This subreddit is for the older skaters (anyone above 30). If you are a new old skater you are in the right place as well.
You can post your videos, give and receive tips on tricks you're having difficulty with, your new board setup, what you think would be good for a new skater to get and anything else you find relevant. Skaters of all skill levels are welcome.
There is no age restriction as long as you are not posting your skating footage (See rules below before posting).
This subreddit is for the older skaters (anyone above 30). If you are a new old skater you are in the right place as well.
There is no age restriction as long as you are not posting your skating footage (videos or photos).
Your post will be removed if it violates this rule.
This is implemented by design to allow the younger skaters to interact with the older skaters but not make the subreddit pointless.
If you are less than [30YO] and want to post your skating footage please use communities which are more appropriate (ex: r/skateboarding).
TITLE RULES:
Your post should contain the following tag at the end [ageYO], where age is your current age in numbers.
For example, I am 38 years old. Therefore, all my post titles this birthday year will be followed by the following:
[38YO]
Common issues:
. You are missing your age tag.
. You forgot to include YO in your age tag after age number.
. You did not enclose tag in square brackets [].
. You did not place the tag at the end of the title. (it should be the last thing, no periods after it).
Note: There is no age restriction as long as you are not posting your skating footage. If it doesn't make sense to specify an age just put [0YO].

Been working on the Backside Boneless for a while [37YO]
I love footplants and grab tricks so naturally I’ve wanted this one for a while. I’ve had them down (kinda) on banks for a while and I thought it was time I gave it a legit send session on my mini ramp.
This is a great sub. When I got back into skating a few years ago y’all were a hugely positive influence on me.
Keep shredding friends!

My favorite egg graphics [39YO]
Hey fellow egg heads, just wanted to share my top 3 favorite Egg graphics Heroin has done. I also wanted to give away an Anatomy of the Egg shirt. The giveaway is just to say thank you for all the people who have been watching and subscribing to the videos, I never expected anyone to watch them to begin with, so it’s been such a boon to my spirits to have people respond in such a positive way. As a fellow Old Skater this community has been awesome and I’m stoked to see everyone’s clips and new setups everyday.
Just a heads up Heroin skateboards is not involved in this, I’m just a fan and thought it would be fun to pass on something from my Ice pile.

[UK/London]I managed to stream my entire session for day 228 learning to skate in my 30s. here's the highlights/lowlights. My batter bank was doing work as my phone was constantly between 1-3% battery. I got some higher quality footy on my go pro but I'll upload that to my yt later.[35yo]

Combining my love for photography with my love for skating. Getting back into this has reignited my drive to capture cool shots. My tricks aren’t noteworthy but I’m having fun learning again and capturing it all. Here’s another shot of this steep pyramid 50-50 at my local park [35YO]

Made my own graphic [37YO]
Got 5 sessions out of the board I bought to get back into skating after a long (16y) break before I snapped it. Decided to buy 5 blanks and make my own graphic with a stencil kit I found online. Pretty happy with how it turned out.
The setup:
Moose blank deck, 7.875"
Krux K5 DLK black widow, 8"
Spitfire 53mm 99a repeater, black
Mosaic titanium coated abec 7 bearings
Shake junt gold allen hardware
Mob grip

Is anyone skating anything smaller than an 8? [36yo]
I started skating in late 2001. My first board was a 7.5 because that's what was recommended to me at the time and I didn't know the first thing about skating. Over the next few years the widest I went was like a 7.8, and I thought that was wide.
Long story short I didn't skate much at all for about fifteen years or so and when I got back in to it last year my first board was an 8. I was wondering if any of you skate anything smaller than an 8, or if you ever see any smaller decks out in the wild. It feels like small boards went extinct. I'm totally used to the 8 now but was thinking about getting a 7.75 for the hell of it.

Best egg shape for Indy 169’s [30YO]
I just recently got into skating again this week. I’ve been liking the look of the egg shaped skate boards.
I bought Indy 169’s and now I see that mostly uses Ace 77+ for their eggs. So it’s a little late on that. I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction into buying an egg deck that’ll fit the 169’s good.
I was looking at the herion decks but I was reading that a may need bigger trucks. Also I have seen the anti-hero huffer deck. But I feel like I need smaller trucks for that.

Wave Rave Ramp [48yo]
If you grew up on a spine mini ramp like I did, wave rave LA has one... listen for the pool coping and diamond grind too... free to ride during business hours!

I tried 100 times to ollie up and then grind the coping but just couldn't get there. So I dropped in instead. This thing is hard to skate.

Best way to connect 2 3ft quarterpipes? [50YO]
Anyone have any tips about the best way to turn my 3ft WPs into one 6 ft one, temporarily? Mostly I’ve just been screwing them together when I want to skate it, but it’s not super efficient. Can’t keep them together and still get them back into the garage, which is why I’m looking for a quick lock/unlock sort of solution. Any help is super appreciated!

how do we feel about deck rails? [37yo]
Got back on the board 2 months ago, riding a 8.12 chocolate, been messing with boardslides and its been fun but doing it on street terrain like parking blocks is really messing up my board beyond just the graphic. are deck rails acceptable on a normal size board or is it a cruiser thing only?
