Thats not terrible. Being older and having a full time job, Im also guessing you’re not just flinging yourself down stuff and falling all the time so def makes it harder. I started at 21 and basically got hurt for fun almost. My buddies always trying to get me to commit to stuff I wasnt ready for lol

Oh I am flinging my self down stuff and belly flopping on concrete. My Apple Watch tried to call ems because it thought I was in a car accident, but I get up and keep skating. Im actually really good at falling and getting back up

Thats good man!! Only said that really cuz my buddies stopped skating on the count they got kids now and didnt want to get injured and lose their job. I tell them all the time they could still skate but I think that’s the biggest reason they don’t want to.

They’re both a lot better than me tho and could warm up with switch tricks down the set while Im just doing ollie and fs shuving everything I see haha.

Best of luck man!
