I just can not skate for the life of me anymore
    #22287861 - 09/25/15 10:42 AM (8 years, 4 months ago)

A few years back I used to be really good at skateboarding. For the past week I e been trying to get back into it.
Been riding everywhere and can barely push with out almost taking a spill. I can do a stationary illy now and that's it.
Anyone know of any practice techniques I can do on my board to get back into things?!! A

I think it took me longer than a week to get back into it...

Just use it as your mode of transportation.

If you're doing it all the time you'll get used to it again pretty quickly.

Weird....

Those kinds of skills to me seem imperishable. I use to play ice hockey  2 years ago and after I quit the team and stopped playing and skating for well over 2 years I took my girlfriend on a date and we went Ice skating and I skated like a champ and impressed her with my skills and I hadn't skated in 2 years before that :smug:

However I guess everyone is different and Ice skating and skateboarding are two different thing so :shrug:

I stopped skateboarding for a while... Maybe fifteen years?

I'm also in my 30's now. Ain't gonna stop me though xD

Yeah it fades quicker than most other modes of transport I believe. Sakting I do once a year at max and it never takes me long to get back into it. Same goes for snowboarding. Skateboarding however... Getting around on it is no problem. But the tricks I used to be able to do... Only the pop shove-it remains :lol:

I'm also over 30 and started skating again at the beginning of this year. Just keep a positive attitude and you'll get better fast. I've been skating everyday for about 3 hours I have the fastest bearings board and wheels I can buy I push hard and haven't come close to falling yet. The first couple weeks I would be falling asleep at night, I would slip off my dream skateboard and twitch hard awake.

I'm a fruitbooter. I can murder a skatepark. I love transitions I don't street skate anymore because it's just not worth it to me anymore.

Like Micro said, just cruise around on preferably as smooth of ground as possible (at first), don't worry about any tricks even just ollies until you're comfortable again.


As for age, Rick Mcrank is almost and Daewon Song is 40 and are still progressing :eek: Many others too.
