don't skateboard. it's the dumbest 'sport' ever. but its also the funnest 'sport' ever. only 1 out of a jillion make it in skating. the rest end up dead in a ditch making less than $30,000 a year. you'll be broken by 30 if you do "make it" in skating. save your body. just play Session. the devil invented skateboarding to break you.

Thats a typical answer of a person that drags people down on the road. which is the majority of people.

Skateboarding. Most people dont wanna make it. They just thrive to be good at it. At a certain age usuually 45. Not 30 as u said for the unexperienced noob that you are. Im 41 btw. People on 45 either go on or start go mini ramp because well they dont have time to roam the streets with a wive kids and a job. But if u ask them to go street theyll be able to amaze you.

Its not about making it. Surely its a nice thing to achieve. But it shouldnt be the reason your on the board.

As for me.
I still skate
I still kickbox stopper matches when i was 35. Just sparring nowadays.
Skateboarding i dont do stairs cause i still can do them but it doesnt rile me up or get me excited. I love consistencies and technicality like a perfict kickflip to tailslide 270 out.

But ive always like that in the back of my mind which is why i like ronnie creager. ..

Your the odd man. Not the skaters.

The other part is where you fail to understand is that every individual has his own ambition and goals in skating.
You got dudes who just love to ride znd just wanna ollie and switch ollie and tiktak to cruise the road. Some are strictky street some are miniramp some are half pipe some are all around. Some even only do freestyle)the classic freestyle where you skatedance. Ive seen minirampers that were all about stalls and plants. And some all about indie airing and methoding.

Your that typical failed that that sits on that bank on the side with a moderately scratched skateboard with not filthy clothes cuz unsimply affraid to be exploited.

No respect for u man on this part
It is what it is

[I would luck me]

I mean, you don't need to learn all the tricks and such to just skate. Most people can't do half the ♥♥♥♥ you see in the skate videos.

I had to quit due to my bum knee that keeps popping out of socket. That, and I sucked. Could only boardslide down rails, nothing else aside from the simple ones on the ground.

poor people with hope and glimmar in their eye....

majority of people who started staging after 2012 literally didit to go pro, get famous, get money, and get their penis touched by some slag.

thats the reality of the situation.

thats why most skaters quit around 22. because they realize they arent making it, and stop,

[Rhyffraff]

So I mostly made this post as a "drunken vent" but I now feel the need to clarify - Skateboarding in real life is wonderful. I skated for almost all my teen years and loved every minute of it. I stopped skating for 10 years due to poor life choices and recently got back into it. I still love it, but the last month has just been a bad run for me, I've rolled my ankle twice and last week dislocated my shoulder. the worst part of the shoulder injury was I didn't even make it to the skatepark - I went ass up just skating there and had to go home before I had any fun lol

Hey brother. No problem. Sometimes we need to adapt to situation. I told u in this thread i can do stairs. But i fo t do them as a standard everyday thing anymore. This is because when i land from a high stair. The impact from feet to knee are felt. And the bending with the back is less flexibel. But i font blame age. Its more of because of ly job n kids n wive. So i tend to gym less. If u gym less after 33 years it will translate into injury. Thats because skateboarding doesnt make you stronger on every muscle. But gym does. Fitnessing means more muscle means u can have better impact. Ankle is horrible. Never broke m. But i decided to cruisr less. Yeah man i feel ye. Poor life choices? Ill respect your private life. All i czn say is we are humans

Mid-40's here, still skating after 30 years. At this age I'm not hitting rails on the street so much as riding park and vert. Broken all sorts of ♥♥♥♥ over the years, caught some concussions but staying active has given me excellent balance for someone "middle age" and I have to money now to kick down decks and gear to the younger guys, like the old heads did for us when I was coming up in the 90's. There's a couple companies that primarily make products for older skaters, Old Bones does braces, replacement insoles and I think some bone/joint supplements etc. Going to keep riding until I die if at all possible.

Im one of the lucky ones that has no real injury. I fell a lot and bled. But never broke something nor had ongoing injury.

But....


When i land stairs the impact when i land the fierce impact it has on my feet waving to my bending knees all to my back.

I rather keep it to street perhaps. And mini ramp. The mini ramp is my new go to place

Dude I respect that. I skated street for ages. After 10 years away, when I got back all I want to skate is park. I love it. I was terrible at park as a kid, but as an adult it's my favourite thing in the world.

Also slightly off-topic but I grew up with this guy and he's also the reason I got back into skateboarding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chPRu6QQmTo

Dragging them down the road? Suck a ♥♥♥♥, dickwad. As someone who skated for 20 years, I gave this person solid advice. Next time the phone won't be broken it'll be their ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ arms and then have lifelong hospital bills and titanium rods in both arms like one of my friends who couldn't resist the urge to skate even though he sucked ass, so with all due respect (which is none), go ♥♥♥♥ yourself.
