Thanks! Just like me that tail stall to fakie rock was a mistake😂 the noping at its finest. We definitely have some fun sessions, and I wouldn't know where half the good parks are if it wasn't for him.

@@OldBrokenSkater haha! well it worked out! Thought it was a brave one to try but looked epic!

Thanks!!🙌

You should!!! It's a sign 😅 plus falling is less of an impact 🤣. I have a few that I've kept over the years from 9' to 9'8".

@@OldBrokenSkater 😂 dude I wish I still had my 9’0” Stewart hydro hull. I think my grandma paid $350 for it when I was 13. Those boards are like 5 times as much $ now!

Those were pretty sweet back in the day, had stewart Collin mcphillips. Prices are nuts now, 800 to 1500.00...wild

Thanks!! Absolutely the hardest part, it's that young stuff in us coming out or something. I try to keep it in check especially with skating, these days my knees tend to feel the aftermath for days. Love seeing you and your wife shred, so cool you both have all kinds of hobbies to share and even more awesome you share skateboarding. Thats pretty friggin amazing!!!

@@OldBrokenSkater 💯🙌🏼! Thank you!

I will admit some of transition stuff around me is intimidating looking so there is definitely quite a lot that stills scares me. At this point in life I try to find the mellowest stuff I can when possible and sometimes slowly work my way ....sometimes😂. By the way happy belated birthday!!!🥳

@@OldBrokenSkater Thank you for the birthday wishes. Yes you just have to work up to it I guess.

Thanks!!! Such a fun low key session. You're not the only one, anything FS on ramps feels so weird. My crazy theory is because we can't really see where we're going. BS we always have eyes on where we're going next. That's basically how it feels for me.

Thanks Nate!!!

HA! Lame to you baller to me! Anytime man, probably set up a google drive or something and I'll dump clips in there if you ever want them. The spine transfer......thats what happens when I get left unsupervised😂

Thanks!!!

Many thanks!! Love just being back on the board and enjoying the journey of skating again. Hoping to incorporate some surfing in the coming days since i've finally been able to get on that board too. That will probably tank the channel 😂 but love my boards and making videos so I'm ok with it. Glad to see you're getting skate sessions in, my kids home for the summer so some days have been tough...and the dam heat doesn't help either.

Many thanks!!🙌

Thanks brother! I dont know whats wrong with me, my mind was like this rail needs something more..next ting you know its at the end of the manny pad. Luckily its low to ground otherwise I would have clipped it for sure. Definitely want to get one or five grinds on the rail then put them to sleep....but I feel like I may take one to the shin and just call it a day😂

Happy early birthday!!! I'll be 43 the 29th, July kids 🙌 thanks for watching!

Thanks man!!

Absolutely!!!💯 Gotta keep it flowing!

Super nervous trying them 😂 if I hadn't gotten the round rail for free I would absolutely be trying on a nice a square rail. Hopefully I'll get them in time, thanks for watching!

Always expect it to slide. Stay out ahead of it.

Thanks bro! hahaha gives me anxiety too😂, the 50/50 might be out, the rail is round too so makes a bit trickier. I want to get one of these on a mellow rail somewhere we visit, winsdor and rockwell look semi mellow.

Thanks! Definitely super fun, wish I busted the rail out sooner.

Thanks Nate!!

Thanks you!!!! Now I gotta learn the no complys 😂 been dodging them

@@OldBrokenSkater 🤣 I’m going to attempting some more complex no comply learns if it’s dry tomorrow morning. Something called a strawberry milkshake and also impossible version too 🤞🏻

@@OldBrokenSkater recon you’ll get them no probs, you seem like a solid all rounder on the board ✌🏻

HA thanks, definitely "all arounder" but coordinated thats a whole different story😂

@@OldBrokenSkater 🤣

Thanks a lot! The many pad is just a little over 3.5" (8.89cm) off the ground. Literally I bought some 2x4s 8ft long made a rectangle frame and slapped a sheet of plywood on. Love how low it is as it helps build confidence for doing things on bigger ledges/pads.

@@OldBrokenSkater that's awesome, I might have to do that myself, as the 7" takes a lot more effort to get onto. This video inspired me, I jumped up, went to the garage and started ollie'ing over a 3.5" tall piece of scrap plywood. It's nice to get rid of the possible hangup for a bit, since the plywood just falls over if I bonk it.

Sweet deal! Honestly I'm at a point where its much easier to learn things either at a slower speed or with lower obstacles. I slapped a piece of angle iron on the manny pad also, so I could learn stalls, grinds, and anything else. I started my 50-50s, noseslide, and crooked grinds all on it before moving to the bigger box I have. It really just helps in figuring out the trick and what comes along with it but also helps immensely in the confidence department. Glad you got some inspiration! Good luck hope to talk soon!

Thanks! That sure is my baby, 2019 taco bought it right about when covid started to kick off the party with about 9k miles so it was like new then. Its a short bed 4 door. Love the durability, use to drive a hilux in my Mexico adventures and they can take some serious abuse.

@@OldBrokenSkater awesome dude! Imma hafta gemme one of those!! 👊

Wish I had a longer bed, but still would highly recommend!

HA I do a lot of fun things on accident, then I just gotta figure out how I go them😂 Thanks a bunch!!

Thank you! Hot and humid lately so getting the sessions in has been tough. Hope its not to overly hot you where you and the fam are!

@@OldBrokenSkaterto get the daily skate sesh in has definitely been rough down here in Miami 🥵 the heat can’t stop us tho 😁🙌🏼

Thanks!!! Solid advice really appreciate it, I can see exactly what you're saying about the heel nudge. The hard part is getting the heel to do it😂 but slowly getting there. Think having a longer ledge helps too. Thanks again bro!!!

Thanks! That was my favorite trick back in the younger days. Looking to forward to getting more variations of it.

Absolutely!!! My favorite sessions have been with him, great friend to skate and hang with!

Yea definitely was a problem in the start, once I figured the pinch out I waxed the shirt out of it and my trucks😂 It was like butter and it all just came together. Hope your getting at it, love that I didn't wait any longer to start again. Its been a blast so far.

Thanks! This park is burly but pretty fun spot and close. Starting to figure out the flow.

It's been pretty good so far doing it this way. I try to "build myself up" to stepping a little out of my comfort zone in my sessions with something new or something that was just uncomfortable back in the day. It's funny-the nosegrind in this video eventually paved the way to learning crooked grinds, which I never could do before. The only time this approach bites me is when I become obsessed with flip tricks. I spent literally 1.5-2 weeks trying frontside, backside flips, and tre flips, and I'm sure I got somewhere, but it was so defeating and counterintuitive to the point where I just gave up (for now).

@@OldBrokenSkater 😂 I feel that for sure!

Thanks 🌞

Hi! I just recently switched from indy mids to thunder hollow lights 2(148). Definitely a noticeable difference in board feel. Think the indys are 10-15 grams heavier. Biggest reason for switching was even lower profile with thunders.

Thanks! Super fun trick highly recommend, its kind to the ankles and knees.....wrists sometimes not so much😂

Thanks Simon! I feel your pain, I was doing these on a small pallet to start😂 even with the box now I think a longer curb/ledge is super helpful in getting some good ones going. Been hunting for a long curb like the ones you see in peoples slappy vids, but everything is super crusty and old where I live. No luck yet🫠

Thank you! Definitely a fun trick once you get them and even more fun on a super long ledge.

Thanks bro!! I got small feet 🤣 less drag, I guess. It only took about 10,000 tries to understand. Now back to learning slash grinds 🤪

Yea!!! Get after it!!! Take your time and build up to it, hopefully I covered everything. Let me know how it how goes🙌

@@OldBrokenSkater I will and definitely film it too!

Thanks brother!!!🙌

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😂

He's definitely not alone, my knees have been through the ringer. Its been just about 2 months now and glad I got back in to it. Love every day I get to skate😎

Thank you! Wasn't kidding love these shoes, sooooo comfy!

@@OldBrokenSkater 💯😁!!

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.

Thanks! Any time, love your videos!

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!

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.

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.🙌

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

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!

Worked out pretty well, longer box or ledge would have been great.

Thanks!!! Its been fun getting back it and just having fun this time around. 42 soon to be 43 but kinda feel 19-20ish until I slam 🤣
