What's your excuse for not skating?
Tried it for a few years when I was young; could never progress with it and was always bad.Too fat and old to start again now.
>>237764I don’t have a skateboard
>>237764im scared of falling
>>237764what a retarded thread
Skate boarders are mean towards beginnersEven though I'm really an OG back in 5th grade in the 90s
>>237764Too old to start Skateboarding (mid-20s) and on top of that too clumsy, and I am way too heavyset even if I am losing weight. I am doing sports that suit my body type more like wrestling-based stuff.Still, I will say that I definitely respect the fuck out of skateboarders though.
>>238059What the fuck are you even talking about, ESL anon?
>>237764I'm not gay.
>>238005Not really true anymore, core types are dicks but that's true of any hobby
>>237764cause it was full of beta basedboys. I took up lifting weights and boxing instead.
>>238141sluggomode and mog the skate twinks
>>238011I got back into it at 28 and now I landed my first kickflip in 15 yearsYou're just making excuses
>>237764For whatever reason I think it’s lame.
>>237764>picrelPlus it's so played out it's about as cool as yo-yo now. If you skate people automatically assume you're an edgt faggot and lots of them are antifa queers.
>>237764im scared
>>238141You could do both you realize that right?
and earn respect by not eating pavement every 5 minutes
I skateboard and I am scared of falling and getting hurt
>>238147Anon, I weigh roughly 114kg, that's not ideal for a skater. Plus almost everyone I've talked to about it strongly recommended skating for me, but if that's not true, then I'd be gladly willing to start.
Just don't snap your legs big boys, take it easy til you lose some poundshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVYf1PzLqe4
>>237764my wheels fell off and I haven't gotten new trucks yet and also I can't do a kickflip because I only skate with my boots because I don't own sneakers
you guys bullied me
>>238501Well this guy looks WAY bigger than me, so if he's able to do it, then it should be good for me. Then sure thing. I guess it won't be an issue to start then. >Just don't snap your legs big boysGood thing I've been working on stronger legs for Judo, then. Alright. I guess I can get started then. Anything I need to know before getting started?
>>239069balance. center. always
>>239069if you already know how to breakfall that'll actually help a lot>Anything I need to know before getting started?learn how to fallhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pc-aUlF4oHAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yp-yildv0hw
I'm old and shitty
>>239069>Anything I need to know before getting started?Are you able to run out of things? Like you have some speed jump off, can you run out of that and not die? If so you'll be fine.>need to knowJust learn to roll, bend your knees, keep balanced etc. Go at your pace, I think pump tracks are great for beginners.
>>239242>>239246>>239255Thanks for the advice. I'll get started as soon as I can, good thing I am doing Judo too, since Judo has taught me to breakfall really well, I can't do a safety roll perfectly just yet, but otherwise it's been smooth sailing.
>>237764Cause I know retards that lost their jobs due to inability to work cause of injuries gotten skateboarding. Seriously think about it. Unless you're essential to your place of employment, if you tell them "sorry I'll can't do what you hired me for for 6-8weeks or maybe more cause I decided to FAFO with a skateboard" they're just going to replace your dumb ass. The chance of serious incapacitating injury is so much higher than alot of other extreme sports.
>>240085That's why I just cruise. Best of both worlds, have fun without being out of a job because I biffed it in a halfpipe.
>>237764my excuse is that im old enough to be usinh this website
>>240085what a weird thing to make up
>>240085skate culture is full of late 20s early 30 year olds that listen to punk and post punk working at pizza places/pizza chains for a reason
