When I was 38 I skated 9 hours in one day. Lately I have also skated every single day of all of 2023 & 2024 as of today at the age of 42. I skate most sessions while fasting. That would mean, I break all of these rules. I'm still jumping with high energy and the local teenagers cannot keep up with me. Are you sure this info is true?

whats your advice for me? i'm 26, but i can only sesh for like an hour and a half or 2 hours every other day before i destroy my left knee. but that hour and a half mark is when i'm the most warmed up

At 60 a solid hour is good for me. Any more and my legs are noodles and the slam factor increases exponentially.

I been Carnivore for 3 years and I rely on my body’s natural Gluconeogenisis to convert protein to glucose without waisting my muscle. I have unlimited sustained energy and always have reserve in my back up Fuel tank. Great seeing you over the Holidays👊🏻❤️🛹🥩🍳🧠✔️

Some good food for thought! I likely don't have a lot of store energy, being a short and skinny guy. I will for sure be more mindful about managing energy and session time. 2 hours is going to be pretty hard because I get into a bit of a high and can't stop, but I guess you gotta do what you gotta do. I hear all these things about the majority of athletes in energy-intensive disciplines are using baking soda as supplement to prevent lactic acid build-up. Maybe I might have to try that to get a boost unless it's got some health repercussions.

10/10 content! LOVE IT!

If I do it everyday, then I can probably skate for like 7 hours… as long as I’m staying warmed up and not taking breaks or having a conversation. How I do it now, every 2-4 days, doesn’t feel too amazing. Mentally I’m there because skating less often makes me desire it more in some ways, but also it feels like my body is playing catch-up. I don’t know what’s happening sometimes. My knees were feeling pretty good, so I started skating harder and doing excercise but lately I feel kinda beat up, and not focused on skating as much as I was a few months ago. I have been skating for like a year, though I skated in my teens and already had kickflips, ollies, etc. I’m 33, gonna be 34 soon. My only gripe is not skating too often and then skating in a repetitive way and doing like 100 ollies (sometimes on a manual pad) for progression and then my knees feel kinda crappy. Nothing broken just meh.

love it keep em coming

…im 50, been on board for 37 years now. And i skate when i feel for it and when i want to. In summer often full days, if i Got the time. In vinter time 3-4 times a week indoor. I love the time spend on wheels with me friends, it keeps me Young 😉🙌🔥

I’m 44 and have been skating consistently for 30 years however in the last 10 it’s been once a week due to family and work etc. I didn’t realise how important an exercise ‘regime’ was until my family got a Peloton bike. I started with cycling and built up to strength training and yoga etc and the results have been amazing! My recovery, flexibility, stamina and ability to ‘have a good skate’ each session has been a game changer for me. I’m not saying everyone get a peloton (they are expensive) but finding a regime that keeps you fit through the week helps so much when I skate on weekends. Great channel, I’m subscribed and liking the vids ❤

Wow Tavares florida in a video is wild

I´m Nutritionist (from Brasil) , 40 years old and Skater. I wrote a book called Nutrição Esportiva Aplicada ao Skate (Sport Nutrition applied to Skateboarding) and I can assure your advices are great! I mean, this kind of advice must be spread across the internet. I hope your video reaches many people 👏👏👏

Thanks! these tips open a new timeframe for me to skate: early mornings. 👍👍👍

Bro 👏👏👏 For what it’s worth, bra-F’N-vo! Your videos are a great addition to my algorithm. I just started seriously skateboarding (multiple sessions a week, for about 1-2 hours at a time)this past summer. I just turned 39 last month, and I can appreciate the informative, well thought out, articulate coaching you are providing not just for older guys like me, but also the younger kids just getting into skating. You’re appreciation and promotion for health and fitness may run counter to the mainstream view of a lot of skaters,(Mountain Dew and Taco Bell commercial) but it’s can attest to the physical demands of skating; it is certainly at the very least, a vigorous form of cardiovascular excessive, but in my opinion, indeed falls under the category of a sport. Your channel is a necessary niche in the skating community, especially with younger kids coming up watching people skateboard in the Olympics!

"If you skate longer than an hour..." At my age (53), it takes an hour for me to even get warmed up and in a groove. There's a substantial amount of standing, sitting, and stopping/catching my breath etc. going on there too though. Ha. Conslidated skate time, from that hour, might only be 20 mins. I'm sometimes at the park for 3 or 4 hours, but consolidated skate time might not even hit 2 hrs worth. Everyone is different, but it usually takes an energy drink to snap me out of my tired haze enough to skate. Note: I do not drink energy drinks, caffiene, etc. on my non-skate days. Skating for a couple of hours, or so, usually totals me out, to the point that I will not accomplish anything else that day, BUT ITS BLOODY WELL WORTH IT!!!!! Lol. 'Just a window into what skating may look like if you're still doin it past 50! Keep rippin homie!🤙

never heard this advice before. will implement it in to my morning sessions

Great skating!

When i skate im usually skate for maximum 2 hours. Then i skate intense without ang longer breaks. Thats what i usually can without losing all energy

Depending on how much I sleep the night before I can go from 1 to 3 hours. It's mostly just light impact stuff like transition & manuals.

3 hours straight

Awesome!

When I was younger I used to consider skateboarding a workout. Now I need to workout in order to keep skating!

Great Video with accurate experience💪🏻

Hello Patrick, What is the name of the guitar song at the beginning of the video?

Sick

Knocking on the door of 32 and I resonate with a lot of what you've talked about here. As I entered my 30s I became really deliberate with how and what I would train in the gym and likewise with skating. Truly I feel as good as I ever have on my board even now. keep shredding dude, even though we might be considered old heads at the park now hahaha

Thank you for the advices, I’m 39 years old and starting skating again, and in this age we need to thinking and behavior in different way compare when we was young, other wize doesn't work.

Good advice here! I wear double knee braces when I sk8. Teeter hang Ups is so key as well to keep your disc spacing aligned. Gravity boots and a pull up bar work as well holding onto weights. Check my foam roller invention if you get a chance. Keep at it

48 years old here, for me skate is workout

I’m about to be 32 and thought I was too old to hop on my board again or afraid to get injured. But I miss it so much and this is inspiring me. Just subscribed. Thank you!

Bro we’re very similar. I skated in high school and in my 20s. I powerlifted in my 30s. Now I’m almost 40 and I’m back at skating. I remember bailing on a skateboard as a teen or in my 20s and the next day I was good. Today if I take a fall, I feel it for the next week.

i think that you dont need to start these videos until you are older then the current legend pros - also Olympian mountain biker Tinker Jaurez is still pushing his body to the max at how ever old he is I think 63?

hey brother appreciate the video immensely since I've been lifting way before i got back into skating. one question I have tho is how do u structure your skate and leg days? my current plan is skate on days with no leg days and skate on other days like upper body and non lifting days. Do you skate on legs days or think that's too much exhaustion on the legs?

I will be 35 soon. It's crazy learning new tricks that I didn't have 20 years ago. Skating is so much more enjoyable now because there is zero competition. I only skate ledges, flat ground, and mini pipes. Absolutely no jumping down anything.

Yes this shit is awesome. 34, getting back into skating with the same ideals. Only reason I can skate is because I lost 60lbs. Keep spreading it the message. Take care of your body and shred on 🤙🏻

Very sensible advice, subbed. I agree you need to approach things a bit more holistically as you age. Just skating isn't enough. You need to do more to keep the hobby enjoyable and not destructive to your body. Maintaining mobility/flexibility I think is just as important as having some extra strength from resistance training. Throw some power yoga into your current routine and I think you'll be good for a long time. Will help reduce injuries and will activate more of the balance sense you need for skating. If you were to go the extra mile, I would say also add brain exercises to help keep your senses strong, like standing on a balance board and playing video games, or playing rhythm games to optimize the mind body reaction time. Gotta keep the brain sharp too, it's also a muscle if you ask me ;P.

Got some serious traction in the comment section! 💪❤️🎉

dude! amazing! how long is each skate session?

I feel like there is a lot of us in our late 30s to 40s that have stared skating again after a 20+ year break. I’m very glad I started again about 3 weeks ago

What a nice video! I'm going to share it with my friends ehehe Hug from Portugal!

Neen is my biggest inspiration, both in his philosophy on lifestyle and on skating 🙌

47 years on me and couldn't agree more, 3 sessions a week and maintenance the rest. Bodyweight exercises and skip rope for me is enough for now..

Hell ya man

the recognition of the failure to commit to basic tricks as an indicator of fatigue is brilliant. so many skaters beat themselves up mentally over this and there's more to it then just being scared of landing your tricks.

Great video man, wish this was talked about more

great content man! I skate 2 times a week and workout 5 days a week and i wouldnt have it any other way. If i needed to take a break from either id probably choose to sacrifice one day of work outs for one day of skating for my mental health.

It’s really rough reading the lame excuses here. Y’all need to better males.

On point my friend, 37 here and am at a similar philosophy 😀
