I skated all my life until about 5 yrs ago but I was never good. Recently I've been dealing with a lot of stress in my life & remembered how much I loved skating to just forget about things. At 25 I feel like a new skater again, but this time my wife asked me to teach her how to skate along the way!

I've been skating for about two weeks, and have usually been good about wearing my helmet. One short study break that didn't need a helmet turned into a trip to the ER and a concussion. Don't be dumb like me - wear your helmets

Haven't skated since I was 13. I am now 29. This is my first real setup.

A message to the disrespectful keyboard warrior with the name calling n-bombs and nothing positive to say. You told me what I should do with my board and how you wouldn’t ride something like that only use it for wall art? I got you. Honest question? Which one? Now fix your face.
