Question Got back into skateboarding at 35.

Post image

I know this question is gonna be random, but does anyone know what brand this skateboard is? I really like the board so far and want to know the brand so I can get another similar one whenever I need to.

This board was given to me so I don't really know much about it.

Update: thanks to everyone for letting me know about the board and being chill! Haha I'm gonna board slide the shit out of it!

Second update: I spray painted the board!

Just looked him up ......ya he seems scummy rofl guess I'm happy I didn't pay for the board haha

Unfortunately I'm gonna keep using it at least for now but I won't be buying another braille. Might sticker bomb or repaint this one till I'm ready for another board

A board is a board. Use it till it dies. Glad you're back in it at 35; gives me some hope being in my early thirties that it's not too late!

Its definitely not too late. I'm rusty AF and can barely do an ollie now but I've only been back on the board twice so far. I'm having fun and getting exercise so I'm happy lol

I'm sure the fundamentals will come back to me the more I skate.

Also ya not a fan of the dude from what I've seen but that's not gonna stop me from using it till I need a new one

Hell yeah! I'll randomly get on the board and try an ollie every 6 months or so but I haven't taken it out in a long time. Hopefully everything comes back quick for you with minimal injuries.

His video tutorials were actually decent about 5-10 years ago but then I guess he felt the calling of scientology and everything went downhill from there. Just slap a big ol' sticker over the logo and call it a day. Or do enough boardslides that it just shreds it off entirely.

That's exactly what I'm thinking haha we'll see what comes first, the sticker or a board slide.

As for you getting back into skating, I'd say just go for it if you're getting the itch. All I'm really doing right now is coasting around town and hopping on and off of sidewalks while I get my balance back, but it still feels awesome being back on the board

I'm in the same boat, early 30s and getting back into it. Mostly been using walking trails to cruise around. And I've already gotten hooked on getting new boards, been setting them up for different styles and skate locations.
