Skateboarding in my 40's: Mini Ramp Session and Some Weekend Fun
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 сен 2024
- Finally got the chance to skateboard a normal mini ramp this past weekend, despite the brutal weather here in the northeast. The intense heat and humidity have really tested my limits during skateboarding sessions. I also spent some time with @fatdadskatesbad at a super fun skate park. Be sure to check out our session on his channel linked below.
I'm excited to share a new skateboarding tips video soon, along with updates on my progress, so stay tuned. Whether you're a beginner or just getting back in to skateboarding young or old, I hope you're making progress and thoroughly enjoying the ride.

Last, I don’t really follow many skateboarding RUclips channels mainly because I follow digital art and filmmaking channels. However, the channels below are ones I started following throughout my skateboarding journey, I love watching their content and chatting with them from time to time. They may not know it, but they certainly are a source of inspiration to me, and regardless of your age, gender, etc., I am certain you can find some inspiration too.

Surfing-I finally got to go and was able to get right back on the board. Unfortunately, filming and capturing the moments has been a bit of a challenge. Sorry, eventually I will get some clips up, but for now, I will primarily focus this channel on skate content. If you want to see what the waves are like here in the Northeast USA, check out my buddy @CVRRENT he's an amazing filmer and puts up great videos. I also follow Surf Exchange Company; they have a couple of videos and are pretty active on Instagram.

good to see you and fatdad out ripping and having fun...that is what it is all about!
Absolutely!!! My favorite sessions have been with him, great friend to skate and hang with!
You fricken shred dude! I hope I can get even half way there I would be happy! Thanks for the shout out much appreciated !
Thanks!! You'll get there, think we have a pretty cool community growing from all over and sharing so much info and support. It's really awesome to be able to connect with others! 🙌
@@OldBrokenSkater Yes I agree a lot of good people out there it’s really motivating!
Great stuff. Thanks for the shoutout my friend. 👊👍
Thanks! Any time, love your videos!
Yeah Miguel smashed it. Nice farmington footy too!! Thanks for the shout out man!! That fakie shove on that mini btw so sick!!! 🤙
Thanks brother! I battled for that dam fakie shove in that crazy humidity. Think that mini is my favorite for now, but so many more places you gotta show me 😂
@@OldBrokenSkater def hopefully we can sneak out this weekend sometime!! 🤙
Im all about it, humidity is finally backing off. Talk soon!
Great stuff man! Didn’t realize you were in CT until I saw those parks. I’m sure you’ll see my old 49 y/o ass around someday. Keep rippin’
Thanks bro! So far been to moodus (super close to me), glastonbury, newignton, and farmington. No idea CT had so many parks. Hope to see you also, always looking for people to skate with. Can't miss me skinny doofy looking dude😂
It's really satisfying watching you skate man! And I loved seeing you over on FDSB's channel
Thanks!! Been fun skating with FDSB glad I found his channel , hopefully one day can make a trip over to your neck of the woods.
Awesome session!!! You are killing it!! So fun we got the same shoes , they are amazing!
Thank you! Wasn't kidding love these shoes, sooooo comfy!
@@OldBrokenSkater 💯😁!!
Nice tricks dude! Like the fakie shuv and the F/S disaster on the mini! I can’t get disasters but I’ll keep trying. I like the Blunt to 50 or axle stall attempts, I’d like to get them on mini 👌🏻👊🏻
Thanks, Simon! I get the disasters much better on mellow transitions and mimicking the motions for the frontside 180 with a good amount of shoulder wind-up and twist. On the tighter transitions, getting back in seems to be an issue, more about timing the front foot to help pop back in. Blunt tricks used to be my favorite when I was growing up; it's been so much fun figuring them out again
Wow you’re fricking fantastic! 😮 And your subs are going bonkers! Dude you’re going to lap me in a couple weeks easily!
Thanks! It was great to get on a mellow transition and just try things I was a bit hesitant to try on the tighter ones. It's wild; I never thought I'd have subs or even 10 videos on here. But I love making videos, tracking my progress, and it's just awesome to connect with all kinds of people who share the skateboarding itch. This has been a really fun experience so far, and I hope to connect with more people and hopefully, like you, show others that it's never too late to start skateboarding again or to just start.🙌
shredding! what's your setup?
Thanks, man! The deck is a SciFi Fantasy Jerry Hsu "Locked File" 8.25wW32L. I recently swapped out my Independent Mids for Thunder Hollow Lights, which I friggin' love. The wheels are Powell Nano Cubics 54mm 93a, a pretty good all-around wheel so far, but on really crusty pavement, they are not happy. The bearings are Bones Reds, and Shorty's hardware keeps it all together.
@@OldBrokenSkater I got thunder hollow lights for my 9.81” Krooked Gonz setup, love these trucks, it makes that setup lighter than my 8.5” setup.
Thanks for the share
@@t3r083 yeah I can imagine, when I swapped out it was a big difference. Actually weighed the indys then thunders, think it was a 16-18 gram difference. Also love krooked and Mark Gonzales, used to be my go to boards back when I was skating regularly.
