I just went out for the first time today, in about... 3 years. I had stopped because I broke my wrist, and my dad took my board away. He said if I ever wanted to skate again I'd have to wear a helmet and pads. Being the badass 12 year old I was at the time, I decided just to quit.
I tried going back on today, like I was saying and it was pretty much a disaster. I could barely push. I tried ollie-ing and I could only land one or two of them. I tried to ollie while I was riding and fell flat on my face.
I really want to skate again, even if I never get better than I was. I miss being able to just skate up to pathmark with my friends and doing kickflips off the stairs in the back where the trucks unload stuff. I pretty much miss being good at something. Now I'm not asking for pity, or a shoulder to cry on, I just want to know. Am I too old? I'm 15 now, is it too late to start again? Even if I were to start again... How? When I first started, I just rode around the block and practiced ollies. Should I just do that?
