I'm 42 and haven't skateboarded in over 25 years. I was a poor skateboarder back then and did no tricks. I don't even own a skateboard yet. That said, I have a high level of foolish hubris.
Training will probably begin in May when ski season is over so injury wont take turns away
What are my chances?
I give you 98% of getting the back wheels off the ground and landing on your deck. Not that hard to do an Ollie as a coordinated adult. A good moving Ollie is another beast.

It’s impossible to be careful on a skateboard
And then, after you heal up from that, slide the handrail.Quote:

Bet you I can throw a football over them mountains.
at the very least, it should hold the madness and malaise at bay for a few months.
I bought a longboard when I was about 42 years of age. It seemed like a good idea at the time
Pics or it didn't happen.
How'd it go?Quote:

I'd say your chances are better than if you had bet on dunking a Bball.

an old Hschool bud told me about waking up in the whistler emerg 2 hr later than he can remember while longboarding so i assume a helmet and pads would have been a good idea
