Get a cruiser.

Big wheels, soft trucks.

Falling hurts more when you're older.

My recommendation is to get super hard wheels so you can power slide easily to slow down quickly. May be your most important consideration especially for cruisy/hillbomb skating. Fellow aging skater (cruiser) here.

Second hand board. Replace the grommets in the trucks and off you go.

Don't think. Just skate. :kickflip:

Funnily enough I found my old ZOO YORK complete deck circa 2005 in the basement. Bright pink Royal trucks lol. Thing still moves; bearings are super fast. I feel extremely foreign skating now, despite being in the best shape of my life lol.

Can anyone still 360 flip?! :cool:

I think it would take me 100 tries at least but probably yea

I skated for a few years almost every day but gave up 2 years ago. It was the most fun thing to do when I was younger. Besides smoking weed :stoned:

At this point in time I prefer other sports, I recently got into climbing and I enjoy it a lot

I did the same thing when I decided to rejoin the scene, I got a local board someone had from a skate shop that closed a decade ago,
but haven't done much skating because the local streets and roads are way to rough for me taste.
There is skate parks in the city, but hard to get to because the transit bus doesn't go there. I love the :kickflip: emote

I liked Bam and the element boards, I found that they kept the shape longer, therefor keeps good pop in the tail for ollie and what not, but I didn't have the chance often to use them

I had a very unconventional skate style, somewhat influenced by Mark Gonzales.  I did really off the wall stuff and didn't dress like a skateboarder.  If I kept on going with it, my style would be very much like this guy's:

Kinda random but they're remastering Tony Hawk 1 and 2 into a single game. They're adding all the improvements from the other games like reverts and manuals and walking ect. They're just adding stuff, the only thing I've heard so far as a negative is that some but not all of the old soundtrack will be missing due to licensing bs.

I left my skateboard on the porch and someone stole it, I think it might have been my mom, like 2 months before it went missing she told me some guy she knows wanted to buy it, I said no, I think she stole it and sold it, it was like 10 years old but in pretty mint condition, I happened to buy it just as I stopped skating, I only used it like twice a year for 10 years

I would highly recommend getting back into it.

I use to aggressive skate as a teenager and am now 32. I had thought about getting some skates for a while then one day thought sod it and got some.

Iv’e picked it back up quickly and it’s great fun. Reminds me of being younger, you are fully in the moment and it’s great exercise.

As someone mentioned above though, falling hurts more when your older.

Good luck and enjoy!

Mine too, I was strictly street skating and incorporated a lot of flatland into it. Like fingrtflipping out of a blunt stall or whatever.

Also, I was on a board the other day for the first time.e I  years and was able to stomp a tre flip, varial kick, heelflip, fake fs shove it
