    Watching skateboarding is awesome, the way they perform tricks seems so effortless...
    But is it? Actually how hard is skateboarding? These 3 non skateboarders set out on a journey to learn to skateboard over a different period of times from 1 day up to 30 days. We follow along with their progression and see how fast they can learn.

      Yo don’t give up. Skating culture can be “elite” at times. They’ll throw around words like you are a poser etc. Don’t pay them any mind. You do you. If you can only ride without falling and that’s good for you, then that’s victory. Set your own goals.

      Nope, you're not. Just got back into skateboarding after not skating since 2006(I sucked back then since I only skated for a few months). I'm 42 now. No reason to feel weird or awkward. Just do what makes you happy and let the gatekeepers be mad.

    I was 42 when I for the first time ever stood on a skateboard. First thing I did was just learned to get on it and push. Everything after that was learning through braile and some tutelage from kids at the park. I'm now 2½ years into skate and ride ramps and bowls. Also being in my 40's, old bones knee braces, elbow, knee pads and helmet are a must

He asked me why dont you have elbow pads and i told him your knees and elbows can heal but your head is more important. i feel like i imparted some valuable advice to that kid.

    As a new skater at 28 I relate a lot to this, though I lean more towards just cruising and hill bombing as a way of being active. I do have a setup for tricks, which I try in the backyard and can kind of tic tac, but a big worry is hurting my wrists because I work with my hands and kind of need them, so that is a big hindrance unfortunately. But I am determined, I'll just very slowly build up to doing more tricks 😅

Definitely will be keeping at it 😃

    I think with many skills, people see others do it effortlessly then they think it's easy. Not just with skateboarding.
    As a sidenote, I haven't decided yet if I'm gonna start with skateboarding at all, as it looks scary and the skate park is like at the other end of town. And the best I can do is ask my friends if they know anyone who knows how to skate and can help me learn it.
    And I feel like I won't be able to learn it all alone from the internet.
    I'm 25 and never did skateboarding, but the thought of me rolling around town lives rent free in my head so much that it would be a massive improvement from just walking to everywhere.

    When that girl did the splits...I sympathize. I'm 53, female and have ridden skateboards just to roll on flat land since 1975. Every now and then I do something similar to that to this day, but not nearly as exaggerated as she "purposely" did it....and it's horrible. I will say that no one makes fun of me...most skaters are so surprised at my age they are just thrilled to see me roll. Ha. I'm thrilled to roll. Not everyone has to be good....some of us just enjoy doing what WE are capable of within our own physical limits. My whole life attitude is as skater as it gets....if you don't f*&k me, feed me or finance me....your opinion of ME or my skills doesn't matter!!

    I know I'm not the only one who teared up at the end.

    Video series idea. each member of the braille team mentors some one for 30 days and we get a skate video montage.
