ease in, don't overdo it.
Just keep pushing brother......I just hit 41...
But there's nothing like that feeling......
Imma keep going till I cant.....👍👍
For sure! It's all about progression and FUN. Take it easy bud!
I’m so happy reading these comments. It’s been 7 years since I’ve skated. I recently got on my nephews board to show him basics and now I’m buying a board and some fucking pads(lol) thanks for the videos my guy!
Every year the same thing happens to me. I get super into skating during fall and until like June or July and then I don’t skate until the summer is over because it’s like 105 where I am
you definitely are starting with a pretty solid foundation. I'm relearning a well after 25 year break. I'm not as good as you though. great videos
I appreciate it bud! That's awesome you are getting back into it. Best of luck to you and the lady out there!
sick video spartan
Following along, just picked it up again.
Nice! I'm about to pick the board back up again and get some more content rolling… someday! Best of luck dude!
Sick moves spartan!!
Thanks bzar! I'm going to keep at it bud!
I actually just started skating and then you uploaded this lol.
Nice! I definitely will try to stick with it.
Funhaussssss.
I’m getting back into too after 16 years. Torn ACL is making it challenging lol
Awesome! I hear that bud.. take it slow with that injury for sure. I've skated 3 times in the last week.. can't tell you the last time that happened. I'll try to crank out some new footage. Good luck!
I am 29 and after 5 years of no skateboarding, I’m getting back in the game lmao
hi i used to skateboard i was not good i knew more than the basic but i am afraid to do it cause i got an tendon operation on my hand i dont want it to break again does anyone have tips to get into skateboarding?
Nice
I loved this video bro!
Thanks, Kyle! I hope to make another in the fall.
Real Life Spartan hell ya man. I did the same thing as you. I stopped at about 18 started again the day I watched this! Learned several tricks I could never do and I'm challenging myself to be better and better and fight my fears! Love it man keep em coming !
Feels like 6 or 7 years since i skated. One of these days...
Gotta love revive decks
For sure!
0:09 welcome to the hydraulic press channel :DDD
ISORIKAS i dont get it
Im realerning!
moar skate videos!!! ;)
Yo I really want to start skateboarding again but i have no motivation what should i do?
Hey Thunderz, I watched a handful of local skateboard videos that I grew up with. Some of my friends actually still skateboard quite a bit, so that didn't hurt either. I would say start small and try to remove expectations of nailing tricks consistently like you probably used to, it'll be a lot more enjoyable for you (it was for me). Good luck!
Real Life Spartan thanks
Didnt skate in almost 8 years because of some knee problems I developed due to my biggest hobbies as a kid being football(soccer) and skateboarding, which are both bad for your knees. But fuck it lol I miss it way too much. So gonna go buy a board, cause the one I have now is ancient lol
Best of luck, man! It's always great seeing the skate park by me full with the next generation of skaters. Glad the sport is still thriving.
last time i skated was when i jump off and a truck and fell thx man
Sounds like a good time. Hope you are alright Spartan! I haven't been on the board since April, still have it though and plan on getting back on it soon! Thanks for the support, Alex!
My problem is I don’t want to fall I have a long and normal board 😢 but I still have the Urge to skate 😂😂 I just don’t want to fallll 😭😭😭
You deserve more subs
Thanks, Waffles! I'm looking forward to uploading more skateboarding content soon. I'm glad you enjoyed the videos bud, keep eating those waffles!
Real Life Spartan I eat pancakes because if I ate waffles that would be cannibalism.
Backside almost anything scares me..
every since I learned varial kickflip I can't pop shuv as good
I've had this happen a handful of times over the years. It's almost like muscle memory - at least for me. My front foot still tends to want to initiate the "flick". Try focusing on just "swooping" the board 180 degrees with your back foot and keep your front foot less active with movement. Hope this helps!
Me today it's 5 am rn
40th like YAY me
Thanks, PDog! I have quite a bit of footage to edit and upload from recent sessions!
u show the noobs Wat they need to know
