DylanC Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 I started skateboarding in my teens with a few friends but as I stopped hanging out with 'em, I skateboarded less and less to the point of having a 10 year gap where I never skateboarded at all. I've recently got back into it (I'm 36 now!) and I'm really loving it! I'm by no means an expert, but I've got a few basic moves like ollies, shuvits and power slides down. I'm working on my pop shuvits and kick flips at the moment. Anyone else like to skateboard? How old are you? How long you been skateboarding? What tricks have you got nailed?

Shortie861 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I remember when I was younger, I used to hang around with a group of friends who loved skateboarding and got into it myself for a little while. I was no way good at it and ended up on my butt more times than I could count each time I tried, much to the humour of my friends! Since I got older though I have never thought to go back and try skateboarding again. My brother has a skateboard and often practices outside when the weather if nice with his moves and such and seems to enjoy doing it but it's never something I thought to go back to. One move I did try to get right over and over was the olly, never managed it though and was lucky I didn't cause myself any serious issues!

Jerlene Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 When I was a kid I wanted to learn how to skateboard so bad. My cousins went to a skate park every day and I tried following in their footsteps. Unfortunately I have two left feet and couldn't for the life of me pick it up. I wish I would've tried harder.

Jerlene Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Did you skateboard professionally or something? Or was it just a hobby that you no longer have any interest in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also used to have roller blades as well - I used to love watching the X-games for the extreme stunts from Tony Hawk and other pro-skateboarders.

Just don't try things like grinding rails and skating down very steep hills especially when you are just learning because you can suffer some serious injuries.

I’m sure you can do it if you wanted to. Take little steps and watch lots of videos to get yourself accustomed to the basics. You can do it!

Also to add - where a helmet, elbow and knee pads so that he can protect himself from serious harm in the event of a hard fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DylanC Posted February 27, 2019 Author Share Posted February 27, 2019 I wish there were more skateboarding games. Surprised there’s none around that much apart from 2D ones like Olli Olli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
