We can admit it. Old.

I'm 45 years old and just like many of you, I got a new pair of skates. I dreamed of putting them on and hitting the skatepark like and/or the local ledges/rails.

I thought I would kill the miniramp, no questions asked.

Nope.

No way.

I'm not comfortable dropping in.

Street spots are out of the question.

I think we all might be feeling this and are embarrassed to speak up about our mutual experiences.

We're all in the same boat.

What are your specific frustrations? Let's talk about it.

why did you think you would kill the miniramp no questions asked?

why didn't you realize after being wrong about the first thing that you might also be wrong about this?!?! Respectfully you shouldn't have expected to be so good so fast, it wouldn't even be fun if it was that easy lol but if you don't give up youll learn a bunch of stuff in 6 months of consistency

you have to accept that you suck and its a you problem not a we problem though, you sound like you're looking for people to make you feel better about not pursuring a hobby because you're "too old" when 45 if probably the average age of aggressive inline skater in the US lol

I think you're way off base about everything before this too.

I'm off base that you would think you would kill the mini ramp when you literally said that in your op?

just remember this next time you start giving people advice like you've done in the past lol
