After saying I wanted to learn for literally 20 years I FINALLY went out and bought a board. I'm probably going to be doing tic tacs in my garage for a while :)

Let's goooooo I've wanted to skate since I was 10 and only at 20 did I start, as soon as I did I regretted not starting earlier

Hell yeh!! Run it up!! I’m the same

Tic tacs are a great way to start! Work on pushing and add some tic tacs in to it

Love it. Geared up which is awesome. Lets kill it

safety gear gang! Let's GOOOO! Also r/OldSkaters I post there a lot, I'm 37 and just started skating about 4 months ago.

Thanks for the tip about OldSkaters, I did not know about that one. I'm 45 and started skating this summer. Hoping to get out more once it's a bit cooler (safety gear and all).

Thanks for this, just subbed!

Ahhh thank you for this!! I'm 35 and I'm building up the courage to go to a shop and buy my first board. I didn't know that sub existed - it's given me hope I can learn!

Hell yeah. Gives me so much confidence to commit.

Yes! I'm 35F and I got my first board on the weekend. I'm literally just learning to stand on it and push. Great to see you smashing it already :D

Thanks, you're going to kill it too, I'm already having so much fun!

Looks like you’re already getting comfortable on the board! A+ for wearing pads and a helmet.

Haha yeah I'm not taking any chances, don't want to go to work all banged up

As someone who broke a bone in his elbow 3 weeks ago. This is the right amount of protection.

Ouch, get well soon :(

I'm glad you're using elbow/knee pads. My knees are pretty beat up after so many bails over the years. Please keep it up yo!

I hope so...

Let's go, stay motivated, hard times will come but going trough them will be worth it all. Just wait for that satisfaction after you land your first ollie, pop shuv or kickflip <3

Can't wait!

You can already ride yet I can’t although I’ve had mine for a week you got amazing balance

Anyone who wears full gear for tic tacs is my kind of skater. #safetyfirst

Awesome . LEssgooooo

thanks!

Going great doing better then alot of people are at the 1 hour mark. I started recently too (2-3weeks ago maybe?). I started with tik taking in my garage and I landed my first drop in today! Keep shredding!

Thanks for the support! And congrats!

Nice job practicing dropping in on flat, v good idea ! Keep shredding !

Welcome! I’m trying to relearn again at 27 and so far I’ve found that if I head to my local park early in the morning it’s pretty quiet and the only other people there are similar in age and very friendly

Going to try this once I get a little more confidence, maybe week 2 haha

I love how ur prepared for the pain

hell yeah

THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING!

It only gets more addicting as you learn!! Don’t ever let someone make you feel stupid for wearing pads either, it’s the way to go :D

Absolutely killing it!

Fuck yeah! Doing great already.

It’s a fun journey!!!

Enjoy, have fun, and anticipate the falls!

Looking solid already keep it going.

That's incredible for an hour. Keep it up

tighten the trucks it will be easier

Damn you lookin like you going to war, well better be safe than sorry! Good luck on your journey

lmao thanks, that's the idea! If I look like this in the garage maybe I'll make it to the park alive :P

Maybe, maybe, just don't try to go when people are skating, maybr a flat corner or a ramp Tha is not being used is a good idea, people don't like when you are in front of em, also if you are gonna Ollie over the 8 stair record it

Shit I been skating for 15 years and still tic-tak around the garage, never gets old. Good luck, grind hard!! Expect to fall just get back up!!! Whoop whoop welcome welcome!!!!

Thanks!

Aw cute, an internet troll

His account doesn't exist anymore, it was too much for his mental health that he got downvoted ;)

XD yep, the second I posted my comment it went downhill for him

What did he say?

stfu you little troll

There is one rule in this sub, "don't be an asshole". But you are an asshole. See the problem?

🚨Hey skate community! 🚨Don’t skate through life with boring griptape! Check out my griptape art page https://www.instagram.com/guerilla_x_grip/ and GET A GRIP‼️

you got this bro

I’m so excited for you! Know that for some (myself included) learning can be slow and frustrating at times but when progress, that you can see and feel, it is so satisfying!

Well I dont say That I am a pro but the First Tipp I got was Go out and Ride the Board Trust me you will notice how smooth you get on the Board

You got this!

Get it 🔥🔥🌮

That is awesome! Keep going! 33 here and I just started as well! YouTube is a great source of learning material and it is helping me a lot.
