What's up homie, love to see my generation out there still Killin it 🤘💪 I started back at age 48, I'm 50 now. I think I love it more now than I did back then. Anyways hope you're still pushing and wanted to send some positive energy your way from southwest GA 💪 🤘
I just turned 39 with two kids chomping at the bit to hit that bowl at gateway park. It’s a pleasure to watch a fellow older skater out there having a good time. I’ll have to watch your old 90’s skate vids too and try to figure out the spots!
I’m 44 and your skating looks almost identical to mine. At this age we’ll never be as good as we want to be but with age there is the appreciation for what we can do and the knowledge that A Lot of other people our age can’t do it. We’re masters in our own time. Keep skating dude!
Right on. Age ain't shit. I'll be 49 in April this year, and I'm skating better than I have at any age. And I'm progressing. I kinda want to see if I can get sponsored at age 50+. I'll still get in the van for demos/tours (on my vacation weeks)
Heck yeah dude. I'm right there there with you at age 47. I took a bad slam on my face and broke my arm about 9 months ago. After that I got a case of CRPS which is where the nerves basically keep acting like the injury just happened and they stay in the pain state. Needless to say it's been a nightmare but it finally seems to be getting better with a diet change and lots of therapy.. I'm determined to be skating again by spring.
Im 44 havent skateboarded since my early 20's My son is 12 and I am making it my mission to get him out doors so WE bought new boards and he is giving it a whirl. He also said he'd like to try surfing which I also loved as a young guy.so next spring thats the mission .
He he , with you on this, 49 and faling on my ass every warm up session but a warm up session is not complete untill ive fell on my ass a few times...lol Had a big break due to being pregnant and a kiddlet being born in 2014/15 and started up again during covid just to get said kiddlet out of the house to burn up some energy. Its weird after you have kids that the big commit to the harder stuff is a bit bigger/harder to do now but im busting through them. Might be that i know that mums dont get a day off if i bust myself up AGAIN but in the last year ive been skating the 12ft sheet metal bmx vert ramp and the bowl again at the local park but i helmet and pad right up now as mums dont get days off and i have to set a good example. That first drop in was enough to give me more grays, kiddlet doing it almost gave me a cardiac arrest .. lol Stick at it, you wont regret it and word of advice, 30 min every day is better than an 2hrs session once a week to build up the old muscle memory and stamina again and always end on a high note. You wont regret it. Kiddlet is now 7 and she is on her well on way to being a good little skater her always self, pushing me on with her fearlessness of youth to keep up with all that bloody energy she has... SHIT they dont bloody stop and she is as insane as i was as a kid thats bloody scary now... lol Ive grown a healthy fear...she needs one! 👊The family that skates together, stays together 👊 🤘Skate for life !🤘
You’re awesome brother! It’s never too late to rip at the skatepark. Look at Rodney Mullen and Tony Hawk, still killing it in their older age on a regular basis. Have fun and be safe man.
I tried but too hard for me haha. I took up mountain biking again at 36 and started doing jumps for the first time even small gaps. In certain places/times most people seem over 40. Mountain bikers always wear helmets though. 😊 I wear hip protectors on every single ride. We got full suspension to mellow out the hits, try it ! Take care of your body and it’ll take care of you.
Yeah buddy! I'll be 50 in a week, and still love skating. For me, it's the fear (blew out my knee in 2001 skating) of falling and concentrating on committing. So much more information nowadays online, and that's awesome. Keep shredding!
That’s awesome I was an instructor at vans skatepark Orlando back when it was open I ran the pro camp and skate camp and I’m getting back on it too I’m disappointed I stopped because I had to work two jobs but now getting back on I’m recording it to show old dudes still got it too 🤘🏼👀🛹💪
I turned 40 a month ago. I like to think of it as I am creating NEW glory days on the board. Shred on brother! ps. that ride on rail looks fun as hell!
Right on! I picked it back up at 32 and within 2 weeks landed on my head and gave myself a concussion, and got an overextension strain on my elbow, which gave me like a 4” range of motion for 2 weeks. Anything beyond that range was brutal pain. Still have my kickflips and other simple tricks tho.
Keep rolling. Just keep rolling. Have fun & go fast. Just keep rolling. Maybe get some cheap knee pads. I got some tileing knee pads from harbor freight for like 7.99. Still got my Harbinger & 187s though.
This is me but you're a bit better! Yesterday I told a guy at the skatepark that I hadnt skated for 30 years; he couldnt quite compute that but was friendly haha
I would love to take slams. But in 04 I destroyed 3 discs in spine. 1 gone, 2 others half gone. They bulge into nerves making incredible pain. After nearly 20 years I had to stop overnight. My Mental health suffered badly. It was my crutch to get through life. Anyway, look after yourselves. When it's gone u will miss it.
One thing though is to not confuse poor health and lifestyle habits with age. Age obviously brings about changes we need to be aware of, but don’t confuse a lifetime of physical abuse to the body vs age alone. It’s not just good genes that some people are active for many years longer than others. Take risks, but take precautions with those risks.
Thanks I don’t know what took me so long to get back out but now I realized I’m super out of shape, I should’ve landed most of those and tried other stuff
I know we just met. And skateboarding is awesome at all... But at our age got to watch out for that concrete getting you. About 3 years ago I got a one wheel, and it was the best purchase ever. I highly recommend if you get a chance to try one do it. It's seriously a freedom machine
I bet you slept like a baby that day :D Man, I had to let it go at 40.. one bad kickflip took me 3 months to heal from. Only longboards for me these days
You're still hella good man. Once the muscle memory starts to kick in even more im sure the more fun you'll have as well. Keep it brotha, love to see it. Also, what year you start skating?
@@biggkoz yep that's the truth for sure. I used to think I was the only kid who had the secret idea of dreaming I would be the one freak who would never get old. Turns out that was really common haha. Still I'm 42 and skating a few times a week. 42 feels way better than I expected it to feel at 20.
@@Codisrocks cheers mate. When I was 25 I was embarrassed to be the older skate boarder locally. Now at middle age I couldn't care less what other people think and having just as much fun as ever. Turns out I'm not the only one though, loads of older skaters these days!
When ya get warmed up, bust a couple frontside rock&rolls. Lookin good man. Again, Just Keep Rolling. Rat Bones & china reds. Indy makes great bearings for 20+ dollars.
I'm 38, my boy is 7. We gonna start skateboarding together from the base. He got a board to his bday and I asked: "would you feel like rollin with dad?" So that was the beginning :D
I'm 36, I can still kick, heel, tre, 50-50 but I want to do more, just got a rail from amazon so hopefully I can get better too, one thing I did notice, fk me my balance was shit lol
I’m 27 lol I haven’t skated since my freshman year highschool , been skating for 2 weeks now and I just took a fall and man my age notices the diffrence 😩🤣
Just wait, at 45 I nearly broke my left hip on a vert wall. Broken wrists (46, 47), broken ankles (45, 48), broken ribs (46, 47), dislocated shoulder (47) - none of those felt good but it hasn't stopped me!
Dude: Skate ≥2hrs per week and it will mostly all come back. Take it from a 48 year old who knows. Don't forget to stretch after skating before your body cools down.
Yep if I had more time this week I’m sure I could remember some tricks but sadly it’s currently snowing. Also I forgot to stretch after and my pushing leg is still stiff
40 Myself and am ripping again. Granted I cant do what I could in the 90s like treyflip a 6 set or handrails anymore, but still pushing it. Never too late to get back into it.

There's no age limit to do awesome stuff.
Take a hipper after 40 and come back and tell me that again.
@@palestalemale8831 after 40? Shit hurt well beyond late 20s lol. Fucking bone chips still in my hip. 40 now. Takes me an entire day to warm up
Broke leg in tony hawk style for example...and delay your mortgage patment for example)
The older one gets the more awesome anything you do is 😊
In my 40s too and thinking of trying out for the first time, haha!

I’m late 30s. Still love skateboarding. It will always have a place in my heart ❤️
I just turned 39 with two kids chomping at the bit to hit that bowl at gateway park. It’s a pleasure to watch a fellow older skater out there having a good time. I’ll have to watch your old 90’s skate vids too and try to figure out the spots!
The older we get, the more we can get away with early grabs. Like handicap parking, haha!
Brilliant, I just started again myself at the age of 45 and loving it, after 3 months landing 360 flips again so really happy
In Dayton, Ohio we have 50 year olds who rip. I’m 42 and get looked at as a youngster.
Keep it up my guy!!! 🔥🔥🔥
only in ohio
I need to find you! I'm 48, just outside of Cincinnati. 😁
@@mr.dadskates1068 come shred Dayton. It’s a great scene here.
@@DaytonJoey I love DC Plaza! Haven't skated in Dayton since 1991 - took 22 years off skating😏
@I Taught Jay Z How To Rap don’t forget guided by voices and yes the girls are the best. 🔥🔥😂
I'm a youngman and i love watching vids like this for some werid reason 😂😂
bro youre killer. please dont lose that fire to keep skating!!!
I'm 47 still skate loved watching this keep it up 🤛
Thanks 👍
much respect - dudes like this are what made skateboarding what it is today.
So I’m not the only one. Respect
42 , grew up skating in LA in the 90s. Still trying but I have two fing herniated discs lol
Same here but in san diego in 1988 but in ohio now n slaying more than ever now..

that second skatepark is one of the most interesting parks ive ever seen lol
It’s brand new, they just built it where one of the old Ford plants were in Saint Paul yeah definitely something I haven’t seen before either
Heck yeah dude. I'm right there there with you at age 47. I took a bad slam on my face and broke my arm about 9 months ago. After that I got a case of CRPS which is where the nerves basically keep acting like the injury just happened and they stay in the pain state. Needless to say it's been a nightmare but it finally seems to be getting better with a diet change and lots of therapy.. I'm determined to be skating again by spring.
Hope you are doing better now. and please wear a helmet !
Hope you recovered well homie. At 50 even the minor slams beat me up.💪🤘
Sorry, I laughed when you bodied the pad 🤣😁
It was a smooth slam 😀
Im 44 havent skateboarded since my early 20's My son is 12 and I am making it my mission to get him out doors so WE bought new boards and he is giving it a whirl. He also said he'd like to try surfing which I also loved as a young guy.so next spring thats the mission .

*late 40s dude lives his life
Nice work! I’m 45 and still progressing on a skateboard. Age is just a number. 👊
late 30s and just realising that if I don't land a kickflip relatively soon, I'm never going to

i'm in my early thirties and just just starting (skated briefly in my teens). thanks for the vid; it's inspiring!
still shredding
Stillll got it..
Nice work ✌️
You're pretty good man, I'm 45 and I've been skating again after a long hiatus too. Those parks look pretty cool too.
I was off a board for 22 years. Not stopping again!
This skatepark looks so lit keep shredding man
We need to show the kids what’s up! Cool video I’m 39 getting back on good to see I’m not the only one 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼thanks for sharing bro!
I enjoy helping the young ones learn - and show them what's really up when you get old!
That’s awesome I was an instructor at vans skatepark Orlando back when it was open I ran the pro camp and skate camp and I’m getting back on it too I’m disappointed I stopped because I had to work two jobs but now getting back on I’m recording it to show old dudes still got it too 🤘🏼👀🛹💪
You'd be surprised how much can come back!
Yeah I started remembering stuff in my second video but I’m still out of shape
Thank you
Automatically liked and subscribed, because this is awesome. Your stoke level is contagious!
Everytime I think about starting back skating I twist my ankle somehow and am reminded how fragile they are and change my mind.
Yeah I’m due for another ankle injury 😀
I turned 40 a month ago. I like to think of it as I am creating NEW glory days on the board. Shred on brother! ps. that ride on rail looks fun as hell!
Yo! This is the Little Canada park! I'm there all the time in the summers. Its a cozy fun park that doesn't attract too many people. Love from MN ❤
Dang!! I’m not from that area (I live in the Twin Cities) but I knew this must be from MN just by the terrain.
Lol I just realized how dumb this comment is because that park is literally in st Paul😵💫 clearly I don’t even know my own area yikes
i'm 40 and just getting back into it. always had a board laying around but man it slips away if you don't use it
You are doing pretty good dude. I'm not your age yet but think I would still struggle.
Mid 40s here … trying to get it like you man keep goin for it!
Right on! I picked it back up at 32 and within 2 weeks landed on my head and gave myself a concussion, and got an overextension strain on my elbow, which gave me like a 4” range of motion for 2 weeks. Anything beyond that range was brutal pain. Still have my kickflips and other simple tricks tho.
I'm 43, and I still go out skating with my son. My knees hurt but I still go.
Yep I’m starting to feel the knee stuff more
Keep rolling. Just keep rolling. Have fun & go fast. Just keep rolling. Maybe get some cheap knee pads. I got some tileing knee pads from harbor freight for like 7.99. Still got my Harbinger & 187s though.
I feel yah bro.
(Skating at 50).
This is me but you're a bit better!
Yesterday I told a guy at the skatepark that I hadnt skated for 30 years; he couldnt quite compute that but was friendly haha
Wow that’s a long time of not skating
I was off a board for 22 years, two of my kids got me back on during the pandemic, not stopping again!
Nice skating. The scariest thing were the twigs. You need a broom bro...😅
In my 20s getting back into it. You’re doing better than me man!
Man gtfoh in my 20s
Go for yours bro I wish I could I miss it soooo much
i just watched cause thats what it looks like when I skate now. You might be a little more limber than me actually🤣
I would love to take slams. But in 04 I destroyed 3 discs in spine. 1 gone, 2 others half gone. They bulge into nerves making incredible pain. After nearly 20 years I had to stop overnight. My Mental health suffered badly. It was my crutch to get through life. Anyway, look after yourselves. When it's gone u will miss it.
Ouch
Ripping has no age limit
Bro I feel your pain, slamming hurts alot worse once you hit a certain age.

I started in 1988 and pretty skated everyday until about 2000
Richtiges Spass......Alles Im Ordnung!!
I tried that in my 30s. All i revived was my joint pain.
I just started again in my 30s.

hell yah
I’m 42 & still skate
stretch stretch , me skating switch in the park is good enough for workout and some slappies no need to ollie verticals take a lot of enrgy when old
More!
No kickflip....
I actually never used to do standard kickflips, I prefer a rolling 180 kickflip off of flat. I’ll try a few this spring.
