Really loved what you said about finding your own way to skate and not comparing yourself to how you skated in the past. That one hit home! Much love homie!
It's still winter, use this time to take care of yourselves. Spring and Summer will be here soon and everyone will be out at the parks having a good time.
I feel you on the no breaks when you’re working on a trick I have gotten pretty close to dehydration because I’m stubborn. The obsession gets the best of us sometimes.
@@dadthighs lol I was prescribed adderall in high school and took it one day to see how it felt skating. I ended up skating 4 hours straight until my legs gave out and I couldn’t stand up.
I was down by the river feeding the ducks, wondering what my life was missing, then my phone dinged. The clouds parted, for it was a Dad Board video I needed all along.
Appreciate your videos man. Im 48, got back in the game about 8 months ago after a long hiatus. Started in 89 went hard through to the mid nineties until i was 'too old' loving it again but its a different ball game at this age. Had a run of injuries which has bummed me out but im back out there....Just got to remember to conserve the body a bit better. I was trying to skate through injuries but it just doesnt work at 48! Lol. Love what you do bro. ❤
Great video and great musing about doing your own skateboarding. As a cyclist, I’m hyper-serious and competitive. As a scooter rider, I’m pretty serious and perhaps too serious at times. With skateboarding, I hold myself to no standards and no expectations. There is no right and wrong; only fun and whatever I do is good enough.
@@dadboard it was my mom who was babysitting for me... she feels like she let all the local dads down... i somehow doubt my 1 out of 35 attempted heelflips probly wasn't the tragedy momma imagined it was.. lol. I was bummed tho, haven't seen some of the homies since November
I agree about taking a break, especially when I am skating alone. I just go non-stop and tire myself out so quickly. You have inspired me to hit the streets and try to get some clips! As long as this New England weather will allow me. Keep killing it bro!!
Man, I love the timing of this video. I also noticed I needed to take things easier lately so this really resonates. Love your videos mate! Cheers from The Netherlands 👏
Really good point I’ve been trying for a few weeks to land a heelflip (not straight just every time I skate) and noticed how if you don’t take breaks it’ll discourage you so it’s best to remember why you started to begin with.
Content Goul 😂 Keeping it real mate 🙌 Being 50 these days i usually mix it up with riding a 8.5 popsicle to swapping to a shape board keeps it fun and enjoyable.
I feel you. I'll skate spring through fall two to three days a week before work or on the weekends when I don't have my girls. But in the winter I take a break. I may do some tricks in the living room every once in a while but that's it. Also how are you liking the Aces? I have a pair of the AF1's and i love them but I cannot get used to the weight. I went back to my thunders
I use fp insoles and their Decenzo lll shoes. Soles work wonders for my back, the shoes are good. Got one pair for €80 no shipping charge and one pair for $50 + soles. No tax or shipping 🤯
what soles exactly? cause I hear mixed stuff about fp unless its their high end insoles. and i dunno if i wanna fork out double the price of shoes for 1 set of insoles yknow
Best way to avoid burnout for me: Don't always try to push myself or land new tricks every time. It is okay to just chill and do stuff you think is fun.
Hey how about those shoes, i have the same pair still in the box and havent use them, i was thinking to no skate because they looks like dont last so much
They felt pretty good, nothing too noteworthy tbh. Very light and tons of boardfeel but I’m looking for some more support so hopefully these insoles will make up for it
Yeah it’s rare but it does happen. Im considering clearing them out but they make it kinda fun to do manuals on because it adds a little element of difficulty.
how do u deal with fear of getting hurt? its one of the biggest things stopping me from picking the board back up again. i had a pretty bad injury skating a few years back
Just don’t go too far out of your skill range and don’t push yourself when you aren’t feeling it. It’s always the stuff you’re already comfortable on that ends up biting you in the ass. Remember to be alert and don’t get too cocky.
Gr8 VLOG...just jump back on my board on recovering broken ankle/fibula. Check it out. Nice setup. True. I just got off a mandated break. 45 and going.
Just because you mentioned your feet were killing you. I had a pair of those puig indoors bc I think they look sick and I went through insole madness in those bc they killed my feet. I typically rock the FP game changer insoles honestly nothing helped. Once I gave up on them my feet felt normal again.
This was the first day skating them but what really fucked me up was the blazers I think. They were great for board feel but I think a few weeks of skating them fucked my feet up
@@dadboard yea blazers were what I was coming from, skated them for two years and been on the hunt for a replacement. Tyshawn’s have been most recent. After getting used to cup soles I actually think I need it. But it took over a month and I was ready to go back to blazers.
Right. How embarrassing is that to be hunched over a 6 inch curb applying big metal blocks so people can’t find enjoyment on something that gets overlooked everyday
Dan Corrigan is better. Take some lessons from him dude.
Nice try, Dan.
Really loved what you said about finding your own way to skate and not comparing yourself to how you skated in the past. That one hit home! Much love homie!
Yeah and not to compare your skills to others. I have a hard time remembering that since everyone around me are much better than me. 😊
It’s an ongoing battle trying to unlearn a lot of the habits of the past.
Cant believe that kick flip nose manny! So clean my man!!
So nice, I watched it twice.
Taking breaks is totally valid. Love the content, G🔥🤘

lmfaoo literally almost passed out because of drinking all the water I had before I landed the trick & kept going, and going, and going.... 🤣
@@dadthighs lol I was prescribed adderall in high school and took it one day to see how it felt skating. I ended up skating 4 hours straight until my legs gave out and I couldn’t stand up.
Definitely. I’m working on not doing that shit anymore. It’s literally dangerous lol
I was down by the river feeding the ducks, wondering what my life was missing, then my phone dinged. The clouds parted, for it was a Dad Board video I needed all along.
Just remember don’t feed them bread 🦆
No no bro, I only feed them my wisdom@@dadboard
Glad to see you trying to get reinvigorated and happy! Love all your shit. Makes me want to go skate.
Appreciate your videos man. Im 48, got back in the game about 8 months ago after a long hiatus.

Lol. Love what you do bro. ❤
This motivates me to get back in to pool skating at 37 killer vids man keep it up
I really like the use of the commentary transitions!
It’s hard to remember all of the shit I want to say while on location lol appreciate the love man 🙏
Great video and great musing about doing your own skateboarding. As a cyclist, I’m hyper-serious and competitive. As a scooter rider, I’m pretty serious and perhaps too serious at times. With skateboarding, I hold myself to no standards and no expectations. There is no right and wrong; only fun and whatever I do is good enough.
When you even get older... breaks are mandatory. I catch myself sitting in the back hatch of my car talking and drinking coffee often 😊
Me too, except people always say “get off of my driveway or I’m calling the police!”
Had to cut my session short today due to illness... seeing a dadboard upload lifted my spirits... nice work as always
Hope you feel better soon, man 👊

Damn man! You got a lot of manual tricks!! Those were all really cool to watch.
Man, I love the timing of this video. I also noticed I needed to take things easier lately so this really resonates. Love your videos mate! Cheers from The Netherlands 👏
Still looked nice, even with the bail. My first day back on the board. Thanks for the motivation..again
Peaace
Welcome back! Keep at it, man 🫡
Really good point I’ve been trying for a few weeks to land a heelflip (not straight just every time I skate) and noticed how if you don’t take breaks it’ll discourage you so it’s best to remember why you started to begin with.
I'm soooo happy. I was watching a old video of yours saying I hope that you and the family is ok
Solid content 🙌🏾
Just found this as a dad who likes to skate
Love the content
Keep skating 🙏🤙
Nollie shuv manuals are tricky but make sense. It always takes a minute for them to click
Yeah the board always wants to spin more. I remembered to keep my back foot lower and it started working
@dadboard hell yea u get it
Content Goul 😂 Keeping it real mate 🙌 Being 50 these days i usually mix it up with riding a 8.5 popsicle to swapping to a shape board keeps it fun and enjoyable.
I got some cool shapes to try out soon 😎 probably within the next couple weeks I’ll be making a video on them
Post for the algorithm lol
Sweet session, wish we had a parking garage like that by me. They are all a bust
I feel you. I'll skate spring through fall two to three days a week before work or on the weekends when I don't have my girls. But in the winter I take a break. I may do some tricks in the living room every once in a while but that's it.
Also how are you liking the Aces? I have a pair of the AF1's and i love them but I cannot get used to the weight. I went back to my thunders
Man if I had to skate the way I used to…bailing a lot on gaps lol…my old feet would be toast! Planning on learning back 180 fakie manny?
Yee dude gotta make sure our minds are right, same reason I’ve been off social media for many years.
Watching society crumble in real time is not the future I imagined as a kid
@@dadboard lol not even close my man, just went on a long hike today, I recommend it 👊🏻
I use fp insoles and their Decenzo lll shoes. Soles work wonders for my back, the shoes are good. Got one pair for €80 no shipping charge and one pair for $50 + soles. No tax or shipping 🤯
what soles exactly? cause I hear mixed stuff about fp unless its their high end insoles. and i dunno if i wanna fork out double the price of shoes for 1 set of insoles yknow
i usually do about an hr. break a good sweat and try to quit before i get hurt. ever since covid i've been more mindful of work/life balance
Awesome man inspires me to learn pop nose mannys
Solid sesh man! Love to be able to manny like that 😮💨
thanks for keepin it real man
edit: gotta link for the blank decks?
Thanks man, that means a lot. Skate samples dot com 👊
Try the new 440 v2! Way more comfy and durable I love my pair
Interested for sure
What model of Adidas is that? Cool color!
Yeah Dad ❤ love you Bro
Great video!
Thank you!
the kick to manual is a sick trick...
Best way to avoid burnout for me: Don't always try to push myself or land new tricks every time. It is okay to just chill and do stuff you think is fun.
I swear I have to stop watching skate videos at 2am, I don't know whether to be relax or skate lol
Is that the same 9.1 skatesample deck? It looks smaller.
Yep! Now everything else feels tiny in comparison
Where can I find this board?
glad you're back bro!
Hey how about those shoes, i have the same pair still in the box and havent use them, i was thinking to no skate because they looks like dont last so much
They felt pretty good, nothing too noteworthy tbh. Very light and tons of boardfeel but I’m looking for some more support so hopefully these insoles will make up for it
@@dadboard awesome, thanks for share the info, 🤘🏽🔥
Freshy! Great vid! Def made me want to out & skate! 🛹🛹
the only tricks i've ever been able to do to manuals are shove it or 180 variations. never been able to ollie/flip in
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
glad ur back
mint!
They put skate blockers on a single flat curb? Thats insane ive never seen that before but im from MI only once have i seen skate blockers
Yeah it’s rare but it does happen. Im considering clearing them out but they make it kinda fun to do manuals on because it adds a little element of difficulty.
@@dadboard lol yea there's plenty skate spots just leave em
Love me my symmetrical egg too as i was a egg shaped virgin till now. And just got some bronson raws for the first time and there sick.
Clean

i bet a fakie fs flip manual would be cool, or fakie hardflip switch manny. don't grab/hang from those pipes yo, sprinkler system
Where you gettin those symmetrical eggs?
I did a whole video on them a couple weeks ago 👊
What deck is that? I’m looking for an egg shape
This is a generator blank egg. Skate samples dot com 👊

Man who tf skate stops a curb

The realest, least annoying approach to making TH-cam videos. A true OG. We thank you for your service 🫡
Thank you, man, much appreciated 🙏
