Finally got to Carlingford today, nice day and only a very few people there, so great result. It's been about a month since I last skated properly so took it easy, but surprisingly I wasn't too bad and felt better than anticipated 🤷‍♂️ After warm up runs I practised turns on a ramp based on your tips; nowhere near kickturns yet but could notice the improvement. Did some curb drops using your tips and went very well, definite improvement. Also did the next in-between step to acid drops on a concrete section bordering a nature bed area filled with bark, so only a few mm drop but after a few tries I could skate off the concrete keeping the nose up and land the board flat on the bark area, no nose dip! Very pleased with that indeed. After that ran out of steam so had to call it quits, but really positive and plan to build on that next. I'm stopping myself from looking at more of your deconstruction vids for now as I want to concentrate on getting these things under my belt first before moving on to other tricks (unless maybe they're super easy).

Hi Ian, obviously every situation is different but I hope this helps. I've been skating a bit over a year, and was 68 when I started, so it is possible. My reason for starting was to work on and improve my balance, which it certainly has, but no expectations of doing anything sensational; I consider just skating around without injuring myself an achievement. But am working on some basic tricks. My advice is go slow, take things easy and always try to think about what you're intending to do first, work out the best way to try that thing and then have a go. Tons of informative videos on YouTube. Hold onto things, walls, bars, cars whatever to prevent falls and injuries. It took me about 6 months to feel comfortable just pushing. Good luck.
The guide I wish I could hand every adult who asks
For the last few weeks I've been writing it down properly. Every week, someone messages me asking "what board should I buy?" — and most of them are worried they'll get it wrong. So I wrote the answer. All 13 pages of it. You can download it at the very start of the First Push Mini Course in the classroom. Free, no email required for you guys — you're already in. Read it. Take the shopping list to a real skate shop. Or purchase online. It's up to you! If you spot anything I missed — or you have any questions or feedback — please let me know. I want to make this the most helpful version it can be. Download 👉 https://www.skool.com/onlineskatepark/classroom/4e0472e7?md=531666e76a054061a1ca4152ede1810b

@Theo Bridgeman I've been really thinking about your suggestions and looked further into it, wanting to better understand the reasons behind it (just me probably, I'm like that). Anyway just got myself a new board - Globe G0 Reverb 8.5" complete as the extra width makes sense. It came with 99a wheels which I've swapped over for the 95a Slime Balls I'd mentioned as it seemed best staying with those for a while longer. Took it to the park today, first time in 3 or 4 weeks I think - just miserable weather! Despite the obvious rusty skating I felt very comfortable on the new deck immediately due to the extra width; I'll definitely benefit from this, so thanks again. Also tried the old 8.00" board with the new 99a wheels, and would you believe it they felt fine! I'd convinced myself I needed to upgrade incrementally, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Anyway I'll keep things as they are for now to see how everything goes. Manuals have improved a little bit too. Cheers 👏👍
