| Comment | > Are my aging joints likely to handle the falls?
From personal experience, it's usually the excess weight that's the issue and a lifestyle that doesn't require a lot of mobility. Losing a few kgs can go from walking up stairs causing aches to being able to jump down a metre like it was nothing.
As for handling the falls, the first thing you want to learn when you skateboard is learning to fall. You should go to a grass patch and practise that. You'll feel and look weird as hell, but it'll save you from injury later. |
