I've never landed either [tre or Impossible] as a kid.

Which trick was I closer to?????

Been skating 90 days since my 10+ year hiatus.

Help an old dog learn some more new tricks.

Slow motion is better than no motion. First session after a brutal ankle sprain. [32YO]

Recovering from an ankle sprain in November 2025 and then another one in July 2026.

I have a new appreciation for this process and slow and steady is now the name of the game for me.

The fear of another ankle roll is very real though.

Tried to apply the tips I got on here. And getting lower and powersliding onto the curb helped a lot.

Took off this week from both jobs because I’m working myself to death. Headed to lansdale for a morning session with the big man. I’m really stoked to get the fs board at the end on that rail. It’s not really that big of a rail but it was scary for me

It’s been at least twenty years since I really tried to ride. Getting back into the flow feels amazing and frustrating at the same time. I can feel the tricks in my bones but I don’t have the strength/balance to pull things off yet.

Trying to record my journey and every day feeling more and more confident. Thanks to this sub for showing that old dudes can still shred too (albeit at a different velocity).

Just ordered these. School is starting, and you can damn well bet I'll be dropping the kiddos off their first day in these joints.

Am I popping out of a classic Fiat 500 like I'm living it up in Tuscany? Am I gonna primo a kickflip trying to show off and catch a concussion? You don't know. Shit, maybe I'll do both.

Magazine question [46yo]

2 Upvotes

Has there ever been, or is there now a skate equivalent to Surfers Journal from a writing perspective? I’m thinking something that feels a little more lit, journalistic, than a typical skate mag. I remember Skate Book, but I’m don’t remember anything about the prose.

Birthday is tomorrow, gift from the wife: 18inx3ft quarter pipe from Keen.

Thing is pretty sick - just started skating again in May after 20+ yrs. Excited to learn some transition basics!!


r/OldSkaters 1d ago

Hope this belongs here. Been back at it for 4 weeks. Treating it like I know nothing and having a fucking blast. How’d I do? [35YO]

I've been skating again (off and on) for 2 years and only recently relearned front-side kick turns. I can't yet drop in from the coping, but that will come in time. Advice is welcome! Thanks.
