Your board looks sweet! Now please go find a helmet that you feel matches it appropriately- And also that friend to help hold you up until your internal gyroscope gets the hang of what you are doing. Over the past 30 years I have literally taught thousands of people to skate, snowboard and surf and a brain bucket and a friend are the most important elements of safely doing what you are trying. No matter how old you are are (or are not!) |

I bought my son a board when I was around 45. Hadn't been on a board in 25 years and was never that great but I still whipped out a few 360's. Sure I fell a couple times when the board slid out. The worst thing for me was hitting a tiny rock which brought the board to an immediate halt and sent me flying. I'm not afraid to try. I'm 54 now and started working out with a personal trainer 3 times a week and been doing it for a year. Feeling great and I can squat my own weight several times. I will never stop working out now that I feel the benefits. |

Oh, all too real, swan dive on concrete hurts...I am old enough to know better, (Jenn was working the fiberglass dept, for Classic Roadsters back in the mid 80s should you want to guess my age)...But this skate board thing is aparently highly addictive, The next day I couldn't get out of bed, couldn't walk without extreme pain, but laying there, I was all replaying the events in my mind what went wrong? ...it was very exciting to cheat death so to speak, when I was actually rolling when things went to plan, then the little rocks and cracks loomed up, panic ensued and SPLAT!...Jenn feels better today, and I WILL try this again, (and get another vidieo)😉 |

Yeah. That is the way to do it. Get right back out there after a concussion. Why bother letting your brain heal before you bash it in again? "but laying there, I was all replaying the events in my mind what went wrong?" An unathletic and inexperienced old person got on a skateboard. That is what went wrong. |
