Got my first skateboard today at 26. Shout-out Embassy in Columbus, OH.

Lowkey terrified but also super excited to finally learn how to skate

Brother that set up looks so clean. I just got back into it at 29 after about a 13 year hiatus and I’m enjoying it so much more now. It feels good scraping my elbows and knees again. Take some falls so you know it’s not as bad as you think it will be and have fun. Progression can be slow but it’s so rewarding just keep at it

Man it feels good to hear that. Not that we're old or there's a bad age to get into it but I was worried maybe I was too old to give it a go. Definitely super excited

No such thing as too old! I’m 31 and can just about push across a parking lot and I’m having the time of my life, we got this!

Congrats. The dudes at Embassy always hook it up. Link up with Higgins at Tuttle and he should be more than happy to give you some pointers.
