Just started skateboarding again.  I felt like I was too old, too overweight and that I should leave skating to my nostalgic memories of my teen years.  Truth is, I needed something physical to get me out of the house, to give me a new focus, to give me something for myself and to hang out with good people. 

So I lost a bit of weight, I couldn't change my age unfortunately but my wife and brother pushed me to get back into it so, I went ahead and bought a board.  It's hard now that I'm older, everything hurts and it's harder work than I remember.  BUT, I can't believe how much fun I've been having.  Glad to be back on the board.

Nice one love!!! I haven’t skated in a few years now but my little set up is still under the stairs ready for the day I feel brave again. Keep at it! ❀️

Excellent brother, I got back on the board myself about 6 months ago after being away from it for about 20 years. Best thing I ever did. Everything hurts and I feel the slams really hard, but it’s so good and I’m pretty happy and feeling the health and mental benefits. Don’t give it up πŸ‘
