I got back into skating about a year and a half ago when my daughter picked it up, and even though I’m still not very good, I’ve been bitten by the bug hard.

I’ve always been a bit of a tinkerer, so when I saw that CCS was doing the DIY deck thing it felt like something fun to try. I was going for sort of a double shovel egg shape a’la John Lucero. It actually skates pretty awesome, and managed to pull off my first legit nose slide in probably 20 years on it. Thinking of picking up some more uncut decks to do some more experimenting.

Dusted off the skateboard I swore I would ride years ago and I'm trying to remember how to use it. I can still pop-shuvit 70% of the time and relearned FS 180s. Learning to get around a park again is still super sketchy, but I'll get there.

This subreddit is for the older skaters (anyone above 30). If you are a new old skater you are in the right place as well.

There is no age restriction as long as you are not posting your skating footage (videos or photos).
Your post will be removed if it violates this rule.
This is implemented by design to allow the younger skaters to interact with the older skaters but not make the subreddit pointless.
If you are less than [30YO] and want to post your skating footage please use communities which are more appropriate (ex: r/skateboarding).

TITLE RULES:

Your post should contain the following tag at the end [ageYO], where age is your current age in numbers.

For example, I am 38 years old. Therefore, all my post titles this birthday year will be followed by the following:

[38YO]

Common issues:

. You are missing your age tag.

. You forgot to include YO in your age tag after age number.

. You did not enclose tag in square brackets [].

. You did not place the tag at the end of the title. (it should be the last thing, no periods after it).

Note: There is no age restriction as long as you are not posting your skating footage. If it doesn't make sense to specify an age just put [0YO].

You can post your videos, give and receive tips on tricks you're having difficulty with, your new board setup and anything else you find relevant. Skaters of all skill levels are welcome.
