Welcome back!!! Great BS board slide😳 I’m 48 in August and getting back on the board when I was around 42 was a game changer for my well-being. I hadn’t skated for 25 years as I gave up the year I stayed college in 92 age 16. I never for one moment thought I’d ever skate again after getting married in my early 20’s and raising 3 kids, I’ve been in the same job for 27 years as a Telecom engineer and also was a Retained Firefighter for 4 years along side it during my 30’s. so life was too hectic to take time out just for myself. We moved down to Devon 11 years ago after reassessing our lifestyle and I have a supportive wife who I’ve been with for 30 years who understands the mental benefits of me skating and when I become a Gramps last year I’m even more determined to keep on rolling 👊🏻

Wow! That’s an inspiring story brother! I’m so stoked for you and your family! Amazing!

Ayyyy!!! Welcome back, man!!!! Very similar story, started when I was 11/12 then stopped at some point in my early 20s. Joined the military in my late 20s, fast forward to now, will be 43 at the end of the month. My body has been through the ringer, and I decided to start skating again late April of this year. Been super fun to relearn stuff and really think about tricks now. I think that for me, at least, when I was younger, I was just doing tricks to keep up with my friends. Now, I can think through it so it makes sense how I am doing them... if that makes sense. Anyway, again, welcome back, and hope to see more of your journey!

Hell yeah! Bro! Welcome back to you as well! It’s so much fun!

Dude!! Thank you for the shout out!! Yaeh looks like there are a few of us damaged vets, got to suck it up and drive on not too far off this skateboard community's attitude of getting up and trying again no matter how long it takes to get it done. Great video I hope you post more.

@@NateGoesOutside yes me too!

I got back to skating at the begining of this year, late January, after a 20 year hiatus. It has been a STRUGGLE to get back the 3 or 4 tricks i had back in my teen years. Overweight plus mental block have been keeping me from progressing faster. Either way, it has been fun and i get to exercise and meet new people. Subscribed! I'll see you around! PS: @DadBoard @OldBrokenSkater @KevinNiceTry are other good channels to peek too ( not trying to take away the "spotlight" though )

Keep at it bro! In this video I’m about 45 pounds lighter than I was six months prior. I feel great! I’ll definitely be checking out those other channels!
