You might think learning to skateboard is something just for children. But that is absolutely not true. Learning can be fun at any age. In this video we are going to follow along the journey of 3 new skaters in their 30's and see how much they can progress in one year.

I've been having lots of fun livestreaming IRL skateboarding on Twitch follow along to catch me live :)
I love seeing that I'm not the only person in their thirties trying to re-teach their self how to skate. LOL. Very motivational. I love you videos Rickey
There are a lot of us bro for real!
Just got back in myself and most of the guys at the park are in their 30's getting back into it lol
I’ll be 30 next month and just started. Seeing others do it at the same age is definitely reassuring.
it's great that there's no age limit to learn or re-learn how to skate, plus even the wisest man can probably learn something from skateboarding
I'm in my 30s and learning with 0 past experience! You'll go great!
3:33 As someone who started skating at 9, droped skating at 17, and back at it again with 28...
The kickflip was my dream trick since young age and landing my first flip at my 30's almost made me cry(literraly) in the middle of the street
That feeling is waaay to strong
Totally...I probably landed some sketchy ones when I was younger but now at 46 I can do real nice kickflips on flatground. I can still hardly believe it
@@mstunameow for real, me too 😂😂
I'm 45 and getting close to getting my kickflip, I was a decent skater off and on but the solid kickflip usually always eluded me! I'm going to keep practicing and believing!
@@beaubrockman3380 niiiice, hope to be still skating at 45, just keep it going man
You'll land it eventually
what really helped me was to focus on the boned ollie, hope it helps you to as well
I started skating again this summer, dropped at 24, I'm 30 now. 360 flip was always my dream trick, and I struggled to land it for several years, but this time I actually learned it, and I can totally relate to that feeling. Not many people skate where I live, so when I drop one in the street, I can hear people around are impressed, feel like a boss or a rockstar hahah
With the first guy it seems he never learned to properly ride the board tho.. Getting the flip tricks in a year is impressive, you are right.
i feel like people get into skating from friend or videos and that shapes how they skate but seemed like he was just truly on his own mission
Dude rides like. 2 year old
@@josiahamaze 😮
@@josiahamazecorny ass
Dude had no board control at all but I guess it wasn't the point of the video
I’ve been watching your progression vids for a few days, I love em’ & the input you have! You’re awesome, keep grinding Ricky!
Ive said it so many times to new skaters online and in real life, balance is everything. The biggest difference between the first and the second skater is balance. Emma is so much more comfortable on the board just riding and Adnan is still struggling going straight after six months. Once you got your balance youre going to find all other tricks so much easier.
Thank you for saying that ❤
amazing
I love your reactions being so supportive and happy. I am y going to learn to skate soon (gotta buy a board and wait for the snow to go away), and im on the "older" side of the community (but im almost 21 so actually maybe not lol). I cant wait to learn!
I’m 48 and teaching my 11y old daughter to skate. Gettin back on the deck has been huge for us both. This vid makes me super happy 😎👌🏻
Ultra dad vibes! gj! :D
my favorite part of the video is the last guy's style changing from jock to complete skater lol
I am 29 and just started skateboarding 2 months ago, practicing only once a week. Was feeling kinda low that i still struggle with kick turns on the ramp, but watching vid #2 is making me motivated to try again. I can do this! Can’t wait till my 1 yr mark!
Im 22 and just started recently as well , still just a month in but I feel the same as you sometimes I can hit kickturns but other times i can't, and then i see people on the park doing it without effort😂 everything seems so hard and scary I swear
@@antoniovitorino577 yeah! Sometimes i got it, sometimes i faceplant myself on the ramp hahaha. Still feels awkward on the board, not able to find the right timing/ feet placement for these actions. I just did my first drop from a shallow bank last week! Stoked for more progress!!
You gotta skate more than once a week give yourself as many days as possible.
I love these coming out! gave me the confidence to jump back on a board at 34 a couple of weeks ago!
I’m 28, I have a full time job and don’t skate as much as I did when I was a teenager, but I still try to get out and skate as much as possible. Your skate progression vids are so cool. They motivate me and make me wanna keep skating!
never stop
I love watching your videos because your so chill and you make skateboarding look so low pressure and fun. I'm kind of addicted to watching these now, ngl.
Vids like these always makes me smile. Especially the hype from a first kickflip and drop in
Oh my gosh I can’t believe you have me in this video!! Thanks for being so supportive! ❤
I love when people land the first kickflip and no one is around. They always look around like I did to see if anyone else saw it. I remember doing an Indy grab over a fun box after trying to land it for weeks. I was super hyped and everyone else was like, “whad you do?” You missed it!!!!!😂
7:15 That's one of my local skate parks in Duluth, MN! Nice! I didn't expect to see that :D
Yes! 😊
I've skated since the late 90's, then took a break at 2012 and never stood on a board since then. My brain says it is easy, but my body say NO! I gotta join the 30+ gang and try it out!
Good video Ricky!
It's amazing how long muscle memory and balance training can last. I didn't skate more than a few feet for 15 years then got a new board, first skate was full-speed across a parking lot and threw in a pop shuv. Then a cpl days later got back some basic mini ramp tricks. So fun
For anyone asking themselves whether they arr too old to start skating again… Stop asking and just start skating. I returned to skateboarding at 37. After almost 20 years of non skating. Sure progress is tough and slow, but the feeling of landing a trick more than makes up for it. On the plus side, you will make a lot of new friends.
These flip trick transition is awesome
Upcoming again. I like it more when you just upload and the video is instant ready to watch
true xD
I appreciate the feedback, i have been experimenting with it for the last 2 vids, maybe I will save it for special vids and not do it every time. For what its worth I post it at the same time its just u see it the nigh before and cant watch yet haha
@@rickyglaserthats a good idea actually
@@rickyglaser i like the premieres even tho i missed this one. its good for real time interactions. the timing has to be right tho.
@@quillclock thanks, yeah maybe 2 a week is a little much :D
Life got messy and I stopped skating for nearly 15 yrs, from like 30 to 45. But there is no universal truth for skateboarding and aging. RN I feel as comfortable on a board as I did when I was 20 yrs younger. BUT for a good 5 or 6 years, while my mom was dying of cancer and I was constantly super stressed, my body was a wreck, constantly tired, bad back, weird injuries, not enough exercise so muscles atrophying. Getting back into skateboarding has helped pull me out of all that.
Im sorry to hear about all of that, skating is the best in a lot of ways
My approach is a little different; I started riding scooters at 48 and skateboards at 50. The scooter is my main thing, and sometimes take it too seriously. The skateboard always comes with me to parks and street spots, and after a heavy scooter session, I like to break out the board to relax and do whatever. I may or may not ollie one day, but I love rolling around on it and flicking dinky little tricks on my own terms and creativity.
32 now and I haven't skateboarded in 18 years til today. the urge has been growing for a few years and playing session skate and YT recommendations started to make me wonder if I can do it still. I found my old skateboards and combined parts that still work. I have tiny wheels and a thin board, but everything I used to do still works. I'm so excited to keep going and learn a kick flip. Younger skaters have no idea how lacking information on the internet was back when I was trying to learn to do tricks and I failed at socializing.
also, what ever reason, kick flips and riding switch were my motivation to go back. Riding switch never occurred to me as a kid other than to quickly revert back and I didn't have friends who could teach me a kick flip.
it took me weeks to manage the oli and month to make my fist kickflip when i was around 12.
now im mid 30ties and i did teach some kids to do their first triks. sometimes it just needs a good explanation or a boos in confidence.
i just said "i know you can do it" and few seconds later he made his first kickflip! that was great.
Kudos to both! 7:56 is exactly what I did and my hamstring tore. Put me out for 3-months.
4:17 I think it's more about every trick being essentially a kickflip. Once you have a kickflip you can manipulate the board any which way so it makes it easier to learn more tricks
Man i miss adnan, havent seen him for a while, he had this really sick editing style, he actually went so far as to render 3d models into his videos when he was last active. I hope hes still good and healthy out there
I miss you too ❤️
@@AdnanCan drop a skate vid king ❤️
Ricky, if it snows you just grab a snowskate, big dawg! C'mon!! Or snowboard or anything...
There's some really sick snowskate videos out there.
I'm totally gonna cry when I land a kickflip
Awesome Great job!! I skated from the third grade until i broke my femur at age 40, now 47 and right back into it!! Keep it up!!
Just started skating again last week. First time since 2006. It hurts a lot but it’s nice to carve around. Just wanna be able to carve it up in the bowl soon
Just turned 28 a couple weeks ago and just recently started skating again after 10ish years, super stoked to get back into it
I’m also around this age and restarting to skate, I want to train to the point I feel comfortable signing up to a Game of Skate contest as I used to just to prove myself I can still do it.
That said the most difficult thing for me is muscle memory: in theory it should help, and I’m doing some intermediate-advanced stuff with a few tries, on the other I wanted to restart from the basics to get better pop, form and style but it looks like my legs and feet still remember the bad ways they did tricks ages ago and can’t seem to break it.
Any advice on this would be great!
Im almost at my 30 and im at my 4th month of skateboarding. Still can’t land a clean stationary ollie and i always effed up rolling ollies. Still grinding!
I live in Melbourne and I used to ride scooters (I'm 12) but would borrow the staffs skateboards ( at camberwell junction) and got comfortable on them, I couldn't ollie or drop in but I could roll and tic tac. a few months later my friend gave me his old board and I learnt to shut, ollie, ollie north and kick flip (in 2 weeks). I was at rivers yesterday and some skater said I was capping. However I think that as long as you enjoy skating, hour tricks don't matter. I prefer making amazing friends than actually skating 😂
Yeah I skated a bit as a kid, then again at around 23, again at like 29 and am now thinking about it yet again at 33 ahahah. Living out in the countryside in the UK makes it a pain to stay consistent with, but I'm gonna' have a ramp and stuff built when I can so I can still skate when it rains or I can't get into town.
I started skateboarding in high school. I took an almost 10 year hiatus as lots of life changes happened during that time. Now I'm back in, age 30, and trying to overcome my fears. ❤
This is so wholesome, I'm 32 and just started skating too, I should probably start recording me haha
Sick that was Great!😎🤙
I also learned round my 30s. Got hurt, rehabbing, and soon i will be relearning in my 40s :D
This video made me happy af for some reason ha.
I'm 33 and spent pretty much age 12-19 skating everyday, then dropped it. Just started skating again a few months ago and busting my ass to get my shred back has been incredible. Highly recommend it to anyone.
Ricky, i really need some help man. I've been skating for around 3 years now , im 17 and the only trick i know is the ollie. Theres a huge mental barrier blocking me. Ive tried wearing a helmet, pads , even with those on i still am scared shitless. I keep seeing all those people from varying ages doing 50 tricks in a year and it's really discouraging. I love skateboarding and i don't want to quit but it seems like all the time i've put into it has been fruitless. * i can only olle flatground , cant even do it down ledges or anything
huh. I'll have to see if my daughters want to really learn themselves. Maybe i'll get back on a board. I injured myself early in life and stopped boarding pretty young...but I've come a long way and getting my body in shape to board would probably be fantastic rehab. Actually skating would help keep me agile so I can keep rolling with the kids....also when I was a kid we didn't have skate parks. we had basements and the 55mph street in front of the house out in the country.
so nice to see other guys going threw the same journey as me. Wentner back to skateboarding at 32 After a Break of 15 years. 😅And it is such a Thrill i love everything about it. ❤😅 all i can say is i love skate 😂🎉
I was a skater in the 80s. I could pop a ollie on top of a picnic table and kick flip pretty much at will, stuff like that and I stopped at 30 in 2003. I tried skating again last summer at 50 and completely lost everything, it's like I never skated before, I couldn't believe it. My brain knows what to do but none of my limbs response to anything, my balance is completely off and to top it off I'm super scare. I think I'm officially retired lol
I’m currently 26 starting my journey just got moving Ollie’s consistently in 3 days of trying but I rode a skateboard for over 8 years in my childhood just to get around but never tried to actually do tricks and progress. Thinking about filming my progression
Been on and off sinceI was 26, wish Id just kept to it. Starting again tomorrow, I can ollie moving but barely from the ground, Im levelling it out though so I have faith. Chilly asf in Wales atm, but gonna get some hoodies on and go for a small shred tomotrow 😢😅
Gives me a little confidence to try and learn it at 40 so I can teach my nephews at 12 and 10 years old. Had one of those awful Walmart completes at around 10-11 years old and hated it so much I gave it up after a month.
I 100% agree little children will help you! i started skating a few months ago at 27 and to this day the only person that has took time out to help me is a 10 year old named Mackenzie. Shout out Mackenzie got me my first drop in🙌
Non skate question what’s the music at the start that ends at 12 seconds in? I’ve heard it before and have been looking for it for a few years. Would love to download it or something.
hello rglaser, from the rise of bike shared from dc to nyc in 2010 - was a usual 100% supporter of safe 'riding' but got :( that the non-messengers are out there with no helmets - i go the reverse when they get bumped by cars - they scared the car drivers from health icu in case, right(?) - 'they' are supposed to have hats to keep all safe if non-messengers (with badge and adp check in bank) - wondering if boards and skate riders would get small tickets for hats safety. thank you for this review. elle for line skate
Feels weird being so early
Feels weird getting a heart from one of my favoriete youtubers 😀🔥
@@DaanSkatesYT have a good day!
@@rickyglaser thank you very much, you too btw!
I like skate! 🤟
I'm 31 and been really tough on my body to get back into BMX and skateboarding. If anyone has some advice on how to excercise so I don't feel back pain and stuff, pls let me know! Also, really good video and amazing to see people still kicking around and learning how to skate!
5-17 “This is fun, when I fall I get right back up!”
25+ “I’m going to hurt my back or break something. I can’t miss work. I have bills to pay. I can’t afford a ER visit.”
It’s just mindset. Any age, just go after it. Restarted my journey a few years ago. Maybe 28 or 29. It’s fun. Plus you don’t need to be crazy on the board. He’ll maybe just start off with a cruiser and just roll around. No need to jump straight into kick flips.
Have fun, good luck everyone!
W VIDEO
Back in the age of 12-18 i Skated every day Like hell.
Now im 35 and my daughters wanted to start skating 9 and 13.
I was like hell yeah, and ordered a Board for me too.
I cant even stand on the Board anymore. This is going to be harder than i thought.
I skated when I was 18-21 and have got back into it this year. With all the braille videos and the like n CZcams, I'm better than I ever was at 35! Seriously it was like all we had to go by was word of mouth and theory back then... Thanks Ricky and the braille team!
Do not ever associate with the braille team. They are all scientologists and the money directly funds scientology.
lmfao the ladies fall at 6:15 was funny for some reason, looked like a cute fall
I think cause it sort of looked slow motion
Thank you 😊
Can you give me tips im having trouble on ollie while moving
30s isn't old.
4:57 That made me feel like shit, I've been skating on and off for 13 years and I still don't know how to Ollie properly, only nollie tricks. Learnt it the wrong way because I was 8 and stupid. I'm only now starting to work on my Ollie's
My son is 6,mad into skateboarding at the moment. Getting his first proper skateboard for his birthday. Im 40 and am getting one at the same time so we can learn together. Wish me luck 😂
snow is a real problem. i live in colorado and you basically couldn't skate for like 3 months out of the year. and even if the snow melted off, there would be all the god damn pebbles all over the roads and sidewalks that were put down for traction so it was always super sketchy
I'm 41 now, havent skated since i was 20, started when i was 15, grabbed a deck at the start of 2020, my bones and muscles are getting used to it again and I suck but its fun
Ricky - I've been skating since '99 and I can do all the shuvs, all the 180s, couple 360s and bigspins, etc but I still can't kickflip :( soo scared to break my ankles!! haha
COME TEACH ME
the second person is from minnesota, i know all those skateparks!!! sick
Awesome!!
Yes I am!! ❤
I started skating again when I turned 31 and I've been skating not for like 2 years and I still cannot do really any flip tricks but I've improved at mostly transition my friends try to get me to do flip tricks but I feel like I'm way too uncoordinated...
The first guy might ride like Benjamin Franklin from THUG 2 but his trick progression was Great. Mullen and Griffin didn't get to Cruise much.
Im 28 I never skateboard but I did longboard in Puerto Rico
And now watching this videos
I have buy my first skateboard and I’m pretty excited and hyped about learning how to do a flip before I die hahahahaha
i'm like the worst skater lol. i tried a bit in 2020, got comfortable riding, learned the ollie. stopped skating for 2 years, came back to it earlier this year and trying to get decent ollies. at the same time just randomly trying to kickflip lol hopefully one day i can accomplish this!
8:51 it looks like he was eating sh*t on that last ollie over the branch LOL
im pretty impressed. They're very determined. I wish i gave half a sh*t when I was growing up.
when I skated in high school we had ZERO spots, no skate parks, nothing... I made wooden box with metal corner and we place that in the middle of the road to skate on...
The third dude lifts. That alone helps so much.
So cool!!! 🌞🌞🌞
Just got rolling heels 2 years in and still no kickflip. I also got the 5 stair tho. And a varial heel.
Idk... Feels kinda off to me XD
I was a parkour athlete in my teens and 20s, so im picking up skating in my 30s
Love to see women/girls skating.
I actually started at 27 but i dropped it atm. Getting to 30 soon, maybe i should get back to it :p
Follow ur heart!
2:45 if only my under-the-bridge-skate-park looked like that 🤩
Being an east coast skater is tough 😭
Learning is more fun when your body repairs quicker, like age 10 😂
43 yr old skater, I skated from age 19-33 jumped on again at age 36 but for the last 7 years I’ve been playing bball
Which was my first ❤
I’m so afraid to learn I won’t even stand on tHe board without full protective gear. I’ll never be able to vert 😢
53 here and still learning !
what if skating can make you age backwards... 🤨
I see like 10 injured wrists in the first two minutes. All you have to do is land on your palms to sprain or even break a wrist. These people clearly don’t have enough experience to know how to fall without injuring themselves. The only protection I ALWAYS wear is wrist guards. I add more when going into the bowl to work on transition skating.
tbh kids are better to give advice bcs when i start as 24 when i ask guys on skatepark to help me figure out some things and the answers was not nice. most of them was like buy wheelstopper and go front of house leave skatepark for us
I noticed that nobody in the video is wearing wristguards or any type of protective gear.
Try that shit at 44 , it's not easy at all . I can still pop a good Ollie etc , but she isn't what she use to be the body , that's for sure . I learnt to tray flip in 20 minutes when I was in my early 20s . I couldn't do kickflips or heel flips at that time lol . Could do 540 shovits and nose blunt shovit out tho . And illusion pop shovits . When I was little I could do 540 big spins . I think skating is all about what ya can imagine ya self doing and confidence in it . I saw this guy doing trays and just watched him first and was like that cant be that hard lol . I love backside flips , probably my favorite next to a tray . Also impossible weird 3 shove thing I do lol . Use to do fakie tray sex changes and fakie 180 trays . And all this other weird shit . Ollie foot plant kick off the wall n stuff . All my great stuff went down around the age of 20 to 34 . Ollied a 4 set of stairs at the age of 12 first time . Was so good the feeling rolling away . So many bad injurys skateboarding , but sure was worth the rush I recon . Nollie 360s are a great trick to learn and not that hard if ya know where to stick ya feet on the board . Then there's nollie trays , I could go on all day lol . Had this friend want my benie he thought I was that good , I was like na I like it lol . He even wanted to buy it off me rofl . Now I look back I should of just given it to him , I guess he was a fan lol . I was a such a drunk drugged out nutter back then . Don't drink or do drugs kids , stay in school educate yourself . And go places in life . Good luck to anyone learning to skateboarding , it will change your life and bring you heaps of joy and sadness I think and pain . But it's well worth the struggle . Never doubt yourself , you know why . Because if you don't have faith in yourself no one else will . Those are my words wise words . I came up with that shit .
I started skating this March and I’ve been trying to kickflip, do you have any tips? (I can ollie 16 inches high, fs 180, pop shuv and shuv
hey man i don't know why but i started skating around 3 years ago but i've come in with the mindset of taking my time putting some detication in to my ollies i can now ollie pretty much as high as i jump but i can't kickflip in my normal stance, i only kickflip goofy, i skate regular, i'm not left handed but i just can't do it regular, i hit it only goofy why?
Ive never heard of that before tgats crazy bro wat?! You can switch flip fine but literally cannot do it regular? That's crazy. BUT, what you should do is hyper focus and analyze exactly what ur doing when you do the switch flips and apply it with left foot forward. Something I necer thought of before, till earlier today actually, is to think about where your weight is on the board right before you pop n when you execute the trick. That's probly a big factor in why you cant do it normally. I bet ur weight is shifted totally different when going for the regular flips. Obviously it is cuz ur feet are switched but I mean comparatively speaking. Like pay attention to how your weight distribution is and foot placement and also importantly how/where your shoulders are facing. Without knowing specifically what happens when you yourself attempt a normal flip its hard for anyone on here to diagnose what it is exactly the problem. Another thing id recommend if you havent already check out brailles skateboarding made simple series and specifically the "learn how to kickflip the fastest way" (or something close to that) its like one of the most viewed of their videos. Aaron is pretty good at teaching skating. Hes thorough so you'll always know what to do with each body part that matters for what trick. And has steps that you can do at each "stage" of the trick. Like popping it and getting rotation, THEN try to get that down with only 1 foot on, THEN learn to lift that back foot up, theeennn put it all together and commit. Idk man I hope this helps.
@@meeserbaker thank you man I have managed a regular kickflip before but it's around 1 out of 6 tries whereas myself goofy is 5 to 6
@@arienteyou’re goofy brother. Start skating goofy and you have already learned to be comfortable switch. I may be wrong since I’ve never heard of that before. But kickflips are really hard to do switch for most skaters in general
@@BinarySk8 i learnt normal kickflip and tre but my switch flip is much more floaty
I have always mobbed my kickflips but none of my other tricks
i was a skateboarder when I was young, stopped at 27 restarted at 44, and fell like a cunt doing an ollie, cracking my lower back.....nope too old for this now:DD
why is the thumbnail not of the person learning to skate?
It is, its a screenshot of the video i just changed the background to make the thumbnail stand out
I bought skateboards for my little goddaughters ( 7 and 9)..
2 weeks later them dropped in from 5 foot vert 😂 Damn i feel old..
its going to be 1yr since i started skating in 2 months... its you watch my progression ill lose my shit
clapham skatepark big up
30 years old?! You should be knitting hats and sweaters for cats!
8:27 Do someone know this track
Sweet merciful puddle
