Can I learn to longboard despite being older, out of shape, and not standing on a skateboard in probably 20 years?
No plans to downhill or do anything fancy. Looking to push around the neighborhood and cruise a bit, get a little activity, and enjoy the ride while learning a new skill! Seemed like a great idea. After checking around online I decided the LandYachtz Drop Hammer would be perfect for me. Drop through that's nice and low to I don't need to bend deep when pushing, fat wheels and a stable comfortable base to handle rough roads and push around the flatlands. Plus - it's beautiful.
Now I'm typically on twitch as a video game streamer and everyone seems hilariously interested in my potential for injury so I'm trying to document the journey a little bit. Also so I can watch my own progress/development.
If YOU have any great longboard tips or suggestions based on what you've seen in the video... how can I get stronger/better/faster and enjoy this journey even more I'd love to hear them!
Also: do I keep recording the daily progress!? Are you into this!?
All of this shot quick and dirty with an iPhone and DJI Osmo.

nice video, i just got a mini cruiser, never skateboarded before and i'm 51. good to see someone at a similar stage as me, doing a little bit each day and getting better gradually.

Heck yeah!! For me it's just "taking a walk" but a little more interesting? Keeping it chill, but having a good time.

Getting one of these boards tomorrow 😬 excited. I weigh 230. I haven't been on a board for 14 years 😂. Back in my days I used to skate every day when I was young when I had alot of energy 😂 now that I'm old barely have energy.😂 people tell me your not 18 anymore. 😂 Thank you for this review 🙏🏼 you inspired me to get back on a board. So I purchased one on OfferUp for $140 so it's coming tomorrow. RIDE ON🤙🏼

I’m 61 years old I’ve been blessed with a son now 17. I,m learning over while he explores all, I’ve got a double drop,so cushy. He’s more into free style but we have crushers. He leads and I follow trail ,what ever style. We just have fun, skating is for all. Plus being able to find others who want out and selling good boards cheap.

You did really well for not boarding for years! I'm impressed. Siik editing too. Curious-How'd you end up goofy? I'm not familiar with that brand of board. Is the bottom meant to be colored in?
@TheFlood
@TheFlood 3 года назад
Thank you!!! Born goofy, the board is LandYachtz - I didn't know them when I started searching but they seem very well regarded and seem to have been around for a hot minute. The bottom has a 'white wood' finish with the pinecone design, there's also a dark wood etc. Though I suppose you COULD color it in!?

The secret to learning how to longboard is to build it into a routine. If you can skate back and forth to the gym 3 times a week, you'll be all trained up within a year. Just leave the board at home on leg day 😉

Haha that is smart! I don’t have any commutes it would make much sense for but I’ll find a way come spring!

I'll see if I can put a new one together soon!! I've only been out a handful of times the last 2 weeks with weather/other stuff. I was worried it'd get too 'same same' because I go for a pretty simple neighborhood ride when i go so didn't want to inundate with "home videos" haha.
