Recently started again at 44 after some 25 years. It's so addictive. Seems like a lot of us OGs from the 80s and 90s are picking it up again 🙂

51 and skating again. I lived and loved the 1984-1990 boom.

i starting again after 2 decades too ... i'm 47 years old ...and you gave me a lot of motivation ...Thank's a lot from Switzerland !!

Restarted after 30 years at 48. It's been a lot of fun. Man, if I could get to your level I would be thrilled and call it a skating career. :p

Jesus. after a year , started at 44, I would only dream to be able to do as many tricks as you do.

After 8 years of pause, i started also again to skate, last year. I was 33 and had 120 kilos. When i quit skating, i had 75. Now a year later i made a good progression and lost 22 kilos.

I haven't stopped skating since I was 12, am I now 31. After the intro I really wasn't expecting you to throw down so many tricks and they were clean! You are too modest, you really need to give yourself a pat on the back , you probably learned more in a couple years than I did in 5. Big love from the UK ❤

45 here. I'm touched that so many of us are getting back to it. Just ordered a sate online, my kid motivated me to do it. After 25 years let's see how it goes... warm regards from Portugal.

38, just started again more consistently in the past months and back in love with it and watching all the skate videos from teams I looked up to in my youth. Love these days and your videos! Life moves fast people, slow it down and enjoy your moments on Your board!

Respect, old man! I'm 33 and I'm on board again, after 18 years. And NOW with a helmet, too😜

Dude! I love this video. I skateboarded religiously from the age of 9 until I was 20. I loved everything about it. I got married had kids and skateboarding became a past time. I have always still thought about it constantly. I have always had dreams about. I am always watching all the new videos that come out. I have always truly missed it. I am now 38 years old and you have inspired me to get back on the board and let the good times roll! I bought a complete and I can't beleive how much I have forgotten! I can still Ollie and kick flip and ride and all the easy stuff. However, it is soooo much fun to feel this feeling again. Challenging myself to re-learn all the old tricks with these old bones is so rewarding. Thank you so much for the final push to get me back on the board. You are the man!

Great to see someone else wearing a helmet!!

keep on going man, you're great! skateboarding makes us happy like nothing else, im 29 and thanks to videos like these I know I can still enjoy skateboarding for many years. thanks

Well done, i'm 49 and getting back into skateboarding again.

nice, i'm 45 & started skating again about a year or so ago, after about 20 years as well. getting fakie big spins back was a great feeling, as well as learning new tricks. in many ways feel i'm a better skater than i was back when i was 14, in my old prime

I am only 28 years old and 4 years without skating, I thought I could not skate again but seeing this video makes me want to go back

I love it. I just got in my thirties and I've been skateboarding since I was 11 I hope to skate until I'm like 60 and physically can't anymore.

I'm 47 and started again after a loooooong break. I actually was not good when I stopped in 1987. You are very good and still retained a lot from what I can see. Good for you. Keep that up.

Same here! I’m my 40’s and just started back after almost 26 years 😂 I still got balance but struggling with tricks. Thanks for the inspiration 👍 you’re doing great!!

I’m 21, felt a bit old to start, bought my first skateboard two months ago, can’t do any tricks yet ‘cause I’m trapped studying for Uni finals and haven’t had the time, started following all kinds of channels and accounts on social media to learn and get inspired, and it turns out... YOU ARE MY HERO, biggest inspiration I’ve got I’m not questioning making a choice for skateboarding any time soon... thanks

Great skating dude! Lots of older guys on here shredding after many years off the board. In some ways, it feels like riding a bike. Great to have you back. Keep shredding!

"I'm a guy in his fourties trying to have fun". Same here. Seems a lot of us have the same story and background! Greetings from a fellow 46yr old skater from Europe! And thanks for sharing your progress. The great feeling of landing those first tricks again after years not on the board made me wonder why I ever stopped skateboarding. I think we will not make that mistake again! :-)

That's right "stay active". I thought I was alone, I will be 42 and started to try out skating again. I used to skate back in 2003. This video means a lot.

Started skating again a year ago at 30. Haven't been on a board in 15 years. It has been the greatest decision for my mental and physical health I have made in my adult life.

I'm in my 20s and thought I was too old to start learning how to skateboard! Thanks for the motivation!

What an inspiration! Me, Born 82...skated from 95-05...long break...skated again in 2016-17...currently on a break, looking at boards again :-)

Still have a lot of youth left in our 40's. Keep it up!!

Nice dude!! I'm in the same boat turned 40 and bought a skateboard lol!!! It's been 20ish years!!

I’m in my mid 30s started back up after a decade off the board. I used to shred but have relearned a few tricks like the kickflip, Fakie flip, fs 180. Pulled off a Nollie 360 flip 3rd try and got it on film, I was pretty stoked about that one. Keep up the good work and keep on shredding!

This guy's so modest. He's def got the basics down pat.

I’m on my board again, too. It’s been 23 years off and when I land a trick it’s like I’m getting back a little part of my identity. Hard to explain but a lot of fun.

Looked like good skateboarding to me! I’m 39 and slowly starting again. Thanks for the vid! Skate on

Awesome, love the video and progress. Just started / got back into it at 45. So fun. Thanks for posting the progress and what’s possible. Cheers!

Awesome!!! I’m 45 and have skated maybe once a year since I was skating a lot in my early 30s. Ready to get back on it!!!

its my 40th bday next month and have been doing youtube "research" on what to buy, skating 101, set ups, etc...i skated when i was a kid and have always wanted an electric skateboard. i lost 40 pounds (225 pounds down from 265) just so i could get back into it and add something more to my life. i stumbled across your channel and like other 40 and up skate channels, its given me motivation to keep going and learn to skate again. thanks for the content!

You're awesome 🙌 I'm 34 years old. I actually didn't take a long break compared to other comments. It was only four years. But my lifestyle became sedentary since COVID. I work sitting on a desk 8 hours a day. Drive an hour to go to work and another one to go home. I started running and doing small skate sessions again and OMG i found out that i lost all my physical ability. Breathing hardly because of smoking and my body was in constant pain. This is a wakeup call. Stay active, keep skating and enjoying a healthy lifestyle. Good luck

Wow very inspirational! Awesome progress!

love those shots of the mini ramp with the mountains in the background

Dude awesome man I’m in my mid 30’s getting back in to it too your progression was amazing

Im almost 40 and just got back on my skate after nearly 20 years. Love this shit man, keepit up.

Congratulations, I am 39 and started to fell too old to skate, see guys like you is inspiring.

Lol same here still got ollies but took a hard fall on a switch tre…needed a 15 min recovery but back at it.. Took some getting use to again with the slams, now it isn’t a big deal.

That’s awesome to see you killin it at 40 I just bought my first board at 21 because I landed an Ollie on my friends board twice in a row within a minute of the explanation of how to Ollie, so I figured it’s something I’m meant to learn

Pretty impressive. I am 46 now and will start again as well after 26 years of retirement... rock on!

Dude right on. I am 33 and just getting back into it. Unfortunately or fortunately at 19 I suffered a gunshot wound to my left ankle while deployed to Afghanistan. So at times it can be disheartening battling stiff ankle and age but videos like yours keep me inspired and are Great reassurance. Hardest trick to land....patience.

Right on, much props and respect to you man

Thank you for this video, I'm 36 yrs old now and I'm starting to skate again. Looking forward to learning again the tricks I know 2 decades ago 🙂

Picked up a board today at 27 after not skating since I was about 20, started at around 14 but forgot how to thrash like I used to, so cool to see people picking skating back up and relearning everything for the love of the craft. If anybody sees this and is debating on starting back just now my first day back on the board brought back so many memories, couldnt do much but ollie and cruise but its so much fun to get back on a board and ride, cheers

"Don't expect great skating." Continues to shred tricks I'm still trying to learn! 😅 Man you rock, and those ollies are top notch. I'm still trying to get that amount of air. Keep rolling and have a great day.

No way! I live in Fuquay and just bought a new board after almost 20 years. I’ve been wanting to take my son to the Apex skatepark.

So awesome, just getting back into it too after many many years! "CONGRATS"

SO GLAD I FOUND THIS VIDEO ! I am 35 and never was a "skateboarder". when i was young i would push around on one and bomb my neighborhood hill and ollie over small sticks / curbs and thats about as far as it went for me. I got into sports ( football , basketball , track ) and didnt touch a board since. Randomly i got this weird "itch" to want to learn. so here i am watching videos and having a custom board made for me. ( not expecting much , other than some more scars / stories to tell haha ) its pleasing and easing to see more "seasoned" ppl getting back at it / still doing it.

I just put together a Powell Peralta re-issue of my board back in the 80's. Took my kids to the sporting goods store to buy them protective gear for their roller skates and I saw the skateboards there and I hopped on one and it all came back! Straight away, I we went to the skateboard shop and saw my old baby look-a-like there and ordered it up right then. So amped to get back into this at 42. Just hoping my sciatica, weathered knees and pained flat feet dont get in my way too much. LOL! If anything, it'll be nice crusing the boardwalks again.

This is awesome! I’m also about to get back into skating after more than 15 years. I’m 32 now. Thanks for the inspiration

Awesome! Keep rolling!

It's funny watching you skate in that its a little like looking into a mirror. I've been out 20 years before picking it back up, I wear most of the same padding, do many of the same tricks, sans big spins and bs 5050s. Good on you man. I found it hard to gain the confidence to get back into skating but now that I have it's been my main passion outside of family. Thanks for sharing.

I’ve just bought a skateboard at 43. I started skating at 12 and stopped at 16. Looking forward to going to our skate park. It took me 2 years to finally bite the bullet and skate again but looking forward to going out this weekend.

Im a 35yo mum, I have 2 sons and I wanna learn skateboarding!!

I’m there with you guys, about to turn 40 and picked it back up. Nice to not feel all alone

43, not been skating for 22 years. So much fun. Had to a get helmet and some protectors too so my old brittle bones don't shatter.

Ur Killin it bro love those big spinz

Just bought my first new board since the 90’s and am starting back up again at 47. I’m not dead yet.

Started in January right after I turned 40. Hadn't skated since I was 20. I go mellow too. Its Better then a treadmill.

46 here and if i could get a fraction of the tricks you have down,i'd consider turning myself pro...keep it up man you absolutely ripppp

Yes. All the tricks I need to get to working on. Thanks, bud!

What a pure wholesome video.

Great man, I am in my 40"s too, never did any, started 2 months ago, having fun, thx for inspiration :-)

I was 39 when I came back to the sport after 20 years off. It is a humbling experience, and I'm so happy to see someone doing the same thing. Last week marks a year since I've been back at it. Keep up the great work!

All that matters is have fun and keep inspiring others like me,skating is like nothing else only we know the joy it brings and how everything else disappears when we do! 💯🔥🙏😁

Way more than I expected 😱🙌🏼wow and amazing …I’m 48and just starting …cruiser…no tricks..just wand to ride and glide ✌🏽

Really inspiring !! I started also again after 10 years.. first thing I noticed is that my knees can’t take as much impact anymore. But luckily I have my olie, fakie and nollie tricks back. Currently onto re-learning gronding rails. Keep Skating 🙂

Man, thats awesome. I started a month ago after about 23 years and it's fun, kinda scary, you don't bounce like you used to, but FUN!! Amazing array of tricks after two years man, I found that vid really inspirational! Would love to go skating with you then buy you a beer man, keep up the top shelf work!

Good on ya mate! #Still skating

I’m 50 and I took off 15 years after my knee blew out. I’m running around skate park bowls dropping in on 5 ft minis. So much fun. Lost my Ollie because my knee won’t take the shock but I’m having so much fun again. Keep it up dude ! Oh yea I’m riding 8.75 with 159,s dragon 58, or spitfire 56 depends how I’m feeling. My bowl board is a 9 inch but I’m 6,4 and size 12 shoe so there is that. Anyway. Good luck don’t ever stop .

I’m 33, you’re making me regret not wearing a helmet or wrist guards. Smacked my head on Friday screwed my wrist about a month ago... but still smiling 😃

Here from Ricky Glaser. On a good day, I’m about your age. On a real day, I’m closer to five-oh. =( Waiting for knee to heal (if it does) so I can start skating (again) after about 3 decades. Ok. Subscribed and notification 🔔 on. Happy skating!

Congratulations lots of tricks well made and great Ollie style!! I’m 49 and after a stop of 30 years, last year I want to start skate again... something still in my heart and probably something that I left incomplete... when I was younger, I quit too soon. Now there are different spots and skate parks around where I live here in north Italy...different shape of decks, but pleasure of skateboarding remain the same even at my age. I think that Your experience could be “a kick” for many over 40! Thx

Nice video. I'm about to turn 45 and have been skating a lot in the last year. Now I don't know what I would do without skating for the mental and physical fitness. 👊

Inspiring video. Putting together a deck after 8 years hiatus (38years old). Looking forward to it.

I'm 45 and started back up in 2020 after 20 years. I admire your skill dude! Keep it up. If I post videos I'll let you know 😉

Thank you for sharing as this is very encouraging. I was getting burnt out and nothing I have tried seems to help. I can honestly say that skating was one of those things in my past that made me very happy. I was fortunate to have friends who still skate and they encouraged me to try again. Now being 49, I was able to get my dream board reissue (Lucero) and really have no excuse not to try again. Skating saved me before and I am hoping that it will save me again. Wish me luck and hopefully it will be a long term thing.

that's great progress mate! keep it up, thank you for the tips on the socks & boots, I have just hurt me knee

awesome video. showing it to my friends now. thanks. ❤️👍🏻

Started again around 44. Foot came down too hard on the toes and I dislocated two of them. Had to have surgery. Surgery was unsuccessful and now I have two toes that are practically dead. Sucks. Best of luck to you. You are kicking ass.

Picked up a deck last week after a 10-12 year break, good to be reassured that at 31 I'm not too old! 😂 once a skater always a skater ! Good luck people, believers are achievers

You have done so well in 2 years Im in a similar situation in my 40's but mainly focussed on skatepark riding, I need to work on my street skating, kick flips etc you've got a lot of tricks down pat.

Hope you’re still at it man! I’ll tell you the best way to save the knees it to strengthen, stretch and glucosamine. These skate company gimmicks aren’t gonna save you.😂 you’re killing me with all the titles for the moves❤ keep it up young man, I’m proof you can keep going!🧙🏽‍♂️🛹

At 30, I'm just starting my adventure with skateboarding, I'm not even ashamed, age is just a number

You've done really well! After a year and a half I've only got a fraction of the tricks you have.

Nicely done dude,

Nice work. I'm 48 and haven't skated since the mid 80's but am just starting again now to keep me active. I'm just trying to get familiar with the balance and rolling around at the moment as its a confidence thing for me. Also, I won't lie - I'm more scared of injuring myself these days - it didn't matter so much in my teens! Keep it up!

Im on almost 30s now... 14 years of NO SKATING... but i went for longboards cuz' idk... i just like them more... ur SUPER inspiring! Ur the Man!

crazy part is when I was young I would laugh at people wearing protective gear, thought it was stupid, but now being 27 and getting back into it, I realized that I enjoy falling so much more now that i'm not bashing my head on concrete.

"Don't expect great skating here" cut to video. Busts out 50 tricks clean as F&%#! Nice smooth style.

Just started skatin again 7 days ago after an 15-ish yr break. I'm 33, almost getting my Ollie back again. Freezing weather in PA hasn't helped, but my legs can't take much more then 45mins at a time right now. That's been the hardest part, being out of shape, leg shape etc. Appreciate these vids tho Def super encouraging

I am a hardcore mountain biker and road biker and turned 51 this year. I skated as a teenager. Now my teenage son is trying to convince me that I should start skating again so I can hang with him. Videos like this are making me really want to go out and give it a try. Nice content!!!

Can't stop won't stop!

Love this so much!! I’m just starting for the first real time at 33 and this is really encouraging 🤘🏾

Great video! I restarted after not skating since the late 80s. I got back after seeing my nieces' $20 skateboard. Just relearned how to ride at the moment. I'm a former freestyle skater, but I just moved to an area just blocks away from a skatepark. Street skating is very tempting at this moment as well

I’m 39 just getting back into skateboarding. I was a hardcore skater from 1998-2015. I was pretty good in my athletic prime. I had most flip tricks and grinds consistent. Skated the park the first time yesterday riding felt awkward at first but felt more natural after about ten minutes. Landed a clean Ollie first try. I’m trying to get my bearings back. I’m hoping I have it in me to get at least close to as good as I once was.
