Thanks for watching everyone. I hope you enjoy it!
Skated for 10 years before I got into drinking/partying instead; gained 90lbs between 20 and 22, and I still have the weight. Just turned 30, 3rd Little One on the way, and I'm going to get back into it. I miss the shit out of skateboarding, and I need to lose weight. "It's okay, trust me. Just. Skate." Hell yeah man. I'm gonna be thinking of you when I go to my local park!!
Your story is very similar to mine besides quitting. I. 35 y/o, 6'2" height and about 250lbs. It's hard with the weight gain but very worth it. Hope you get out there and shred brother
You got a board?
Just started back up after 35 years. Age 50, 5'11, 235. Loving ever minute of it, body does not agree. Yet.
Hahaha I know the feeling when the body doesn't agree lol You will get there in due time brother
Love the channel. I just turned 40. Skated for about 15 years. My 8 year old son has really fell in love with skating and it has pushed me to get back out there with him. Videos like this certainly help!
Heck yea man. Thats awesome to hear. I just had a son so I can't wait to skate with him if he picks it up. Keep getting those sessions sir!!!
Buddy, I LOVED this video! I am a 50 year old dad getting back into skating and I really enjoyed hearing you positively verbalize what you wanted to do, and you did it- and ended with a kick flip! Well done
Thanks sir. Glad you enjoyed it. I love pushing through boundaries with skating. Keep getting at it my brother. Hope to see some clips of you getting it!
Bro is just casually an inspiration
Thanks mate. Skating is my therapy
Loved watching this
Bro, I'm 43 and just started last June. That struggle is so damn real.
Man the struggle is real bro. I'm with you. Your not alone
Bro, thank you for putting in time for what you do. Its great inspiration.
Appreciate you mate. I'm just a dad that loves skating. You still skate?
Warming up is everything at our age. Good stuff man!!!
man I'm realizing this everytime dude. lets get a sesh when your back to 100%
@@tonyperksexperience1988 I'm ready go baby 💪
purrrrfect :)
I’m 38 and I can barely land flatland tricks. This is inspiring!
It's all good mate as long as you skate
Great vid, try 4, give me more! Battle for your best, keep skating better.
Challenge accepted
Ok i see you bro!
Appreciate it
4th try! 👍👍👍👍 you should make that your slogan!😅 I subd too. Cool video.
I might have to make that one lol. Thanks man. Appreciate the support mate
5050 front board fakie is dope. Wish I was skating flat bars like that. Mostly flatground for me these days. As long as I keep tre on lock I’m hangin in there.
It's a fun trick. I honestly wish I had my tre flips back. I gotta get them back soon. Please show me the way lol
@@tonyperksexperience1988 damn dude your skating handrails like that but not tre? That’s crazy those rail tricks are 10x harder.
Awesome!
Thanks Stacy Thomas!!!
Yo I love that haha. I liked the video cause you landed it four try! That was cool man. Loving the video so far 11:27
thanks man. trying out a new way I do my videos. a little more behind the scenes and stuff. glad you like it bro
@@tonyperksexperience1988 yeah man this was a good experiment. I like it 👍🏼
@@HobbyDrop heck yea bro. Appreciate you
Nice skills Dad, I'm a 50+ skater South of Indianapolis returning to skating after 11 yrs. Fat, unfit but stoked. Looking for old man skate buddies so if you're in the area get in touch. Skating alone sucks!!
Yea man I know the feeling of skating alone. After awhile I started to get used to it. But if I want to get better than skating with people is the way to go. I appreciate the invite. Most definitely I would love to. Add my on ig cause it's easier to communicate that way
I liked even before you got it on the fourth try!!
haha thanks bro. that was a fun sesh. cant wait to get back out there
43yo here, I'm back on my board as well! Keep pushing bro!
Oh man I love to hear that. Most definitely I'm not gonna stop until I can't. Where you from?
@@tonyperksexperience1988 Ecuador! Blessings from South America 🙌🏼💪🏼
Heck yea mate. Keep shredding
You need to skate Jane Reynolds park bro
Oh I love that park. It's a really good layout and the ledge is so good there
Oh shit you live out in Palmdale? Used to skate here a lot
I really like this park. It got kinda bad for awhile like people getting robbed and fights and murders. Now it's pretty chill. That's dope you used to skate here!
that took balls..
it was pretty scary honestly, sometimes you just gotta do baby steps
Hey man - I'm trying to get back into skateboarding at 36, can I ask if it's not rude, how old you are? Also, how long did it take you to get this good?
I'm 35 and no it's not rude lol. I'm a open book so ask away. Also I've been skating for most of my life so I'm very comfortable on my board. Started when I was about 9 years old and started taking it seriously when I was about 17. So over 20 years skating
Was gonna like but you didn’t land it third try… lol just kidding I liked
Hahahaha I'm dead 🤣 when I missed it I was like "well there goes that like" lmao
That skateparks sucks ,u live out here or what?
Yea I live out here. But compared to Marie kerr... this park is great lol
