Get absolutely stuck in. I'm 31 and I went to KG skatepark for my 30th with a mate after not being on a board in easily 15 years and it was class. I bailed a million times trying to curve the bowl at least once before leaving. A few skaters were giving me tips and when I finally did curve they gave a wee cheer. It was a proper mental health boost.
It'll be rough at the beginning so I suggest buying a semi decent board and popping over to KG mid afternoon when it's quieter and just learn to roll about and go down the small ramps. No dropping in yet!
Getting the ollie down is your next goal which will be frustrating for a while but when you nail it you've opened the door to learning all the other stuff.
As for your aching bones... Its rough lol. I was done in the day after but it's like being sore after the gym just keep at it. You'll meet sound people easily too and that can also be great if you've had a rough lockdown! |
