picking up a new skateboard deck today! i need to get out and get moving again to help recover from a recent injury. it’s been years since i’ve ridden but i am super excited! i’d like to also depend less on a car so i can eventually sell it. baby steps, though.
Fuck yeah! I am excited for you :) Remember, start slow, and if you skated in your youth don't be bummed if you can't do the same tricks right away/progress seems slower than it should. Just cruising around is fun as shit no matter who you are (once you get used to maintaining the necessary balance/speed control techniques).
Signed, dude in his 30s who stops and restarts skateboarding on a schedule dictated by ankle injuries.
yikes! hope the ankles get better!
thanks for the kind words! i am def gonna be rusty, but since im older im not really focused on tricks or anything like that (yet). im gonna focus on the basics & mostly cruising around/getting my body moving.
didnt see an active skating comm on lemmy but hoping to help change that bc i am super stoked!
That sounds like great fun! What do you like doing with it?
i used to try to learn tricks and such, but i think this time around i will mostly use it for commuting around town/cruising.
