- You guys said it in the comments and I finally listened! Go with what works and dial that in before trying something new. Went back to my original left foot back soul grinds and had a pretty successful day on the P-rail. Now if I can take it to the park again.
Nice rolling 💪🏼😁 I am 46 years old and still blade and skiing freestyle 😎 ages only numbers 😊
we're about the same age, but I'm blading and skateboarding. trying to anyways. I want to get all the basics by the end of summer
@@merlebump5328 ok. I order new blade mesmer john bolino it's ok blade but little bit hard 🤔 I must fix it warm and skate more 💪🏼
Yea, I am feeling a little worse for the wear today though, took a nasty spill on the skateboard yesterday and tweaked my knee - ugggggg. That seems to happen more and more as I get older, just can't move quick enough to catch myself.
You rock!
Grinding a practice rail that low is easy to jump on, but there is no time to save yourself when you miss. I had a bike rack I would go to. Could grind the bottom rail, but could grab the top rail to keep from falling.
Yep, the falling is getting to me a bit. I have raised it up 4 inches and have a new video with that somewhere in the backlog, hope to get that out soon.
So cool. I hope that I will have your energy at that age. Love from Lithuania
I definitely don't have as much as I used to, but you have to keep pushing or you will lose it all!
Fair play man, got there with the Soul 💪🏼 I struggle to skate at 41 nowadays let alone 63!
The struggle is there for sure. I would love to be able to do more, but my body just won't cooperate!
Looking good! I'm 42 and getting back into it. For the driveway warm up, I do some dynamic stretches including those squats you mentioned. I sometimes add in jumping jacks, but most of the warm up is skating back and forth for a few laps. I include heel and toe rolls in the laps, some backward, etc just anything I can manage to use different muscles. Then for the rail, I test it out and do some stalls before committing to a real grind.
Thanks! That's what I try to do and it just never feels like I get warmed up without some transition skating. I guess at the park its just more fun to warm up and I manage to do it longer and feel better.
Ayyy nice job keep it up man!!!
Thank you!
Amazing progress!!
Thanks! Now if I could just take it to the skatepark.
Looking great, you mentioned some videos ago you considered maybe raising the P-rail a little bit. Maybe that's an option if you wanna continue expanding that side if it's starting to feel too easy. Anyway, great video!
I have raised it up 4 inches and have a video of that in the backlog, hopefully coming out soon. I am trying to work on getting up on the rail at the park. That one is a little over a foot high and those last few inches make all the difference in the world to me.
I used to do a lot of things like BMX, skateboarding and roller skating in the 1980's, but those things fell to the wayside by the time I was in my 30's and focused on relationships and career.
Now in my 40's I have money and more free time to begin rollerblading.
I have done a bunch of sports over my lifetime and only picked up blading last year with my son and it has been a blast. I think you will enjoy it, the 40's were a great decade for me.
That soul is looking very solid! Well done mate
👏👏👏 The flat ground 180s are 👍👍👍
They scare me in the driveway, never sure when I will hit a stick or rock! Hit a stick on the skateboard last week and took a really nasty spill.
Got some nice souls. Try a 180 out. Actually, it's only like a 90 degrees out
I have raised the box up 4 inches and I can 180 out of that (sometimes) I have a video of that coming out soon I hope.
Consider starting in your shoes an a crack on the ground to warm up.. then do some jumping in your shoes over the box then get your skates on
That's a great idea, I'll give that a try!
Box jumps are also another good cross training or warm up exercise !
@@ashleyrutledge7864 As long as the box is really low! I have tried box jumps of varying heights and they really hurt my bad knee if over about 12 inches but warming up on the rail would be a great way to do them.
@@theaverageoldguy definitely feel free to modify and do what works with your body! When I was in PT they always emphasized to modify to what’s comfortable, and pain isn’t comfortable! Start low, start slow, and enjoy the journey. Also, beautiful soul grinds ! Very solid
@@ashleyrutledge7864 Probably a good thing we don't skate together, I would pester you constantly if I knew you had a PT background!
